Hello chardly, see if you can find the dcs logs (any log file) for us as well, from the \temp directory. Please have a look at the first post here: Sticky: TROUBLESHOOTING - Help us help you

Try using the 'generate', it'll give you a new weather pattern. 1 or 2 cyclones. Or anticyclones. I find autumn and 10 degrees C being a favorite, gives me a lot of rain sometimes depending on the generation etc. From what I heard 3 cyclones is too much, probably due to the size of the area.

Datalink requires EPLRS. Predator drone doesn't support EPLRS - so no data is sent, the voice may indicate that you should have recieved data. Instead, you can use Air-units like the F-16 or F-15 whic supports EPLRS, and they should send you datalinks. If you check ground units - you'll see most of them also supports EPLRS.

Well, in squad ops - using Teamspeak and between SU-25s in FC2 and Ka-50 we use smoke markers. Smoke-markers are underestimated in this community ;)

Do the BIOS upgrade. He had to tell you that it is a chance of fail - in case it does this, in 1 of a million. It's not 1 in 10, not 1 in 100. If it fails, Dell support will have to send a bloke to your house to fix it anyway. Just do it - you'll be fine. Altough Jeff & chiclidfan is patiently helping you out (patient fellas, really), you need to follow the actions advised by Dell & MS to solve this.

Most excellent post, Grimes. Quality! I just wish I could rep you again for that. Consider yourself repped again, mentally ;) (note to self - gotta talk to someone about this new rep system)

Me and my hamsters will take part when we're running in public mode.

What is 'better'? :) It would be nice if you could give some tangible samples. Make us all a list - and tell us why this is 'better'. It'll help the devs understand what you're looking for. PS, make it easy to understand - the easier it is to understand, the greater the chance is that someone will pick up on your idea. ;)

ED is paying attention - they just need to prioritise. Anyway, when we're giving them a bit of code, they need to clean it up a little so there's work involved there too. But I'm hopeful in regards they will add a bit of code snippets for some future version.

Predator airunit can't use the EPLRS from what I see in the ME. Hence, you wont get a datalink Try using the F-16 or a F-15, both supports EPLRS.

Yes, thanks - reported. Not sure when we will see this fixed.

Well, I think we can safely assume the Player AI isn't necessarily the smartest one's around. It can also be part of the fact that the (AI) ATC may not have full control over the situation for landing, assuming you requested landing clearance?

No. Sorry.

Normally I doesn't encourage crossposting, but I know it's easy to overlook Mods for the ME down in the mod section. Hence, let me introduce you to the random snippets of code accidently created by some monkeys in my lab: Copy & Paste Please report issues etc in the original thread.

Reserved for future updates. Right now, just a few illustrations.

ME Survival Upgrade Pack v.0.1 Please regard this code as 'beta'. This is a collection of some code snippets put together to allow you to do Copy & Paste in 1.1.0.8. ED may be kind enough to include some of the basic features in a future version. Requires: DCS:A-10C 1.1.0.8 Major features: - Multiple selectable groups for copy & paste. LCTRL+C = Copy LCTRL+V = Paste LCTRL+X = Cut Other minor feature fixes: - Grouplist stays onscreen while working in map, instead of dissapearing when you accidently click in the map. You should now close yourself when you dont want it on screen anymore. - Air & Helo groups will now remember the name instead of reverting to "New Air/Helo Group" every time you create a new group. Copy & Paste features: Supported: - Air, Helo, Static, Ship, Vehicle - any kind of types of groups at any time. Not supported: - Navpoints, bullseye, TriggerZones, cyclones. LEFT SHIFT = modifier for paste. Will paste all groups to the same coords. You will notice the Ruler change into a single point, or multiple points depending on SHIFT state. You can cut / copy units - then delete them - and paste them back in. Units which have been deleted by (X) stay in memory if you copied them before deletion. ------------------------------------------ If you have problems, try this: - Select first group. - Hold LEFT SHIFT while selecting more groups, one by one. - Release SHIFT. - Copy, using LCTRL+C - Release CTRL and C. - Move the mouse to a new location. - Optional: Hold LSHIFT, for a focused paste, with CTRL+V if you want to paste to *one* location. - LCTRL+V for regular paste. ------------------------------------------ Known issues: FEATURE, not a bug: - Allows groups to be pasted over terrain they do not belong to. Not planning to fix this yet. Worst problem would be drowning static units or other funny ingame events. (PS, ships on lakes wont work in SIM due to SIM-code). You're the designer - you can deal with it. - You need to do a COPY before doing a PASTE. Doing COPY, then PASTE PASTE won't work right now due to unforseen problems when COPY & PASTE text in other TEXT-boxes. Minor Issues: - Air & Helo: Waypoints are not snapped to airfield for TAKEOFF and LANDING. You need to readjust these yourself. - Vehicles: Route on road needs to be recalculated. Drag and drop route to reset waypoints. ------------------------------------------ You cannot report bugs to ED while having this mod installed. This MOD may break your MISSIONS. Make sure you have backups of your missions while working on them. However, you can report bugs to me regarding ME:SUP fixes. Please attach the ME.log when you report an issue. - Please report step by step what you did to produce the problem. - Please attach pictures to describe the problem. - Please attach the mission you were working on. ------------------------------------------ Download: - Modman package attached. You'll need the Modman 7.3 patch. Attached here - just need a few reports if it is working for people. DCS-ME-SUP-0.1.zip

FF, I tend to agree with you - the bar is set to 'become a squad member'. However, there are people out there who embrase the casual players. =STP=. - It would be nice to see more open servers - It would be nice to see more of the fresh players using Teamspeak and communicate with other players ingame. Now, if we only could get some communication tools which could engourage fresh members to communicate - like builtin IM or Voice coms. Okai, I'll go back to put together the latest ServMan release - so you gents can run *open* servers. ;)

JTAC is working for regular units, maybe not for static units, the AI is having a problem seeing static objects without another AI.

No longer the need to press OK or Cancel - the weather is edited on the fly. I've never saved my to a template, I think it's for static weather. However I've used dynamics a bit lately, it seems to be a bit hard to get poor weather / clouds - but I'm still learning. But yeah, it's set every time I set it and switch back to working on the mission units - and save the mission.

This is what the professionals over at Microsoft are good at. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itproappcompat/thread/b73eb0be-f736-4016-a743-90ecf2b40d90 In that case above, they suggested the user to have a look at some of the device drivers for one of the devices. You may want to check in with Microsoft, either their forum or support.

I'm still going to be a rotorhead myself. Just the feeling & immersion of staying close to the ground, stalking targets - love it. A-10C is still a notch up the ladder regarding simulation, workload etc, but I'll always come back to the Shark when there's a new patch.

Clear Skies 3 is out. For those who knows Eve-Online (a popular space MMORPG) - I know there's a few of you here in the community. You probably know about the award winning machinima movie series. Clear Skies 3 on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/user/chishoi Okai, time for me to watch #3 - looks to be something like an hour or more :D Clear Skies and Clear Skies 2 is a must see if you're new to the series. Clear Skies Part 1 Clear Skies Part 3 Clear Skies Part 4 -(no audio, DRM) - instead use the fixed: , + , +

You put a ground unit near it, it'll become occupied by that coalition.

Tez replied on this in another thread as well gents. You're likely to see crashes. So either it's time to think about 64bit and a bit more memory, or leave it as it is.
