Hey, I have both the F-18 and the F-16 which I purchased 3 days ago. I bought the F-16 because I wanted a pure dog fighter, whilst I am getting better it doesn't run rings around the opposition. The F-18 is fantastic, you can do so much, I would recommend the F-18 without hesitation.

Tried to repair DCS and got the following error 00000.022 --- Log file: E:\DCS World\autoupdate_log.txt 00000.000 === Log opened UTC 2019-10-16 08:38:50 00000.006 INFO : DCS_Updater/2.9.8.81 (Windows NT 6.1.7601; Win64; fr-FR) 00000.006 INFO : cmdline: "E:\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" --apply repair 00000.007 STATUS: Initializing... 00000.008 INFO : basedir: E:\DCS World 00000.023 INFO : DCS/2.5.5.35461 (x86_64; EN; WORLD,FA-18C,PERSIANGULF_terrain,NEVADA_terrain,P-51D,MIG-29,F-5E,RAZBAM_M-2000C) 00000.023 INFO : branch: 00000.023 STATUS: Connecting to update servers... 00000.399 INFO : Got reply from http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com 00000.551 INFO : Got reply from srv12update.digitalcombatsimulator.com 00000.552 STATUS: Verifying cached version info... 00001.313 STATUS: Verifying installed files... 00011.779 INFO : 0 files are changed or missing. 00013.392 STATUS: Preparing download... 00013.394 INFO : To download: 0 bytes in 0 files 00013.394 STATUS: Searching for already downloaded files... 00013.395 INFO : Found 0 local source(s). 00013.395 INFO : To download: 0 bytes in 0 files 00013.439 STATUS: Removing obsolete files... 00013.531 INFO : Removed 0 files. 00013.901 INFO : Kept 42029 files. 00013.901 INFO : Nothing to install. 00013.930 STATUS: Installing runtimes... 00022.251 INFO : distr/vc_redist.x64.exe succeeded with code 0 00022.456 STATUS: Cleaning up... 00022.850 STATUS: Successfully repaired version 2.5.5.35461 00000.000 === Log opened UTC 2019-10-16 09:52:23 00000.006 INFO : DCS_Updater/2.9.8.81 (Windows NT 6.1.7601; Win64; fr-FR) 00000.006 INFO : cmdline: "E:\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" --apply repair 00000.007 STATUS: Initializing... 00000.187 INFO : basedir: E:\DCS World 00000.192 ERROR: Can't parse config: JSON error: parse error: premature EOF (right here) ------^ 00000.192 INFO : Config contents: --- BEGIN --- 00000.192 INFO : Config contents: --- END --- 00000.192 ERROR: JSON error: parse error: premature EOF (right here) ------^ 00013.336 === Log closed.

Kneeboard wows So I downloaded version 1.8.0.3, unzipped it and ran the exacutabe, nothing happened. Downloaded version 1.7.1.1, did thesame procedure and nothing happed. Oh well .... decided to play DCS without the Kneeboard Builder. Now DCS opens in a small window which after 30 seconds becomes black and nothing happens ..... Any advice :( Win 7 Pro 64 bit

Thanks for the responses, I thought that I was going nuts :thumbup:

When I try to updat DCS it tells me that "The installed version 2.5.3.24984 is up to date" ?

Could it be the verison of the DCS or Module, I bought and downloaded it about a month ago ? I'll try an update.

So in the mission editor I've selected the "GBU-12" and it shows up on the MFD as "82LG". I believe that that is correct.

Hi Folks, I've been trying to use the GBU12 however, when in the stores page of the MFD I can select "82LG" but on the left hand side of the MFD I only get the following options "Mode", "Mfuz" and "Efuz" but no "Code". I've watched numerous videos and I cannot see what I've missed, how do I get the "code" to appear in the bottom left hand side of the MFD ? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks for the info. I'll read through it during the next couple of days. From what I've read so far, the problem with the refresh rate is less important with flight sims than FPS and I have to confess that a large TV would kill two birds with one stone (I'd like to change my 32" TV for something bigger). That said I want to be sure of the cockpit picture quality before bitting the bullet.

Thanks for the imput, yes a touch screen would be nice for the MDF's, didn't even think of that but should I combine it with a biggish TV or stick with a 27 - 32" monitor ?

Thankyou for the response, I was hoping for at least 1080p, with an Ilyama G-Master GB2730QSU-B1. However, since reading a number of posts I understand that bigger is always better so maybe I should look for a 32". No I'm not obsessed with FPS I currently have a gtx 670. The 8" monitors sounds good I'd like to get the MFD's on them for the F-18.

Hi Folks, Just getting back into DCS after a couple of years absence. I've just purchased a GTX 1070 Ti Gaming graphics card and I have a i7 (3.4 ghz) processor and 16 go ram. I also have a 22" Samsung monitor which I would like to upgrade ...... VR or Monitor or TV. I could possibly use my existing monitor for guages etc. and a larger TV or monitor for external views ? Now I'm not overly difficult about the external eye candy however, I do like a good looking cockpit. As mentioned in the title I'm on a budget so 200€ to 400€. Anyway a little advise with possible some product reference would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance

OK got it ! I didn't realise that "Both" and "ADF" were separate positions, duh Thanks mate !

Hi Folks, Wonder whether someone can give me a hand, I want to create ADF beacons for navigation purposes on the Nevada map. To test this in the mission editor I've added a UH-1H with advanced waypoint actions : 1) Preform Command > Set frequency > 353.7 mhz > AM 2) Preform Command > Transmit message > Select sound file (morse code "353.7" which I created) > Loop So I have set the radio (in the F-5e), to "Both ADF", set the frequency mode to "Manual", the Nav Mode to "DF" and entered "353.7" mhz. I can hear the morse code received from the UH-1H however, the needle on the HSI just points East. Thank you for any advice

Thanks for your replies guys, I think that possibly the GTX1060 with need too much power (I only have 330w (to be verified)). With respect to the power brick it is an external power source however, there may be a bottle neck when it is received in the PC, I'll have to look into that. I currently have 2 go of Graphics card Ram and, if I understand correctly 4 go will be better and if possible 8 go would be great. I'll have to look into which cards would fit into my tiny PC and again the possible power problem. I currently also have graphics card driver problems, my screen goes black briefly and I get a little box to tell me that "Display driver Nvidia Windows Kernel Mode driver has stopped responding". Something I hope would disappear if I change GPU. I've been trying all sorts of fixes to date to little avail. Anyway, thank you again for your suggestions, have fun !
