  1. Aargh - so I finally got a chance to try nevada after the new patch and while the weird light effect is gone, now all the buildings are gone too! There is not a single building, car, or lamp post. Nothing at all. Caucasus and Normandy are working fine with everything visible. Any ideas???
  2. Thanks for the quick reply! That's quite a bit longer than I was expecting. Probably explains why I didn't notice a significant effect.
  3. This may seem like a dumb question but I can't find the answer anywhere. How do I know if the radiators are fully open? How long do I have to hold the switches in the open position? Thanks
  4. This post definitely needs to be stickied! I'm finding it an excellent way to keep up to speed with all the excellent DCE campaigns without being able to regularly check the forum.
  5. It's definitely a bug. While it may be an effect that needs some tuning, it's currently terribly ugly and as someone said above, makes the desert look like a swamp. I can see what you mean about adding depth but in its current state I am glad its gone
  6. I did a bit more of a search and I found this thread with same problem: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=201846 Seems that its not me or my system but rather a bug with a recent update. How do we flag this issue with ED? It's making otherwise beautiful terrain look really terrible!
  7. After quite a bit of tweaking I managed to get 2.5 running on my relatively older PC with a compromise between visuals and performance. I'm overall very happy with it. Except I get this odd texture reflection problem in the direct line of the sun and only on the Nevada map. I've switched off all external graphics options, I've tried without MSAA or AF. I don't get the same problem on Caucasus or Normandy. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance My system specs: i7-3770 3.40GHz Radeon R9 200/HD 7900 series 16Gb RAM

    2.5 ?

    While it has been a long wait, the nevada terrain is very playable and has a number of available campaigns and missions. Have you played the red flag campaigns? The F-5E aggressor campaign or MBOT's F-5E/Mig-21 dynamic campaigns? There is plenty there to tide you over until 2.5 is released. Regarding the "juggling too many balls", while I am just guessing here, but I presume that ED have different teams and different people working on this terrains at different stages. For example, Normandy might have needed a lot of work from their artists but Nevada needs more work from programmers. Also remember that we are going to get a free 2.5 Caucasus map update.
  9. Wow, awesome news! I'm about to fly the last mission on the fantastic "UN Pilot" Huey campaign and I was wondering what I was going to do afterwards, because I still love flying the Huey. Can't wait for this one!
  10. Okay, these textures are awesome. I'm gonna give you the money you deserve for it. Is there any ongoing discussion/updates going on that I'm missing. The file I downloaded was version 2.5 but the thread only mentions up to 2.4?
  11. A couple of months ago I was just like you, a complete helicopter noob. The things absolutely terrified me, however, I decided I was going to learn how to fly one even if it killed me. (And it did kill me, many, many times) I learnt to fly on the Huey. I think it is the way to go because 1) the systems are very, very, very simple so you can just focus on flying it rather than setting it up 2) there are no automated flying systems, so you'll really have to learn the physics involved in flying a helo and develop the fine touch required to fly it well Since learning (but I've not yet "mastered") the Huey, I've started flying the Ka-50. The systems take much more time to learn but are not overwhelming. I couldn't believe how easy it was to fly the thing, however, in comparison. I can fling the Black Shark all around the battlefield without much difficulty. I haven't yet tried the Mi-8 (all those switches scare me) or the gazelle (It looks like a very finicky thing to fly, and its relatively new so I like the bugs to be ironed out first) but I am now in love with helos just as much as fixed wing aircraft. TL;DR - Learn on the Huey
  12. Are you guys really, really sure that this is operating as intended? It is extremely frustrating and counter-intuitive. Why can't it just work the way it does in this old training video? (Watch from 4:40) [ame] [/ame]
  13. I bought the Hawk direct from the VAEO way back at initial release. I've been away from DCS simming for a while due to "real life" and now I'm back trying to bind my account but there is an issue. It says it is already bound to Viper#1 - Crash Furthermore, there is an activation listed to an IP in the United Kingdom to which I have never been. This doesn't stop me from installing the module via the dcs_updater.exe workaround and activating it using my key. However, it bothers me that my key is bound to another account and I can't install via the convenient module manager. Anyone know how I can remedy this?
  14. Found this thread when I was looking for the manual. I really don't think we have anything to worry about. The Belsimtek manuals for all the other modules have been fantastic, better than EDs in some ways. It will come in good time.
  15. Thanks, that was a great read and some awesome screenshots!
