True...but I know some folks who would love some modules that can't afford them, and saving 50% is better then nothing. Thanks for the info guys.

Can you gift a module to someone using your bonus points? Or can you only gift modules you have purchased?

Thanks guys....will have to look into MIST.

So I have a trigger around an airbase to detect any enemy units coming in. But I wanted to have it so if the enemy aircraft flies below 300 AGL they are not detected. Is there a way to say if any flying enemy forces are below 300 aGL not to detect them? Or do I have specificy each aircraft that could be in this area?

So noticed two oddities while using the Rift. In the front cockpit view on the left panel there seems to be a rivet or a bolt floating about half way down the panel. It's kinda odd just floating there. In the backseat between the legs the writing on the ejection handle is floating a little left of the actual handle itself. Small things...but figured I'd report them.

Since the last update I've had more luck going back offline in order to use the Rift. I did do a FPS test today to compare all the graphic settings and see which one works better. While Low was the best with no Judder...Ultra was pretty sweet.

Great videos!

Yeah I had the manual open the whole time I was trying. I think I figured out the issue though. I had my pitch and my roll set up for my office joystick with deadline, but not the rudder. I think the rudder was causing some side sway and making issues. So I added a little deadzone to it and it worked nicely. But since were on the subject of airspeed...I know the accelerametor has two reading. One is the true airspeed and one is indicated. For aerobatics which one should I used for entry and exit speeds? I would assume true airspeed, but wanted to double check.

That was it! Thanks! Btw, been checking your L-39 videos and they are great. Looking forward to learning more about this jet.

Is there a guage for G load or is it like the Mig-15 that I have to display it on screen?

Usually around 700km/h....seems like at the top of the loop it just loses control and departs.

Is there a way to turn off that graphic data on the left side of the screen during replay in the L-39? Was trying to capture some footage and it's in the way.

So I've gotten the aircraft started now a couple times and enjoy flying her. So I've been trying to take her for a few manuvers. It seems that when I pitch her up for a loop she starts buffering and at the top of the loop kind of slides sideways instead of looping. Is there some trick or throttle play I should know about to loop her? I usually start out in a 10 degree dive to gain speed. Then I start pulling back slow and raising the nose. Should I be doing it different in this jet?

Thanks for the info. So as long as the target is always called the same it should be good. I'm going to experiement with using a random factor to putting it in a different location each time to add replayablitity to the mission.

So quick version of a mission I'm working on: Blue force has to recon several different airbases/locations in red territory to find a specific vehicle (sam launcher). Once spotted, I want the blue force to use the radio options to tell the bombers where to go. Bombers will be AI. So I have the bombers at a base with late activation, but is there a way I can set their bombing target via a trigger based from a radio option?

I was able to be online (which never worked for me before) and was able to get about 90% success. It still crashed after around 4-5 flights, but still a lot better then before. Plus, it no longer crashes each time when you end an flight either so I can actually save my replays. Great job!

Awesome find...was able to play and actually save a replay of the flight! You are getting major credit in my next video buddy! I have all my settings on high and getting from 75-150 fps depending on where I'm looking. Will do more test flights this weekend.

So made an interesting discovery today and hopefully the video of it will show it off....but when I run open beta and am connected to network and it logs me in - I can get a flight in maybe 1 out 15 times...very rare. But if I'm unplugged from the network and try it, I can get about 75% success. I've been able to do A-10C, Su-25t, Huey, and Mi-8 with the instant action. I was actually able to load my training mission and fly different aircraft including the L-39. The bad thing is that every time I quit it crashes...so can't save replay. So I've had to resort to recording what's on the screen.

Well a Mac Mini has an intel i7 running at 2.3 ghz. The gpu isn't anything too great since it's a Intel Hd Graphics 4000 with 1 gb of VRAM. It's my spare machine I used to use as a media server. So figured might as well convert it. I believe it's got 8 gigs or Ram, but I can bump that up if needed. I have a Macbook Pro that has similar specs, and I have it dual booted with Windows 8 and it can run DCS 1.5 Open Beta. I pretty much use it for combined arms to laser up some targets. So in theory it is possible. Any suggestions about communication and website? I have a 75/75 network connection at home and the server will be hardwired on a gigabyte ethernet connection.

So I'm thinking about using an old computer I have (Mac Mini) and putting window 8 or 10 on it and making it a dedicated server for my friends and me. But I have a couple questions. I know if it's on a local network only machine in that network will be able to see it. I would need to open the ports up for the external connections to see it, do you guys know the ports I need to open? Would it advisable to set up a communication server as well, like teamspeak on the same server - or would that cause too many issues? I'm thinking it would be used for about 2-5 people at any time. Not sure if teamspeak is the best option, or any other app.... Also thinking it would be nice to run a little wing website on the server as well. Is there a template out there for a virtual wing website? Not too savvy with HTMl so would need as much help I could get. I saw the post on the dsc wiki about disabling the 3d engine so I'm good on that. Anything else I should be thinking of? I do have a second DSC account for my laptop that I use for combined arms...so would either use that or buy another module under a new for the server.

So got it working today (with a lot of crashes in between) but made a video about my results: I found that with instant action I can get the following modules to work about 80% of the time: A-10C SU-25t UH-1 MI-8 I was able to get some of the other modules to work from a training mission I created in the past. I was able to do a little flying on the L-39 that was pretty fun. The cockpits do look a lot better and much clearer (still not perfect, but a lot better then older version). I did have issues with the pilot position and even pressing num 5 didn't really help. I'll try to get more footage this weekend and get more details. __________________

Still trying to get one flight in. I'll keep trying here and there. Was hoping to try to get some footage for the VR aviators FB page. At least it's a step in the right direction though....menu GUI shows they at least know we VR folks exists.

Also had crashed as well. Away from my cockpit right now so will get logs later tonight. For those who were able to fly a little, how did the cockpit look? What airframe did you manage to fly a little with?

I got crashes when trying to get into flights. GUI looks nice and readable though...so thats good. For those who had flights, were the dials much clearer to read? Was it a cool experience? What jets did you fly? wonder if it only works with certain jets.
