No problem. Merry Christmas!

I would check the Campaign sub-forums for each Campaign to see how well its working before buying. I know ED's working on missions and campaigns to make sure they still work with new Caucasus map but not sure if they'll all be fixed as soon as 2.5 is out.

Instant Action missions for all modules and Single missions for FC3 is all you get with Nevada. All Training, Single Missions, and Campaigns are on Caucasus because its free.

That is correct. At end of January with "2.5" update Caucasus will get merged in so you need only one install and we can put all this nonsense behind us.

To keep it simple all modules work with all versions of DCS (1.5 release, 1.5 OB, 2.2OA). At this point consider stand alone and Steam versions as incompatible. If you download steam version of DCS buy Steam versions of modules. Same goes for stand alone.

Its always been available as a bundle or individually. Why they put the 3 products in 3 different locations in the store is beyond me.

In your Programs folder is the program itself and the Saved Games folder is what stores things like options and preferences, controller layout, downloaded missions and skins, and other files that need to be created. It should be pretty obvious what you're updating. If it just says DCS World its the release version. It will say DCS Open Beta for Beta version. Both of these have only Caucasus map. If its DCS OpenAlpha you will need NTTR or Normandy for it. Your modules get updated too so when your download is complete you're all set.

It would be nice if the Mission Generator would work like it does in 1.5 making some groups mobile with routes.

Didn't know you could do this. This is even better. You can tune up/down differently

I just did a quick test playing with a setting in Axis Tune and this quickly brings back responsiveness. Tweaking this and maybe adding a curve will help make it feel more like last FM. I just cranked saturation X half way to 50. (M2000 controls/Axis Commands/Pitch Joystk Y/Axis Tune/Saturation X to 50)

If you're limited on disk space or downloading a new install or update takes a real long time you may want to hold off. As long as you've got room whatever version you have can be used to copy files for the 2.5 install. I just wanted to point out that updating both 1.5 and 2.0 version now would be a waste of time. Do you still have one or more of the versions installed? You should be able to update whatever you have now and be good to go.

At the end of January the "2.5" version is going to be released and that will merge the Caucasus map into the 2.0 World .When this happens ypu will need to do a fresh install or update from the 1.5 Open Beta version. Assuming you just want to fly in Caucasus you should download, update, or switch release version to 1.5 open beta. If you want to use NTTR or Normandy you need to download or update 2.0 openalpha version.

I didn't like the sluggish feeling either when pushing the nose down but but giving it some nose down trim does take away that feeling of resistance. Taking some getting used to, like others have pointed out, but I'm starting to get the hang of it.

Open Beta only

Tried this and encountered no flickering. Maybe upload your mission so we know conditions are the same. My first test was in Normandy (my bad) but I tried again and even changed all settings and still got no flickering. I then remembered this thread... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=197800 activated mirrors and, Yes, insane flickering.

Have you tried just using Space bar for weapon release? Try that too. Does cannon work OK? Set cut of burst to full auto and see if it continues firing normally. Just trying to figure out if button is going on/off instead of on constant.

At no point should diamond flash and once it appears it wont move at all. Have you went through Controls and cleared any thing that's bound twice? What are you using for flightstick?

Just tested and its working fine. 1.Point circle pipper at target 2.Press and hold weapon release (circle turns into diamond marking target) 3.Keeping weapon release held and just level out and fly towards target (circle pipper on top of screen is just used to help keep inline with target diamond) 4.You'll hear audible tone right before bombs drop and then they drop. If you've already found target with schval you just line up circle bombing pipper over other circle and when you press and hold weapon release you should see diamond inside circle. Continue with steps 3 and 4.

I was looking at several crash logs and got mixed up. Yes yours looks different.

I think so. I'm in the same situation with no OB version. I do think I'll start with fresh 2.5 install and hopefully Norm. and NTTR will just get copied from 2.2 and install wont take to long.

It will obviously take some time before a 2.? stable version can be had.

I highly doubt that.

This thread seems to be about same crash. No solution but its probably reported. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=197895

You're not supposed to but yes you can. Even rockets on inner pylons only and 2 different types of bombs on fuselage pylons works.
