I am trying to setup MFDs in two independent screen of 800x600 to the right (in config, not phisycal) of the main one, 1920x1080. My main problem is that the sim doesnt look to catch the changes I make on the .lua to fit the MFDs inside the TM MFDs. I have even tried to make a new .lua but the sim doesnt look to see the new ones anymore, they dont show up in the MONITORS options of the OPTIONS screen. I think the problems goes beyond my file but anyway I paste it: Any help will be very welcome, I am almost there, I can partially see them so I am getting frustrated I cannot finish the job :) Cheers Tulkas

I agree the Su25T from FC is more challenging that DCS A10C and because of that maybe funnier to fly (for simmers, I bet real pilots will always would prefer to take to combat the most stable and predictable platform they can get) but that doesn't mean any of them is less relistic at all. Just the oposite, they perform as they should because of it's own aerodinamics. I think RodBorza is spot on with his explanation regarding wing loads on the first page of this thread. In fact you don't need to be an engineer, look at those huge straight and thick wings! There are screaming "I am stable as a rock at low speed!" Also check out how wide the main gear is, that makes for very stable landings and you don't have to worry much about cross wind gust lifting your upwind wing during your landing roll. All these is quite different for the Su25T FC and I suspect it is different also between the real birds. Remember as well they did not think necessary a two-seater for training. Just that fact alone points that the real bird is indeed easy to fly. Cheers Tulkas

I bet everything related to F14 is still highly classified for very obvious reasons. Cheers Tulkas

Thanks Effte. As far as I know the A10 doesn't have separated beacon/strobes but only anticollision. Looking for information and reading around I got the impression also that there is not so fixed rules, maybe depends on the uses of the unit/airbase you are? Some times I read is normal to flash your navegation lights as long as you are starting up and configure the system, together with the A/C light to warn for the running engines and then change to steady nav.lights when you are ready to go... There are not real hog driver's around? Cheers Tulkas

I mean something more especific, like strobos and posicition on start up to warn that bird is coming to live ore something like that, what lights you turn on/off, dim/bright, flash/steady for every situation. We have all these choices must be a reason and I would like to use in a realistic manner. No guessing here please, I can do that ;) hard, plain real procedures if you know Thanks! Cheers Tulkas

Has anybody the knowledge on how are the real procedures regarding the usage of the external lightning of the A10 on start up, taxi, take off? Thanks Tulkas

Thank you very much for the explanation, I really wanted to know to what was related and was being worked on. Cheers Tulkas

Does it look like this?: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=995971&postcount=101 It appears to be a common problem. I though it was an ATI issue but you use NVIDIA, so now I am starting to think if XP related instead. I have been dealing with this issue from Beta1 getting worse and worse with every beta release. I have used search function in the forum and found a lot of people with this issue but have not found any comments from ED members regarding the solution so I guess we just have to be patient, sit and wait. Cheers Tulkas

Extending the information in my first post after more testing: -Happends always with TEXTURES set to HIGH in Caucaso theater -Happends always when I load a mission in Nellis NO MATTER the graphics settings, even the lowest. It looks like this after a glimpse of the cockpit: Thos rectangles are suppouse to be the exit menu and the info bar in the ext. view. Regards Tulkas

Both done to no avail. Directx updated and Catalyst 10.9 installed. TEXTURES HIGH causes the mission not to start properly, sometimes it sends me back, sometimes I have to find my way out clicking on the corrupted fonts. Res. 1920x1080 if that helps. Cheers Tulkas

Sorry I did not explain myself properly: Yes, I started testing from minimum graphic settings and increased the settings one by one. The problem is with TEXTURES > HIGH The sim DOESN'T crash. The graphics appears to be corrupted as explained above but I can make my way back to the main menu and changing TEXTURES to MEDIUM everything is OK. Tulkas

Whenever I try to set TEXTURES HIGH the mission won´t load. I get a glimpse of the cockpit, it disappear right away, a glmpse of water, disappears aswell and then the screen is black. But the sim is still working, I can hit ESC an appears a square (exit menu) with white rectangles where the text is suposse to be but there are no fonts to be seen. I click on the rectangle placed where the exit option is and I can get to the main menu and everything works ok. So far playing around with the other graphic options I had no problem.

Thanks for answering but the HTTP links redirect me to DCS main page http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ Cheers Tulkas

I get a request of a login name/pass when I try to download fron any of the FTP/HTTP. The three first files are OK Thanks Tulkas

Solved with a clean reinstall. Thanks Tulkas

And this is what I get if I try to go to the OPTIONS: 2009/8/19 23:54 V810271318 Cannot load information: Error while loading Config/Weapons//schemes/warheads/standard.sch: simulation_scheme.blocks.1.__parameters.cumulative_thickness is missing Windows XP ASUS P5Q ASUS ATI 4850 - Directx 9.0c - Driver 8.500.0.0 Core Duo 8600 I was planing that, reinstall, check with 1.00 which worked well before, and later with 1.01 to check if it is the patch Thanks Tulkas

I searched, but is nothing to do with my problem, I don't get the blank GUI or anything like that, and BS was working great with my ATI until I reinstalled the sim. I will try a reinstall, hate that :mad:

What do you mean? It worked pretty well before with my ATI but if you know a way of getting even a better perfomance -when I get it to work again- hey, I am all ears :) Cheers Tulkas

This is the events secuence: -Before holidays (May-June) bought Black Shark in Norway, English version. Installed and working perfect, lot of fun. -After holidays came with a new hard drive with the idea of leaving the old one just as it is, as backup. Install windows and all my simulators in the new one, install Black Shark, install patch 1.0.1 but now: If I launch the game off-line (orange icon) I make it to the menu, but when i try to load a mission (training or normal) it looks it loads but in the end sends me back to the menu screen. If I try to go to "options" I get a messege error (screenshot tonight). If I try Multiplayer (blue icon) I get nothing, nothing opens, no error appears.

Cool!!! I am VERY interested. I will add you to my MSN when I get home in the evening. Thanks!

Tussen takk, det var stor hjelp :thumbup: I had the chance to use the F-5B-MLU simulator that the Spanish Air Force use to train the future fighter pilots (being the F5 the training ac before moving onto F18, EF or F1), the thing is I got sorprise when I notice how similar the handling was to that of the Su25T in Lomac, then I thought it would be nice to fly it with a F5 3D external model and the Spanish training Sqn skin. Right now I will just use the Lomac default F5 3D model (very crappy btw :( ) and make myself the Spanish skin, I don't have the skills to build the 3D model... let me know if there is any model available for the F5... P.D: Jeg er Spansk, men jeg er gift til ei Norsk jenta og jeg bor i Norge! Best land i verden ;) Venlig hilsen Tulkas

Hi everybody, first post here. Very impressed with your work guys. Can someone explain me how to change the external 3D model from one plane to another? Let's say for example that I want to fly the Su25T with the external aspect of an F5. Is it possible? Thank you very much Regards Tulkas

A F14A with all its engine problems I want my engine to stall and get into a flat spin :D And good carrier ops! Cheers Tulkas
