  1. BitMaster. Many thanks for this informative guide. I've read a few forum posts on this subject but none are as clear as this, a great help to inexperienced/casual users such as me, should be a sticky . Thank-you.
  2. I'm about to embark on a new PC build and would appreciate some advice as how to go about backing up and restoring my DCS installation (about 125Gb at the moment). I have a spare 1Tb hard drive which I will use as a temporary location for the backup, along with my FSX, X-Plane 11 and Aerofly FS2 backups. Am I correct in thinking that before I backup I should go into the individual aircraft, terrain and campaign folders and run the respective protect.exe files? I also note that in the root DCS\bin folder there is a DCS_protect.exe, should that too be run? I assume that once all that has been done it will be safe to copy the folder, along with the saved games folder to the temp HD? When I exit the game before backing up does it matter whether the game is in online or offline mode? If I were to uninstall the modules using the DCS Updater/Launcher would that run the respective protect.exe files? It's the re-installation process that I'm not sure how to do so I would appreciate it if someone could walk me through that process. Many thanks.
  3. Thanks for the replies guys, continuing the download now, at the fantastic speed of 1.3MB/s! Think I'll go on holiday while it's downloading.
  4. While updating to the latest stable version I cancelled the download because the download speed was so pathetic (0.7MB/sec) and was promptly presented with this message; "Authorization has expired. Multiplayer will not be available. The following DLCs are not authorized and will be disabled." Then follows a list of all my 14 modules. All these modules have been correctly purchased over several years from the DCS shop, please check my account What have you/I done to arrive at this situation? I have on previous occasions done exactly the same when download speeds have been slow but never with these consequences.
  5. Hi, Finally got it! However the folder path you you gave me wasn't quite right, that just took me back to the folder full of 'Push etc' missions. I just wasn't going back far enough in the folder structure, if only I'd bothered to read Sabre's original post carefully enough! Thanks for your help.
  6. Maybe these screenshots will help, as you can see from the 1st the mission files are in the folder \...\Mods\Campaign\A-10C - Basic Flight Training Qualification\ but they do not appear in the in-game menu as shown in the 2nd and 3rd pics. Thanks
  7. Thanks for reply. Yes they are there, I knew they were, I didn't make myself clear, I wanted to know why they weren't showing in the in-game menu as described by Sabre in the above post. Can they be manually be moved into \...\mods\aircraft\A-10c\missions\EN\campaigns where presumably they will then show up in the in-game menu? Thanks,
  8. BFT Missions missing? Hi, I purchased the A10 BFT last month (August) from the ED store and installed it with the Module Manager, however I don't see any of the missions as depicted in the 3rd screenshot of the post above, all I have is a series of missions labelled CA-Push or Push. Peter.
  9. Many thanks for your replies, most helpful. Interestingly I received an email from TM this morning quoting 27.2 Euros (inc p&p) for a replacement.
  10. Hi, Can someone please help me? I recently bought a S/H Thrustmaster Hotas Warthog but due to poor packing and rough handling in transit the pinky switch has broken. Is the switch a generic type which can be readily acquired here in the UK or is it specific to the device, if it is a common type what type would that be? on-off-on for example? It does say on the switch '3a 250v 6a 125v', but obviously those currents are not going through it. I've tried emailing Thrustmaster several times but all I get from them is 'an agent will get in touch shortly', useless. Many thanks in advance for any help. Peter
