Impressive. Yes I would agree about ordering now - I preordered at the end of Jan, just got an email saying delivery mid to end of July.

I would imagine as 2.0 is associated with the Nevada terrain, so calling this 2.5 "should" alleviate any confusion between the two.

Thats odd, I have TIR and a Hog HOTAS, I can zoom in using TIR ( but don't use it that much TBH ) I prefer to use keys on my joystick which are mapped to Zoom in Slow/ Zoom Out Slow. Works without any issues for me.

Yes, happened to me for the first time yesterday. Came out to the main menu and sound resumed. Next time I loaded a mission all was fine again. ( Just been playing the training missions ) BTW is the voice-over missing from some of the training?

I have a hog throttle so was using that for er...throttle. :D The reason I wanted to use the Saitek is it more closley resembles the controls on the sabre, as it has a lever for flaps rather than a switch. Unfortunatley although the banding assignment worked, for what ever reason the movement of the axis levers kept freezing the controls in game unless the levers were kept in a neutral position, no idea why that would be. So at the moment I have reverted back to the Hog as the main controller for everything, which is a shame as I quite liked using the levers.

EDIT - I think I have sorted it out by using the Saitek Control Software and assigning the Axis as bands. ( Should anyone else be wondering.... ) Hey all, Hopefully a simple solution but its beat me! I want to use my quadrant levers ( 3 x axis controllers ) as switches in order to have them activaye 2 of the flight controls - flaps ( up/down ) and emergency air brake lever in the F86 Sabre. My problem is that as they are axis controls so I can not assign them to switch controls. Hope this makes sense, can anyone help? Thanks! P.S Im running win 10 and have updated the drivers so the quadrant is calibrated and working OK.

Hey guys. I have just started flying the Sabre - really just going through the tutorials, so very green! Is there much of an on line community for the Sabre? I would like to have a go at some online missions at some point, but feel I should be considerably more proficient with the aircraft before venturing online, but would like to try it further down the line.

Yep, in fact I could only get 1.5 running in win10. I previously had win 7 64 and it wouldn't load any missions just kept crashing.

Like a voice in the wilderness... Hawk, pretty please!!!

Got mine on Friday ( sorry for the delay in posting this! ) They are superb! Worth the wait!

Serial No : 1172 Location : North Yorkshire, UK.

Having read the other thread about 1.5 freezing, I tried installing Win10. This has solved the problem and now all missions are loading correctly again! I would have preferred not to use Win 10 at this early stage but will see how compatibility with other games goes.

I had originally posted this in the thread about the Fury X gfx card, having read some of the posts on here, it would seem others with Fury's have the same issue with the game hanging at the point of loading a mission. ( Running on Win7 64 ) Having seen others mention loading Windows 10 solved their issue, I gave it a try and am pleased to say this has solved the mission loading hang for me! Hope this helps! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------–-------------- I have the same issue with the Fury ( At least I think I have, google translate not withstanding... ) I have been playing the Beta without issue on my old GFX card ( Ati R9 290 ), I have just installed a new gfx card ( Ati Asus Radeon Fury Strix DC3 4096 HBM ). The game opens to menu OK, it is only upon the loading of a mission that the computer hangs. The load always gets to about 75% but goes no further. Alt tabbing out just gets the windows "swirl" and then says "computer not responding". I have tried this on the Hawk module and standard SU25 and with various mission. Each time exactly the same load ( 75% ) but no further. I have uninstalled the beta, deleted the folder, re booted PC and reinstalled. Same hang on mission load each time. No mods now loaded ( just SU25) still same issue. I have tried gfx drivers as follows - 15.7.1 and 15.10 Beta. DCS 1.2.16 loads missions with out any issues. PC system - Win 7 home premium 64 bit, Intel core i7-3820 CPU @ 3.6GHz - 16Gig RAM - DX11.

