Multiplayer crashes frequently at the moment, and CA is still beta so some features are missing. We are all really just waiting for 1.2.3. CA will be worth it though, I'm sure! :)

FC3 is delayed indefinately! They already announced a change in priorities. The next priority is another new update for DCS World. I'm guessing no FC3 until atleast Christmas.

Thanks, but I'd prefer to 'review' it myself! :joystick:

Not to mention, I would like to enjoy some good FC3 time within this year or so. I'm engaged to be married next summer! Things are seriously getting complicated!!:cry:

Oi... So they've gone from supposed to be released last month, to there being a slight delay into this month, and now a hint that FC3 isn't even the top priority??? (They are working for an even newer patch for DCS World, even though we just got a pretty good patch already). Arghhh, sorry, but I'm pretty dissappointed/anxious here... I just want to dogfight with some sweet jets in DCS World. I've had my credit card ready to pull the trigger on this for nearly two months!

Oh great, as if DCS World wasn't clunky enough...

How about a Saturday night release? It'll be an industry first! :thumbup:

Interesting. Which version of VC is control panel showing now? I saw windows update trying to sneak in a VC update as well. But I have it unchecked and I'm not going to allow it to update.

My sentiments exactly. :pilotfly: Put the pre-order up. My credit card is here and waiting. :)

I actually can't say 100% how this package fixed my problem. I should say it was in my opinion that it fixed something with the Visual C++ on my system, but I don't know for sure how all of this really works. All I know is that after I have successfully installed the DirectX SDK package, my sim is still holding stable and crash free. None of my other games have had crashing problems, but this sim seems to require special attention for some reason. I'm just wondering now what other game I have affected by uninstalling a more recent version of Visual C++ that was already on my computer for some reason...

Problem solved!! The problem does indeed appear to be with a bad installation of the Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 redistributable. The thing is that the Visual C runtimes repair utility provided in Nate's sig didn't do the trick in solving this crashing problem for me. Instead I downloaded the Jun 10 DirectX SDK (DXSDK_Jun10.exe) from here: http://www.microsoft.com/en-ca/download/details.aspx?id=6812 It is a massive 571mb download, but worth it! I let it install the whole shabang, and when the installation got to the part where it was installing visual C++, it encountered an error code and wouldn't complete the installation. I googled the code and found out that I had to uninstall any versions of Visual C++ more recent than 10.0.3019, which I found and uninstalled a version that was 10.0.4*** on my sysem. I then re-ran DXSDK_Jun10.exe and the installation was successful this time. Rebooted the system and have been playing extensively for 2 days while being unable to reproduce this once fairly common crash. The sim is stable! Bring on FC3!!!! :joystick: What tipped me off to installing the SDK package was SOTkungfu's postings in this thread last month where he too fixed the same crashing problem. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=92673 Install the Jun10 SDK, not just the runtimes!

Is this random crash some of us are experiencing going to addressed in the next update for DCSW? http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=93551

Join the club. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=93013 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=93551 Post your dxdiag too, to help them fix this for us.

Roger that. Included my dxdiag in here as well. I can't think of anything special I was doing. The first one happened while I was flying the A-10C maverick training mission. I wasn't following the instructions and was engaging the targets with guns. The second and third occurred randomly while flying the SU-25T single mission where you have to destroy the command post. One after a long while as I was almost back at homeplate, the other after only 10 minutes into the mission during egress. crashlogs.rar

There isn't a problem with the folder. Lot's of people are having this same crash. See the other thread. I just tried this, and had the same crash again.

I'm getting the same crash. Pretty random. The first one flying the A-10c during Maverick training. The other while I was RTBing in SU25T after a flight in the strike on the command post single mission. DCS-20120828-154128.crash.txt DCS-20120828-235225.crash.txt

In multiplayer servers with full realism, when we eject our view should stay with the pilot and not immediately go to the external airport view. Only if the pilot dies should the view be taken away from the action.

Yup, it's called hyper-realism, and is essential for desktop sims IMHO.

I'm a private pilot in real life since 2003. I fly a Piper Cherokee. But I'm not that obsessed with planes like I was when I was a kid. I think about other things too. ;)

All you need to do is download the file from the thread I'm posting below and follow the simple instructions included in the zip. http://www.forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=75917 It was just put together 2 days ago, and it works great! :joystick: EDIT! I just found out by reading that thread that you don't even need the Freetrack wrapper apparently. So just try what Sam says to do in this post. It should be even simpler. http://www.forum.lockon.ru/showpost.php?p=1231161&postcount=9

You make a Freetrack headset/system. Wags just released the headtracking API so now Freetrack works with 64bit DCS. My Freetrack works just as well as TrackIR, 6 degrees of freedom and all. All I did was buy a webcam, and rig three LEDs. Barely costed me $50. Plus, if something goes wrong, I can fix it myself. Full lifetime warranty. ;)

Works flawlessly. Thanks again.
