And I thought the first key changing policy was the last, so I had no time on reading steam texts observation as they are mostly marketing and not useful information like this. I'm very fond of ED, I've been using their products since Lock On. The fault is on my end. I'll probably buy the mirage twice. I can't take the software serious being on steam; later updates, unable to chose not to update etc...

Steam refund would only get me steam wallet money by the method I've chosen. Thank you for your input, I may do that.

[sOLVED] - From DCSMirage steam release onward steam and e-shop are totally separated. I've been in stand alone since forever and never had to bother with steam. I noted that steam purchased modules can work on e-shop versions on DCS via copying the keys and what not. Last night I jumped the gun and purchased the Mirage 2000 through steam as I was waiting for very long to have. There's a small note on the DCS: Mirage on discussions that I have not read before this morning ofc: Please note that the DCS: M-2000C, and all future DCS World DLC releases on Steam, will now use Steam Keys instead of Starforce keys. As such, these purchases cannot be activated on the DCS World e-Shop version. " So I'll need to have 3 DCS versions on my computer and currently not be able to fly the Mirage over Nevada, or having only steam version to be with all my modules? I knew on the STEAM > E-SHOP (OK), E-SHOP > STEAM (NOT OK) but not: "this module won't have a key anymore" thing.

Long time MS Flight Simulator enthusiast here ( since 98 ). The thing is.... DCS lacks the whole globe "thingy" to explore/use, that's one of the main appeal on FSX or similar to newcomers. We have navigating + combat in a single flight with an amazing set of aircraft already and growing in a exciting direction. Making a branch of products for only navigating and sightseeing without a complete continent available or a continent to make travel unique and demanding is pointless. 'MS Flight' comes to mind. I can see some fast trips with a single prop engine in a map as caucasus but the meat on those flight sims is the world scope, especially for freighter jets or commercial airliners. Finally, for commercial jets, you'll be head to head with competent companies that already delivers 100% fully functional aircraft and a community already engaged with tons of paid addons in their games. If ever that goes according to plan, a big chunk of our DCS pilots would like 1 military ac over 5 civil only ac anyway. Maybe similar cents were tossed before, but there's mine.

Any ETA on steam launch? :cry:

670 GTX here and huge problems with fps after hotfix 3. :\ @theropod, yeah, maybe I'm having the same as you. CPU and GPU load averaging lower than 70% i5 4590, 8gb ram Attatchment green for GPU load, blue green ish for CPU load. Tested whole computer after throttling. No throttling on GPU neither on CPU. All other games fine. Problem started after hotfix 3.

I've made a quick music video displaying both free AC; Su-25T and TF-51D in action under the DCS simulation world, for people who recently discovered the series or curious virtual pilots with an intend to test the sim out before adventuring into the shop. [maybe something with more depth in the future] good flying all :pilotfly:

Executing Updater shortcut or .exe doesn't work on WinX or Win 8.1 as I've tried in the past. It's not the matter of not knowing where to look for it. Some people just need that help if they are not aware of it, especially newcomers.

Nope, and probably you wouldn't even notice if you take 4gb off either from your 12gb.

I had 4gb system ram and 2gb vram more than a year ago, multiplayer was stutter hell. 8Gb system ram and 2gb vram, mostly fine in 1.5 or 1.2. 4gb vram with 4gb system ram should be fine... actually might be better than my setup with 8gb system and 2gb vram. Boy, do I regret buying a 2gb version gpu...

If normal starting up of Open Beta 1.5 doesn't update right away or some sort of thing. Here it is how to manually update. Read it carefully. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 Please note: *(The Information in this Guide Does Not Apply to STEAM)*

Sad to hear. I just did testing on stable 1.2.16, the AI do back taxiing at Beslam to take off. Wind at 10 m/s from 310 heading they still take off from runway 31 at Batumi. AI: pairs of A-10As

When you press ESC in a Single Player scenario, click briefing and press the back button under the briefing information you are met with a "Choice Role" menu and from then on you can't go back to control your aircraft as it is controlled by AI, from then on. No matter what you click too, you don't comeback at your plane controls. Selecting the aircraft at the 4th screen and hitting start also won't help. Happened to me in the MiG-21 Campaign and in a test with an A-10A from editor.

(pre 1.5, I didn't test it after it) They actually do back taxiing at Beslam Airfield, which is very small. Can be the case with the AI being unable of doing so in this airfield in particular or Beslam being the only one privileged.

Cheese! Everybody say: CHEESE!

Fixed it! TY! :thumbup:

A part of my share of work that praises this simulator and the great work behind it. Thank you everyone involved on making the dream of flight a reality.

That was an amazing video. Thank you for sharing it!

When you're controlling the yellow cross to interact with the cockpits the tool tips appear as usual. When you switch to mouse view mode the yellow cross disappears but as you move your view, any cockpit button that crosses first the last screen point the yellow cross were you get a tool tip appearing for that particular button/swtich. The tool tip only disappears when you switch back to cockpit mouse interaction mode and then mouse look mode. It was not like this before 1.5.

+1 Same here in multiplayer.

Mine open beta 1.5 the Su-27, MiG-21 bis and the MiG-29 (AI Controled) have the exhaust plume effect enabled. I can confirm the F-15C lacking the effect.

Omg, all those screenshots, they are so beautifull, keep them coming! :O

I'm currently working on a 1.5 video and frequently I found myself amazed on how great the graphics now looks. ED, you guys are awesome, and everyone else involved. No color editing or anything else. Stock 1.5...
