DCS-WORLD and pagefile on RAM-disks DCS-World all maxed out - no shutters with the following settings and hardware: INFO: Before using the RAMDisk and ASrockXFastRAM the game was installed on a 30GB partition on a SSD driveletter F now S. Only if I want to update the game I do remap this partition back to F without RAMDisk in use and start the game for the update. Loading the RAMDisk image of 13000MB (contains the 12,1GB DCS-World gamefolder) from a ST2000DL003-9VT166 takes exactly 3 minutes. A less convinient way but a bit faster is to start RAMDisk with other settings to just fire up a 13000MB FAT32 partitition (RAMDisk grabs the first avaible driveletter/ in my example F) format it to NTFS (takes about 3 seconds) and copy the DCS-World gamefolder from a SSD manualy (remember the gameupdate steps above / neither I don´t want to save the RAMDisk image every time when I shut down DCS-World and in the next step RAMDisk itself, in particular not on the SSD drive). To extend the lifetime of the SSD 830 256 GB the swapfile was always set to B: (first partitition on the ST2000DL003-9VT166) before moving it to the ASRockXFastRAM driveletter X. After starting RAMDisk on a system with 24GB RAM and AsrockXFastRAM in use the Commit is 21,5/30.5GB. The max Commit is certainly wrong because the swapfile of about 6,5GB in the XFastRAM driveletter X is part of the 24GB RAM as the RAMdisk is. As a result of this setting without running the game the avaible RAM is limited to 2.6 – 2.7 GB only. As a prediction I would estimate that using 32GB RAM with the settings mentioned here is a good choice and it would eliminate all concerns about using a RAMDRIVE for the swapfile because it would result into 10GB+ of avaible RAM before starting the game.

If you do a fresh install with DCS_World_1.2.5.16184.220_226 and the Modules you use (for example A-10C_1.2.5.16184.220_226;CA_1.2.5.16184.220_226;FC3_1.2.5.16184.220_226) with the same version it will work properly, but make sure not to start the game at all while installing the different parts (uncheck the boxes start game ... ). Done this I do use the updater (found in Windows 8 in the Startmenue). Todays Update 1.2.5.16508.225 should fix your problem. Went through different problems with ADD-ON activation two days ago (message invalid key when logging into multiplayer/wasn´t funny spending hours to fix it/ the system didn`t tell me wich one of six ADD-ONS it reports as invalid. At the end of the day it was the A-10C and I just had to wait. This morning I was happy about the update wich fixed the A-10C ADD-On issue, therefore the FC3 wasn´t there anymore (also not listed in the Module Manager anymore). Yesterdays A-10C issue was related to a Steam install of DCS World. Today it shows that the Steam Version of the game and the non Steam Version of DCS World can be perfectly installed on a single PC. Thumps up for ED for the move to STEAM even if it caused some probs at my end :-). At the end of the day it is all fine again.

Hi, not sure if this is helpfull. I do remember the challenge to get the bombers doing their task correctly while creating DCS WORLD FREEFLIGHT 1.2.4.miz . Feel free to edit the mission with the Missioneditor and have a look into the triggers of the 4 Tornados and the B1 wich are working.

UNSELECT FULL SCREEN in the options menu is important, but you also have to to enable AERO INTERFACE (UNSELECT DISABLE AERO INTERFACE).

I use 3d nvidia. Use setting B for the adjustment of the Depth Amount. Use setting D to Play DCS with your 3D Vision. DCS WORLD 1.2.4 NVIDIA 320.49 WHQL SETTING A: DISABLE AERO INTERFACE(not active) plus FULL SCREEN(not active) RESULT: PAINT PRINT - COPY - PASTE works SETTING B: DISABLE AERO INTERFACE(not active) plus FULL SCREEN(active) RESULT: NVIDIA 3D in GAME SETTINGS shows up/PAINT PRINT - COPY - PASTE doesn´t works I do recommend this Depth Amount for DCS-World Depth Amount llllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll 17 of 51 SETTING C: DISABLE AERO INTERFACE(active) plus FULL SCREEN(active) RESULT: PAINT PRINT - COPY - PASTE works SETTING D: DISABLE AERO INTERFACE(active) plus FULL SCREEN(not active) RESULT: PAINT PRINT - COPY - PASTE works NVIDIA 3D in GAME works NVIDIA 3D in GAME SETTINGS X REMARKS: If you get problems with the gamemenue press ALT+TAB twice

