Hi All, I've returned to DCS after a rather long Hiatus. On returning I found I needed a fairly monstrous D/L in order to get things running. That's where the problems have arisen. On starting the game (I have a 3 screen setup with Nvidia surround running them) the middle and right screen were all that showed the game. The left screen showed the desktop. I dug a bit on the forums and made my left most screen the dominant screen. That made the game look right. I started the Huey module and the picture looked way out being, what looked like, stretched left to right. The resolution was right though, 5760x1080 so I guessed the aspect ratio was wrong. So I changed that to 5.3 and that's where the trouble started. On the opening screen the image is huge. So huge that I cant access the start button to make any changes to the game. Please help me with this. It would really help if an English speaking person could help me through TeamSpeak or similar, Thanks in advance, ...Guy

DCS 2.0 is here and its fantastic but I really hoped that the missile explosions would change a bit. Maybe have a randomised explosion that might look a different to the current one. I was watching a video of Falcon 4 and their explosions look fairly epic. I this something that some of the stellar modders we have on here, could approach? ...Guy

Very Nice, ...Guy

Is this the right place to ask? JOKE!! It was a joke, ok.....Geez ...Guy

It took about 3hrs to D/L 2.0 but luckily my clan hosted the NTTR map on their own server and that's galloping through, ...Guy

I struggled a bit with this as well. What I did was go back to the training and keep pausing the tutorial to check all was correct. The main thing with the 21 is it needs a lot faster approach than most other planes so give yourself a lot longer run in. Use plenty of rudder to keep her straight and you should be golden, ...Guy

Im pretty sure that wasn't what the 'Whole debate' I was making was. I was led to believe that I couldn't use the product activation keys from Steam in the Standalone. If that's not the case, then excellent news. ...Guy

Hi All, Ive been thinking. As Steam users, we haven't been able to get 2.0 yet. Im a bit worried what will happen when we do as, I presume, the Steam installer will just overwrite the previous 1.5 version as it did with the previous versions to get to 1.5. I believe Standalone owners get a new copy of the game with each update. Allowing you to play 1.2, 1.5 or 2.0. As I don't own the Nttr map yet, I wont be able to play the Sim when 2.0 comes along, Or will I? Hopefully it will be offered as a second download with accessibility to my different modules. That way I can carry on playing 1.5. I can hear you all quietly laughing that I should have bought or change to the standalone. But I haven't. And I have invested a lot of money, through Steam, buying different modules. All, I might add, at nearly new prices, making the decision to just reinstall the standalone version not feasible. Im pretty sure that ED gets a fair chunka change for each module sold. So I think its only fair that they do something about the module codes. Making them transferable between the standalone and the Steam bought versions. Fairs Fair. We have bought your game after all. Anyhoo, ramblings over. Any other opinions out there? ...Guy

Wow, ...Guy

NP, thanks for the help anyhoo, ...Guy

Thanks, That's what I hoped lol. Otherwise more agg to fix, ...Guy

Thanks for your help Klem, This time the file did appear in the 'Monitors' List, but when I selected it and the screen refreshed and the DCS opening screen was approximately 1/3rd its original size on the centre monitor only? ...Guy

Hi All, im having a memory lapse. Did the Mig 21's tutorials have a voice over or was it all text? If it was a tutorial, any idea why mine has disappeared? ...Guy

OK, Now im totally at a loss. I D/L Notepad++ but as far as I can see I don't need it if im just dragging your file straight into Monitor setup? But before I did this I uninstalled all my mods using JSGME and then did a repair on my DCS. Said it needed to acquire a load of files. I let it do that, dragged and dropped your file into Monitor setup. Fired up the game and its not there! The file I removed is back in (Reacquired probs) So where do I go now? This is ridiculous and Im reckoning your getting a little ticked off with all my whining, ...Guy

OK heres where Im at. As it wasn't appearing in the DCS menu monitors 'Drop down' I tried to add it to an existing Lua. file from the 'Drop Down'. In this case 'Camera + RMFCD' as im not using it. I opened the file in notepad, deleted everything after the description (So it should still say Camera + RMFCD) and copied and pasted Klems file underneath. So the files description for DCS was still 'Camera + RMFCD' but was, in effect, the 1Camera_Centre_Gui file. Saved this, then restarted DCS.....The file now has totally disappeared from the DCS monitors 'Drop Down' God help me, ...Guy

Thanks all for your help. Fixed as suggested. Top fellas, ...Guy

Klem and Weeb, I think ive might have found some of the problem. In the lua. file you sent it is called 1Camera_Centre_GUI.lua. when I checked my DCS options there wasn't a screen option with this description? I put your file into C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\Config\MonitorSetup When I open the MonitorSetup file I see it in there. Im running a Steam version of the game but surely that would make any difference would it? Im way out of my depth here so really appreciate your help. If you want to try to help me 1 on 1 my steam name is Luftwoller (Don't panic im no squeaker(46)) ...Guy

Klem, I tried that. Added it all correctly. Clicked OK and when the screen restarted the opening screen was 1/3rd the size on the centre screen only with the outer 2 black? WT actual F ...Guy

Hi all, I wonder if anyone can help. As a quick combat mission I love flying the 1 vs 1 in the instant action menu. My problem is this, that the skin for the A/C is incomplete and has the 'missing textures' thing written on it. When I go into my missions the skin is fine? Is there any way of changing the base skin to one of my D/L skins? Preferably with a swastika. Cheers in advance, ...Guy

Hi Klem, Thank you for your patience. You are right, I am running 5760x1080. It s on 1screen in the DCS options but this still puts all the written info and the comms menu and the cargo camera all off on the right hand screen, making it extremely unhelpful. If you can help with a fix I will love you forever ...Guy

HELL YES +1 ...Guy

Im feeling stupid again. I have no idea if this will work for me or where to put it. In the options im running 1screen and the resolution is 5780x1080. If you can help me, can you write it as if I know absolutely nothing! (True btw) I heard from another poster that it isn't possible to get the GUI on the centre screen? ...Guy

Hi all, Probably a stupid question so im ready for the flak. My sound appears to be a little messed up in the A10, ie no engine sounds until half to full throttle. Is there a way to fix this by perhaps restoring the module to standard settings without having to reload it? ...Guy

Hi all, as some of you might realise the steam sale is now going with up to 40% off of some modules. I know its a recent addition but I really wish the L39 had been on sale as well (This is the only one that wasn't) this was my only 'Must Have' and ive held back from buying it for a while now. Anyhoo, I heard through another that there is such a thing as 'Dcs Dollars' or some such thing. Where if you pay full price for other modules you can get a discount on others and maybe the Nttr when it comes out? Any idea what im talking about or is it just rubbish lol, Cheers, ...Guy

If your monitor is 60 hz that's all the frame rate you'll get regardless though, isn't it? ...Guy
