I said it earlier few times, but I have to repeat myself; this forum is definitely one of the best (if not The Best)! :thumbup: Absolutely fast and helpful. Super users... :) Thanks guys!

Hi, I'm practicing flying with this great bird but I found some trouble when I try to climb over 2500m (probably you know what happening about this altitude, rpm start fall under 85%, if I add more power it is getting worst :-), and climbing is start to drastically slow... :cry: What happens this time, what's the reason and what should I do? Thanks! (I'm on the mission Osetia pirates or something, where you have to go over those high mountains)

Yes, I'm sure. (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/Driver_Model.aspx?ProductID=2599&ost=windows+7+64bit#anchor_os) But there is something else. Before I installed W7 I have updated/freshed the mobo's bios to the latest one. Earlier (when XP was the OS with the older BIOS) I used 1066mhz insted of 800 for the rams, you know. AFter update it was - of course - changed to its default 800mhz, but I rised it up to 1066 (thought, maybe thats the problem why DCS stuttering, but - as I know now - it doesn't matter). It's still on 1066. But what if something wrong with the memory setups? Timings or latency or else?

Installed the mobo drivers. No change... :-S No digipicsoft or even printers installed... Wrraaaaggghhh.... Going mad.... :crash:

Hmmmm.... Thanks. I will run to it again.

You guys are reaally nice! Thanks the advices. So, I tried everything, I think. The game uses about 1.5-1.7Gb ram (I always test with the Convoy Hunt mission) due to what Windows Task Manager shows. I tried to turn off audio and update the drivers to its own (using a P35-DS3L mobo, and its audio). Tried AA (even every parameters off) to off on NVidia's control panel. Tried this * Disable visual themes * Run as Administrator thing. It started with hopes because after I clicked on the game shortcut the loading process of everything is going to be really FASTER! I recognized significant fastening while loading! That's good. But. I'm in the state of "give up"... Perhaps if I set a lower res (which I honestly don't want; I don't want to use a game with lower res than my lcd's native res (1280)) and set the gfx to the low it will be run fine... But, khm... You know... :-) One thing what I will be try; I borrow two more giga ram from a friend and try what will be happen. I recognized that the hdd's light are continuosly flashing when playing... Can anyone confirm this; is it normal? Okay, I know, there are too much data, which not loaded at all at first. I just ask.

Whopp... It was too evident... :-))

Wow maan, I always impressed how correct and helpful this community is! Thanks all of your comments guys!!:notworthy: I'll investigate all of your mentioned things. By the way, I use 1280x1024. To answer Falcon1906: It won't be a wise decision to buy and install a 32bit version W7 if I have a 64bit "ready" system. Okay, now I don't have much ram but of course I plan to expand it at least to 4gb. That's the reason why I run 64bit W7. How do you check your ram "consumption"? With a gadget like All CPU Meter? Or?

Hmmm.... Perhaps, it is the ram... :cry::mad: Thanks for your checks! I'm afraid, it's also the VGA rams too... Which is definitely not too much... :hmm:

Hello there! I'm over my OS upgrade process from XP to Win7. On XP DCS' graphics config was almost Max (the water effect was on Low) and the game was run - not perfect but - well. Now, on W7 I experience lags (or frame dropouts or I don't know what is the proper definition of it); if I turn the graphics to the Max (except the water) it seems running smooth and flawless, but when something happen/things getting complex (?) the game starts "omit" (?) or I can say "loosing serious fps"? No doubt, W7 running smoother, better, faster than XP, and also I recognize DCS' performance seems better when I start a mission. If I turn everything to Low it is better, but sometimes this lag is happening too. I supposed under W7 the performance will be better - or at least the same - but it is a "little bit" annoying that everything seems to be fine but later not... :( Maybe it is related to the low ram (loading textures etc) or I don't know. But why it was "playable" on XP? HW/SW: E6550 (2.33), 2Gb Ram, 8600GT256Mb Windows 7 Pro 64, latest NVidia drivers DCSMax on Tried to turn off Aero; but nothing changed. Thanks for help.

Buhh.. Now, that's not great... :-S I guess, there is no other solution... Only if I miss the "test" install procedure and install onto the final OS. (By this, I will save 1 activation and 1 deactivation, right? But also loose 1 deactivation and 1 activation, when uninstall from the old XP OS, and reinstall to the new W7 OS.)

Great! Thanks!

