  1. Thanks for your replies. It's not that important as I never spend a lot of time on the runway anyway... It just struck me so I thought I'd ask here as there are people with first-hand experience on this forum.
  2. Hi all! Whenever I take off in Nevada or the Persion Gulf in bright daylight, I see a light cone on the ground in front of my viper's nose. I understand that these lights are really bright, but can they overpower the sun in the Persian Gulf at noon? Is that realistic?
  3. Just found out by myself that it's actually ctrl + right MB :)
  4. Hi all, for some reason holding the right mouse button and moving the mouse to pan the ME map around doesn't work for me. Is there a setting I forgot? This works in the F10 map though, just not in the ME. :( Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  5. Hello, I installed DCS world yesterday and everything worked fine, I launched it maybe 2 or 3 times. Now when I launched it this morning, the error attached message pops up after double clicking on the DCS world icon, right after the launcher.exe window appears. I did not change anything in my system. I would really appreciate any help! Thanks in advance :)
  6. GGTharos, you were right. I picked the Su-25TM/Su-39 in the editor thinking it was the normal Su-25. It was my fault, this happens if I don't play FC for years :P
  7. f15 radar shows su25 as su39? Hi, I just made a quick mission in the editor to hunt down some su-25 with my eagle. My radar shows the su-25 as a su-39, as shown in the screen shot I attached. Is this a bug or a feature ? Maybe it's a new kind of ECM that can make a su-25 appear as a different aircraft? :) He should have chosen to appear as a SU-27 on my radar while still BVR, maybe this would have scared me :P
  8. Just found it out by myself :P Darn, I wasted hours on this, while it is actually so easy. I really need a beer now...
  9. Hello, I installed FC2 this morning and haven't had a chance to fly it yet. The reason: I've been desperately trying to assign buttons and joystick axes in-game, without much success. There are like 30 axes to choose from in the menu, and it is impossible to tell which axis belongs to which slider or rotary button on my x45, as they are all called joy_XXX. In LOMAC and FC1, the axes were more or less self-explanatory, at least they were named sliderXX and rotaryXX of I remember correctly. I haven't found out yet which of them corresponds to the big rotary button next to my thumb on the x45 throttle, for example. I'd love to assign the zoom view function to it. Has anyone found a quick and painless way to assign this stuff ? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  10. I couldn't wait... Just downloading FC2 :) It's been a while and I cannot wait to try it again. I don't miss a clickable cockpit at all. For me clicking on all the buttons with a mouse while in an air to air engagement would lead me to quick and certain death :P I'd rather assign all important functions to my hotas system anyway.
  11. Yes, finger mashing is also OK as long as one doesn't care too much how the result looks like !
  12. Thanks guys :) You saved me, I just don't know why numlock is not mentioned on the key card, but anyway that doesn't matter anymore now. I will try it out right away !!
  13. Hi, I am having problems with the padlock function in FC: 1) after padlocking a target I cannot cancel the padlock view and return to the normal centered cockpit view. Acc. to the key card the "5" key on the num. key pad is supposed to do just that, but it does not... Other keys like F1 do not work either. Have I missed something ? The manual does not address this sufficiently either. So if I do not destroy the target currently padlocked, no chance of returning to center view. 2) With the A10 I just tried the padlock view as well, while being close to the ground, and it padlocked some random spot on the ground (no vehicle or whatever)... Again, unable to change back to center view. Has anyone of you experienced this ? Maybe I should have posted this in the bugs forum ?
  14. I solved the problem. Using "process monitor" I tracked down the files that lockon wanted to access while not being allowed to (due to the restricted rights). I thought I had granted full access to the LOCKON directory to the user group, but apparently a few files had been left out. But nothing impossible to fix ;) Anyway it works like a charm now, no more "run as" and entering passwords...
  15. Thanks for pointing this out, I haven't even thought of their tool before :) I just tried this out, and the starforce issue is definitely solved now. However, getting FC to run w/o admin rights is actually the harder part. I thought it would be the opposite... After clicking on the icon I see an error message "abnormal program termination". Maybe I'll find a workaround myself, maybe not. I just wish it ran without admin rights by default !! (hint, just in case a developer reads this...) Anyway, thanks again ! :)
  16. Hi there ! While I am not completely new to LOMAC, I just recently rediscovered it, purchased FC and now I am pretty happy. There is just one issue that bugs me: I run windows xp on my home PC, with an admin account to install stuff etc., and a restricted user account for the internet and all the rest, including games. I installed FC with the admin account, let starforce activate the software and everything was fine. Now when I want to launch FC with my restricted every day account, and the starforce activation screen appears again. Apparently this means that teh starforce activation is valid for one user account only, and not for the entire machine including all user accounts ? This is bad, as I do not want to activate it a second time, thus losing one of the 4 remaining activations... Now I usually launch FC via "run as" by chosing the account FC was installed with, and entering the password. While I'd do anything to play FC, with time it does get a little annoying. With any other software which cannot be launched without admin rights, it is usually sufficient to grant write access to the relevfant directories on the hdd. In this case, however, starforce is likely to make this easy solution impossible... Does anyone know of a workaround, allowing me to launch FC in a restricted account without all the hassle ? Or is a reactivation unavoidable ? Thanks for your help! velniux
