Hi all, More dumb and probably answered questions but hey. When I create a marker point on a target using the TGP, then track the mav to target, the crosshairs of the mav disappear inside the green SOI box. Help please. Thanks

Yep that was it, I was playing the other day, serves me right, thansk for the quick responce.

Yes I might have, trying to turn it of now but struggleing

Hi all, (again), Right, next issue now Eagle have removed me from offline mode. When i load DSC the first DCS screen colour is normal, then it goes a bit reddish for a seconds and you get the loading screen again with a reddish tint. The loaded home screen also is reddish then when you load a game you can basically see three of everything, one blue, one red and one green. I have no idea what I have done, please don't judge me, I just like to tinker, its in my nature. Stiggie

Ahhhhhhh.... So annoying, spent the last 24 hrs downloading a fresh copy of 2.5 (yes by broadband is incredibly slow). Same message, and no I didn't put it into off line mode before I moved it. Didn't even know you could. And yes i have tried repairing it Have emailed support nut not expecting anything till tomorrow now.

H all, Copied DCS 2.5 onto a new SSD today. Now the decktop icon wont work which is predictable as the file has moved. When i go into the ED file and open DCS, I can start the program using the icon, but I get an error saying Cannot exit offline mode due to hardware ID change. Ask for support. Then i can load the game but no online access and because the file path has changed I cant use any modules. Help plese Stiggie

Ah ok, that's big enough for a download. Thanks

Hi all, Apologies for the no doubt very silly and obvious question. How big is the 2.5 download in total with A10c. Just sorting some temporary internet for home and don’t want to shoot myself in the foot. Thanks

So just to check, any motherboard with a 1151 socket will accept and work with any processor that has the 1151 pins config. Just checking, I’ll have a good look around and post some ideas in this forum before I buy anything. Thanks tai for all the help, I really do appreciate it.

Its really hard when you are new to this to make the right decisions, its all a bit of a minefield. I work on racing yachts and its the same in my industry, we find owners who have had bad advice spending thousadns on thinks that make little or no difference.

Firstly thaks both for the replies. OK so I need to keep a look out for a second hand board with a 1151 socket or the Ryzen option which I must say looks tempting. Is there a perticular manufacturer of motherboard to go for, MSI I assume is a good one, and what needs to be looked for when buying one to fit an i7 chip? Thanks

HI all, Thanks for the fantastic responses, and I'm not offended by any comments, I only paid £200 for the computer. A quick recap then assuming I've understood. My CPU wont run a GPU upgrade, its pointless just upgrading the GPU. So first move would be to get something that is capable of running a 1080Ti, then upgrade the GPU at a later date. Question, does it have to be a latest gen I7? Or would a more modern I5 work? Is there a price difference. I'm on a bit of a tight budget, and whilst I'd love to splash out £500 plus on a CPU I just cant afford it at the moment. Then once I have upgraded my CPU I buy a new graphics card. What's the general opinion here? 1070, 1070Ti or the new 1660Ti, prices seem to be similar, or is it just a waste of money and I should sell one of my children and buy a new 1080Ti (joke just in case somebody works for social services, I wouldn't buy a new 1080). :) Saying all that, I look at Svsmokey's setup and he is running VR on a i5 3.2 ghz processor and a 1070 GPU, so in theory I could upgrade to a 1070 and on low it would work? lastly, and again bear with me here, I'm defiantly a newbie to this, can I buy jus the CPU chipset and plug it in? Or is this pointless and I should buy a new board. Thanks all.

Hey Svsmokey, Thanks for the reply. Can I just but a 1070 graphics card and plug it in? Or a 1080Ti if I could afford one. Does it have to be a Nvidia or can I use a MSI if one is available, how cross compatible are components? Sorry, new to all this and definitely want to go down the full VR route if it snot too expensive.#

Hi all, you'll have to excuse the silly questions, new to all this. I have an I5 4460 with a GTX 1050Ti, 16 gig ram and SSD. Will a Oculus rift CV1 work with this setup? Or should I buy a Track IR system. Cant really afford a GTX 1080ti and TBH I have no idea how to know what to buy and if it would work. Always had laptops so this is my first gaming (?) PC and have no idea about upgrades. Any advice gratefully appreciated. Thanks, Tim

Hi all, Updated to 1.5.8 today. When I open DCS word the mouse pointer arrow doesn't line up with the item underneath it. Example, if you want to exit the game you have to place the mouse arrow about 3 inches to the left and up from the exit button, it then turns blue and you can exit. If you put it over the word Exit nothing happens. Rather frustrating, Thanks, Tim

Hi all, Apologies if this has been covered before, I've had a look and can't find anything recent. When I build a mission and select satellite view the terrain is out of focus in most areas, as I zoom in it gets worst. I can't see a thing. Makes it a little hard to place units etc. Thanks Tim
