Hi all, I currently have 2.5.6 installed, not the open beta. Can I install the open beta 2.7 in parallel or would it be wise to remove the 2.5.6 version first? Thanks for a quick heads up. Regards Chris

Well, you say that it is not worth the upgrade due to the rather low performance increase of 15% but you recommend to increase the OC from 4.4 to 5.0GHz, which is exactly the same range (14% increase), yet not every 2700K is capable of running at 5.0GHz and the so called "proper cooling" would basically mean a custom water cooling solution which is A) not that easy to install and B) not that cheap.

Now I managed my first splash online and then my DCS crashed. What a pity. Is there anywhere I can check if I really got one?

Ok, I will try. Thanks

Ok, makes sense, thanks for the heads up. Another stupid beginner question: my Mig 29 always shows the same image I have on the hud also on the little screen where I have the radar image in the Su 27, how can I change this?

Stupid beginner question: in my key assignment menue, I can select from three different Mig 29, however, all I have been sitting in so far ingame was the Mig 29A. There are key assignments for a Mig 29S and a Mig 29G, but how can I fly them? And why the heck I have to adjust my "HOTAS" assignments three times for the same aircraft?

I see. Then something else I would like to clarify: after I shot down some planes, I landed my Su-27 successfully back on Krasnodar Center, I taxied back to the parking position, turned off everything for refuel and new ammo and bang, I was back on the "select role" tab. So, it is not intended to refuel and reload on the ground?

Ok, got it working now in a folder different from those with the campaign files in it. Great work. Last question: if I select F4 for an easy Air to Air mission, I then can only continue like this? I was not able to select a "hard" air to air mission afterwards, only the option "another easy air to air mission" was available.

Does it matter, where I put those files? I did simply put them into the same folder the .miz files of the FC3 campaigns were located.

Ehm, the STEAM version of DCS World is currently 1.5.5, which is exactly the same as the standalone version if I am not completely mistaken?

I am a little bit ashamed by asking this, but how do I install this "endless mission" properly? I simply copied the files into the FC3 mission and campaign folder, but this was obviously wrong, as I can not select the mission inside DCS. I use the STEAM version. Any help appreciated...

ein mini-ITX Mainboard? Ernsthaft? Was hast Du aktuell für ein Gehäuse resp. für eine Kiste?

Guys, I just spent some minutes online on the BlueFlag Server Wednesday and I totally failed. I am sorry for this, I should have chosen a training server for my first online experience. Just that you know, this was not on purpose...

Well, again an issue, this time with the Su-33 mission 3. I shoot down what I can, but so far each time I ran this mission (about 5 times already...), one of those F-14 somehow is buggy, it floats about 2m above sea level some 4nm away from the vessel and is indestroyable. All other planes are eliminated, the Su-25 destroyed all ground targets and yet the mission is a failure. Why?

Ok, thanks for clarification. I will now try to eliminate those F-16 before I call the Su-25 to start their attack. Maybe this was the issue. However, if the F-16 were busy with the Su-25, they were easy targets ;-) BTW: I use the STEAM version of DCS World, might be that some updates are delayed there?

This means? If I am still struggling with mission 2.5 now, I can not download the fixed campaign from frostie? Or is the DCS World v1.54 just about to be released? Sorry for those questions, but I am kinda confused...

I have a similar issue with the Su 27 campaign. Now I just "finished" the third time in a row mission three (you have to escort some Su 25 and fight against F-16). Each time, I successfully eliminate all threads, the Su 25 start bombing, they report hits and then thats it. The Su 25 return home, I return home and nothing else happens. If I finish like this, the next mission is again the same. What goes wrong? What do I need to do to successfully finish mission 3 instead of shooting down all three F-16, escorting the Su 25 for their bombing and returning home? Strange...

So still "see-through" trees mostly? Game breaker, immersion killer. Point. I will still have to wait for my return to DCS then, never got used to this annoying fact back with Black Shark and I was really looking forward to DCS 2.0 using finally "non-see-through" trees. What a bummer...

I really really hope that the trees in DCS World 2.0 will be solid or at least non-see-through for AI air defense and such as it is now. When this will be granted, I am all back in for another round of Black Shark or other things. As long as AI can see through trees, I wait...

Well, actually the developers always point out that the KA-50 was not especially designed like that and that you can still use landscape and buildings to hide. Right. But the thing is, that the AI is able to detect you while you are NOT. That is the point. It is not even only about hiding, I could live with the fact, that a AA gun can fire THROUGH a forest and hit me. BUT, I can definately not live with the fact, that I have a disadvantage just because there is no option for me to see an AI AA in a forest exept in turning off trees. Well, maybe I have to wait another year for this new "engine", obviously the main part of the BS community can deal with this fact...

As I said, the most important thing would be, that the AI can not "see" through the trees, I actually do not even bother, whether the trees are collidable or not, but "seeing" through and firing on me without giving me a chance to see them is a no-go and actually ridiculous...

I pick this one up as I am going to give my DCS:BS and DCS:World another chance. BUT: if I read correctly, there is still nothing done about the trees? For me, the more important question is: can the AI still "look" through forests as in DCS:BS 1.0? If yes, I will instantly cancel my plan of trying BS again, because that is still the biggest immersion killer ever and an absolute no go for a chopper sim. I understand, that making trees "solid" does not work with this engine, but "seeing" through is actually worse. Several times I got shot down by a unit hidden behind trees and while I was not ABLE to see it, it was and shot at me. Bummer. For a regular plane such as the A-10 or the Su-25t, I will give a try, probably it is not so obvious there. I just wonder, why the Series is further and further developed, new modules appear, updates are done, people buying it and still, this major drawback persists. Remains a mystery to me...

It was a thread in this forum, cant find it anymore. But the guy there refers to a thread on simhq.com, here you go: http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/2643164/Searchpage/1/Main/278234/Words/lua+replacement/Search/true/More_Realistic_Labels.html#Post2643164 All credits to the person who was developing this new labeling system regards Chris

Well, after a while using the "new" label system provided by a user here in the forum, I started to enjoy flying the missions again. Although not realistic, at least some times the labels helped me in "spotting" hidden AAA's and SAM's. Still missed some and realized them only when staring in a smoke trail right in front of me, obviously bringing the mission to a sudden end :D

Thanks, but this still does not help. The problem persists even if I take extra care of not getting to close and "clean" the area... Still have the problem, that even with searching the area with the Shkval does never reveal ALL hidden SAMs, and as mentioned, if there IS one hidden behind trees/buildings, I AM NOT ABLE to see them, but THE SAM still sees me and worse, fire at me through the trees.