Hi all, I placed my order at the start of July. I received a notification on the 6th Oct saying that they were ready to ship and a courier tracking number on the 9th saying awaiting collection by the courier ( though it still says that on the tracking companies website??? ) I did send a quick chaser to Milan on the 5th when I hadn't heard anything and he sent an email straight back saying they would be ready soon. ( Sooner than I thought, as it was the next day that he emailed saying they were ready. ) Hopefully yours wont be much longer!

yep, that's the one I tried, as suggested, I will start a ticket. Thanks all for the help. :) Cheers EDIT - Got it sorted, apparently I had bought A10 with another profile ( didn't realise I had more than 1 lol ) now all is good in the universe. Very quick turn round by customer services, thank you!

Sorry, that's what I meant. ( I followed the link given on the product page to the eShop/Nevada page) On that page it shows details of the product and a price and option to add as a Pre purchase, No serial number. I am logged into my account and it's the same account that when I put the A10 serial number in, it shows the details of my purchase back in 2010. Should I contact customer services?

Houston we have a problem! Just checked my product page and it doesn't show any SN. ( I bought the game 04-10-2010 ). Should everyone have one there by now or should I just wait a bit?

Sorry can't help with your question, just wanted to say that this may be the best forum title I have ever seen. :D

Thanks, that's a good point. Wouldn't want to miss out on one of these! **EDIT** Glad to say all is well! I emailed Milan and got a very quick reply...Note to self, always read the small print! My order is not going to be fulfilled till Sept and stated that in the Terms Of Sale ( my bad ), thats when another email will be sent to pay, etc. Now very much looking forward to September. :thumbup:

Many thanks for the info and link, they do look good, I'm sure they will be worth the wait!

Thanks for the info, I didn't want to start bothering him this early in the process, as I'm sure he gets enough requests and queries as it is. I'm happy to wait, just wanted to make sure this was the norm. :)

Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys who have the crosswinds could tell me how the ordering process went. I've just ordered some, received an acknowledgement saying "order confirmed" but havent heard anymore ( ordered them just under 2 weeks ago. ) Do they contact you any further before they are ready or do they wait until they are ready to ship before asking for payment, etc? ( Just wondering if they are still producing them as the web site hasn't been updated since March ) Thanks!

Hi boarder2, Well I would like to see something that allows the input of numbers to the various radios/TACAN/ILS controls to be altered so that their input is a lot more straight forward. Currently it tries to replicate the actual input a little too literally, which is a neat idea but leaves me endlessly trying to roll my finger round and round in circles like a demented tv studio floor manager, then having to reverse the direction when it over shoots ( or as a consequence of the current state of the game - having the numbers jump about all over the place. ) It might be easier if the icontrol representation of each instrument was larger ( as it is very fiddly ) but tbh I think its the fact that flick / pinch / stroke gestures don't work that well with this type of control input. I find it bad enough on a 23" touch screen using HELIOS, let alone a 10" Ipad with the 5 nav instruments represented on the one page along with the warning lights panel and weapons arming panel. I would like to see something that may not actually replicate the real world instruments, but accurately and quickly allows the user to input the desired radio frequency. Taping each knob/dial rather than flick up and down. Disadvantage would be that you would have to cycle through all numbers - 0 to 9 - should you over shoot. But at least it would be a simple tap tap tap. Alternatively, you could have a keypad come up. Say for example you wish to select an ILS station. You simply tap the ILS control box to make it the live input. ( Signified by a colored border ) A keyboard pops up on screen and you put in the required digits... 1 - 0 - 9 . 9 - 0, then hit "select" or "OK" ( or similar ). This keypad could also have a volume "+" and "-" and a power on / off button. Basically you control all the inputs on the one keypad. Once your done hit "set" and the input is er... input. :music_whistling: You would also need a "del" key in case you input the wrong number. Once you input the selection the keypad disappears retaining the realistic representation of the instruments. Sorry for the long post, but you did ask :D Hope it makes sense! Cheers

I have just got back into A10 after a long leave of absence and have finally got things running correctly again. I would really like to see an update that improves the radio selection system. Fingers crossed for an update soon. ( Though I do appreciate that the continual changing of how systems work in DCS must make it very challenging / to say nothing of frustrating - to keep on top of ...)
