Expect it to be very slow. I've run Win XP 32bit in a virtual environment under Win XP 64bit because I needed to run a few things for work that wouldn't run under 64 bit and I can tell you it was dog slow. Expect DCS to be virtually unplayable under virtual PC. -- Gary McLean

the FAQ says that unless you have the new HOG HOSTAS you need to use hit the keyboard combo that unlocks the throttle when you start up since it's normally locked down when the bird is cold.

I'd be surprised if ED has tested it with 3D given that it's relatively new technology and not widely used ATM. It might be useful if anyone who has downloaded it and tried it using 3D could Chime in and say if they've had any issues with it. Oops, nm. It sounds like a few people have already tested it with the beta and found issues.

AAAARRRGGGHHH!! I deep into playing Civ 5 and even that I only have time to play a few hours on the weekend. I've been pining for this game for 6 months and now that the beta is available there is simply no time. Never the less I probably won't be able to resist plopping down my money so at least I can start to learn how to fly the beast. Good thing the patriots are off this week so I'll have some extra time on Sunday :-D

I noticed the exact same thing when I watched the video and wondered what it was. It never occured to me it actually might be a bug. :D

I doubt it's that complicated for them. It's probably just a group of managers and producers that get together on a regular basis and decide this feature makes sense, that feature doesn't make sense, is too difficult to program, too confusing, whatever. It's not like they're a company producing commercial software for a number of large corporations who pay millions of dollars for that software and therefore there may be a need for sophisticated software to track what features their customers desire. Even their TBS software probably only has a few customers that even though they pay a lot of money for it, are probably so few that they can use an informal mechnisim to agree on features needed.

I wonder if part of the problem is that eyefinity can use up to 6 monitors but the lua setup maxes out at 3. If DCS allows you to setup up to 6 monitors it might alieviate a lot of the problems.

I can't imagine they'd waste an asset like an A10C to come in to strafe a couple of guys that might be shooting at you. The possibility of friendly fire in that situation would just be too great. Now maybe if there's a large group of enemy soldiers and they are threatning to overrun a position..that might be different. But yes, having it kick up dirt like in the demo video in another thread, that would be cool. I also happen to like however how the tracers look in FC2 now.

I wonder how long it will be before someone comes out with a touch enabled LCD that could model the MFD with the buttons touch enabled along the edges. Would be incredably useful if your using windows 7.

There is an MMO which simulates Ground, Sea, and Air on a really large Map of Northern Europe but unfortunately is strictly a WWII sim.

So if I put on my old Air Force uniform (with some significant alterations) can I get it? Please? Pretty Please?

What I want to know is when is DCS going to release this! I might not even stop to eat or take a crap if I was playing this.

Pitty you weren't able to climb back in again and continue on..:pilotfly:

Also let people know what you did to set it up. I'm assuming you edited the graphic setup files.

No, but if the MD5 codes off the downloaded file don't match what's posted on the download page you know you have a corrupted file. Just finished redownloading and the hashes match now. I just finished (apparently) succesfully installing so it looks like I'm good to go!
