  1. [ame] [/ame] Now I know 4 center rubber pads....Youtube is wonderful !!!
  2. Mad Catz took 15 messages back and forth to finally say I was a month and a half past warranty. Anyway, Ive taken all the screws out of the bottom and still cant get the halves to open up. There are 10 rubber pads that MAY have screws under them.......?????? I scraped off the center serial number thinking a screw was under and its not. Guess I will start peeling off rubber pads
  3. Im going to wait to hear back from Mad Catz before I unscrew the center screw with the serial number on it. They may have me ship it back, so before I open it up, I will wait two more days for an answer. Thank You so much for the advice and help, I appreciate it VERY much. have a hard enough time taking off in the dora with pedals, and I just like having them.
  4. The light does come on. Ive tried it on two computers now too. I do have a meter. Am I checking for continuity ? Saitek has a two year warranty and of course the pedals are two years and a month and a half old.
  5. I was using them on the same computer and things were fine. I had to move the computer and took everything apart, and when I set up my rig again at home, the pedals are not seen in the PC's "Devices and Printers" area ( joystick hotas is though) and no column in DCS, but the pedals seem to have died or something. I tried on a laptop with 32 bit and it did not see the rudder pedals either. I think that is proof that they are somehow broken ? Thanks for any advice or help with this. Cant take off in WWII Dora without my pedals, and cant afford new ones either. I will have to check to see if they are over one year old.
  6. Thank You so much for the great gift !!! Hope You have fun making it !
  7. My PC reservoir froze, and it took me awhile to get everything fixed. I have not played DCSW Sense Jan 9th, and now I did all the upgrades and the old 1.5 works great, but the 2.0 won't Load. It crashes. I did the repair and upgrade but it crashes. I did a video card upgrade and also trackir had a new version. I have 4 days off of work and wanted to fly new terrain rather then caucus again. Any help would be appreciated. *********************************************************** Fixed Problem******************************** I found this with a search... Go to C:\Users\Reinladow\Saved Games\DCS.openalpha\Config\options.lua and edit ["height"] = 1920, and ["width"] = 1080, to your correct resolution. I ended up just erasing my Options.Lua and now everything is great
  8. I just could not change the photo on the cockpit and had a nice person help me with doing that. The Dora is my favorite DCSW plane and while Im doing really well now taking off, I still cant land it for beans. I have had some tips from others and found a great video and have tried everything and just cant get the hang of landing. I don't die upon landing, but I always break the Dora where I have to have it fixed. Strange how I can land the Mustang no problem, but not the German Planes. [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5SyG9iVEhYA[/ame] this was so much help, but I just need another thousand of hours practice.
  9. Thank You Little D for this info about the video !!! I really look forward to using the settings recommended in the video but its so cold in my upstairs mancave where My computer is that I will have to wait until tomorrow...........29 degrees F is just not fun to fly in !!!! Im going back down to the 68F main part of the house to drink a cold beer !!! **********************************************UPDATE************************************************ well I tried and tried and just still could not do it. I will keep practicing at Ifoxromeo multiplayer site where He set up a landing runway for the dora.
  10. I look forward to having new planes and just about everything that has to do with DCS World.... The Worlds Best Flight Sim !!! I wish You all a safe and Happy New Year !
  11. I spent a long time trying to take off, and finally got some help and was able to finally do most of my T/O's without flipping to the left and crashing. Now landing is another issue.... I dont normally die upon landing, but its very rare for me to be able to do so without damaging the Dora. I have practiced over and over and always bounce many times. I have practiced flying very low over the lakes and ground, and just cant seem to land very well. I use flaps down and cut my power off just before landing and cant seem to ever have my stick back into my lap for the tail to lock. If I try to bring it back the plane shoots up and I bounce or tumble and die.
  12. Thank You so much for taking the time to do this ! Happy New Year !
  13. I was in a P-51 in multiplayer yesterday and had all my settings the same as 1.2 and 1.5, but in 2.0 I experienced a very strange popping noise in the engine when I was taxiing and turning. It sounded really great but I had never heard that noise before and I wondered if that was a 2.0 change for the sound or was something wrong going on ????
  14. I have also been looking for a flight manual as I cant get some things to work.
  15. I checked around online and B&H has them for $399.00 I do not have any nice large stores anywhere near me so I would have to buy it online. Most places are still charging over 500 bucks. Any info on sales would be much appreciated as My old Saitek X36F and X35T just does not seem to allow me to fly low near the ground the way I think the TM Warthog would. ctguy1955@yahoo.com is my email if you happen to know of any sales on brand new TM Warthog Hotas systems. Thank You so much !!! My old X52 broke and I sold the new one they sent me and would never buy another madcatz product again.
  16. 16.8 upload with 100 peers and my DL is 3.1 kilobytes per sec. I have to wait the entire day to download the upgrade instead of flying. If You don't do the upgrade, the servers are blank. I hope I can get a choice in the near future ? *********** Just read I can hit cancel and use HTTP ****************
  17. Thank You Sithspawn, I tried searching for oil leaks in the dora forum before I posted on the forum. I was in a dog fight the first time, and I attributed it to getting hit, but the second time it happened, I was alone. I appreciate knowing its nothing I did wrong like failing to operate the cowls and overheated my engine.
  18. I have been flying the dora for awhile now, but the last two times I flew multiplayer, I started leaking oil and leaving a trail behind me. I have never messed with the radiator or anything but normal startup procedures, so I wonder what I am doing wrong running full throttle but no other things changed as back in time ? Has something changed with 1.5 ?? Thanks for any help with this ! Mike
  19. I am running two 4 gig GTX860's and DX12 allows me to double my video ram to 8 instead of 4. I will have to upgrade soon as i would like to get a VR setup soon.
  20. I know nothing about steam, but all PC's have to be 64 bit ? My win 10 with DX12 allows me to double my video ram, I sure like it !
  21. Thank You for Your Service. I am almost 61, but I tried on my uniform for the first time in 40 years and I was able to get into it. Its tight, but I was 149 pds then and 182 now. Thank You to ALL Veterans !!
  22. Thank You for the check list ! I watched a video of a real pilot starting up the L 39 and then tried to do it from memory. I seem to have done most things right but after removing the wheel chocks and having full power, I could not get the L39 to move forward, as if some brake was on ???? love flying it under bridges !!!
  23. Thank You for the info and help
  24. Thank You !!!
  25. I was away from my PC for awhile, and was not able to take off the correct way,in the Dora. I Bailed or just crash landed, but always had my crew repair me !!! I saw the Cross and thought it was a nice compliment for such an inept pilot ! LOL
