Aaaahhh, no wonder it wouldn't work thanks,

:D:joystick: OMGOMGOMG I have Keys!!! :megalol:

Hello, This may have been asked before, but are troops working on helios? I Have been trying to build a mission where a flight of Mi-8s and Hueys are moving troops to and from a position and for the life of me I cant get it to work. I tried placing Para's there and regular troops did an embark and disembark and still wont work. I am sorry if this is the wrong place but I don't want to double post so I posted here instead of in "missions". Thanks

tell Clare Chennault that. Tactics , Tactics, and more Tactics

Hello, download dcs world then you an either install BS1 or 2, or upgrade BS1 to BS2 in the module manager as Isegrim said, plus free content with 1.5.6 like su-25t tf-51 and campains, missions and such. you must sign into the website and create an account though.

Hello Razor, My 2cents, I haven't seen anyone mention one of the most important things and that is to open coolers fully before start, especially the allied planes, they will heat very quickly on the ground, and then the engine will blow shortly after takeoff. I'm not sure which aircraft you are talking about but that rule of thumb applies to any liquid cooled engine. the heat builds up before enough airflow is available to remove it, and you start "behind the 8 ball" so to speak, also they are somewhat sensitive to trim and flight attitude as it can disrupt airflow through the radiators. in a p-51 the auto rad shutters are painfully slow(even to this day in RL) and I have found after many, many toasted Merlins to leave the coolers open on manual at startup, (personally I do a complete run-up, mag and prop checks, so heat management is even more important) taxi, takeoff, then run 2250- 2700 and 30- 50 inHg airspeed over 220 then put rads in auto and watch them. I have found the coolant temp will remain fairly constant on auto, but the oil temp won't, so open it up a little till the oil temp starts to fall. I usually adjust both temps about 1 needle width below the bottom of the green then go to auto and maintain air speed and they will stay there for the most part. Most trouble in combat comes from the slow speed and reaction of the automatic system, so open them manually. also they are electric so a battery or generator failure will leave them stuck where they are at, most likely too far closed. Hope this helps

What a Helpful thread. I have been trying and failing to understand radio navigation, and now I have a working idea of how to do it and can practice. Tacan was pretty easy, but radials and VHF had me baffled, so many thanks. Rep inbound

Glad we could help. yes, when you pull the yellow handle, that opens the selected discharge valve, but it does not discharge until you flick the black toggle either way. you only get two discharges, so you can open more than one valve(I believe),but I'm not sure it would be beneficial to do it.

I'm in.... but who is going to sing Slim Whitman?

You get 1 new activation a month

I will probably up from Ford, and take a nice leisurely flight in me spitty, recon the coast to see the wall then return. (Hope maybe I might have a slipper tank by then)

+1 I couldn't have said it better myself

you gotta flick the little black toggle next to the yellow T-handles

Hello Very nice, the spit is a hand full at first, but very rewarding, and a lot off fun.:pilotfly::joystick::thumbup: and Happy Easter

1: my older system runs fine in 2.0., no VR, will performance be comparable to Nevada? 2: A quick rundown of settings and just logging on, and some explaining the interface of multiple maps may be possible? Like at the very beginning of last video? just a ballpark estimate of file size?

we will be glad to help but need more info, starting with the specs of your system, and crash log

hey guys, I had the same problems I am reading about and when I got to that screen, I did a license check, and deleted and reentered the serial number and tried again and it worked. that screen came up and I hit Exit and then DCS loaded and it all works now. I just figerd I would share that in hopes it would help someone. Edit: I was wrong it still don't work, it loads but I'm not in airplane

A good friend of mine was a tanker in the army, and he says no tank commander would ever try to run over a tree(s), for several reasons: 1: while you are stopped trying to knock down a tree, you would make a fine target. 2:Even if no enemy are present is not a viable tactic, due to risk of damage to equipment. 3:That's what axes are for. 4:uneven surfaces will roll the tracks off a tank in a heart beat. even a 70 ton tank has limitations 5: court marshall and the army's habit of making one pay for equipment damaged through flagrent disregard of SOP. :book: while there are certain instances in history where it happens,(the Germans going through Belgum into France, comes to mind), and it succeeded because it was thought impossible, and infantry found the best lanes and cleared the way the best they could so the armor could pass, in most of the films, there is an infantryman guiding the tank driver over or around obstacles.

:thumbup:+1 And at pre-purchase release next month it will be ground breaking. Sure, it's been a long time coming, and its still WIP, but its here very soon and I don't know about you, but I'm HYPED and it's only going to get better from release onward.

:thumbup: ++1

I wish I was more computer savvy I would post some really cool lawnmower drag races... nitrous...oxygenated fuels...alcohol...:lol::lol:

DCS: Honda lawnmower.... That module is a definite must have!!!

You should be ok with Flaming Cliffs then. it really is a good module

yea, I Meant the flaming cliffs module. The FM and weapons are all to DCS standards other than not actually being able to flick switches its all mapped to HOTAS anyway. and lots of content, and rumors they will soon add clickable cockpits. carrier landings are a blast in Su-33

I'm not sure if you are interested in them, or if you may have them,but since no one has mentioned it, Flaming cliffs is a deal and I think its on sale at the moment with viggen in a bundle. It has 5 or more a/c, the only thing is the cockpit is not "clickable" but it comes with a lot of content and campains included. I still play it at times and still have loads of fun F-15 and su27 and 33 are awesome and the Russian birds have English cockpits avialible. I also have and can highly recommend AJS-37 Viggen you wont be disappointed tho there have been a few issues with the latest patch that they are working on
