Anyone please? Regards, Gary

Plexi, No problem and thanks for the replies. Not a massive deal for me at the moment as everything works fine. Just want to ensure all my serials are recorded somewhere together. Thanks again, Gary

Plexi, I might be being dim here but just went to try your method and because I already have the module installed the list of available modules doesnt include the option to download those I already have (quiet sensibly!) The only option I can find on the installed tab is the activate / deactivate option and i really wouldnt want to do that just to get my serial. Am I missing something here? Regards, Gary

Plexi, Thanks for this. That will work for my missing Huey serial but will need another method for my BS1 serial (which I need because I have BS2 upgrade) Thanks again, Gary

Can someone explain please how these should be logged and recorded? As mentioned in a previous post, the module manager does not show all my serials for items I have purchased and I just logged onto the main DCS website and that only shows one serial, when in fact I have purchased several. (and yes my log in details are the same - one account) I would prefer all my serials to be kept on the DCS website, all in one place, just in case of serious PC errors my end. Kind regards, Gary

Same problem here. Will get a cheap mouse but any solution until then? Regards, Gary

Just to say if you go into the training option in game - it does give you the option to download. Not tried it but I assume it does exactly what it says? Regards, Gary

Possibly nothing to do with just the upgrade version. I bought the Huey yesterday and module manager doesn't list serial for this purchase either! Can someone please advise a fix? Regards, Gary

Same issue here. Assume we all have upgrade version? Can someone please tell me how this is fixed please?

Rubberduck, Had a quick look but didnt really seem to offer much more for the same money? Cich, Thanks but as you suspected - not in the same price range at all.. Tint, Thanks also but unfortunately I wont get to choose my components freely, have to go with the best processor, memory, graphics I can find and the Acer seemed to offer most for my limited money. Will the 710m be a bad bottleneck? given the processor and memory seem good spec for DCS? Thanks for all the replies guys btw...very helpful... Regards, Gary

Danilop, Thank you for taking the time to reply - it is much appreciated. Unfortunately I am stuck with the laptop only option and fully aware of the limitations you mention above. Many years ago I used to construct my own desktops sourcing parts mainly from Asus (before they even started producing their own builds!) Trouble is things move on so quickly in the PC world that keeping up,or catching up would take far too long. i'm really stuck with the choice of not bothering at all, or biting the bullet and getting the laptop (I am justifying the purchase on the basis it can be used for other things, not least work and therefore needs to be portable - I wish this wasnt the case but it is) Tempted to buy the Acer v3 I7 3632qm with 8gm RAM, Nvidia 710m 1 gig. for £750 Not sure what people think of this given my limitations?

Hi, I have not been very active over last couple of years (since BS1 days really) due to the low spec of my existing laptop which really can't manage BS2 or A10 unfortuately. Anyway, need to get back involved (been away far too long) and have decided to bite the bullet and get a new laptop today (yes very inpatient!) It needs to be a laptop rather than desktop and I really do have a limited budget of approx £700 Although not ideal way of buying I do have a PC World local to me and will be getting it from there. So question is does anyone have any suggestions or recommendations please? (aside from get best processor, dedicated graphics and as much RAM as possible) Any advice greatfully recieved.... Kind Regards, Gary

Nate, Although with my current settings CPU is running at 35% I dont expect to be able to max anything out - just want a few more fps on current low settings. Trying to find latest graphic driver for the HD 3470 without any joy! Regards, Gary

Gents, Done the test and gutted!! Ran DCS and looked at memory and CPU useage. CPU running at 35% (Intel duo @ 2.27mhz) Memory running at 60% I'm guessing that means my bottleneck is the GPU (which is on board ATI HD 3470) which makes sense - but nothing I can do!!! Regards, Gary

Nate, Peter, Thank you very much to both of you. (Oh how I wish just throwing £100 quid at the laptop would help lol) Regards, Gary

Sorry, a little confused now. To clarify, Adding more memory alone on a 32bit OS will not help at all? Will moving to Vista 64bit and keeping just 4gb aid any fps improvements? Will moving to Vista 64bit and adding memeory aid any fps improvements? Or will doing either or both the 64bit OS upgrade only improve loading times and not fps? Sorry to be a pain but if I'm going to spend c£100 today I want to be very sure its going to be worth it Thanks for your help with this btw Regards, Gary

Nate, Thank you for the prompt reply - as always. Will look into it now. Assume though its a complete new clean install of OS (and subsequent DCSW etc) rather than being able to just upgrade the OS without reinstalling eveything? Regards, Gary

Hi, Not strickly a bug or problem but wasn't sure where else to post this. I have a 32bit Vista system with 4gb RAM Unfortunately not in any position to ugrade CPU etc but could possibly look to add more memory. Assuming I can (Toshiba satellite p300 laptop) will the programme benefit from it? (I know Windows has the 4gb issue) I only use BS2 (A10 frame rates are poor on my old system) in new DCSW 1.2.0 If memory increase wouldn't help - any other suggestions please to gain a few fps? I already have eveything on low or off and don't fancy messing with bios options. Kind regards, Gary

To give bluedrake the benefit of the doubt here, it was not my impression that they wanted cheaper software (although their example implies this unfortunately) My reading of the post was that it was more a suggestion to try and make things a little easier. Perhaps an alternative suggestion would be to give everyone the ability to accumulate credits in their accounts. So for example I could deposit say £10 per month into my account (up to a limit of say £100) so that as soon as a module is released I would be able to purchase and play. Not necessary for me - but might be really useful for those on a very tight budget. Just my suggestion of what I think bluedrake was getting at. Kind regards, Gary

Just wanted to add my thanks too. Great job

Thanks Nate,

Supports 32bit? Been through change log but dont see a mention Regards, Gary

Can you confirm this will work on a 32bit system too please? Regards, Gary

Nate, Any chance we can have an updated BS2 manual please? Mainly interested in the radios section (which as stated refers to BS1) Also, Can you say if JTAC will be introduced into BS2? Asking because during some of the quick missions I've flown, the briefing tells me they are available and their freq. Kind regards, Gary

Just checked and can log into main server so obviously has been done "internally" so to speak - just not been added to my account as yet. Thanks again for your help everyone - I will keep checking my account occasionally (but no rush - understand more important things to deal with) Happy for my ticket to be closed in the meantime. Kind regards, Gary
