  1. I found where that was written roughly an hour after my question. I felt stupid afterwards.
  2. Am I missing something here? I've installed this twice now and still all it is, is an AI. Meaning, It shows up in my Model Manager, my wallpaper screen with clickable icon on bottom, and also on my aircraft selection in the mission editor, BUT... it's not in yellow so I cannot fly. Just use it as AI. Is there something I'm missing here?
  3. Awesome, thank you very much I will give it a try.
  4. AdrianL, many thanks for responding so quickly. I was watching thru DCS, but just thought there was a way to watch with a media player. I got my answer and again Thanx
  5. Is there another video player that I can download that will play my replay saved videos(tracks) from my ...saved games/DCS/tracks folder.? The player open up but gives me a message about codecs. Thank you
  6. Hey BOATS. Retired ABE here. Nice to see a fellow AB.
  7. MAXsenna, Thanx. I honestly didn't want to loose either. I have plenty space as well. Just was curious. Sharing folders great idea. Thanx again
  8. I am carrying both Openbeta and Stable version. Having both takes up quite a bit of storage. Also whenever I download a mission, skin or anything, I have to install on both versions. Should I keep both or just use one, and if the latter, which version should I keep? Thank you for your advice.
  9. Thanx for the fix. I too was gonna report this, but thanx to the quickness of the team, I don't have to taxi on my struts
  10. I want to thank you for the info. It worked. It made an exact clone but made a D and E drive. The clone went t D and the remaining 497 GB turned into E drive. Maybe when I switch SSD internally it will all be C drive Thank you again for the info. You guys are great
  11. Greetings, I needed to increase my storage so I purchased a larger SSD M.2 NvME, but my rig only has 1 slot and is being used as the main. So I bought this adapter (see attachment) and thought, just copy and paste C DRIVE to D DRIVE (external). WRONG. Then I thought CLONING. Tried downloading cloning programs, going thru all the set-ups, FREE is not FREE anymore. My computer skills when it comes to details such as this are slow. What I want to do is copy the entire existing C DRIVE (SSD M.2 500GB) to a new bigger SSD 1TB which is my D DRIVE now, then when complete, swap out the old SSD with new SSD in the original internal slot. Do I need to do a fresh install of WINDOWS first using my product key? Please help this old NAVY retired Catapult and Arresting Gear operator out. Much thanx
  12. Installed 446.14 yesterday. Flew all day today...no issues as of yet
  13. Just became available on todays DCS update (stand alone) Remember that when you start up the game look at the Mpdel Manager Icon at top of screen. If there is a red notification, more than likely thats where she is
  14. Greetings and thank you for getting back so quickly. That's pretty much where it all goes. One Senior member had drafted up a Cheat Sheet if you will, which listed Exactly which thread anything should go, from liveries to a module or mission add-on. I printed that and stuck it to my desk. My only other issue was the Administration authorization and how I can edit to match mine to allow me to do things. Thank you again
  15. Thank you sir. I try to stay away from the main program. But often the instructions say to. And then that's when I get the message about 'Administrator Authorization' I know that you can change this on your system, but I can't get it. I fond in properties where you can edit, but when I try, I get declined. Then I really get frustrated. What am I doing wrong?
  16. CT68, Good afternoon. I tend to read everything and this answer woke me up. It seems whenever I place something in the ED/DCSWorld folder as directed by installation details, i.e. liveries into Coremods/Bazar/aircraft.... I get a message stating I have no permission or if it allows me, then when the updates happen I get a message saying it was erased. That's what happened to my A-4C Skyhawk from openbeta. I even tried copying the whole folder back in. Again I have no permission. So your response to pulo is how exactly do I change this? I looked at my permissions in the standalone and tried to edit accordingly, but no joy. Please sir, could you expound on the solution? Greatly applicative.
  17. Much thanks Random. Have been scratching my head. I was close, but you nailed it. Will have to remember for near future
  18. Where did it all go. It worked this morning. My MODS that I own: FC3 M-2000 F-18 F-5E A-4E My maps I own: Caucas HTTR Persian Gulf So after downloadng the free Tomcat I wanted to go into TRAINING mode. Not there. And as a matter of fact nothing is there. No F-15, No F-5E, etc. Plus what little training is available, is only Caucass. but only Su-27, at least I think it is because no mods are identified. So where did it all go. By the way this is for both openbeta and standalone. Please help
  19. My first 3 years in the Navy I was stationed at NAS Oceana with East coast adversaries VF-43 Challengers. There we flew A-4E (we had 2 A-4F's...Bad ass 'Super Fox" but we HAD to give them up to the Blue Angels) Also TA-4J, F-5E, T-38, and finally our 'Guppies' the T-2. I love them. Used for spin training.
