Thanks Flappie! That worked! The lesson learned is to call it “SINAIMAP_terrain”.

Gents, Tried to install Sinai map for the server, but I keep getting “module not found SINAI_terrain”. I am running the install command after the updater.exe and it doesn’t take. I’ve even purchased it on the account I am using to sign into the server, but still doesn’t work. I’m pretty sure you don’t need to buy the terrain for that to work, but I wanted to try it anyway. Any ideas? Thanks!

Sorry yes VAICOM.

Gents, Can't seem to figure this one out. So I have the WInwing F-16 throttle. I setup the comm switch in DCS to be like it is on the handle. VHF forward and UHF backward. I then setup the forward VHF to be TX1 and the UHF to be TX2 in Voiceattack. When I setup up UHF for the tanker for example, it transmits over UHF and you can see the light in DED light up and you can see the call go out in the upper left asking for "approaching to refuel". However I get no response. When I transmit on VHF though I see the VHF light up on the DED but the response comes through the UHF side and that lights up. So I'm stumped! What setting am I missing? Any ideas??

Need some assistance trying to Host at home. I finally figured out how to open the specific port on my router (had to create static IP) and I have two separate DCS accounts with separate module purchases. I can host a mission on my desktop and my friends can see me, however when I try to join from my laptop on the same network I can see the mission just fine, but when I click on it the "Connection to Server" window pops up where you put in the IP and password. The IP address is that of my desktop (again static now) but when I click enter it appears to load for like half a second, but then backs out the same connection window. Any ideas?? Something I'm missing? Thanks!

I am having trouble getting the port 10308 to open on my router. I have the netgear XR500 router and I am hardwired into it for my desktop. I use Spectrum for my ISP and my speeds are great. The issue is when I go into the port forwarding setting of my router I set it to the internal IP address of my computer which is 192.168.1.22. I setup the port I want to open and hit apply. When I go to check with a port checker it keeps saying that it is closed. I even tried setting up the internal IP address to static in windows and that didn't help either. I am at the end of my rope here and can't think of anything else to try. I tried calling support for the router, but the girl on the phone could only walk me through the process of port forwarding (which I already know) and not how to troubleshoot. I don't think my external IP address from Spectrum is static. Does that make a difference? Any help would be appreciated!!

Unfortunately in the Orbi there isn’t a setting for that. It does have a built in firewall but there isn’t a way to turn it off. I think the only way for me to do this is going to be buy a new modem and then use the Orbi as air drops instead of a router. I do have a lot of friends I fly with with the Xfinity routers and they have all ran into that same issue you described.

I have been trying to find an answer to this for weeks. I have a netgear modem with the Orbi router (best wifi in the house!) but when I go to host a multiplayer no one can see me. I've tried to open the standard port 10308 but still nothing. Do I need a static IP in order to do this? Every time I play with the guys and check my IP is always seems to be the same, but I have a feeling it's still considered a dynamic IP. Also the IP in the orbi settings under the port forwarding tab starts with 192.168 and isn't the same as my actual IP. Is that the issue?? I would like to be able to host missions when the other guys can't but for the life of me I can't figure this out. Please help!!

The TGP will lase when you are in Auto mode. The reason it does it down to 10 seconds to impact is to give the weapon more energy before it starts guiding on the laser. GBU-10s and 12s work with guidance where the fins are moving full deflection when tracking a laser, losing a ton of energy in the process. Most pilots wait for 10 seconds to impact so the bomb is streamlined in the air at 400 knots until then.

My squadron mates were doing some training with it tonight and we think they messed with the TGP in preparation for the ground attack radar. It’s similar to when they were going to release the super carrier, the update right before that messed up the normal carrier ops. It is definitely frustrating but not unusable. I’ve heard the 3rd of June update is supposed to release the radar, so maybe then it will be fixed.

You don't have to watch the whole thing, but in the beginning there is some discussion on the time it takes to build modules. It's all about man hours. What may seem simple to us, could actually be a very complex, challenging task. Not saying you have to like it, but waiting is all we can do.

Sorry I was mistaken, it's actually the R2. Haven't flown with it in a while and thought I had the original one. This is the updated version from the original Pm Sent

It's the R1 for the original Cougar base. It's already installed and works great. I do have the other version, but I'm keeping that one. :)

Ok awesome, thanks man!

I have one I could sell you if you are still interested.

I'll be your huckleberry. I have a brand new one I've never used. $110 plus shipping

I have a brand new Virpil T-50 throttle (with detent) and a T-50CM throttle without the detent. Let me know.

I have a brand new one I could sell ya.

Gents, I am looking to get some recommendations for a decent computer to run a server for our squadron. I was thinking a i7-7700, 64G 2400 RAM, a couple of SSDs and a low end video card. I have seen some talk about using a Xeon processor, but is it truly needed for DCS? We will use the server for a couple of missions online with maybe 10 people online at the same time at the most and also use it to run SRS and also our squadron website. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I've never tackled this before and want to get something that will be future proof for the next 10 years or so. I also have a X299 Dark with a 7820X and 64 G of ram I could use, but after doing some research that feels like overkill for a server for just DCS? Thanks! Panic

I know the post is old, but I still have everything on this list for sale. PM me if interested. I also have a X299 DARK motherboard and a I7-7820X processor and 64G 3200 Ripjaw V DDR4 RAM.

Kate, Thanks for the update. I'm sure with everything going on in the world now it's not easy to maintain your schedule. I can't express enough how much enjoyment the sim has brought and look forward to all ED has to offer in the future! Keep up the great work! v/r Panic

Copy that, I will give that a whirl. Thanks for the help!

Has anyone else experienced a issue when locking a target and when the cursor moves off the target the lock drops? I experience this most in RWS but have also seemed to experience it in TWS. Doesn't seem to happen all the time though, and is hard to figure out exactly what might be causing it.

So in the software I would not see the spike. It was only in the sim. I did another test flight the other day and I couldn't duplicate the issue. I will keep an eye on it. I didn't set the offset because it seems to be working normal now. I will keep an eye on it and let you know if it changes. Thanks for the help!!
