Still some missing in the latest 1.2.4 release. Seen recently in mission ATO A.02.1 of Georgian Oil War campaign.

Got it. Thanks!

Thanks guys. Often I want to update in a foreign country using data credit on a local sim card. I'm reluctant to start the process in case I get half way through and screw up my install. I realise my situation's not a common one, but I suspect people would appreciate the extra info anyway. Great to see the auto-updater resumes without issue by the way.

Auto-update Size Can we have update sizes posted with the change logs please? That should stop people like me coming to ask... Does anyone know how big the update for World and Ka-50 module is (from previous version)?

How can I add a Russian JTAC in the mission editor? Which unit do I need? I want to see if these make the same diamond appear on my HUD. I'm thinking, at the moment, the wingman target designation should be disabled completely (if it can't be nerfed).

Could it be that ground forces are also designating these targets? The reason I ask, just recently I was playing campaign and my wingman was downed but I still had a green diamond around a target on my HUD. (I'll use the mission editor to run some tests, find out what's really happening)

Just want to add my thanks for the patch! It's a great time to be a simmer with you guys around and I sincerely hope you can kick back for a few days after the release.

Would be awesome for sure. I'm confident they'll release a Su-25** at DCS level, since the AFM is already there. It makes sense to build on your foundations.

:lol:

I can't help but feel there's a big advantage when flying the Frogfoot with an AI wingman. It seems he spots and designates targets much too proficiently. I imagine myself as his wingman and ask myself, could I point out air defences to him at 5km away. You end up with a constant queue of targets on your HUD without any need to search. I'd like to see him designate less targets, and for his detection of enemy vehicles to be weakened. When I flew Ka-50 finding targets was the hardest part so it seems strange that it's made redundant when flying the Su-25T. One other thing. In the Frogfoot, designating targets. I can press 'lock' a few metres away from the vehicle and then slew towards it, the crosshair jumps the last little bit directly onto the vehicle. If I recall, it's different in the Shark. You must actually slew right over the target before it'll lock. Does anyone know if this behaviour correct, or should the two systems work the same?

Thanks, I'll try this.

Is anyone using MSI Afterburner with DCS? I have the on-screen display running for other games so I can see GPU temp and framerate. In DCS I don't see anything. I've added DCS.exe as a profile and tried the various detection levels but no joy with it.

Can we have the entire nose cone of the Su-25T not break off quite so often? Just now I performed very gentle belly landing in a level field with good AoA and sure enough, the entire front end was missing. On a seperate note, I've been playing DCS on my old laptop (current one's in for repair). I turned all detail settings to medium, rather than trying to have everything set as high as possible. I was soon thoroughly engrossed enjoying the gameplay with no thought for the graphics what so ever. A true testament to the wonderful flight model and mechanics of this sim. :thumbup:

Sorry, but people can read the thread (or F'd up link) and decide for themselves. Who made you the nanny of everyone?

Sorry to interrupt, but can just ask very briefly whats required to do this. My colleague here has a Macbook Pro and I've got him very interested in DCS. Is it just a case of buying a full version of Windows 7 or 8 and then running Boot Camp set-up? Did you come across any issues installing/running DCS World? EDIT: I'm guessing it looks super awesome on a Retina Display with the extra resolution. And better for spotting targets.

13.2 Beta here... http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=373749 EDIT: I just did cursory test of DCS, Far Cry 3 and Batman: Arkham City. All are working fine with no obvious issues.

Thanks for the assist ALDEGA. It worked. Don't know how I got the problem in the first place since it was a fresh install on a fresh system.

Ok... it appears to be a problem linked to the Su-25T. Ka-50 is tracking. In Control>General>Axis Commands TrackIR is mapped. But if I go to the Su-25T>Axis Commands nothing is mapped. And the things that are mapped in 'General' (for example, 'Absolute Horizontal View') aren't even listed under Su-25T. I've also tried pressing default whilst having the TrackIR column selected and nothing happens. Strange.

Thanks, I'll give this a shot.

Depends... are you comparing two cards at the same price range or are you comparing where money is no object. In the first case, ATI wins. In the second case NVidia wins.

It's just the limits of ground AI at the moment. We'd all like more realistic behaviour. I'm sure ED have a million and one things they'd like to put into DCS World. Like any business they have to prioritise, and work on the things that will bring them profit and keep the company afloat. DCS World is constantly evolving though. Just give it some time. :)

Yes, I ran it as admin.

Yes, both LEDs are green when in the sim. TrackIR has it's own column in controls but there is nothing mapped there. Can't remember if there was before though or if that's just normal.

Latest version of TrackIR5 software is running and tracking my movements and when I launch 1.2.2 TrackIR is shown in control options. But in-game I'm getting no head movement, only with mouse. LEDs on the device would suggest it's still functioning whilst DCS is running. Ideas anyone?

That's what I was running. It was kicking me straight to launcher.exe. As a suggestion for the developers, maybe you should include data transfer rate on the progress bar. That way people will know the updater is still busy and not crashed.
