Rgr that, thanks for the help!

Hi Snacko, I see to do that; however, some other post said I do this through Saitek software also, not understanding why I need to do that also? RandomToten and David OC--Thanks guys! that does help alot. BuzzU--I got F15C with Flaming cliffs, plus I bought Normandy Map with the asset pack. Thanks again all!

Hi all, After 3 deployments with over 2.3 years under my belt away from computer gaming, I guess I am old, stupid, or out of time!?!?! My biggest problem getting back in sims: 1) How do I map my Saitek X-55??? Is there some easy way that will show me the mapping buttons besides me spending near 2 hours (that I spent and it did not work right)...I repeat after 2.3 years from computer sims, I am really rusty... 2) I have a Rift-S coming.. does that add even more complication to play this in VR? 3) Can I get a hand hold? (I do not have an ego).:helpsmilie: Thanks to the helpful ones! Face

Chrissel, I would suggest shopping for a system with I7 chip and a 1080ti, thus you be well enough for DCS as for some future things coming out (Star Citizen hint hint..) ;)

Yeah, I do agree that PCIe memory is nice, I do have a m.2 SSD on the PCI that runs DCS well enough.... I was just sitting here one day and looking at RAM usage and I was only using about 8 GB of my 64GB... thus got me brainstorming on the RAM Disk (just to do a hobby fun thing lol)... My Eagle Dynamics folder is only 55.7 GB as I just have FC3, Normandy and WW2 assets as of now. Thanks all for the contrasting thoughts of it, I might give the other Freeware a go over the weekend, but may wait till I double the RAM if ever ;)

huh, does seem a bit more complicated than I expected. I will have to play with it over a weekend and see if I can come up with something. Reading the article, would it be suffice to say I also have to port the saved games directory to the ramdisk also, then have it sync again when I shut down? I used ImDisk Etherbattx.

Has anyone attempted to put this game on a ram Disk? I have 64GB, created a ram Disk of 48GB.. put the DCS folder on. DCS wont start from the RAM Disk or from the C: drive now, had to delete ramdisk and reinstall DCS.?.?

Awesome, thanks fee!

1 More Noob question please? When I exit the game, it states "Failure to Authorize" something about I cannot play live and I can only play for 2 more days???? I did port my FC3 SN over from steam, is that the cause?

Ahh cool, will give that a go. My err.... on the 2.5.5 ment .2... Thanks to you both that answered though.

Hi guys, just getting back into flying with a 7 year break in service, that being said: Was on steam but decided to load directly. 1) I have FC3: I load up a fast mission and it sticks me about 5000 ft in my F-15C. I hit BVR as I know there is about 8 bandits 16miles out about 5-10K ft. In BVR, the VSD is set to 20 Mi and the Scan zone is set to like 12-XX My problem is- I use the R Shift- . to try to decrease scan zone... I also have it mapped to my X-55 on the hat using Infernus's profile.... Neither decreases the scan zone..it is stuck at 12-XX I then tried to move the TD slew down and it goes to 10Mi VSD scan range, but still cannot lower the scan zone...any leads? 2) With this nice summer discount, I would like to buy modules. I was looking at the A-10 campaign. Since I have FC3 that has the A-10 module in it, Do I have to still buy another A-10 module to get the campaign??? (I ask as there is nothing in the description that says if you have FC3 it would work....as it does with other campaigns listed) 3) It still shows me as running 2.5.0.... how do I update to 2.5.5? Thanks again all, hope to fly with you all soon!

---Oops, Steam Community answered, somehow my beta settings was set to 1.5.6 (even though I played 2.5.x the other day....)… please delete thread

Hi guys, I really have been absent from this game for awhile, but wanted to revisit/been watching many videos and taking a few check rides..tonight when I loaded from my steam, it loaded to the 2.5.2 version. But on the screen, it said the update for 2.5.5 was available in the news. I then backed out of the game and looked at steam. It showed a DL occurring with an update of DCS. I then waited a bit, and came back to find that my steam game library showed "DCS World Steam Edition [stable-1.5.6]. So I loaded the game maybe thinking the 1. was a mistype...but no, when the game loaded it was the 1.5.6 version. Any suggestions?

CJSO... my Track IR4 was sent from the Naturalpoint online store 1 day before the TrackIR5 release... how do you think I feel>?

BTW.. if anyone knows where to buy this glove:... Please let me know! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLkfx6QxLfg
