Thanks everyone for your suggestions. It was indeed the game/flight settings that was causing the problem. cheers!

i did not know there was such an option but will check. Regardless, you would have though lifting into a hover would over ride wheel chocks?

The engine RPM is already set when you start in the 'instant action' scenario. I have tried adjusting the RPm just in case but again no change. What else might you suggest?

So installed the Hind and mapped the axis controls as usual. Sticks all move and the collective goes up and down in the right direction, even the swashplate on the hub can be seen moving on the outside views, BUT the thing will just not lift off or move at all? A google search shows a few other people had this problem and the one who has replied to me cannot remember how he fixed it. Any suggestions?

ah that might be the issue as i am oon version 2.5.5.4171

I knew it was a stupid question, so thank for your understanding and prompt replies! cheers STOP PRESS, more stupidity to follow: It does not appear in my module manager..any other suggestions?

Can i ask what might be a stupid question? i pre purchased super carrier a while ago and see it is released, but no where in my DCs game does it show up, not in the icon menu or the mission editor. the game did not update on start up either...any suggestions please?

Thanks everyone for your advice. The install on D drive went well and game updated and playing wonderfully. Larger SSd was not an option as already delivered and used and immediate upgrade not possible to funds, but once they become available then I will upgrade larger ssd. Thanks again.

Thanks Goa, will give that a try.

Hi, I bought a new high spec machine that includes 256 solid state drive [C:] and a one terabyte Hard drive.[D:] I logged to the DCS site, and downloaded the latest 2.5 no problem, but when it launched and tried to update my modules it said not enough room on C: drive. So, I dragged the installation over to the D: hard drive and the module update appeared to download and the game auto launched. Problem is that at the GUI opening screen it shows the 17 modules available again [in red on my module manager] and clicking that just starts the whole process over and over without actual installing. I am not very techy and never hard a solid state drive but that aside any obvious mistakes I have made in the install? Anyadvice appreciated.

I had the same problem and the guys here talked me through it. Make sure your master arm is on. The look down to the left and you will see two new red covered master switches, arm them both. Just above that is the power panel the small left switch needs to be on and you will see numbers appear in the read out. Then at pilot eye level you have a drop down gun sight, which you click on and should see a lit reticule projected on it. If still no luck make sure you are actually armed by telling the ground crew to arm your aircraft with cannon and missiles. Finally clear and remap your fire button in controls and like me you should be good to go!

Thanks for your help, all working now cheers!

thanks guys, will double check all those things! cheers!

still no gun/rocket Hi, I am still having a problem getting guns and rockets to fire, can you look at the attached jpeg and spot any glaring errors please?

thanks will try again!

Thanks wolf. I thought the armt was the actual masterarm switch?

I have the guns and rockets loaded and have set the weapon release button in options, but still cannot fire them. I do also have the drop down weapon sight but it blank and no lit reticule ring as seen I some pictures. Can anyone give me a talk through the correct switch arrangement please?

In the external views I am seeing no movement of the actual swashplate. The blades have movement but the swashplate which would initiate that does not appear to move. Bug or just not implemented?

I like what I have seen so far, as was getting bored of the Caucasians. I landed the Huey on what I thought was the Bellagio [might be wrong only been to Vegas once] and instead of landing I went through the roof and down the lift shaft inside the building? interesting but not what I was expecting.

Thanks Raptor, I will give that a go but away for a week now sow will have to wait till return. cheers Drummer

yes but same problem. I think I have identified [with some help] it to the AMD control scaling settings and got it to work once, but cannot seem to replicate the solution since.

I am still having a resolution problem with 1.5, if anyone could offer a suggestion please? The maximum I can run is 1920x1080 because if I go above this the icons and 'ok' buttons are not visible onscreen, so I can only end task and start again. If I force the resolution by using L Alt and Enter, I get a beautiful rendered opening screen with all the icons and start menu there but none of them are clickable, so again end task and edit the options folder back to 1920x1080. The Old 1.2 could run at 2560x1440 so would like that on 1.5 any having that problem or can offer a solution? Thanks.

No still having a problem. In old DCS 1.2 I could have resolution set as 2560x 1440 and sim ran in full screen. in Dcs 1.5 I can only go to 1920x1080. If I go higher and then use the suggested left Alt and Enter command to force full then the opening screen resets into a beautiful high res screen with hi res icons but none of the icons are clickable, so once again I have to dump out and reset the height /width in options screen. If it has any bearing the trees in 1.2 looked like real trees to me but in 1.5 they look like two pieces of card at right angles. Is this related to my resolution problem or something different do you thin? thanks for your thought on this. drummer

Thanks for your replies and suggestions, will give it a go.

Yes beaver I did and then I could see the options in DCS , change the resolution and use the okay button But, this morning when I start the computer and run DCS beta I am back to the previous problem, even though my windows setting remain at 100% screen as set last night. So I cannot change the resolution in DCS or even exit without using task manager and ending task. I tried many combination of screen size this morning and then reverting back [signing in and out each time] but even 100% does not give me enough of DCS on screen to operate the okay button. Any suggestion? thanks drummer
