Hi all, I hope thats the right place to ask that question. I recommended DCS: World to my brother. He downloaded the 4 files and encounters the problem that when ever he tries to do something with the setup.exe, his computer freezes and he has to restart. Meaning: start the DCS_World_release_EN_1.2.2.7570_69.exe -> freeze check the DCS_World_release_EN_1.2.2.7570_69.exe with other tools -> freeze delete DCS_World_release_EN_1.2.2.7570_69.exe -> freeze remove or copy to another folder -> freeze download another instance of the DCS_World_release_EN_1.2.2.7570_69.exe to another folder and try to start -> freeze by now he has 4 instances of the setup.exe which cannot be removed or deleted. Anyone had that problem already? He desperetly wants to tryout DCS and can't.:helpsmilie: Specs of his computer: OS: Win7 64Bit Ram: 4 GIG CPU: intel core2 duo cpu e6750 2,66 ghz GPU: Geforce 8800 gt All drivers are up to date... Thanks a lot for any suggestion and help Cheers Demon

Thanks agrasyuk

sounds great...the question is just when do we get our hands on it...

Sorry for bringing up an older thread but the Helios website is down for more than 6 weeks now. Whats going on there? is there another downloadmirror? Thanks for any hints and clearance Cheers Demon

Yeah, that I call the next gen simulation. I have it but dont luke it too much. If we only could import our jetfighters in that environment. It is more than about time ro get better terrain grafics in dcs. FM are pretty good and convincing.

In general I think that we have a very weak grafic engine compared to the many times older Falcon 4.0 which got a tremandous power up through the community. I love lockon and love every minute when I play it but we defenetly need a better grafic engine. The time is over where we want to look at pyramid mountains and trees made of 2 polygons. Lockon deserves more than that. Cheers Demon

Hi Cali, that we already have. If climb high enuff you get white contrails. If I am not mistaken even in every plane. cheers, Demon

I would like beeing able to declare an emergency including firedepartment ready with sirens and blue flashlight to add more reallity to it. Also some ppl running around the airplane while refueling, rearming and repairing so one knows that actually something is happening. Will probably never going to happen but isnt this a wish list? And its close to X-Mas :smilewink: I would also like to have mor action at the airports. Life over there is pretty boring. No vehicles, no movement just static objects. Thats kinda boring. I am a player since Flanker 2.0 so I am a strong believer in the DCS series :) But airport feeling is not very real life like... Just my 2 cts. But I am still loving that game! :thumbup: Merry X-Mas to everyone Demon

my pic contribution Hi all, here is my contribution to the awsome pics in this thread. Hope you guys like am :)

:megalol: good one :thumbup: a simple R-Shift and N does also the trick I found out...but still its a bug or a a feature considering the bluetooth headset... Cheers Demon

rearm and repair sounds for FC3 and DCS Hi all, I would like to have some rearm and repair sounds so we know, that there is actually somthing going on on the bird. Would be even nice to have some bordcrew walking around or just see some weapon cars, so we can hear and see that the task is gonna be done. Right now the repair is under cover. only when the crew chief says: repair finished, you that it is done. Just my two cents Cheers, Demon

Sound bug Hi all, it seems to me to be a bug when I get hit and hear the master warnings, and I eject I still can hear all the warnings allthough I am hanging loose on the parachute :lol: Cheers, Demon

Hi all, in FC3 I find it very annoying hearing all that master caution sound allthough I have already ejected and I am on thhe parachute. I guess that is a bug isn't it? just my 2 cts Demon

Mystic slew effect I was flying with Manuel this mission he is talking about. I just want to add that the drag after take off was sudden and not like beeing drafted away. Once the bird took off we slewed bumpy 20° aside which was defenetly not due to wind. I'll try to find the autosaved track and post a short video beginning next week. I hope to get behind that mysterious slew effect. Cheers Demon

