  1. Thanks Sryan, I hadn't realised that, guess I can free up some disk space then :)
  2. I used to have DCS through Steam, I then realised the advantages of having the standalone version. ( I actually still have both installed ) Updates and new modules are available much earlier than Steam, also patches etc, and also because my Steam modules were easily activated in the standalone version, it means I can pick up modules in the sales on both standalone and steam !! I only use the standalone version now, but hang on to the steam one just in case they have a flash sale....Both can run very happily beside each other... Hope this helps :)
  3. If you have two and a half hours to spare ( I did ) here's an extremely interesting and informative documentary on the Su-27, It's long for sure, but very detailed :-) [ame] [/ame] Puts her into perspective :-)
  4. Nvidia Geforce GTX1080 So now this new puppy is out of the box, I'd love to believe the hype...... Apparently half the power usage, but twice the performance of the Titan, but at a much lower cost !! If this is for real, it knocks the 980's sideways !.....Looks too good to be true, but apparently with VR in mind.....counting my spare cash as I speak :-)
  5. Can't wait for the new lights personally....at the moment in MP we look like we turned up with an American Cheer-leading neon powder-puff squad !! Sure there are more pressing issues, but it is a wee bit embarrassing ;-)
  6. Thanks for your answer, did as you suggested and decided to alter the wind in ME to a headwind, and was able to take off fine..... What baffles me is because the Quick-Start missions are the obvious first port of call when you buy a new mod, the mission designer decided to make the cold-start first take-off such a challenging one ;-) Thanks for your help :thumbup:
  7. I have exactly the same issue...... fine in 1.5.3 OpenBeta, but trying to take off cold start from Runway 3L in 2.0.2 pulls violently to the left, and no amount of correction to rudder avoids a sorry end in the dirt off the runway M2000C was great to fly (and still is), but without a definitive answer, I'm avoiding flying it in Nevada...
  8. He is quite a guy, ex-forces so it's in his blood I guess....I'll get my printer sparked up and put a bundle together for him :thumbup:
  9. My father is 78 and has DCS, he picked up the M2000 in the last sales, his memory isn't that great but once airborne he is great with a HOTAS.....so for people like himself of a certain age, the easy start (like in the A10-C) eases the frustration he feels at not remembering the start-up sequence.... So yes it would be handy for sure......till then he can ring me daily to 'remind' him one last time where a certain switch was ;-)
  10. Excellent ! Spotted that and thought it was a reference to waypoints.....had a bit more practice and did some reading, and Yes, all seems to be working well....Finally getting the Kills with both missiles....Thanks for your reply :)
  11. I look forward to those changes, it's certainly a wee bit challenging at the moment (for a novice like myself) Razbam sure do back their beta products well...Good stuff :thumbup:
  12. It was me doing too much watching other people and not enough reading and practice....Now I just have to nail the landing :)
  13. Thank you both guys...Was a case of me watching loads of youtubes from December I guess ! I just need to brush up on my air to air skills then, I've been spoilt by BVR weapons ;) Appreciate your quick response, was driving me nuts :)
  14. But without the smaller flashing missile seeker circle to place in the box and go solid when it locks, when I fire the missile it just goes off at a tangent and never hits !! (no lock) The circle is also missing with the magics too ;)
  15. Hopefully this is just me missing something obvious but......... When attempting to use 530 missile, I first radar lock my target, get the solid box and fly towards it,I then put master-arm on to enter air to air mode, and then select the 530 and the 's' appears next to the missile.....at this point I thought a small flashing circle should appear on the HUD......regardless I continue to lock it again and at no point see the small missile seeker head circle, flashing or not ! Am I just being stupid and missing something simple ?? I have searched for an answer, but cannot see anything I am doing wrong..... Thanks in anticipation.