Hope I am not mixing things up. But this thread encourages me to add some knowledge to a related thread: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=1818638&posted=1#post1818638

You might have to create more waypoints for the Yaks (you set the speed and the time of arrival is displayed ). The F15 get nearly the same (very close) waypoints ( you set the time of arrival for them for each waypoint instead of speed). There is a minimum distance beetwen the planes to take care of (if you don´t bother the planes will change altitude to avoid each other). A living example are the 2 BLUE C-130 in this mission:http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/379264/ You can easily exchange the type of aircrafts (as long as they cope with the set speed). Use only one F15 first. In the missioneditor you will realize the nessecary minimum distance beetween the plane´s waypoints. One more: depending on the coulor of the surrounding units the planes will change their altitude. So there shouldn´t be much around along their path if they have to be enemys.

2019_08_18 14:07 CET Just uploaded the updated 2.5.5 version of this the mixed multi(single)playermission DCS WORLD FREEFLIGHT and published the upload and more info about the Mission in the thread Mixed Missions: ED Forums » English » Sim Topics » Missions and Campaigns » Mixed Missions Browse the 2nd page of the thread for more information about the mission and where to download it (at the end of page 2): http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=89880&page=2 Direct link to the post: previous version http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1818421&postcount=17 Glad to see it has been downloaded already about more than 6500 times ... In this case the numbers of downloads say nothing about the quality so I am realy looking for your feedback here. Mission Briefing: At the start of the mission the RED coalition attacks with heavy armored forces the blue coalition north of Krasnodar-Pashkovsky. The engagement of the AH-64D ZJ142 saves the BLUE coalition to lose their base Krasnodar-Center to the enemy. RED coalition keeps up the pressure further north with heavy armored forces moving east. Four German Tornados receive the task to bomb a bridge to slow down the RED coalition advance and take off from Genzek to get their job done. A B-1B 101 is deployed to destroy the powerstation west of Vasyurinskaya wich has been captured by RED coalition forces. As said before this is just the start ... wait for more to come. Depending on the coalition you join you can choose between: A-10A, A-10C, ASJ-37 Viggen, AV-8B, Bf 109-K4, C-101EB, Christen Eagle II, F-5E Tiger II, F-14B, F-15C, F16C Viper, F-86F, Fw 190 D-9, I-16, KA-50, L-39 Albatros, M-2000C, Mi-8MTV2, MiG-15bis, MiG-19P, MiG-21Bis, MiG-29(A) , MiG-29G, MiG-29S©, P-51D, SA342 Gazelle, Spitfire LF Mk. IX, Su-25, Su-25T, Su-27, Su-33, TF-51D, UH-1H, Yak-52 BLUE and RED Aircrafts are sorted by their callsign. Use Shift+F10 to enable/disable tags. If you miss some aircraft in this mission feel free to open the mission with the mission editor and swap them in. Regardless the limited variations of callsigns adding new planes is no more on hold from my side.

Ich würde an deiner Stelle dann einfach erstmal mit der kostenlosen Su-25T vorlieb nehmen (in DCS-World enthalten) und die anderen Module die dich interessieren während der ``Jahreszeiten``Angebotsaktionen (also vierteljährlich) erwerben. Ebenso hast ja die Möglichkeit dich in den Missionseditor reinzusteigern. Hier das Ergebnis monatelanger Arbeit: http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/379264/ könnte dir ja als Grundlage dienen :-) .... Einheiten entfernen - verändern - hinzufügen Viel Spaß damit!

