I'm in the 109. Thanks for the response... Using the F11 external camera seems to screw with it more than usual... Same flight from insode the cockpit and nothing else changed at the end after the crash... Close, but a different flight... Then, same track and from another view point, it was more like the original flight... I hope they get this sorted out... I'm amazed at how cool this sim is. Absolutely amazing!

Is there a "trick" to playing back the track files? I'm a noob and did my first flights last night, and wanted to view them using the F11 camera. But, when I viewed the track file, it was not the identical flight that I recorded... Sometimes it is different. I thought the track was simply a repeat of what was just recorded..

Thanks much, this thread appears very useful!

So, there is NO option to place a free camera where I want at any airfield? Is there only one camer at a given airfield? Can I place that camera as needed to get the right (multiple) angles for viewing TO and Landing?

All I want to do is the following: Create a mission for myself with a few strategically placed camera at an airbase so I can TO/land and view the track from several fixed views. This would seem like an easy thing to do but I have no experience with the editor and need some "focused" help... Can anyone lend a hand?

Looking for at least one of the 4 "small" springs used in the Warthog to repair my unit... Anyone? Have contacted TM but they are slow to respond... On a related note, anyone know how much TM charges for the spring and the PCB?

Been out of the loop since Flanker 2.0... Getting back in via CS 2.0. Great sim but where is the .pdf manual for the sim and each of the 10 modules I have... Main thing I'd like to do now is be able to place an exterior camera on the airfield so I can watch myself takeoff and land in a 3rd person POV... And just make a simple mission to take off at a given field with any given plane. Please help. Thanks.

Ha! Oh, I definitely go further back further than 8 years ago... I played the original Flanker also... Starting simming in 1983 when I was 12...

Yup I remember Flanker 1.0... It was state of the art then... Amazing how things have changed and I think the next 10 years will be even more dramatic...

Ok, Super Noob here... Last time I flew it was "Flaming Cliffs" about 8 years back... My understanding is that 1.5 will be sucked into 2.0 anyway "soon"... Starting with a totally clean machine... It sounds like to start having fun I need to: 1) Download 2.0 basic files (seems like theres been confusion on additional files, etc...) 2) Get inside 2.0 to download all the modules from within 2.0. 3) Keep downloading 2.0 updates as they come about and in a month or a few get Black Sea as an integral part of the 2.0 update since they will be combined. Is this right? Also, How many Gig is a fresh install of 2.0? How many GB on average for each module?

Hi all... I also have an Uber NXT2 and love it... But it's been like 8 years since I've flown with it so I need some help to get it going... Does anyone have any good Cougar files for DCS or know where I can get some? Do folks use Digital Foxy 4 or something else to program and load the files, etc...??

I searched all Forums for HomeFries and found no entries. Any other ideas. I'd be amazed if there aren't at least 1000 Cougar folks out there still using DCS...

It's been 8 years since I was last able to fly and I'm really excited about getting back into the groove. I'm looking for a "recent" sort of FAQ on the best way to go about getting started and getting all the right software installed, etc... Doesn't "Digital Foxy" go with the Cougar? I can't remember... Do I need to reflash hardware, etc...? Any tips for being successful? Basically from noob to expert on getting the Cougar stick and throttle back out of the box and getting it going with the least amount of frustration... Also looking for some well made Cougar files for DCS, (BOS and P3D too) if anyone knows where to get them... Thanks. Cavemanhead

Reliability and IQ first priority, then speed... Any recommendations for what you know works?

Wondering what kind of settings/framerates to expect with the subject hardware, and 16GB of RAM driving, and SSD, driving a 1920 x 1080 monitor...??? I typically like things no less than 50 FPS. Will I be there on 1.5?

When I try to purchase this map, it says I have $14 credit on my account. I'm assuming those are my "credits"... Yet, it says I can't apply any of that balance to this purchase. Does anyone know why?

Does the F-15 Flight Model use AFM or PFM? I think I've seen it both ways... Is it AFM for FC3 and PFM for DCS World 1.5/2.0?

Thanks for your help and responding so quickly!

I have $14 in my "bonus account"... What does this mean and how can I use it before it expires? I'd like to purchase the Mig-15... I assume my real out of pocket cost is only $5?

When I saw the video I asked myself "Where have I heard this guy before?... his voice sounds familiar"... Then it occurred to me and I had to laugh... It almost works too... Flight sim producer by day, and rocket scientist in the after hours...

What he does when he gets home at night...

I've got a 256 SSD and a 1 TB HDD. How much space on average does each plane module take over the DCS world base install? Can I leverage the 1TB slow HDD to store large files yet get the speed from the SSD by installing DCS World there where the OS is?

Well, I'm bummed. The sale said "4th to 14th". I ready that as midnight tonight (the 14th) was when I had to purchase. I started putting things in my cart at 9:30 pm CT, and see that I'm getting no discounts so the sale must be off. When will the next 50% off sale be?

I assume the huey is the best heli if oneis looking for a challenge and a helicopter that flies the most like a real chopper that requires lots of pedal action to keep it straight??? I'm much more into the pure flying fun than attacking things, etc...

What do I get when I buy the non STEAM version? Am I buying a "key" so that I can download anytime and multiple times (if I reformat or something)?
