Update. I didnt see the post below about joining mp servers. Eyes glassed over lol. I am wondering if it vould be as mentioned in the posts that I might need to get an ssd drive for my dcs. Will have to see what happens

Around 2.30pm uk time.

Is there a key that will allow me to select a group of objects (ships, vehicles etc) so I can then move them into another area of the map? And can I copy as well? say tanks and paste them? Cheers

Not sure where this post should be but here goes. Loaded 2.5OB and every time I tried to join a server, I got to the briefing page waiting to select plane and then got a black screen. Tried a few times with no success. It was working OK a couple of days ago. Then loaded Stable version and got connected. Any reason why this is happening? There was only a couple on and my ping was good. Cheers

Logged onto teamspeak server but no one around. And when I tried to contact someone, got no replies. Never mind

Has anyone created a server with these great planes? Would be a great stopgap between other purchases. Hey Mike, cant remember but I know that Wings of Russia had some mods. Not sure if Migs were there. Think they disappeared. If I find anything, i will get back.

Im UK flyer so afternoon or evening as time allows. Hope to connect

LRRP, thanks for the info. Ive been looking for your server every night this week. I will hopefully contact you tomorrow or Saturday. Looking forward to it

Tecumseh, that sounds interesting. Will have a look at that tonight. Cheers

Got 2.5OB, now looking at servers to fly and check things out. What time of day is your server up?

Hi there, did you setup your TM hotas X with curves etc? If so, good idea to start from there. I will be upgrading to the same stick setup as you from my TM hotas X. If you dont have any curves I can give you my settings that Im working with now. The best guides around, look at chucks guides. He gives you a setup for curves etc. Fantastic stuff Cant wait to get the new stick

At last, got 2.5OB. Now to make new friends to fly with and get some enjoyment out of this. Just installed SRS, so another bit of kit. Fantastic!! Havent got Persian Gulf yet so will have to do with Caucasus and Nevada. Hope to see someone in the skies soon.

OK, many thanks for the info guys. I like the idea of username and split then callsign. See how it goes

I noticed that there is a edit to change your nickname in Multiplayer. Question is, do you use your Callsign that you have in your logbook or stick to username? It sounds daft but just need to know. When using radios and stuff Cheers

Think I will take your advice razo+r. That money could go to the F18 and Persian Gulf

I've read a lot about the T16000m Hotas. Not a lot of cash to throw at everything and thought it would be better than my Hotas X. I have to agree Tenkom, I do have problems with PIO. Everything is fine until I come over the runway or carrier and then it goes pear shaped. Would the rudder pedals help with refueling or am I grabbing at straws and more practice needed?

Many thanks also. That is a cracking good explanation.

Im finding it difficult controlling in a hover. Would rudder pedals help me, or is it just a glossy addon I dont really need? Could get another module or terrain with the money. Cheers

I just finished downloading and installing 2.5 OB and got rid of 1.5.8. Now I have both 2.5 versions so I can look for some good multiplay, so I have best of both. Also, when seeking out groups, check out their Facebook pages and Discord etc. Get to know them and maybe sign up. This is still far superior to the old days, you had nothing.

Many thanks Rudel. Never done this before and sounds interesting.

Is it possible to copy over my config files from 2.5 stable to 2.5 OB? Options, joystick, etc? Cheers

Cheers Ramsay Will take a look just in case I need to add any

Hi Just installed 2.5 OB to run alongside my stable version. Do I have to add another set of protocols to my router for DCS OB to join the multiplayer servers? If so, where do i find the TCP and UDP settings? Cheers

Hey greyman, sorry for not getting back. I am going to try that this weekend and hope to get it sorted. Other than that, its working great. Noticed that when I join a multiplayer mission, Viacom wouldnt reply to my requests. Is this due to the actual multiplayer mission or is there something I havent done? I will check if the missions have easy comms on or off, that could be it. If easy comms are set for the mission and i dont hear a reply, any ideas? Update: Sorted by allowing UDP settings in router and making sure Multi has Easy Comms=yes Hooray!!!!! Cheers

I was frustrated to see that whenever I wanted to join in multiplayer, all of my invites were for open beta and I have 2.5 stable. I personally feel that as the beta version will always be an ongoing development, that the need for a stable version is irrelevant. If as is said, the beta version is a test bed and any problems are sorted which I think is fab, its just like having the full game and having patches to update it. So whats the point, if you play single player or multiplayer, keep just the open beta and keep fixing it as we go along. I will be downloading the open beta as soon as possible so I can fly some cracking multiplay and also benefit with the modules I have.
