Im GTG now. thanks.

Also will i have to run DCS on Steam or is standalone OK? thanks.

I'm new to VR and considering the HTV Vive or Oculus. Did the price just come down on the Vive? Showing $599 at Amazon. Also. My specs are a Win 7 Pro, GTX-970, 16 gb of RAM, 4690K O/C'd. Would SLI of my GTX 970 help? Upgrade to more memory?

I'm sure this has been discussed. No capability that I can see and it makes flying formation challenging. Any progress or updates coming? thanks.

I'm on v 1.5.2 and I didn't see any servers in the multiplayer.....so i'm guessing i need to update to 1.5.7. Can i do that through and interface or do i have to download new from the website? Also I'm guessing i may want to consider keeping the old version? I have FC3, A-10C and CA. thanks.

Just got the 1.2 to 1.5.2 update through the updater (standalone). Me and a friend playing FC3 on multiplayer here at the house both in A-10C (two separate licenses). On two separate occasions I lose nose steering then he did. I also could not raise the gear. "g" was bound correctly. Any ideas? Since 1.5.2 is out of Beta (I presume) is this where we post issues? Thanks.

What's BS1?

I went to the stand-alone version instead of steam. Module manager is working for us allowing the person who owns the keys to fly their module on whatever computer they want in the house by just deselecting the modules they don't have/want.

I've got the original 3 computers running again by a new re-install. I did learn that you can manually activate and deactivate by going to: Mods/aircraft/bin/ then open up the protect.exe application. you can manually activate (and looks like deactivate) keys here. If I only knew how/where the program was looking for keys and mods better I might be able to do what we need and stay legal.

Thanks for the reply. I tried deleting the DLC on the computer and that seemed to work until another log in attempt (i.e. a user with a DLC another user did not have.) The ED support site person responded to me: "I would recommend you to use different Windows accounts on PC with different DCS logins" I don't think that's the issue. Each person makes sure they log into windows on their own account then on their own steam account. We will totally uninstall and re-install to see if we messed up somewhere but i don't think so.

I'll try to figure out how to contact a live person in Steam support. In the meantime.....is there a way to "clear out" and restart my DLC in my W7 user name profile.....like in saved games or somewhere similar? Thanks for taking time to reply. this has us locked down.....and on our long weekend!

Can someone PLEASE help me fix this issue: There are 3 of us in this house with 3 computers. User A on computer A, User B on computer B, user C on computer C. All of us purchased mods thru Steam: We all have FC3. User B has A-10C and User C has CA. All was fine until user B logged on to computr A. Steam downloaded A-10C but then multiplayer said "Invalid Key" ! then same thing happened to user A on computer A after user B logged off. Invalid Key. Where it was working before. All bindings at : http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/personal/licensing/ show matched to the correct login. It looks like DCS doesn't like User A have in computer that has the mods someone else purchased. That's fine. Not our intent to cheat the system. After all only one person is using the A-10C at any given time anyway. What in the wide, wide world of DCS DRM is going on here? Thanks

I bought A-10C thru Steam. It downloaded and installed just fine. Multiplayer worked. Went to play on my other computer and it will not let me get into multiplay.....Invalid serial #. I do not understand why this is so difficult. I paid for the mod. I bound and unbound it and tried again.

Anyway to do this? family in town. three computers, no PC internet connection. just want to use the router to connect us. thanks.

Bummer. Any idea if DCS 1.5 or 2.0 have better built in exports or allow multiple computers (cross IP) for multiple fixed view screens?

OK. I just got several of the gauges to work. turns out i had put the export.lua in the wrong place actually. But there the weapons display only shows empy. i.e. no a-120s etc. and pushing the chaff & flares it stays full. No RWR on the display either. what works is ADI, , VSI, eng temp, RPM, AOA, g-meter, airspeed, Altitude, HSI (i think) and some buttons. Again. any help appreciated. if this doesn't work i guess i'll just use TrackIr to look down. Thanks.

Just downloaded Helios. Does Helios interface work with FC3? When using the profile editor it shows FC2 for an interface. vs FC3. I downloaded Capt Zeen's profile for F15C. Put his export.lua in my C:\Users\yourusername\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts Put his profile in user/my documents/helios/profiles and put the Capt_Zeen and Capt_Zeen_NIGHT pictures in user/my documents/helios/images. I pointed the interface to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld Go the radar (VSD) to show up in the right spot. (2 monitors) but no data seems to be coming in. ADI, Alt, VSI, etc show no movement. Also in the profile editor, when i click on the altimeter the bindings only show "Toggle Hidden" and "Set Hidden" that seems to indicate somethings wrong. Any help appreciated.

No it goes in the scripts folder.....duh.

I installed Helios. Does the export.lua go in the user/mydocuments/helios/profiles folder?

thanks.....before i go using helios....does it work w/ 1.2.16?

1) I can place the left_MFCD anywhere I want. Any attempt to place a "right MFCD" it's just blank. So the F-15C seems to have only one export MFCD. The radar. Any idea if Helios or others work w/F-15C? 2) On a related note I adjusted one of the camera views "viewDx = 0 and viewDy = -1" That adjusted it so one of the monitors was focused down at the control panel when looking forward. Cool. But obviously when looking around using TrackIr that's not good.....it moves. So it would be great if I could just export a camera view. then it would be stable and just sit there while my upper 3 screens would move with trackIr. 3) Also I wonder how many viewports are there in 1.2.16? there's Left, center, and right. Are there any others? if so where are they defined? Thanks.

Here's my file: _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('3 Screen + 2 MFCD'); Description = 'Attempt at 3 monitors each with its own camera and one with 2 MFDs' Viewports = { Left = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; viewDx = -1; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1920 / 1080; }, Center = { x = 1920; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; viewDx = 0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1920 / 1080; }, Right = { x = 3840; y = 0; width = 1920; height = 1080; viewDx = 1; viewDy = 0; aspect = 1920 / 1080; } } LEFT_MFCD = { x = 5760; y = 0; width = 840; height = 1050; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 6600; y = 0; width = 840; height = 1050; } UIMainView = Viewports.Center

Thank you! Here's my setup now. I have four monitors now. 3-1920x1080 and one 1050x1680. The three are hooked to one GTX-970 and the fourth to my older GTS 450. The three are config'd as one monitor with NVIDIA Surround. I entered 7440x1080 total resolution in the startup options menu. Then set up my screen config file per directions with three camera and two MFCD placed on the fourth monitor. Every thing looks great except one thing: There's only one MFCD (the radar) on the fourth monitor. I'm flying F-15C in FC3. Is there anyway to see the radar or other instruments on my fourth display? THANKS!

Never mind. I got it working.

Two monitors: 1920x1080 and 1680x1050 typed in 3600x1080 resolution and started in windowed mode. But it won't spread the video across the two monitors. Any ideas?
