Hi Again Guys, Many thanks for your hints, especially the recommendation by chief! Installed the latest NIVIDIA driver and the problem is solved. I've got my DCS back again. Cheers, Tamas

Thank you guys for your advices, will try both! Report back. Tamas

Hi, I have found a "crash file" there, perhaps it helps: # -------------- 20180626-154326 -------------- C:\Windows\system32\nvwgf2umx.dll # C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION at D7B09776 00:00000000 If you need the whole log-file please, indicate. Many thanks indeed for your help and attention. Tamas

I would, but where can I find it on my computer? Please consider I'm not a computer expert only a "stupid user" both in sim and RW aviation. Anyway, many thanks for your quick reply. Tamas

Hi Dear Guys, I've been away from my DCS sim for a while, and when I wanted to fly it again I downloaded the latest update (two days ago). When I click on "FLY" my mission, after a lengthy loading my DCS crashes to desktop. I have Nevada, Caucasus maps and the A-10 and Mi-8. Just wanted to purchase the Mi-8 oil campaign but it is suspended util I can fix my problem. Never encountered a problem like this before. Any help/advise/hint is much appreciated. Tamas

Agreed 100%! Examples please dear volunteers! Anyway, thanks for your help, excellent community! Tamas

Definately NO! I'm only a stupid user both in sim and RW aviation! :-) Tamas

Many thanks for the lead feefifofum. I'll try to follow it. I realized that the root of my problem is that I do not really know what is behind the terms like "FLAG", "SPAWN", "ZONE", etc, even "TRIGGER" itself. Your explanation could help to understand. Cheers, tamas

Many thanks indeed BaD! I will try it. Triggers might be easy but reading through the DCS manual...several times... well, I can not comprehend. Most probably it is my shortcoming. (At the same time I'm quite good to learn complex systems/aircraft/software, etc in RW aviation. A good, step by step tutorial would help a lot. Cheers, Tamas

Thank you Alpha, that's what I wanted... and you are lucky!

Hi All, I'm through 6 moths of learning, ups and downs with this incredible DCS 2.1.1. sim. Admittedly, I do not use it to fight battles but rather flying helis. There are two important things that I could not find out: 1. Can I set a specific heading (ME or MAP function?) when the aircraft is on the ramp, cold and dark? In strong wind conditions it would be necessary to turn the helicopter nose into the wind before startup. 2. I still can not set the internal cargo load, the slider is inop in 2.1. Is it a bug or I miss something? (Someone told me to use TRIGGERS to load cargo, but it is far beyond my DCS knowledge.) Anyway, is this slider working in 1.5? Is it planned by the devs to fix it? Appreciate your help, Tamas

Thank you captains, I know that is hydraulic, I read about artifical control load by springs, trim, etc. What I really asked is not engineering thing, just the subjective feeling of the controls by someone who has flown the Magnificient. Cheers, Tamas

Hi Guys, Just courious: could a pilot with real MI-17 experience somehow describe the control forces on this heavy wonder? Is it heavy or rather a "fingertip" aircraft like the Bell Jet Ranger or AS350? Cheers , Tamas

Hi Toby, Excellent work, just installed on my computer. My only problem that the red flashers are rather yellow/orange on my system. Your experience? Cheers, Tamas

... and finally let me correct myself. I refered to EGT in this thread which is wrong. Of course, it is PTIT! The values on the instruments tell the story (if you don't read the systems manual). They are too high for EGT for any turbine engine but just on spot for beeing power turbine inlet temp. Tamas

Hi Holton, Just back from a test flight. You are spot on! Previously, I have followed the USAF shutdown checklist which dictates to switch gens, inverters and rectifiers OFF beforore setting ground idle and finally shut down. My thermocouples were left without power. Once again: amazing simulation! Cheers, Tamas

Thank you Ironhand for the link. I wil try to comprehend an will give it a try. I'm a bit affraid, because as mentioned before I'm only a stupid user who expected to click on the 1.5 install exe, and that's it. Tamas

Thank you alfredo, its good to know that it is not my fault. Anyway, a jet engine shows a sharp and immediate drop in temperature when cutting off fuel. Tamas

Thanks Slazi, I will check it. But before I go into trubleshooting, I would like to confirm: do you have the same experience? I mean: when you shut down the engine by closing the fuel shutoff levers your EGT drops normally or hanging at the idle value? tamas,

Ok, let me simplify my question: is it possible to install 1.5 after 2. XXX on my computer? Dear devs: your opinion or tip? Cheers, Tamas

Hi Guys, After a couple of months and flight hours with the Belsimtek MI-8, I could hardly criticise anything in this product. In my opinion : simply the best helo in flysim world. Great immersion, challenge and reward! My only observation up to now that after a normal shutdown of the engines per the checklist procedure, my EGT will not decrease. They are simply maintaining the last indication, somewhat below 600 C. Anybody with the same experience? Is it a bug or perhaps my install or system? Appreciate your help, Tamas

Sorry, I don't know what happened to my post, here is the full version: "Ok guys, I think BuzzU has the lead. My 2.0 install somehow interacts with the new Caucasus. I will, by no means uninstall my V2. Too many work, devoted time and payware installed on my computer." Tamas

Ok guys, I think BuzzU has the lead. My 2.0 install t for the new Caucasus. I will, by no means uninstall my V2. Too many work, devoted time and payware installed on my computer. Tamas

Many thanks Rico, I have downloaded the install exe but when I run it it is a 2.6.22.24 updater. How can I get the 1.5 version? Reading through the posts, i have recognized that many simmers have both versions installed on their computer. Somehow they did it! By the way what do you mean "if I using steam"? Please, be aware that I am "only" a stupid user not a computer specialist both in the sim and real world aviation! :-) Cheers, Tamas

Hi Guys, I have DCS v 2.XX (latest) installed with a couple of modules like MI-8, Uh-1, etc. For the Caucasus scenery I would like to install 1.5 version, but if I click on the "download" icon of 1.5, I only get a 2.XXX updater. It says that installation is impossible because I have a valid version on my computer. Any tips, solution? Appreciate your help. Tamas