I've been playing Elite the first time on a C=64. That was back in 1984...unbelievable. only 28 years later, I converted Elite into a boardgame. you can take a sneak peek at www.elite.universe-3d.com . I already backed for Star Citizen from Chris Roberts. I'll wait until David Braben releases more Dev diaries to see where the trip goes. Elite never the less rocks!!! :thumbup: Cheers Demon

hmm, than it should be a routine, which checks upfront if the a skindownload is needed. Then you can choose to download the skin, which will be installed automatically and then the server starts to load with the new skin? I have no clue if that could be easyly achieved.:huh: Cheers Demon

That is totaly understandable. But there is a copyright law which protects the work. I mean, all I say assumes that ED is interested in ppl outside the ED Team making mods and stuff for free in the first place. I think to limited degree they are. There are already a few like GrandSurf who pretty well know the structure of the game and having released some really cool stuff. Well the more ppl can make mods, the more open the structure of the game is the less we need ED for making updates and therefore, from ED's perspective I wouldn't want that to happen. So it makes sense, that modding is kind of bumpy to the masses. Just my two cents! Cheers Demon

Why not implement a pop up which asks the player if he wants to download a skin? Well, on the other hand if 32 players are using all unique skins that could be a bit of a problem. But than again, the user could select the one he wants to download? Just my thoughts, not really thought till the end maybe :music_whistling: Cheers Demon

Airport Design Editor for DCS? Hi pilots, in the past I was creating scenery for FSX(see my signature). There is a free tool called Airport Design Editor by scruffyDuck. With this editor it is so easy to create Airports. Is there a chance we have that for DCS as well? That tool for FSX is freeware. You can also get a pro version which cost only $9,99. I would also spend $20 for a tool like that for DCS. I am wondering why every company is cooking their own soupe instead of using common fileformats. I would really like to provide my knowladge in 3D modeling but find it extrem hard to go through all the conversion procedure. Any good programmers beneeth us who could accomplish such a tool? :smartass: just my thoughts... regards Demon

any release date in sight? :-) looks absolutly fantastic!!! Cheers Demon

will check that...thanks :) cheers Demon

well too bad...but thanks for taking the time Sobek!

@sobek yes you are completly right about that search thing. Will consider that the next time. But thanx anyway that you took the time to reply that quickly. Do you have a trick how to get a quicker overview of the weapons with having to study? Maybe there is something I missed in the enzyclopedia? Any comment will be appriciated :) I just need to say: this is a damn fine cool community! Cheers Demon

release tools to the community Hi all, just tumbled over that threat. I am an enthusiastic simmer and I can claim to have nearly every flight sim out there available. Recently I have played FSX and two years ago, I was keen to get to know how to achieve importing a 3D model into FSX. A few researches and I found lots of FREE tools to accomplish that. I am a former 3D animator and my 3D skills are professional. I missed my hometown airport in FSX which is EDJA. So I just started modeling the main building from EDJA. I posted that to the community and I was so surprised how the community reacted so positivly to that single building. And then the story starts. Peaople demanding more buildings. The end of the story is that I got a special permit to take pictures from each single building. The result can be seen here http://www.edja.universe-3d.com. I do not want to make advertisment for my scenery, further I want to emphasize that free tools for modding and make it easy for everyone to access will keep a simulation alive. So many skilled people out there who provide new liveries, new models and so on. A game only exist because the community uses it. If there is no community, than there is no product. So I want to call out that giving out modding tools for free won't hurt the product evenmore will keep it alive. 3rd Party developers, who run a business will always make money coz of their profession and the time they have to invest in a product. It took me almost one year to develop that airport for FSX but until today I got over 4000 download hits. It is for free and I am happy that so many ppl like it. thats just my 2cents Cheers Demon

GREAT shots!!! We have an OUTSTANDING simulator here with briliant models. I never realised that the AI planes are modeled with such high detail. I am just lovin it!!! Keep em postin!:megalol: Cheers Demon
