Hi, I need tech support with I am having. I increased my surround resolution with my 3 43" TCL monitors to 11,520x 2160 and plugged in my new Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle. The Warthog appears to use the slider to zoom in and out. Now the side monitor views are screwed up. I'm using Nvidia surround. The angle is seriously off. No matter where I place the zoom the view is still of showing the tips of the wings like a starfighter. Aspect ratio is showing 5.3333333333333 at this resolution. Before adding the Warthog I used to fly at 5,760x1080 and never had a problem. Is there a known & proper setting that can be used for 4k resolution? I have not edited any files or button assignments. Can someone from tech support let me know how to fix this?

Thanks Silver. That did the trick.

Any chance I can get on a mailing list for these sorts of announcements?

I can't say I've seen every post here for sure so sorry for any duplicate requests. Glad to hear that these things are in process though.

Hi guys, I been in flight sims since the 80s. I own several DCS titles. Something we are desperately in need of is a dynamic campaign and/or more of a directed development focus that leads to a meaningful (or series of meaningful) theaters of simulation. That is, rather than allowing the various developers to create a hodgepodge of planes, we need ED to direct those that want to develop new planes for DCS to do do so with those that make sense for a defined theater of operations. In other words, less like Microsoft Flight Simulator and more like Falcon 4.0, European Air war, TFX and other titles that got us veterans committed to combat flight simulators and thousands of dollars invested in rigs and equipment to go with it. Recommendation:Take more of a project-to-military-contractror approach and open up contracts to build planes that are meaningful for the conflict, era and terrain environments that you have developed and will be developing. It's really getting out of hand. What sense does building an F-86, Huey, Christiansen and Mig-15 to then only fly around Georgia, Persian Gulf and Nevada??? We need some kind of linkage and vision so that it all makes sense such that the planes and helicopters come together in their correct theaters of operation. Heck, you could even bid out the dynamic campaign work as a project. I love DCS but after spending time learning all of the switchology and systems in these planes we need something more in tune with combat simulation and gameplay. Your work with DCS (especially with Virtual reality headsets) has been a breath of fresh air. Now we just need that air to be meaningful.

Thanks for this thread, I just got the Warthog Hotas and have Elite Rudder pedals that I use with my Hotas Cougar. Going to grab that Logilink device you mentioned off of Amazon for when I fly with the Warthog.

Actually, the best way for ed to implement this would be to add a page on the kneeboard which autopopulates the abbreviated details of the 9-line briefing automatically to the page as it is spoken. Then, you can reference it in written form in VR by glancing at your knee pad.

Hi Baltic, yes it works now. The issue was that after searching for your serial number you have to click the "Bind" button in the DCS loggin page's profile settings. This cannot be done from the game itself. After doing that, it will then install the 1.5 version of A-10C. To fix the 3 monitor issue, I had to not use the Nvidia PhysX check box. But, instead go into the game itself and change the resolution to 5760x1080. This is the equivalent of three 1920x1080 monitors. Doing this widens the view across the three monitors without stretching/distorting the display. Thank God I didn't have to go into editing the lua file. Personnally, I think ED can do folks a favor and keep things simple by letting folks know these small details. Both issues were really simple to fix. A-10 has always been my favorite aircraft. I remember me, Aeyes and XIS from the old Falcon 4.0 days put out the first A-10 mod package for Falcon 4. I must say, I was in awe at how much of a difference having the wider field of view makes. Thanks for adding this option Ed. Everything from sense of speed to seeing SAM launches/bullets being fired at you from your peripheral view. Wow, to think that we've being playing flight sims for all of these years as if we were looking through a straw. Amazing... I recently installed BMS 4.33 and hopefully can figure out how to get the three monitor config setup up painlessly. So far it has not worked without using the Geforce PhysX check mark. But that is still bugging and causes the display to get stuck in game mode after exiting to Windows.

Ok. Thanks for your help on that one. Uninstalled everything and Reinstalled DCS World. Still the same results. When I clicked on the four squares, and select modules, it only showed options to buy the various titles. I did find something in my regular profile just like you said that enabled me to check my key registration. There I found a button that enabled me to "bind" the key to my online profile. Darn, wish there were clearer instructions on that somewher. I lost three days trying to figure this one out.

Hi guys, I have a problem. I purchased my original Disk version of DCS A-10C several years ago. I never really played it due to not having a fast enough PC to really enjoy it. Now, I have a new rig and it installs and runs fine. But I cant register to DCS via the UI or anything else. I found that now everything works from DCS World for multiplayer. So, I've downloaded and installed DCS World 1.5 and found nowhere to insert the CD key. So, I found a link for the DCS A-10C version 1.2. However, DCS world gives me an error popup indicating that I need version 1.5.2.48726 of A-10C. I don't see anywhere to download that from. The question is, how do I get the correct version of A-10C to be able to play the game? DCS World only shows purchase options. No CD key options. Lastly, if anyone can help me by sending me a Surround gaming config file for 3 monitor 1920x1080p setup (if that is still needed), I'd appreciate.
