scrap freetrack and use opentrack.

think of DCS 2.0/2.5 like a different game/sequel, still in development and not compatible with 1.5

ideal but not necessary, at least to test the aircraft on early access. same with the F-14.

I asked because I only played BMS. don't know any other sim's ATC, like FSX or X-Plane or you name it. I love BMS's ATC. Love when they say "welcome back", my position in the queue, tell to circle around at given altitude, "sunrise" (well technically it's not the ATC but I love that line)... also, please, if ED could do like BMS and mix male and female controllers would be awesome!

you got me curious. might I ask which sim?

this looks awesome! but for me, that's just the tip of the iceberg and not what is fully holding the release of 2.5. we'll be dealing with the new caucasus map, the full featured NTTR map, the Mirage 2000C final release with its campaign, same for the F-5E and I'd say we'll be even seeing an open alpha for the F/A-18C and the Hormuz Straight map, maybe even a final release for the Hornet. I see a downside to that, not for standalone users - that can pre-purchase modules before its release - but steam users that will have to deal with the release of a lot of modules at the same time and that's simply not very wallet-friendly. but we'll deal with it... as usual... after all, we're the minority, right. and even receiving a lot of flak when we try to discuss this situation :P exciting times ahead!

Great job, Belsimtek! I'm reading the forums, watching videos, I'm salivating to fly this aircraft! It deserves a lot of appreciation!

oh come on skatezilla, don't underestimate my intelligence. if that's your answer, it's better not to answer at all. NTTR is being made by ED but it's still unfinished. same thing with Red Flag. and third parties also follow ED policies about early access. you know what I'm talking about. you guys sounds like an anti-steam police, every time someone complains about it you give the same copy/paste excuses. you don't have to agree with me nor try to "convert me" to use standalone as if you were a christian and I'm an atheist :P speaking of religion, Jesus, stay on topic. I just made one statement and suddenly it becomes the main subject... thank you!

that's like the standard answer for every steam user, right? and yet I'm bringing the discussion back up. I'm very happy with steam, sir. that's why I use it. I find it easier to manage/install/update/stuff my games. their download servers are awesome and I always get very fast speeds. also on Steam I have the opportunity to pay for modules and games on my regional currency which is a major advantage for me. I'm not showing my unhappiness by posting that, I'm just showing to ED that they have a Steam audience and we want to be able to purchase new modules ASAP and not wait a whole year until the final release. by saying ASAP I'm not implying they should release at the same time, but as soon as possible, and not the time we're waiting for the NTTR, Mirage, the Red Flags campaigns. and let me show my eagerness to fly this fighter that is actually used on my country's air force to celebrate this great release from Belsimtek!

COOL another great module released only for standalone that will take another year to show up on steam.

