Yes, same here. Started 2.0 a few times with key copied from web store. Clicked module manager and it came up with hte F15 campaign install query.

Does a bomb load make any difference in the test?

CCR and DCS Vietnam. Very nice, thanks.

Just a thought after the difficulty with the NTTR alpha release - I wonder if some of the files could have been pre-released in batches for a couple of weeks beforehand. I know the software is being worked on up until release but there must be a proportion of files that are never going to change in that timeframe. Thoughts?

A quick google shows (hidden among the junk ) that the cure for this .dll error is to use another driver, as majapahit suggests. Worth a try, I think.

I had a similar problem with DCS after a new win7 install. I needed to completely update through Microsoft and install both old DirectX and new DirectX (last version 9 and current version) plus the various C++ versions. Somewhere in that lot it was fixed. I think Pikey may have mentioned doing this. Edit - this was shortly before 1.5 beta came out

Well, the OP did say it was forty years ago! I can barely remember what I did 40 minutes back...

Thanks, John. Nice flying skills.

That's an interesting idea for a mission, though. I've always thought that resupplying a unit/location in a combat situation (where the cargo you drop actually supplies the fighting units) could be a nice challenge - particularly considering the time it takes me to hook up.

Ahh! I assumed that the option was a cheat. Something that makes life easier in sims is usually a cheat! Good to hear we'll get more than the cargo1 option soon. Upuaut has done some nice work there.

Thanks Ophiuchus, Looks like I need to keep trying a bit more. I've tried multiple starts and pumping but obviously not enough! I did wonder if fuel flooding (rich from too much priming / starting attempts) is modeled?

I've been using MSFFB sticks for years so I can't comment on others but I agree the A10C AP is tricky. There's an easy mod to keep the forces on permanently (bit of tape over the sensor) but I've not tried that. I can say that slop in the MS stick is minimal, just enough for very small movements around the centre point, before hitting the resistance. If it had a longer modded stick I'd want to do something to eliminate that, if it was possible. I'd like to get the Warthog one day but really can't justify the cost. I'm still running an old C2D E8400 processor, which is perfectly adequate for most DCS stuff, and better since 1.5 but I know it'll struggle when there's more going on in the sim. Perhaps someone with a g940 can compare the two? I always reckon if there's something wild happening in my flights it's because I've got myself doing something that I shouldn't. Also, I find rudder use is a major cause of upset so using the trimmer option is better for me. Holding the twist grip 'just so' and trying to maneuver is a pain! I know... Pedals are the answer!

Following the video posted earlier I've been playing with sling loads, something I've never tried before. I made my own mission and worked out how to activate the loads, use the indicator and finally actually manage to pick up some cargo. Not quite got it put back down again properly (without damage) but that's just my impatience. I have to say it's a real challenge to start with. I use the rudder trim cheat and together with the autopilot that helps a lot. My MSFFB2 is great too. I wouldn't like to fly helis with a normal joystick. Every time I come back to the MI8 it seems to get better and better, so thanks, Belsimtek.

Hi All, Having finally worked out why take off was so hard (setting rpm at 2500 as per Wags video and not realising it governs itself lower) I'm really enjoying the 109K, but... First campaign mission is a simple cold start and taxi. Fine, but I can't start the engine manually, and auto start failed too. I tried it a few times. I got a few splutters but it won't run. I can start the 109 with no problems in my own simple missions, though. I did notice the temp is given at -2 Celsius in the campaign which is something that definitely made a difference in the old cars I've had. Anyone else having this issue? I know the campaign is not the most exciting but I thought i'd give it a go. I'm wondering if it's something that hasn't quite worked in the 1.5 update.

That's right. Doesn't cost anything and the Su25 is one the least resource hungry aircraft in the game. Just don't expect miracles and understand you'll only get to experience a limited part of DCS.

Looks like it's been fixed. DLC is available to me in game and on the website. Thanks!

Hi Looney, I've used my steam BS1 (originally bought in 2011 cheap on sale to use with BS2 upgrade) to allow the upgrade in 1.5 which worked fine. Your BS1 wasn't a Russian version (like several of us bought in 2008 ) of something else unusual ?

I'm unable to purchase the campaign also. I think the website and DCS are blocking me due to not having full BS2. It's more than a text warning, I think. Some people with the upgrade seem to have purchased, though. There's a thread in Payment and Activation.

Good to hear it's not just me. I'm sure it's an oversight (the upgrade isn't available to buy in the store now) and it'll be addressed soon.

Thanks for the reply. You're saying if I have BS2 I can buy the DLC but if I don't have BS2 I can't, yes? What I would like to know is whether the upgrade version should or shouldn't allow purchase. I'm not keen to buy the shark for a third time if I don't have to.

Hi, I'd like to buy the new campaign but at the moment I'm not able to use the 'buy' button. It seems that I need the full Black Shark 2 module not the upgrade which I have. Is this correct? Thanks.

MSFFB2 is a nice stick for DCS. You'll appreciate it in helos too. Note there is a small (but confusing) bug/feature with this stick that's crept in with 1.5 - I've made a bug thread that goes into the details and the workround. Wasn't me who did the clever bit!

I fly with an msffb2 and find the control stiffening very immersive. It's a nicely implemented effect that replicates what I've read about the real aircraft. I wouldn't want r/c style control inputs! So, thanks to yo-yo for the work he's done.

Thanks for your work on this Derk. Rep Inbound.

Hi Boris, thanks for posting. I'm thinking it might be just MSFFB2 with the problem. Hopefully we can have a fix.
