Agreed. Very interesting...

Read the entire thread and I'm still not seeing a clear, definitive path to update 2.2OA to 2.5OB. I've never had 1.5.8. I Currently have 2.2 (that's it) and I want to go to 2.5. I don't care if it's a one way street. I tried the updater and it finds there's nothing to update. Now what?

Great post. Thanks so much for taking the time to document your findings. Appreciated!

I think the person posting the question is like me and looking for a quantitative answer of "x" GB more... I'm running out of disk space and trying to decide what to do once I go from 2.2 to 2.5.

Has there ever been a pre-purchase price bundle deal with a map and a plane? Would like to by SOH and F-18 at the same time, both discounted...

Are these sounds part of the latest update just released on Jan 5 2018?

So, still a bit foggy... It sounds like I simply install 2.5 on my Win 10 boot and use up an activation with my Win 10 boot, but I can leave the Win 7 Boot alone if I want to try out 2.5 using Win 7. How many activations do I get? It seems a bit odd to be using one up if I'm on the same PC and can't be using both dual boots at the same time. It would be great if the system were smart enough to allow me to uninstall on the Win 7 disk after confirming the Win 10 boot works ok - then crediting back my "activation" so I don't lose any. How do I know how many activations I have left for a given module?

So... What do I need to do? Uninstall on the one OS and reinstall on the other?

What if the new SSD has it's own OS via dual boot? I have DCS and all my modules on a Win 7 boot. I now have a dual boot to a new SSD that will be using Win 10 for DCS 2.5 Will this work? I don't care if I need to download all the files, but can I still have 2 versions installed on the same machine with 2 dual boot Operating Systems (Win 7 and Win 10)?

At this point, is Win 10 assumed to give slightly better performance in DCS than Win 7?

I've got 2.0 working well with all my modules in Win 7 on my PC. On this same rig, I've got a 500GB "blank" SDD that I want to put Win 10 and then load all my flight sims there in Win 10. BUT... I still want to boot into Win 7 to play my current install and go freely to the Win 10 boot and play there as well to make comparisons (FPS, etc...)? Is this going to work? Any things I need to know prior to setup?

I'd love to see an SR-71 or an X-15...

After reading this post, I had to think to myself: Why don't flight sim joystick calibration GUIs have a place to enter the length of the stick which automatically harmonizes the inputs to a spitfire (shorter stick = much less response to account for length)? The user could of course override this and change the curve profile, etc, but it would eliminate one of the largest variables to calibration and allow a sim fanatic with the actual stick to have dead nuts on performance to the real plane.

Agreed. Flight from NTTR to Vandenburg up the coast would be fantastic...

3 cheers for southern California... Would love to be able to fly from NTTR to Miramar...

I'm looking to optimize performance with a driver update; the driver I have is ~ 2 years old. I'm generally not one to grab the latest driver... Looking to get a "proven" driver with good performance... Any recommendations?

I use "beyond compare" and its an awesome program for easy synching... Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

So, I'd think the BK + a Jetseat is the way to go... Use the BK for the supper low freq vibrations and the JS to catch everything else... Or can both not be used at once? What does the JS offer that the BK doesn't already offer?

QFT - Right on...

I think NTTR looks wonderful but it still looks like it could be improved in some areas - to tweak out the wonderful base structure that's there... My dream is that an ORBX style company that specializes in scenery can chase behind the already great maps and improve them to perfection! That would be wonderful.

Okay, so the discussion seems to be about map size. What about graphical features and lighting, etc... Are they done? I thought the map itself was still Alpha/Beta...

Although I love to fly the 109 quite regularly, I gave up recording any flights since the tracks would not play back correctly. But, I've done 2 short flights now and both appeared to play back correctly. Is this a fluke or did it really get fixed?

FM: The "way" in which the plane feels when it flies. It has nothing to do with how easy the plane tracks or how nice it seems to fly etc... It's simply a measure of how well the flight envelope of the simulated plane tracks to the flight envelope of the real aircraft. That said, I (like 99.9% of the other folks on this forum) have no experience flying a Mig-21. I have flown several other GA planes and I'd say the FM is certainly believable for a Mig-21. The only thing that would appear to be "off" might be a lack of intertia about the roll axis (particularly noticeable at high speed). Assumption is that there should be more inertial effect on the roll -- and even more so if the plane is fully loaded (though I have not tried that particular test). I think the original post is misleading in the phraseology, begging unnecessary questions of the validity of the FM updates. But, I'd say there is some validity to the inertia/roll comments and it appears Dolphin has said there will be additional adjustments. Overall, this is a superb module. Thanks M3LLC!!!

Config is title of this post. Q: Do I need to do anything? Should I accept the update or not. Sorry to be a Noob here but I read the post and it wasn't clear. It almost reads like if you don't have Starforce, then don't update your Mig 21 module... Please clarify. Thanks.

Exactly what I was after!
