TYM sir. 1 rep point added from myself.

ok. i dont doubt anyones credibility by any standards, especially an ED tester. I just got a bit frustrated through the responses to what i had stated earlier. It has put me off some what in terms of personally seeking information here. Those very comments have produced further confusion within the posts. My only motive for being here is to seek information & learn. If constructive communication isnt whats on offer here for this delightfull product i will seek the information elsewhere. I would like to persevere though. now in an effort to get back on topic. nav unit under the abriss sends info to the HSI and ADI and the autopilot reads that ? or is it just hsi ? please lets get back on track with the earlier questions.. i have asked a closed question, i know. and if iam wrong in my latest assumption please inform me how the heck it works in an informative way..

i have no interest in taking this off topic further so here is my last word. I dont argue. i debate rationally. however i will complain where i think its justified. in your opinion iam wrong. i accept that. and my apologies to the mod tester. for me were all the same except the mod /tester has the info i need. the mod or tester does not have anything other to do than his job. going back on topic..... Autopilot recieves route information. Where does that info come from if you please. btw heres a new rule concerning open and closed questioning. 5. Never ask a mod a closed question unless u expect a one word answer without any discussion.

the high heels is what makes me laugh.. id rather not have to see this in my sim thanks.. LOL

GG Tharos i see u have 49 rep points. your "no its not" style of providng information is utterly despicable your no help here whatsoever. If i could id remove one of your rep points. thanks for constructivly telling us were noobs whilst were in a noob question thread seeking help. You have +10000 posts, why not make the rest of your posts beneficial and usefull for everyone apart from yourself. for every time u say no without an explanation, it open more questions for us noobs. so please stay away from noob threads because as i said earlier your no use whatsoever where learning anything here is concerned. edit: i had no idea when posting the above thread that you were a tester and moderator... which re emphasises my pov. ohh and im not so much of a noob, from fs95 through flanker and lockon i have been flying, its just that russian tech takes alittle bit more of unlearning what u know to learn what you need to know.

so what does it pass to the inu. just positional info ?

i take off. hover. get my bearings set direction. check instruments, remove hover choose forward speed, press into Route mode. the abbris is coupled to the inu, the ka50 takes me from one waypoint through to the next following the full waypoints 1-6, i never need to touch the cyclic stick for anything untill i land bar altitiude changes(collective input). fully functional autpilot. the abrris is not just a GPS. it passes the info to the inu for full directional auopilot control. 2 other question though, when flight director is selected does that disengage the auopilot function? or does it simply display the intended route to destination on the ADI. whilst flying in auopilot does FD mode then disengage the info between the abbris and inu. thus stopping the auto flight and requiring manual flight to destination?

well managed to get ports to show open and scanned proved they were open. i have added DMZ also. tonight. but my friend couldnt see it in the list yet again. so anyway enough is enough, flying the thing must prevail. earlier he hosted worked fine ports scanned as open. server showed full info in list. so now. his system setup unchanged was tested for some flight. the result was no info on the game browser what so ever. so just ended up joining via IP. flew flew and flew some more. when i exited the server i check in the browser. it showed the usual IP only no other info. i refreshed the listing and it showed full info. but he had shut the server down at that stage... so what kinda of delay is happening with the info in the ingame server browser ???? still i see evidence of some random port 42396. attached to my ip in the browse 10308 is open without a doubt.

ok im back and im calm now. were getting somewhere. having missed the port scanner link someone kindly provided. it turns out this 10308 isn't open even though my router says it is.. deary me. what ever is goin on... disabled windows firewall now (prev test was with ports added there. disabled router firewall (previous test was with ports added) i have tested everything. through pc flank, it tells me my 10308 is stealthed and decription for that suggest firewall is hindering access to the port. what other firewall is there lol ? i know now its not this software etc its definetly a problem at my end. my friend vekiq has got it workin great :)

eyp, here is specific link for me and my router. http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/BT/BTHomeHub/Lock_On_Modern_Air_Combat.htm this is exactly what i did on day 1. i do this exact same method for all my games and whatever services i use. not one problem ive ever had before through doing exactly as this page link tells me. ive been to that website hundreds of times i know it like the back of my hand, leme tell you politely " it does not work". im 34 yrs of age. ive been doing this for damn ports for atleast 10 years. what i see on the server after exiting and then refreshing list to see whats exactly there, is this my 86.xx.xxx.xx :53947. (yes ive bloody well opened that too) with no game info whatsoever. and im not the only one of these listed on this lobby browser"thing". WTF is 53947 ? ive suggested in game server settings 10308. its not even cleared of the server after ive exited my server attempts ,why is that? i propose either my regional country IP code for some reason is not allowed. or its broken. and where 53947 port number comes from only DCS can tell me. but there lack of being here sorting it out is nearly makin me not enjoy this sim. ive spent equal time faffing around than i have playing the sim. i know i sound angry now and it wont help things but wow im so frustrated. <goes to light a FAT DOOB and chill out>

