It seems like every time I load DCS World, with the new system, there is a new update to be downloaded & installed. Is there anywhere that the content of each new update is detailed, so we know what changes have been made? Previously updates came with such a list.

Thanks for further suggestion. Where can I find the Ka-50 registry key to delete?

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Done as suggested, but it now won't accept the activation key for the BS2 upgrade version.I get the message " Unable to run due to integrity fault of Activation Key". I have checked the key is correct but can't get any further. Any more ideas welcome.

I have by mistake installed the wrong BS2 module into World. I downloaded and installed BS2, when it should have been the BS2 upgrade. Is there any way of uninstalling the BS2 without completely uninstalling World and the other modules such as A10C? What a plonker!

Sorted it, I wasn't running it as Administrator. All is now well with the world!!!

I just installed World 1.2.1 and when I tried to run it, it said update available, so I updated and now it won't run. Just comes up with an error message. "Cant start DCS". Any ideas welcome.

In some missions we are told to communicate with other flight units using F10 key. This does bring up the other units, but how do you order them to do anything? Clicking on the unit doesn't bring up a command menu.

When attacking a ground target, the TGP diamond can be moved over the target & locked. When the TGP is in air to air mode, how do you know where it is looking? There is no obvious marker in the HUD.

What does BRA mean as transmitted by AWACS? I am sure it doesn't refer to ladies underwear, or does it?

I am wondering why when I select Campaign in A10C the only campaign is Georgian Hammer, yet if I access via Missions-A10C-campaigns there are dozens of missions listed i.e Push 1-1 t0 1-3, 10-1, 10-2 etc. Are these all part of the Georgian Hammer to be selected via the Campaign?

Thanks all. That explains the whole thing.

Thanks for that Viper. I do have the INS fully aligned prior to take off. The problem is that initially the GBU's show RDY i.e. aligned & then un-align themselves en-route. The only way to re-align the darn things, is as previously described, which seems odd. But I bow to your much more expert knowledge & will continue to weave about the sky en -route to a target.

I am heading towards a target bridge, checking the DSMS the GBU's show "RDY". Then nearing the target the GBU's show "ALN RDY". In this state they won't release i.e. it seems they are realigning. Doing a complete 360 degree turn changes the GBU's back to "RDY". Sometimes simply doing a 45 degree turn & then back to track will realign the GBU's. This often has to be done twice en-route to a target. Surely this is not realistic, or is it? Can anyone explain this? The INS is fully aligned prior to take off.:(

Thought I'd sorted the release problem, but! I am heading towards the target bridge, checking the DSMS the GBU's show "ready". Then nearing the target the GBU's show "aln ready". In this state they won't release i.e. it seems they are realigning. Doing a complete 360 degree turn changes the GBU's back to "ready" & then they will release. Can anyone explain this? The INS is fully aligned prior to take off.

Thanks guys for all the help. I was not waiting for the man release cue before pressing the pickle button. This didn't seem to matter in 1.1.1.1

Yes the range marker is inside the two pointers.

Process to deploy GBU-38. 1.Lock Target (in this case a bridge) via TGP .2. Select GBU-38 in DSMS screen. 3.Select CCRP mode. 4. Line up vertical line with the double circle .Watch the two pointers unwind from 1 o'clock position, when the two pointers separate & the inner circle winds backwards, hold down the weapon release button for several seconds. At this point in 1.1.1.1 the bomb releases. In 1.2 generally (but not always) nothing happens & the bomb remains on the rack. Hope this helps towards a solution. Not being very PC wise I don't know how to post a track.

In A-10C 1.2 I am finding that the GBU-38 fails to release more often than not. Is this a known bug, or am I doing something wrong? I had no problem in 1.1.1.1 doing exactly the same thing. Also in 1.2 the GBU-12 won't destroy a bridge whilst it would in 1.1.1.1 is this correct?:huh:

I am having the same problem. My cursor changes from the yellow cross to the normal arrow when I go outside the actual cockpit solid areas i.e. the windscreen glass. Clicking then minimises the program. Maximising it again cures the problem., but this is a definite bug. The same applies to A10, BS & P51. I hope it will be fixed in the next update,as I uninstalled & reinstalled everything thinking it was something I had done wrong along the way.:mad:

Thanks Viper, I already found the list, but that doesn't answer my questions. Further clarification will be appreciated.

I thought I was quite bright, but obviously not! I am at a loss to understand the mechanics of adding DCS World modules. I have installed "World" which now has a number 1.2.0.3205 is this right? The 3205 bit seems odd. I have BS2 (stand alone, as an upgrade from BS1) and want to install it in world. Is the download 2.1.2.0 the correct one and will it install itself into "World"? I also purchased Mustang when it first came out. That version is 1.1.2.1. Is there a patch to upgrade to 1.2.0 or is it a case of a further download of 1.2.0 & install to "World"? Sorry for what are probably stupid questions, but I have always found the various installation numbers to be confusing. Help will be much appreciated.:noexpression:

Does anyone else think that the pilots external view has the A10 sitting too low to the ground. The A10 is a big high aircraft and the ground will look quite a long way down. When taxying etc the runway lights and grass tufts appear far too high in relation to the pilots eyeline.:noexpression:

I have version 1.1.2.1 installed can I just install 1.2.0 over it or do I have to uninstall 1.1.2.1 first. Sorry if this is a daft question!

Hi Panzertad Yes sorry I meant 1.2.0. If I install World and the update 1.2.0 will my stand alone BS2 be updated also?

I am completely confused! Can I update BS2( mine is the update from BS1) to the patch 1.02 (my current version is 1.1.1.1) without installing "World"? Will my stand alone version then be updated, or do I then have to use BS2 via the World program? Help please. Life seemed so straight forward in the old days!