same thing here. every time. on steam version. since 1.5 was released. one of my logs: # -------------- 20160714-031721 -------------- # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at 9A1195C9 00:00000000 00000000 00000000 0000:00000000 9A1195C9 00F7EDF0 0000:00000000 ?clear@Relay@Elec@EagleFM@@UEAAXXZ()+39 9A119515 00F7EE30 0000:00000000 ??1Relay@Elec@EagleFM@@UEAA@XZ()+25 8C1C08D8 00F7EE70 0000:00000000 8C1C0884 00F7EEA0 0000:00000000 8CF75B84 00F7EEF0 0000:00000000 ?clear@devices_keeper@cockpit@@QEAAXXZ()+A4 8CF774E1 00F7EF40 0000:00000000 ?release@ccCockpitContext@cockpit@@QEAAXXZ()+31 8CF6840A 00F7EFE0 0000:00000000 ?parseGlobalConfig@Clickable@cockpit@@QEAAXXZ()+160A C6570350 00F7F020 0000:00000000 C6642FA7 00F7F080 0000:00000000 C667F8C4 00F7F0B0 0000:00000000 C682F4F2 00F7F120 0000:00000000 C682233A 00F7F1D0 0000:00000000 C6818119 00F7F340 0000:00000000 91834B0F 00F7F370 0000:00000000 ?exitFromState_@FSM@Common@@AEAAXXZ()+4F 9183499F 00F7F3B0 0000:00000000 ?onSymbol_@FSM@Common@@AEAAXI@Z()+16F C681F796 00F7F410 0000:00000000 C680F214 00F7F440 0000:00000000 C680F164 00F7F470 0000:00000000 C64ED43F 00F7FB20 0000:00000000 C69138C9 00F7FB60 0000:00000000 B0D08102 00F7FB90 0000:00000000 BaseThreadInitThunk()+22 B36BC5B4 00F7FBE0 0000:00000000 RtlUserThreadStart()+34 and my last DCS.log === Log opened UTC 2016-07-22 05:25:13 00000.000 INFO VFS: Using 'Saved Games': "C:\Users\,,,\Saved Games" 00001.517 INFO DCS: DCS/1.5.4.54855 (x86_64; Windows/10.0.10586) 00001.517 INFO DCS: CPU cores: 4, System RAM: 8123 MB 00001.820 INFO EDCORE: (dDispatcher)enterToState_:0 00002.342 INFO Dispatcher: 2016/7/22 02:25 V1508170900 00002.561 INFO INPUT: Device [Keyboard] created deviceId = 1 00002.597 INFO INPUT: Device [Mouse] created deviceId = 2 00002.733 INFO INPUT: Device [TrackIR] created deviceId = 3 00002.831 INFO INPUT: Device [HeadTracker] created deviceId = 4 00008.117 INFO SOUND: loaded 1169 sdefs from "sounds\sdef" 00010.851 INFO SOUND: Using driver: xaudio29 00010.891 INFO SOUND: XAudio2: channel layout: Headphones/Stereo 00010.891 INFO SOUND: Using SSE FTZ/DAZ mode. 00024.244 ERROR VFS: Can't mount './CoreMods/aircraft/Hawk/Textures/Avionics' to '/textures/'. 00024.431 ERROR SOUND: can't open proto file ".\coremods\aircraft\m-2000c\sounds\sdef\effects\aircrafts\engines\snecmam53\e_m2kc_combstart.sdef" 00024.431 ERROR SOUND: failed to load sdef Effects/Aircrafts/Engines/SnecmaM53/e_M2kC_combstart referenced in .\coremods\aircraft\m-2000c\sounds\sdef\aircrafts\engines\snecmam53\e_m2kc_combustion_full.sdef 00024.497 INFO SOUND: loaded 19 sdefs from ".\coremods\aircraft\m-2000c\sounds\sdef" 00024.515 ERROR VFS: Can't mount './CoreMods/aircraft/M-2000C/Skins/1/ME' to '/textures/'. 00024.515 ERROR VFS: Can't mount './CoreMods/aircraft/M-2000C/Textures/Weapons' to '/textures/'. 00024.638 INFO SOUND: loaded 10 sdefs from ".\coremods\aircraft\mig-21bis\sounds\sdef" 00024.975 INFO SOUND: loaded 7 sdefs from ".\coremods\aircraft\sa342\sounds\sdef" 00026.085 INFO WorldPlugIns: No 'registryPath' for 'AVIODEV_C-101' 00030.197 INFO GRAPHICSVISTA: Creating Resource "Unicode" of type 1 00031.208 INFO DX11BACKEND: TRUNK renderer init: showShaderError coreCount=1 00031.864 INFO DX11BACKEND: Driver Concurrent Creates - 1 00031.864 INFO DX11BACKEND: Driver Command Lists - 0 00031.973 INFO DX11BACKEND: DX11ShaderBinaries::loadShaders 00031.973 INFO DX11BACKEND: DX11ShaderBinaries::loadCache Bazar/shaders/fxo 00061.303 INFO DX11BACKEND: DX11ShaderBinaries::loadCache done 00061.303 INFO DX11BACKEND: DX11ShaderBinaries::loadCache C:\Users\,,,\Saved Games\DCS\fxo 00061.467 INFO DX11BACKEND: DX11ShaderBinaries::loadCache done 00061.467 INFO DX11BACKEND: DX11ShaderBinaries::loadShaders finished 00061.804 ERROR VFS: Can't mount './Bazar/EffectViewer/envcubes' to '/textures/'. 00063.744 ERROR VFS: Can't mount './Mods/tech/Kuznecow/Textures/TUG_3913' to '/textures/'. 00064.175 INFO RENDERER: Global metashader cache enabled 00064.179 INFO RENDERER: Loading metashader cache from C:\Users\,,,\Saved Games\DCS\metashaders/ 00064.179 INFO RENDERER: Metashader cache: 0 (0) cached shaders out of date 00065.324 ERROR DX11BACKEND: rendertarget "rtDynamicCloudMap" not found 00065.364 INFO EDTERRAINGRAPHICS3: edtg::CreateSurfaceRenderItem() 00066.445 ERROR EDOBJECTS: Destruction shape not found AVIASHTAB_CRASH 00066.446 INFO TERRAIN: lSystem::lSystem 00068.454 INFO EDCORE: (dDispatcher)enterToState_:1 00077.163 ERROR VFS: add_location {"My Missions", "C:\Users\,,,\Saved Games\DCS\Missions\"}: path already added as "My Missions" 00092.034 INFO DXGUI: Cannot load font [F:\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\dxgui\skins\fonts\]!

