Same problem here and with Windows 11. I'm quite new to PCs, being primarily a mac user, so what are GUIDs, where are they, and how would I export them and to where? I spent a long time binding joystick buttons and I'd hate to have to configure them all again. Simple steps please as I'm getting old as well!

I think I get it now. Nothing is simple round here is it? I've done quite a bit of supporting for this game already!

Can you clarify: It says: "Your existing DCS: Normandy 1944 map will be updated for free so that the whole area of the original map is in the same high-detail as in the DCS: Normandy 2.0." Then it says: "If you wish to, you may pay $14.99 USD to upgrade to DCS: Normandy 2.0 for all the benefits described above." So what do you get for $14.99 that isn't in the free update in the first sentence? Confused - again!

Thanks guys. Got it now. Seen George in action on Youtube too. AH-64 will be next on my shopping list!

This might sound like a daft question, but how does a 2 seat aircraft, such as the AH-64 or F-14 work in DCS, when there's only one player? You can't be in both seats at once!

Well I'm glad to have been of help to someone then! Meanwhile my problem is solved: My USB hub had gone bad on me. I tested it by plugging straight through, which worked. Now it's gone completely. Not had it that long either. Very annoying. It was the fact that nobody else had experienced this that made me think hardware. Ok thanks everybody.

Thanks. Looks like I'll have to bite the bullet and raise a ticket then...

Hello! Are we saying that you can't use the mouse wheel to turn knobs like you can in the Blackshark?

None at all? Oh dear. Perhaps it's a binding issue that Eagle haven't mentioned? Perhaps it's me getting it wrong again?

Good to have seen this thread. If this happens to me I'll know what to do. By the way, are we talking about the X-52 or the X-52 PRO? I've got both and wondering what is best for the Hornet.

Just starting out in the F/A-18. For some reason, the scroll wheel has no effect when trying to rotate the knobs (even though the correct icon appears over them). I'm having to use the mouse buttons instead. Any ideas guys?

Thanks. That's going to come in very handy I think.

I'm pretty new to this as well. Just jumped into this plane. Looks good to me. The only trouble with clickable cockpits is that sometimes you have to take your eyes off what you're concentrating on, especially if the switch is near the floor or behind you somewhere. I found this with the Blackshark. One thing I've learned with DCS is that you need patience. I found It can take weeks before your flights stop ending upside down on the ground. But you eventually get the hang of it and it's ultimately a rewarding experience. I didn't know about the backspace key in the training missions. What does it do?

I wish they'd said that on their website. Oh well, I've gone for the F/A-18 now. Should be fun.

Time to get the credit card out then. Trouble is, the A-10C module seems to have been deleted in favour of something else, and the F/A-18 is now being advertised as an 'early access' version. Not really sure why that is or what it means as I thought it had been around for a couple of years. Has anyone got it?

All very frustrating!.This is a very strange company!

I too was hoping for a Spring/Easter sale. Having been persuaded by yourselves to finally upgrade to 2.6, and having bought an SSD to install it on, there's not much cash left for full-price planes. You've been doing Spring (or whatever you're calling them) sales for as long as I can remember, so what's gone wrong this year?

Ok guys. It's working now and v2.5 is up and running. Not the easiest program to use as it has 2 settings buttons, only one of which does anything. Also, the only way I could get it to update to 2.xx was by using the advanced settings tab. I would have thought that updating was one of its basic functions. Still, I figured it out. Just Judging by the appearance of the planes in v2, it was all worth the trouble! But why do DCS make things so difficult? Thanks for all your patience.

Was told (by DCS themselves) that you can install v2.5 to an external SSD. The question is how? It doesn’t give me the option. It just goes ahead with the C drive and then tells me there isn’t enough space, which is why I want to put it somewhere else. Please help. My shiny brand new 1TB drive is feeling rather left out!

Sorry I didn't make that clear. I have DCS 1.5.8 at the moment. There isn't enough room to upgrade to 2.XX. So i want to start from scratch and install it on an external volume. That sound like the best way to go at the moment. I may be wrong (and probably am). It looks like there isn't a Thunderbolt 3 interface, so it will have to be USB 3.1

Hi all. This is something I'm going to have to do since there's less than 100GB left on my HD. So a few questions: Is it as simple as buying an external SSD, plugging it in, then following the instructions in the previous posts above? Do you need to prepare the drive in any way, other than making sure it's formatted for Windows? Do you need to put assigns or anything like that in there to make it work? Would a Thunderbolt 3, 1TB type be sufficient? Any help greatly appreciated!

This might sound like a silly question, but can newer missions be edited in the mission editor and backsaved for older versions?

Fixed!!! Thank you.

I don't think there's enough HD space. What are new clouds?

Brilliant. Thanks. Came back to this sim after a long absence. I was sure there were training missions before!
