In the 1.5 Open Beta you can enable the fancy clouds by going into and edit the .lua file- *Install Directory\DCS World OpenBeta\Config\Effects\clouds.lua On the 3rd line where it reads, "enabled" change it from false to true. It was still pretty much work in progress, but those shadows on the water looked damn nice. I don't know if this is available in 2.0, but it will be interesting to know if it can be enabled and what difference it makes.

This is true in a sense. DCS does take a lot of commitment even more so in a family setup. The end result is worth it though and you really get a true sense of accomplishment. Before you do anything, spend time to get your joystick setup with the basics. Flying controls, engine start/stop, canopy, gear, flaps, countermeasures, drogue chute, brakes, radio. Don't worry too much about the more advanced systems just yet. When I started with Lock-On, I set myself a small goal each time I played, and that way I progressed in small ways. And have fun :thumbup: Don't pressure yourself too much in the beginning. Choose a plane and stick with it for a while. Don't be afraid to ask the community. I can recommend the following videos-

Fibonacci is your friend.

PffffHahahahahaha. Nice!

I only found a train once, and I just couldn't help but to harass it.

My entry attached.

I noticed a definite improvement in spotting other aircraft. Now I can modify my labels accordingly.

I'm going to enjoy this!

In the same vein, SAAF Museum Shackleton, Cape Town South Africa. ${1}

Cool video, bringing back a lot of good memories. I still play Flanker on my PIII every now and again.

Thank you for this, easy to understand. *The spelling for Procedure.

Yes, Everytime.

Cool video!

I'll take any 'Vlamgat' 1. b 2. b 3. c 4. a How about both Mirage F1AZ and F1CZ.

One of my favourite modules. I still struggle with landing in confined spaces.

I would love a Hercules module, or even a Shackelton.

Change your computer date to the previous day, and then launch DCS. I had a similar issue once, and I changed the computer date. When I launched DCS the updater started automatically.

Just the other day I thought to myself how great it would be if I could fly a Cessna 172 in DCS.

The only thing I'm expecting are 4G inverted dives with Mig 28's.

Magnificent guide. Thank you.

A different approach could also be to use a Label Mod. My labels.lua file is changed so that it shows me a small mark for ground units that are 5km away, and once I get closer to the target, the mark goes away. It helps in the sense that I can keep track of where the target is in general, but I still have to visually acquire when I get closer.

I had The Dam Busters on a floppy for my XT. Looking at the video now it all seems so easy, but back then this game was hard. ${1} Later I sunk many hours into LHX and Red Baron. ${1} Do you remember a game called Sopwith on DOS?

I'm glad I found this thread. Although it is quite old, it gave me a better understanding of managing the Mustang's engine. I took note of the "Go *easy* on the throttle." I've been way to aggressive with the throttle which would cause the engine to seize.

Here is the previous thread, though no indication as to when it will be fixed. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=139941
