  1. Hello, I have recently returned to DCS (about a month ago, maybe a little more), in that time I have installed, and reinstalled dcs on my pc about 3 times. I have a new PC coming in about a week or 10 days. I had installed the stable version as well, but now only have the open beta. How can I see how many activations I have left. I went into my account on the website and into the orders and details but there is no indication there of how many activations are left. Do you use activations for reinstalling on the same PC? Do you use them up for installing open beta or only in the stable version? Thanks in advance!!
  2. Hi folks, I need some help. This problem only started today, never had it before. I installed a mod today, the smoke and fire mod (latest version), ran a training mission with no problems, ran a regular mission no problems and created a fast mission for ramp start and set flight systems. Now I get stuck in loading screen when trying to access the training menu. Any word on this problem happening before? How to solve it? Thanks for any help. Whiskey
  3. Finally....got it working thanks to you chaps. I uninstalled everything to do with DCS from the pc. Started fresh from the beginning. Followed the same steps as before "to the letter" or keystroke if you will. Voila, it worked this time.....guess third time lucky, maybe files were corrupt (although only got that message after the first time) or just some failure but most likely human error at some point :music_whistling:. In any case, I have it working now and looking forward to jumping back into the cockpit and moving some mud. Been a while...since FC2 since I flew jets. Bring on the pain of humiliation learning this beast :book: Thanks again folks. Whiskey
  4. Stage 5 is were it gets haywire. The A-10C_1.1.2.1_EN.exe does not list a file location once initiated, I have to browse for the location. Once I select a location it states "DCS World 1.1.2.1 or greater should be installed." Whiskey
  5. That is what I have done up to the last install, which is the A-10C_1.1.2.1_EN.exe, it tells me 1.1.2.1 or greater should be installed.....doesn't say its installed or even go through an installation process...then just left with the desktop staring back at me. Does this mean its installed? When I go to multiplayer the version is still 1.1.1.1, :crash: It did not list a default folder to install into, I had to go into browse and select program files. Is that correct? Just install it into program files/default folder or do I have to put it some were else?
  6. There is no DCS World folder....just the eagle dynamics folder. I dl'ed everything on that page that I was told to....still unable to get this thing figured out. No World folder, just the Eagle dynamics folder, an icon on my desktop that says DCS A10C. So am I missing the world install? Even though I have got all files I was instructed too. Gonna need Steven Hawking to install this I guess. EDIT: Just tried to install the world exe, says I should have world 1.1.2.1 or higher installed and fails.......WTF!!!! &*#($&@()$%*&^#@)(&*%$^(_#*%&^_(8(#$Q&%^_(8(#&%_(8(#$&%^(_#8(Q#&$(_)*#&_ Whiskey
  7. Man, do the problems ever stop? Seems to be really difficult to install these updates. I am trying to install the A10C open beta plug in and when I run the exe it starts fine, but then it has no default location to install into. I looked for the info but I found nothing on a location. Not sure if I just install it into the main folder or what. What folder do I install the open beta plug in for the A10C? This is driving me crazy, the process is probably the hardest I ever had to do.....either that or my brain function has bottomed out! Whiskey
  8. Yes, I dl'ed only the one and it was a big file and it did put the icon on my desktop.....which does work and takes me into game. Will dl the A10C_1.1.2.1_EN.torrent now and install. Thanks peeps. Whiskey
  9. Thanks...dling the torrent now...so that is all i need for DCS World to work? What else do I need besides the torrent file to be able to fly my A10C in World?....or can I just use my key from steam and play? Whiski
  10. Yes those are teh files I have from the page you posted. Every time I dl them and try to install...it says they are corrupt files and to obtain them again. Not sure why, but twice now from the same page (the one you posted) they won't install...I am logged in as admin so there is no reason they would not work properly. None that I can figure anyway. Whiskey
  11. Ok, so I have purchased A10C from steam. I have read that I can use the key for the steam version and use it in DCS World. Ok, here is were my problems start (cause I am daft)......I have dl'ed 5 files total from the DCS site...1 being the DCS World (715 mb in size) and another exe and 3 bin files. What order do the installations go in? I tried installing the world first....it told me I needed to have 1.1.2.1 or higher installed and then nothing.....i tried to install the other exe with the bin files and it says it is corrupt. Do they make any thing easy anymore? Or am I just getting more stupid with old age? Any help on the files I need and the order I need to install them would be greatly appreciated. I am currently running 1.1.1.1 version through Steam. Thanks Whiskey
  12. Thanks, will do it now. Thanks again mate. Whiskey
  13. Hello! Just purchased A10 from steam and now I am in the process of trying to figure out how to install DCS World. My squad mate told me to install. I have the exe file and 3 bin files....how do I go about installing these files to run World? Is there a certain order the files go in? A particular folder the bin files go into? Any help on the process to install the game (from steam) into DCS world would be much appreciated. Fly safe!! Whiskey
  14. Hey peeps, been looking real hard at buying Black Shark. Have lomac FC and loved it. My pc ran it very well too, my pc is a 3500 AMD proc, 6800 Ultra Geforce 516, got 2 gigs ram, SB Audigy 5.1 sound card and thats the nuts and bolts. Will that run the game smooth enough or be comparable to LOMAC FC for playability. Or is this game a little more demanding than FC? Thanks in advance. Whiskey
  15. Thanks Gents. Appreciate the help very much and will see you in the skies in the next couple of days....soon as i get time to jump in the pit. ~S~ Whiskey
