Every time I do a update, I lose everything, all the hours and medals earned. is there a way to recover that ?? Thanks and Clear Skies Mike _________________________________________________________________________________ Thanks to Juice from the Air Warfare Group, I learned that I was losing everything because every time I updated My Nvidia drivers I was not allowing it to just update, I went in and changed settings here and there. Thanks to Juice, that problem is gone.

Been practicing landing tail draggers for over 5 years now in DCS. I still bounce, but never die anymore, I just wreck the prop or a Arm & wheel. I was lucky to find someone kind who had Me visit His private server and while He sat in a plane behind Me, He watched My takeoff and told Me 5 percent right rudder !! I have not taken off in the Dora in a long time, but I made it into the air with no AI help stuff, and it was fun to fly. I have both the 51 and 47 ( heck, I have all the WWII planes available ) and end up using the 51 because of speed. 8 50 cal's are better then 6 when inside an iron tub. try taking a 47 down low with 2 i-6 Russian Planes. Even on ROOKIE setting the 2 of them gang up on You !!! Newest version of OB has lowered my FPS by half of what I was getting with 32235 version. Lots of DCS Crashes ( its ok, its OB and I send em my reports ) i912900K (71 percent OC and water cooled) attached to evga rtx 2080Ti Black Edition that I no longer need to OC using X1 software. ROG Strix Z690-E 5200 speed Corsair ram 64gigs what a difference with new clouds and it keeps getting better and better ! Now if only the F4U Corsair would make its presence asap... Clear Skies Mike

Because of the new lighting and other new features, I was not able to update from 32235 to 33006 and I figured it was because all of the planes, ships, tanks and Maps needed all new features. I ended up installing the new version and now am spending 3 days just downloading maps and jets and planes and I could not just copy and paste older 32235 mods and have them still work.

With the Corsair coming soon, I would have to go with the Zero, if I had to pick from the list. I would like to dive bomb ships with the Douglas SBD Dauntless be voted on in the "Other" list. Clear Skies Mike

Thanks for sharing this !

Thought I was going crazy...... Sure need that active pause working, Please

I have not flown to the Cement Factory for a long time now. I found it awhile back, 2.7 release and its a great place to have some fun

Seria has two cooling towers, I saw them on one of Juice's flights Well this is from 2021 and a LOT sure has changed sense then.

Thanks, I hope to be able to get the Saved Games area to work like it used to for Me before My new PC build

I have a brand New PC build and what a difference running a i9-12900K is with 5200 speed 64G of Ram and water cooled CPU and EVGA RTX 2080Ti compared to my old setup i7-4790K is ! So much to learn now as the bios now has so much more info then last 5 year old build. I am not able to update to Win 11 Pro as it says I have a security problem. My new rig was build for Win11 Pro and I need it to install. When I go into DCS, I have to redo all settings on every plane or jet each time I fly and shut down the PC. All Curves and settings are lost each new startup. I cannot get the GUI Updater to find saved game area as well now. Never had problems like this, This is My 6th PC build and I never had problems before this new PC. Thanks for any help and sorry if I posted this here instead of a new message as the people here know what they are doing and I am lost. The new Bronco is what I have tried so hard to place into saved games to get it to work and it just does not for Me. Clear Skies Mike

I appreciate the advice, to Rudel_chw, This only happens when DCS has a major 2.7 update. I have tried to export the settings, but it did not seem to work for Me. I must be doing something wrong. I found this on the forums: "I did solve a great deal of that by rebuilding DCS’ shaders. Deleting the ‘fxo’ and ‘metashaders2’ folders is a common performance increasing method when jumping between updates and that did solve a number of issues with performance but it didn’t fully alleviate them." I was able to find the FXO file and deleted it and it seemed to help, I could not find metashaders but I messed with them in the past and learned not to. Thanks so much for all Your help Clear Skies Mike

My PC has a messed up motherboard and strange things happen. When I update DCS, I have to completely re set up everything in DCS. All My planes and jets have to have pedal/stick/throttle commands redone. all curves on Axis tune panel and so many other things are lost. The hours I spend flying and gaining experience, and the rewards of medals are gone. Can someone please tell Me what I can save that will prevent this from happening all the time now ? Thank You and Clear Skies Mike nullnullnull

I guessed it right !!! As soon as the Open Beta updated, the South Atlantic Map was available for Download.

I have 14 minutes left to download the newest 2.7.1.4 update, and then I hope when I go into Module manager I can download the South Atlantic Map. " it may take a few minutes " Must be so busy with everyone buying this wonderful map !!! Now all I need is the F4U Corsair and I will be in Heaven !! Clear Skies Mike

I cannot even get my DCS Saved Games area to work in Updater GUI utility, and Ive been using it for a while and never had a problem like this. I have copied so many LUA files and messed with things that I finally did a clean up and the Mustang now flys when I try to use it in a mission, instead the A-10 II always loaded. Every time I want to fly, I have to reset whatever plane I am flying. It remembers some settings sometimes, but its very frustrating.

After watching many WWII movies, I now wish to have the following WWII Planes: 1. Grumman F6FHellCat 2. Douglas SBD Dauntless 3. Lockheed P-38 Lightning [ although the Northrop P-61 Black Widow, sure is nice too ] Thank You for Your consideration Clear Skies Mike ************************************************* OLD WISH **************************************************************** I enjoyed reading the newest update and look forward to checking out automatic F18 carrier landings. Just to watch for awhile and learn. The Fountain having water would look really immersive and be FUN as well. I personally am waiting for the North Atlantic Map and the F4U Corsair. They have both been on My wish list for a long time. Clear Skies Mike

I sure wish I could get it to work as things with taking off and hovering with the joystick I am using is not much fun. DCS saves some things and not others and profiles wont load. I found spudknockers and another xml file and I do not know where to put them. I do a search for *.XML and only one file comes up on the open beta DCSW SSD.

Well I have found the TDAC Left Hand Grip UP after reading things here after I posted the above. Thanks for mentioning the pilot and co pilot and it was right there all along YEA Thanks

I just watched Mat Wagners tutorial and at 20;37 He talks about the action Switches I thank You so much

Thank You for getting back to Me so fast, I appreciate it !!!!

There is a vid on Youtube where the guy says to use Full Screen in options, and hit Alt plus Enter and You will jump from 30FPS to a higher amount. Hope this helps with VR

Left alt J works fine for Me. Took me 18 hours to DL the Last Update and then another hour and a half to DL the Apache.

Sorry I cant help, I am struggling with Control Options. The APACHE gun has Weapons Action Switch g/Up M/right and other commands and I set them up but none work to get past Mat Wagner's tutorial and the UP thing You need to do is not listed as the G/Up certainly is not the one. I bet future updates in the tutorial will show the button to press. Try looking up Was UP No Go... I hope We both get things working soon. Clear Skies Mike

If You go to Marks Marketplace and ABOUT, You can read how You order things and they arrive DOA after the 30 day warranty is up. https://www.newegg.com/Seller-Store/Mark-s-Marketplace/about https://www.usps.com/help/claims.htm?tab=echo

This guy does a great job of explaining everything. Blue smoke is NOT what You were suppose to look for according to the video
