Strange hardware you have. Nobody looses activations by changing video drivers.

Options -> gameplay -> F10 view options: allies or all. It's in the pdf GUI manual, around page 25.

Look at the filenames... setup.exe setup-1(2).bin (the 2 means duplicated, what did you do here?) setup-1.bin.part (the part means has not finished downloading) And it has to be: setup.exe setup-1.bin setup-2.bin If you don't delete the ones you have now, the new ones may appear with the "(2)" attached, meaning they will be duplicated, and the installer won't work, so delete the files you downloaded before download the torrent. So, please, really, delete all this and download just the torrent.

Elfon, check you have chipset drivers installed (latest ones from your motherboard vendor website). Also check this thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=778342 "A common factor is the Catalyst AI - and a few x1950. If I recall correctly a few have experimented with different driver versions and been able to find a version that is somewhat stable for DCS:BS. 8.12 is one of the "stable", I think 9.6 or 9.7 improved some situations for others (not sure whether is was the whiteout/flicker problem)." Another suggestion with windows 7 is to install outside C:. Just create another partition and install there. Windows XP might work, but wou'll loose a lot of perfomance.

Ok right now it is happening to me. I'm going from 20 to 13 to 0 servers, each time I press new search, a different list appears. Never happened to meand my router is properly setup. Might be the central server lagging a bit? EDIT: seems ok now, it happened for like 5 minutes.

Yeah, it's really weird, but it happened.

A-10a campaign stage 1 has mission 1A and 2A in it (mission 2A is again in stage 2, and there is no 1B mission file in the folder). http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=864804&postcount=11

yeah well, cool down and everything will work. It always happen this way (fortunatelly!)

oh that was unexpected. So the question is not that if 1A and 2A are the same (they are not in fact), but about stage 1 having mission 1A and 2B (perhaps should exist one 1B). It might be by design (so if you're in stage 2 and fail you go backwards), but I suspect it is not. Good catch! let's see what ED says. I'll report it in the bug thread, not as mission 1A and 2A being the same but stage 1 having 2A mission in it.

I think there is some language barrier here, because I don't see any relation between me asking about F10 map and realism vs F11 view.

A friend of mine has the same problem. He sees very few servers when I see lots of them. BTW He uses Nod32 antivirus, dunno if that can cause any problem.

-With nvidia, the shimmering is corrected by forcing vertical sync (optional triple buffering) and filtering-negative LOD bias in clamp (vs allow). Don't know Ati control panel, but you might want to check for similar options. -Vertical bands are a limitation of the engine (lockon, dcs too) but can be somewhat corrected by a mod (search in the forum). -The 3d lacking in the UI is, as far asI know, because it doesen't have direct3d implemented (yet). Not a big deal generally speaking, except in the editor map. -[Guessing mode on] Training missions got broken during beta (a new version and any track got de-syncronized, same as when you go from Lockon to Lockon Flamming Cliffs or even pacth upgrades), it seems they are re-doing them but I'm not sure about this. For DCS:A-10C it seems ED is working in a totally different system. -It takes into account your driver settings, if it's not, re-check everything. It works for everyone I think. Now, focus on the bright side that's way ampler that some of the shortcomings.

What happens with F11, I don't fully understand. Is it exploitable? Why should I use paper, mods or external programs if there is an built-in map? Well, my arguments have been repeated, I stop here.

Well I've also a MS Sidewinder, no crashes (my saitek hotas died a month ago :( )

You need the L-081 "Fantasmagoria" pod under the belly for those diamonds to be seen. Check page 74 of flight manual "Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (SEAD Mode)"

Check also the antivirus.

I don't fully understand you. What I'm saying is the F-10 map (with limited shown units, if any at all) is more realistic, in my opinion, than no map.

You need to have all the files in the same folder, or you might have some of the files corrupted (torrent download is best to avoid corrupted files)

Yes, set source=Internet in the server list interface.

This might help, haven't tried myself: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=676501&postcount=52 It's for DCS:Ka-50, but if it works probably it will do with Lo:fc2.

I'd like that map seriously, but even that F10 does not harm being activated (just the map, not friendly, not enemy not even our own plan shown). Many ppl won't buy the map anyway, and having F10 disables will be a penalization for them. Even if you want to switch on some units (some sams, etc.) that are already detected as per the briefing. Dunno, there are many choices here. And server load is lower if you load and run it looking at the F10 map (couple it with maxfps=30 in config.cfg for example), it renders just 2D instead of 3D. So I think it's best for everyone.

I don't really agree. If there is not any exploit regarding having F10 map without any moving unit, how's that different from having a paper map? well, in first place is more ecological :p Is there any exploit that I don't know about it?

Word!