Good Question. The only workaround I know at the moment is a FC2 (Lock On Platinum) install on a W8 PC. This solved the issue for me. http://www.amazon.de/The-Fighter-Collection-Lock-Platinum/dp/B003TPXXJI/ref=pd_sim_sbs_vg_1 EUR 7,99

I want to confirm this.

@ Buznee Me having issues with being able to set the options too, did you find any solution yet? I didn´t bother much because I used the windows 7 for the server only.

black shark windows 7 64bit RC1 just want to share my experience, when I tried to install BS on windows 7 64bit RC1, my first attempt to install the game on the OS without a updated DX using the game installer option ``install DX´´ was a total failure, also the attempt to update DX via the microsoft download center to solve the problem didn´t help - error message: d3dx9_38.dll bla bla bla .... so I used one restorepoint ( without a DX installation/update ), did update the DX via the microsoft website, reinstalled the game ( without the game installer option ``install DX´´) and voila, it is working now :thumbup: ... The system is a dual boot with XP Pro, the testing did ``eat´´ 3 activatians ... lol ( yes I know how to ``disable and enable`` activations haha ) - nevermind I did buy this 2nd copy of the game only for the server, when the time has come I will apply for more activations via email... ,,, off topic : when I run the server on XP Pro in spectator mode, spectating the game, as soon as 10-12 players join the server ( running always the same mission 16vs16) , the server keeps running, but gets unaccessible for me ( screen freeze and computer does not respond on any keyboardcommands while the server and the game is still running and the server gets invisible on the server browser too ) - same scenario me watching the workload just on the taskmanager ( game minimized) the server runs fine. The Phenom II runs stable on 3,6Ghz and the 260GTX is also not the source of the problem. I just started a new strategy to avoid the system to hang, for DCS I use only core 2-4, leaving core 1 alone for the OS and other programms, even the workload is with 12 players on 4 cores about 25-35% ... the network is also loaded only with 20% of the total 5MBit/s upload ( VDSL 25) ... So I am with all of you yearning for the incoming patch :book: and hope to see problems vanishing, great game ... keep up the good work

that´s great

I can confirm this update hassle for the Saitek X52Pro for Vista 64 only - driver version 6.2.2.4 for Saitek X52 Pro Flight Controller (HID) by Saitek is O.K.; using the Microsoft Update for this device in the devicemanager ( wich you usualy wouldn´t do as long as everything is running smooth ) will find and install an update, but that did cause trouble (for example: multifunction display not shining) yesterday, as a fix I had to reinstall the Saitek driver

thank you... Had to reinstall the drivers for the X52Pro too, while I was working this night on this little HOW TO:Black Shark Achsen für X52 Pro invertieren :thumbup: http://www.virtual-jabog32.de/index.php?section=downloads&subcat=65 Thank you, now I know why.

SLI for BLACK SHARK :thumbup: I have tested SLI in this game with two 260 GTX, very nice images you get, wonderfull grafics .... if you drop one card still nice, but you will see more stairs .... that means SLI will draw smother lines for you in the Cockpit ... with above mentioned cards no stairs at all, usind up to date drivers,,,,, no manual settings in the SLI profile performed by me .... the FPS will be still disapointing, unless your multicore CPU is clocked in the range of 3,0 GHZ or above so if you have to chose between upgrading CPU or opt for SLI ( me talking about systems with simular specs I use / 24inch using in game resolution of 1920*1200 ) http://www.onlineregister.com/nvidia/clubsli/?PAGE=userinfo&SLID=6975 just build second PC: AMD® Phenom II 940 @ 3,6GHZ with boxed cooler Memory: 4GB A-DATA DDR2-1066 Motherboard: Asrock K10N780SLIX3-WiFi Graphics Cards Manufacturer: Gainward Dual NVIDIA GPUs: 2 x NVIDIA GeForce 260 GTX Sound: Onboard Hard Drive(s): 1,0T [1000GB Sata] Notes: powersupply 750W by XILENCE Gamer Edition, Windows 7 Ultimate 64 , Case from the scrapyard