Hi, sorry, I know this activation thing is discussed back-and-forth millions time, but maybe my question is not the same, something is not clear and I want to be sure. I'm on XP with 1.0.1 DCS install. I want to upgrade to Win7. I just got my W7 now, and I installed it onto a "backup/test" HDD for the reason to test the whole stuffs (install every programs what I use, test etc.) and if everything is fine, I will format my "proper" HDD (XP is on this one now) and reinstall W7 and every stuffs again. So, now I have a HDD with my old system (XP) and an other HDD (with W7, program installs are in processing now). My question is: am I loose any activation if I deactivate on my XP system and install it onto another HDD with another OS, then activate, then deactivate, then install another HDD (this would be the old XP HDD format then W7), and activate on it again? Maybe it was confused... :-) Here is step-by-step what should I do: 1. Deactivate DCS on my XP (let's say, this is on HDD1). 2. Put my W7 installed HDD into the pc (let's say this is HDD2). 3. Install and activate DCS on this W7 (HDD2). 4. Playing/testing 5. Deactivate/uninstall DCS on W7 (HDD2). 6. Format my HDD1. 7. Install W7 onto HDD1. 8. Install/Activate DCS on this system. So, am I loose any activation with this procedure? I'm confused about this activation. I know, there are "points" when they are reach a limit it means a new activation, or something... Right? Or what? Thanks in advance for your help!!

AAhm, okay, thanks.

Hello, could it be possible to launch only one rocket? I cannot find any info about it, but what if I want to shot only one rocket? When I select rockets and fire, both sides are launching 1-1. THX.

I'm done. I have tried every f***** options, every possibilites, no success. The pink is still there. The only option for me is to create an other TP layout that doesn't contains the ABRIS area. Thanks DD and Gadroc for your advices (and anyway your great work!).

Hmmmm.... There is one thing that isn't really clear for me. If I want multimonitor setup (to get in BS to that ultrawide resolution...) I have to change my desktop from DualView to Horizontal Span on WinXP (with nVidia card). In horizontal span I can't able to set up different resolutions like mentioned below: [ 6. Edit the downloaded file in Notepad++ and change the values which are commented to match your setup. For example, if you're running a three monitor setup at 1920x1080 on your main monitor, 1024x768 on your TouchPal monitor and 800x600 on your Shkval monitor then you would edit the DD_TouchPal_3Mon.lua file as follows: ] What systems are you on? :shocking: Or am I missed something?

Please, somebody confirm that BS works flawlessly with TouchPal on XP (SP3).... I tried lots of options (various resolutions, editing the appropiate files criss-and-cross that affects on the setup) but no change... :-( My TP's abris/shkval screens are PINK... (BS set up correctly, the abris/shkval placed fine on the secondary monitor, and when I close TP, they are appear.) :noexpression::cry::huh::hmm:

Sjupaa! Thanks.

Yeah, I have tried both. First I tried with Fullscreen On; caused nothing worked; the only thing what I can is press "Esc" and quit... :cry: The above working setup is done with Disabled Fullscreen option.

Baahh, I give up. I'm afraid it is an XP related bug... :-S But I figured out something. The abris/shkval doesn't need to to match onto TP's layout. What I have only need is TP's clickable layout (and I will place on my sec. monitor beside the shkval/abris display!). Gadroc, may I ask you to create a modified panel that doesn't contains the ABRIS rectangle? And "slew" the other panels to the left. Like this: Thank you in advance!

Hello Gadroc, thanks for replying! Yes, I have a "standard" 2 monitor setup what I have configured for my two 1280x1024 monitor, when I choose this setup it works properly (on the secondary monitor there are ABRIS and Shkval that I positioned), no problems at all. So, I made from this multimonitor setup lua file another one for your TP, where I point the abris/shkval to TP's own positions. And yes, both of the two displays appears the right position. Edit: now I'm in the state that TP is working, DCS running fine (with the secondary monitor displays) but TP's abris/shkval area is black/pink. Buttons are working.

Hmmm. I tried it. I can't able to make it to work... :-S If I start DCS with TouchPal with a 2 monitor display setup in DCS where I configure the ABRIS and Shkval's display positions to match to TP's windows, doesn't work. DCS is "over" the whole display, I just see the DCS background on my secondary screen (and not the TP panel). If I Alt+Tab to TP, the whole secondary monitor will start flashing... Gadroc, may I ask you to make a detailed installation procedure, that contains any DCS related changes and/or setup files? Thanks.

Ahhhaaa, I seeee... So I have to set it up as a multimonitor setup too, I have to calculate the proper/correct positions of the ABRIS/Shkval to match with the TB's window display, right?

This. Is. F***ing. Great! :-) ;-) This is what I'm looking for! (I couldn't setup correctly with DickDastardly's version) So, thank you DickDastardly and Gadroc! But I have just a little problem... The ABRIS and the Shkval is missing, in these places on touchpal appears a big purple colour. :-S What's wrong? Thanks in advance! (DCS 1.0.1, XPSP3) Edit> sometimes not the big purple colour but nothing (the windows desktop) appears.