which standalone version are you running? 2.0 or 1.5? the 2.0 will only run with the NTTR

every body loves a wishlist thread. the F-16 appears to be already in development either by ED or Belsimtek. also the AH-64 Apache. they are both listed on the TBS site.

i think the a-10a connectors are also animated. but that would be really cool not only to have the f-15c full working cockpit like the a-10c but the su-27 and the mig-29 as well.

I'm having no problems with Opentrack. How are your mapping curves configured?

I wish I had on of these. great cockpit! simple yet awesome!

"two weeks" is the official release date. every dcs forum member/player/pilot should know that by now. if that is not yet clear, please then take a note. mark you calendars. two weeks. every week. this word is final, secure and confirmed. by an insider. also there's a hormuz map screenshot on tbs site.

what a huge difference. i hate that greenish tint. one of the reasons why I play with ReShade. won't be needed for 2.5! I'm just gonna leave these here: there're more, but I hope I'm not spoiling anything already :)

F-16CM 40 and 50 pls I'm betting this is going to be the next project of Belsimtek after the F-5E.

2.5 in two weeks! DCS memes aside well, basically because 2.5 isn't just a graphical upgrade for Caucasus but almost a new game, with new features not even yet available for 2.0 and NTTR. and also because you guys are working on too many things at the same time. what will "eat" every single DCS pilot is this "coming weeks", of what we are getting. an announcement? standalone alpha? update for 2.0? on the speculation side of things, this pic for me means WAR: maybe a dynamic campaign, or just a whole new comm system for AWACS and ATC... good times ahead!

you don't need to erase you Steam copy, but'll need to make a standalone installation of DCS. it's your choice whether to keep two copies or just one. modules purchased on E-Shop can no longer be activated on Steam, but AFAIK you can do the other way around. not sure. since you've been away for quite some time, you probably gonna ask about 1.5, 2.0, etc currently DCS 2.0 is in alpha test and only runs with the NTTR map - a separated terrain module. DCS 1.5 is still the version to go for Caucasus - which is currently being converted to DCS 2.0 which will be called DCS 2.5. all modules run on both 1.5 and 2.0.

I'm impressed there's not a single mention about this image on the forums, no speculations and discussions about it. I myself only noticed this image yesterday. So let's fix this: Link to the original facebook post: https://www.facebook.com/eagle.dynamics/photos/a.10152597072140341.966057.441639040340/10157185125575341/?type=3 This is also the same image used on the last Community Update. DCS World 2.5 Caucasus theater featuring an A-50. Thoughts?

been trying to join your server but I'm getting connection timed out every time. I was able to join others servers but not yours. - edit I managed to join once, chose an aircraft, clicked fly and timeout again. but on the briefing I read about lowering textures and stuff. maybe the mission is too heavy for my computer to handle. gonna lower things here and try again.

good point indeed
