how does one roll back to hotfix 2? is that possible?

Ahah! Thanks Sokol! Looks like I'm on my way.

Those who have the DFGT know that they're not USB, does anyone use them in DCS as rudder pedals? If so, how? I'm desperate to use rudder in the proper way, but I can't come off the cash to throw down on a good set. Can I make this work? Thanks!

For the sake of others like myself, may I suggest that Bunyap's videos be linked to the front page? They're terribly helpful and it took me a week to find them!

These are the best videos I've come across, something about his style makes it easy to pick up for me. Too bad there's no more! Quick update... I just got home from work, and with the help I got from these forums, I was able to do pretty darn well! I was setting SPI's, changing SOI's, flipping waypoints, blowing things up with Mavs, guns, and rockets, slewing, and zooming!!! For the first time, I felt like I had a little bit of an idea what was going on! That was fun!

Wow.. awesome. Lots of reps coming inbound to all this help!

Thanks a lot for all the advice and suggestions, I really feel like I'm making headway this time! Please feel free to post more tips for learning this thing, but again, I appreciate you all!

Thanks very much. I think this is good advice. I just did the guns/rocket training and I was able to blow everything up, go back to base and land without breaking anything. Not too bad! I was changing steerpoints like a champ and everything! I have no idea how to do ILS landing or mess with the CPU, but I have a pretty good eye when it comes to glideslopes. I'll need to learn how to use the ILS in case the weather is crappy, but I'll burn that bridge when I get to it! Is there a good target range mission you know of? I'd like to learn how to use the mavericks, and get decent with the TGP without that dude yelling at me the whole time! Thanks!

I'm OK with setting SPIs and have a cursory knowledge of the MFDs. I'm about to do the the gun training and perhaps the maverick. What is the first mission I should do to get my feet wet? I don't want to be overwhelmed, but I want to keep on learning.

You have to ask the Mig nicely if it would like to turn. You can't just jam the stick. A of A is important.

Agreed that it's low priority, but I would love it too.

Yup. At the release of 1.5 I restored my control panel to default settings and jacked everything up in game. I'm stutter free with vsync.

Confirmed, I didn't know there was a hot fix because I have that updater bug, but the tad works now.

I'm seeing this too.

Well hell.... There it is! Thanks a lot!

Hey Guys, With the release of 1.5, I'm celebrating by redoubling my efforts to learn the A-10C again. After much search, I remember that Iron's X-52 profile was the one I was most comfortable with, but I can't find the picture that shows what keys are mapped to the stick. The throttle mapping image is still available but the stick has gone down. Does anyone have an image of it that they can share with me? There's no way I can learn this thing without having a big ol' legend right in front of me explaining what each button does! Thanks a lot! P.S. Anyone have any tips on what they did to get halfway proficient with this thing? I've tried this once before and thrown my hands up in frustration. I'm really committed this time though, I'd like a lesson plan if anyone has one!! Thanks!

We just got... Oh forget it.

Yes, I need them... don't judge me!

It's not in x86 program files, it's in program files bin

I load up a simple mission, starting with my Mig 21 at Batumi. Everything goes fine, then I crash to desktop.

I was told to copy and paste my SAVED GAMES input folder from my stable version to my open beta folder. I did it before I updated though, not sure if it worked! It worked great before this update, not sure if everything will be there.

Nobody that I've seen is 'demanding' anything. People are excited because the lead dev said they were getting ready to send 1.5 out very soon. I understand preaching patience, but getting snippy and calling people 'lazy' doesn't help either. Let people crush f5 and share in their exuberance, it doesn't hurt you a bit.
