  1. Hi Mar, Thank you very much for confirming. I scanned the manual in case I was accidentally tripping some fail-safe on the drive, but could find nothing. Hopefully next week's patch will sort this one. Have a great day. Many thanks, Laobi
  2. Perhaps (More than likely) a user issue, however, during various take offs I have noticed that the gear failed to operate. On investigation I noticed that the CB for the Undercarriage Drive is mysteriously out, this is in spite of ensuring it was pushed in pre-taxi. After testing further I discovered that the Anton is doing some sort of sleight of hand on this one, I keep the panel open, release CB, push CB back in (just to ensure it's in), open the throttle, lift off, attempt to raise the gear, nothing...check the CB is in....look away...look back and CB is out...push it in and gear raises. I never see it move, but move it does. I'm hoping it's a bug as I don't know the first thing about performing an exorcism on my PC.
  3. I have a sneaking suspicion it is Cuba up to Ft.Lauderdale. Not sure if this has been mentioned, too lazy to go through the other entries. Would love denial or confirmation
  4. Hello everyone, Just a quick heads up for anyone using WMR (Samsung, Lenovo etc.,). Last week just after the update I noticed horrendous stutters when using VR. At first I blamed my PC as I had upgraded memory and a few other things, so I swore at my PC for a few hours frantically disconnecting and re-connecting peripherals, that achieved nothing. Then I realised there had just been an update, so I rolled back, same issue (pauses every 4 seconds, even in the menu), so I swore at Eagle Dynamics for a while, that also achieved nothing. I didn't want to submit a bug report without at least trying to identify the problem, so I searched the forums. Nothing I could find on the forums that exactly replicated my issue, so I swore at the forums....... Reddit.....Twitter, then Mrs. Laobi asked me some questions about something unrelated, so I swore at...... After realising that the couch was not as comfortable as I remembered I had a look at Task Manager and noticed that every so often Bit Defender (only installed a couple of days previously) peaked at 99% of processor usage (coincidentally every 4 seconds). I swore at it for a while, deleted it and voila! So, in conclusion it may be just rig specific, however, if you are using VR and have noticed intolerable regular pauses it may be worth uninstalling (pausing it didn't help) Bit Defender and re-testing. Cheers, Laobi
  5. Delighted you got it working. I have also found a solution for those encountering this particular issue. Download Skate Zilla's (peace and blessings be upon his name) Launcher GUI from here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=160053 Set your DCS and Save Games paths, run 'Update to Latest Release'. Then try DCS to see if it loads up. Then run 'Update to Latest Beta' and see if it works on your system. Worked great for me, hopefully anyone else encountering this issue will get some benefit from our experiences. Cheers, Laobi
  6. Hi guys, As it says on the title DCS is failing to start after the latest update. Initially it was briefly showing up in the task manager before promptly disappearing without a trace. After running the repair several times I am now getting a failed to launch message. Here is the log: Any help would be very much appreciated. Many thanks, Laobi
  7. My 2c on this would be to hold off a while before purchasing any hardware. Remember when Nevada launched? First day it was fine, an update later it was slower, over time it became more and more optimised until it was running like a dream. Normandy is going to be the same, there are so many variables with alpha releases and updates, it may run beautifully on one motherboard or chipset and terribly on another, it's through feedback that these things improve. As was said earlier, I really don't think the type of RAM matters that much, it's the quantity 16gb seems to be a nice sweet spot at the moment.
  8. I would love this as a flyable, there should be enough evidence available for production and I'm sure one of the replica owners would gladly share the all important technical details (as it's generally impossible to get talented people with that kind of passion to shut up about their particular project). As VEAO are doing the Meteor, having the first operational Axis jet fighter would be a dream, this is something DCS really needs.
  9. Great idea, this is one I've been hoping one of the devs would pick up
  10. Your reply was very helpful, thank you. I had thought of Steam, the only drawback there is anything that is just released takes some time to get there.
  11. Is it still possible to gift an un-used module? I was thinking of giving one to a friend, but am unsure if the module is account bound on purchase or installation. Not looking or willing to engage in any discussion about the merits or otherwise of key transfers as that stuff which has been thoroughly dealt with elsewhere. Just curious as to how it works now. Cheers
  12. Here's a potential work-around for the time being. We're all pretty much agreed you start with your outer pylons first. As 3 &4 are the outer pylons on the AA part of the selector a solution is quite simple using the HOTAS. Program your weapon release button to fire on press and go previous selector position on release, on takeoff set your selector to 4 and you're all set. Regarding the IR/SAR issue, bind it as any operation that's regularly used should be. It's not perfect, but it's a workaround until LN make a change if there is no reason not to.
  13. Hello, I presume others have experienced this one. Tracks seem to be erratic, on some aircraft and in some places they'll record perfectly, on others they're all over the place. Just curious if a fix is being worked on as tracks are a great learning tool and also provide great features for recording video. Cheers
  14. Thank you very much, Big! The Hawk is the one that really perked my interest in DCS (childhood airshows and all that), I've been following its development closely and have been really impressed with how it's all come together since the EFM breakthrough. I rarely post here, but as I don't use FB (Life Invader) I wanted to congratulate you guys for the update. It's great to see RAF aircraft taking their place in DCS and I have a feeling that the breakthroughs made on the Hawk are paving the way for a lot of interesting future projects. Well done again.
  15. Congratulations guys, those backlights are a thing of beauty. Been doing dawn flights for the last couple of hours, really impressed at the way the instruments look when lit. Cheers