given up now. IF i have done somthing wrong i accept. but considering what i have done and my experience with ports and hosting etc. This stuff is broken big time. this utter poo system for matching ip's, im sure i read only an estimated 5% of DCS users venture anywhere near online. is this the reason for the shoddy system with lack of support and general help from dcs in the forums etc....

guilty as charged ! wow im such a forum noob here, i do now have full understanding of where everything is now. i did this with the multiplayer section too. my apologies. iam however lookin for catagorised missions. and explicitly multiplayer missions. for some reason i thought there might be a DCSfiles.com style area or such. but i guess it'll come soon.. or via lockonfiles etc etc

much the same for myself., another of the old crew here brought back to life once again. i gave up during lockon,s release and the few months aftermath. It killed the whole flightsiming for me (just an opinion through feeling the software was broken) _____ was my first username for anything to do with siming. gaming. or even being online with a nickname. i bought my first PC to play helicopter sims. that was 10 years ago now. there were a few that were allright, i forget there names. Gunship was ok but even before that there was couple which inspired my notions.. then came apache havoc, commanche hokum games. wow that was it for me my alter ego was secured i was _________ The fact is between those days and now im such a changed person yet im re kindling the very first notions i had to get into this crazy world of simming. The difference this time round is that for me this is the combat heli sim i wanted back then.. I remeber taking part in a developer chat with the likes of matt wagner one evening on hyperlobby. With my friend nick named shark and what we remeber of it was that we in effect begged them to make a helicopter simulation when asked what views we the community have upon what there direction may be. i dont believe for one second that is was me or my friend that caused this sim to happen in its conceptualisation. But from my point of view. these guys listened to atleast 2 people out there. To end my lil speechfest i would just like to thank the ED team enormously for what they have provided here. Thank you very much. this whole situation for me is priceless.

TY. i shall bookmark that for future use ;)

Wheres the place to be for obtaining user made missions these days... ive not been a flghtsimmer for 5 years now. point me in the right direction and ill fly away to get some pronto, id be ever so gratefull.:pilotfly: by the way its good to be back and specifically for the release of this mighty fine piece of simulation software. Its certainly brought me out of the woodwork where flightsims are concerned. is back. and he still loves the sound of choppers in the morning.

I was wondering if i was able to puchase BS and then gift it to a friend. External link for download possible ?. Website doesn't allow download without purchase confirmation. I realise i could direct my friend to some dodgy torrent site. Intended as a gift i think that would kinda ruin it... i realise ive answered my own question at this stage. If this could be possible at some stage my friend and I would be happy chappy's :music_whistling:

not sure about combined view with mouse click feature. some think its a bug that it doesnt work together. i think its not a bug. but what is missing is a command to move them in unison. TrackIR users wouldnt be happy with mouse view working at the same time as clickable mouse function.

so how does that affect TrackIR 4 users then? surely there not going to use view combined with clickable mouse. what im saying is there is the option to seperate them for use with track IR but no defined controller to simulate them together. is it really a bug that they arnt working in unison... or a bug that through some flook has appeared to make them work together....

left side ALT key + C

mouse view only works when not in clickable cockpit mode. correct ?

my native was 1152x864, frame rates nearly trebled moving to 1600x1200. bizzare. possible bottleneck effect going on i think with the cpu.

after adding ports 10307 &10308 it still doesnt work :( my friend can see the IP listed with no other game information available. rest of the fields are blank.... and from the list he is unable to join. but Via IP it connects without issues.

Is it not possible to employ easy avionics settings whilst retaining the key mappings set for "real" controller assignment settings. i want autopilot functions when online together with the easy targeting system.. it seems not possible.. ive spent probally around 4 hours tonight trying to get it figured out... any suggestions. i realise easy avionics means easy this that and the next, but i was so hoping to simply have easy targeting whilst keeping everything else fully simulated... !!!!

TYVM sir. and i totally missed that forum area. cheers:thumbup:

yes i sure did...
