Thank you, I’ll have a go at the YouTube video. I have checked my joystick and it seems ok. I’ve reduced the roll, pitch and rudder curves to 20 from 25. I’ve already tried 15 but it didn’t help. Unless you mean something else to check or change? Cheers Rick

Well, Idk and I am pulling my hair out with it. I just cannot stop the thing from going into an uncontrollable left hand spin! I’m in the training missions and doing exactly what the voice says, but as soon as I try to climb it all goes tits up! The rudder is trimmed to the centre of the bubble, but no matter how much aileron trim I put in it still pulls wildly left and eventually I just have to accept my fate. Has anyone else had this? Has anyone else found a solution, because afaik this thing just seems too unstable to be flyable. I know I’ve got a lot to learn but this one is ridiculous! Please help! Cheers Rick

Thank you guys

Thanks for the speedy reply mate. How exactly do I rollback to the stable version please?

Hi, I hope I’m not duplicating anything here. Running the new patch 2.5.6 on i7 6700k, 32gb ram much storage space! GTX 1080 GPU. Last week I was getting regular FPS of between 40-80 even in the F16/F18. Now - single figures! The SU25T only returns a max of approx 30fps. I’ve YouTube'd the arse out of this. I've reinstalled nvidia drivers, run them at their default all to no avail. I’ve used Wags' settings in game - no change! I’ve used Spudknockers settings both in game and in the nvidia settings with all sorts of variations - no change! I’ve rolled them vivid a drivers back to the previous version (*.75) - no change! It seems that as soon as I am not running the default aircraft (SU25T) the sim craps out and is unplayable! Any ideas anyone? There’s a lot of money invested in the sim what with addons and it’s simply unusable atm. Cheers Rick Call sign Aries.

My point exactly! Anyway, it’s done now and ED won’t help out with it so I will hang on to my money until the next sale and get it then, as long as there’s a decent discount. If there isn’t then I won’t, simple!

Thanks mate, looks like I haven’t lost out on that at least!

I attempted completion longer than 1.5 hours ago though. Also, I personally have not known online sales that finish at end of business day in whatever country the developer is in, normally it is the physical end of day ie 2359 hours. Thanks anyway for the information about Moscow.

Thanks very much. Luckily, I had brought my old pc out of retirement (been using MacBook) when I first became aware of dcs not too long ago, and discovered it wouldn’t work properly before installing DCS. I did though, install it on my sons pc under my username, but only the base download and not the bargain a10 with Combined Arms which I bought from Amazon beforehand. So, I may well do nothing with those until I get myself another pc, and if I have to deactivate the base DCS then I shall do so. Cheers all. Rick

Thanks mate, well, lesson learned for next time I suppose. I’m certainly not buying it on Steam as it will restrict me like you say. I did genuinely believe that the sale was on until the end of today though. Maybe something for ED to make clearer in future sales if there will be time cutoffs on the dates they state the sale is running. Thanks again, looks like I’m keeping my money for now. Cheers Rick

I agree! I thought it was until the literal end of today.

If I buy it on Steam though, doesn’t that mean I can only use it via Steam and not my standalone download of DCS outside of Steam?

Gang, wtf is going on - I put the av8b into my basket earlier today at the sale price, but didn’t checkout at that point. I’ve just gone into the cart and the price has doubled! I thought the sale was on until the end of today! Is there any appeal to ED about things like this does anyone know? Cheers Rick

Thanks guys, “Yes” his pc is plenty fast enough! How many activations are we allowed then? If I subsequently deactivate one, then am I credited that activation back? Cheers Rick

Hi, My pc is kaput! Until I’ve got the funds to put another one together, I was thinking of using my sons pc for DCS & maybe purchasing one or more aircraft now there is a sale on. Is this possible for me to use and run DCS on my sons pc, then as and when I get one of my own, for me to install and run on that one? I do not intend to try to run DCS on both at the same time btw. Cheers Rick

Cheers

Mate, we've obviously got different standards and expectations. I can see your point as the damage to the soft ground does actually look a bit cratered but the runway looks like someone’s rubbed it with a charcoal pencil as opposed to having made a bloody big hole in the tarmac / concrete! Thanks for the images anyway, but to my mind it needs more.

Hi and thanks. I made the point about cratering on ru ways as I’ve watched many, many videos and whilst the cpbombs do indeed explode, there doesn’t appear to be left behind a cratered runway. I appreciate the answer though and am still looking for a call Sign!

Hi everyone, Firstly my apologies if this is in the wrong forum section -admins/mods please feel free to move to the correct section if applicable. I've spent many enjoyable hours watching DCS on YouTube, with the.ikesof the Grim Reapers conducting their various missions. However, what ruins the immersion are a couple of things such as when seeing an aircraft “hit” by a missile that is still sailing past it in the sky and when runways are cluster bombed but still appear unscathed when viewed afterwards. I’m sure it’s very involved to programme these things in, but not impossible as environment damage has long been a feature in gaming. I know that the vehicles are seen destroyed and flaming but wouldn’t it be great to raid the enemy’s airbase and render it inoperable for takeoff/landing due to the runway being more pitted than a teenager with Acne! Standing by to be shot down! Cheers Rick (No call sign still trying to work one out / open to suggestions)

...also, in hindsight, just to say I'm a lot happier about it having got it in writing now from ED support that it could be done this way. Thanks again everyone for all your help. Cheers Rick

Hi Red and the gang! Just got this back from ED support after I sent them the links to the products;- “Yes, you can purchase it, but note it's a old not updated copy. You have to bind the key to your ED account, then download the last version of DCS World and download your modules via Module manager Please read here https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/400/#2164689 Best regards and many happy landings !” So, I've now ordered it from Amazon.de and it's winging its way here with much money saved! Woohoo! Just got to follow the key binding and update procedure, so I suppose I wont even need to physically install the dvd.

Just heard back from ED with the standard response Dear users! Only DCS World keys purchased from these locations are valid purchases and can be activated in the Module Manager: DCS E-Shop Steam Heatblur Store 1C, Gamazavr and YuPlay in Russia Acealpha in South Korea Any DCS World keys purchased from other sources are invalid and are simply trying to re-sell keys that are bound to other users or purchased through fraud. Such sites include Kinguin, CDExpress and G2A. If you purchase DCS World keys from these sites, we cannot help you. We suggest you contact these sites for a refund. So, I've re-queried them as these are legitimate boxes from Amazon.de & grooves-inc.co.uk so I cannot fathom why ED would not honour these purchases.

Thanks. Yes, I submitted a ticket via the main website so I will update this once I hear back from them.

Thanks guys much appreciated. I think I will check with ed support like you suggested. Just to be on the safe side. Do they monitor the forums does anyone know?

Hi everyone, I hope this is the right section to post this question, but if not then please mods move it to the correct one if you would. In short, I've seen it is possible to purchase the (German (DE) edition) A10C Warthog extended edition including Combined Arms for around £15 -£16 from both Amazon Germany and some UK sites. This is obviously far cheaper than purchasing from the DCS website, but if I were to purchase it would it simply install into DCS or would I need to download the individual modules and enter activation keys? It's interesting that Amazon UK no longer sell the Warthog DVD/CD whereas it's readily available in Continental Europe. Cheers Rick