  20. Hey bro, EA-6B is a Radar Jamming 4 seater jet brother to the A-6 Intruder. Learn your aircraft designations. A-6... Main design MODIFICATIONS TO A-6: (JUST SOME): KA-6...TANKER... K=TANKER on any plane EA-6...ELECTRONIC WARFARE...=electronic The last letter designation A, B, C etc is just the latest version of said A/C This applies to ALL US aircraft. any military branch
  21. Now that is what I call a tutorial. Suburb job. I can see you put many hours in creating this. Who would have thought that there were that many functions in an XBOX control pad. KUDOS!!! You need to post this elsewhere to so that more people will see it. The amazing thing is you spent all this time to help out other future pilots that don't do DCS because of costs. Can't say enough. but a perfect job and detailed presentation using the visual aide
  22. draconus, my deepest apologies for jumping the gun with my answer about the Su-33 not working on the USS Stennis. And if it IS a bug, it's very isolated or just maybe no one has tried it, or because they know about compatibility between two dissimilar machinery. DC builds their products 'true to life'. Just like you can't land your F-16 on a carrier. In real life it would destroy the entire landing gear, and the Mod was built ;True to Life;, therefore if attempted, the struts would be destroyed immediately upon hitting the deck, Try it, so in the future, I will not try to answer anyone factually with closure, and once identified will be fixed with next update, and let them think it's just a bug n a side note, you all are a great and helpful group. and my questions have been answered and understood each time. Speaking of which I have a question concerning Trackir;s so I need to go hut down the Forum section where I need to be
  23. Try hitting back slash, F8, ask ground crew to refuel, rearm.
  24. Let me help you. The Su-33 is a RUSSIAN aircraft. The John C. Stennis and the Carl Vinson (Chucky V) when I was stationed aboard her. I worked flight deck (Catapults and Arresting gear) for 20 years til I retired US Navy. So I think why your RUSSIAN jets keep blowing up trying to land on MY UNITED STATES OF AMERICA naval vessel, is that there are close to 5,000 AMERICAN sailors onboard and are pissed off that the enemy has landed on their house. Next time you jump in your Hornet, go on and fly yourself over and try to land on a RUUSIAN carrier packed full of angry RUSSIAN sailors with your picnic basket. I"s not the fried chicken they want to eat. Ok seriously 0303. Darkfire gave you the answer, but you didn't grasp it. UNITED STATES equipment is NOT compatible with RUSSIAN equipment. Another analogy. Will your PS4 version of ACE COMBAT 7 work in your XBOX ONE?
  25. Indeed it is. I am retired US Navy Aviation Boatswain's Mate ABE (Catapults & Arresting Gear). And for 20 years the flight deck was my home. I retired back in 1999 so I've handled so many different aircraft. From the F-4 and A-4 which used cables called Bridles to launch, to the A-7, A-6, et al, using the launch bar/holdback bar with the color coded tension bar (T-Bar) designed to snap after aircraft was in final tension at that time the Shooter giving the signal (their personal kneel, touch deck, and point signature) to Deck Edge Operator to push the Fire Push button. Sorry, got a little carried away. It happens when I start talking about it. Gets me all excited. I still think I had the best jib in the world, and you can imagine how excited I am about the new Supercarrier MOD. I bet I was the 1st one o the list. Then watching the trailers I couldn't believe that it isn't real. And after watching it 200 times, you know, there is only one tiny little screenshot that IS real!! The folks at ED/DCS are geniuses. The created a pure masterpiece. I was supposed to answer you question. Again my apologies, Baco, you and others are 100% correct. Flight ops daily. Launching mostly off the bow alternating with the waist cats (3 & 4) giving just enough time to "Wrap the Waist and make a Ready deck,", green shirts rushing to stow the deck ensuring a FOD free deck because that area has just turned into a landing area and the first Tomcat is approaching the '90'. Shooter sprinting back to the Gear grabbing his pickle switch to give the LSO's a 'Green or Ready deck." Then the cycle has begun because as the last bird traps and the Air Boss says 'Recovery Complete", the cat crew re-emerges to ready their Cats for event 3, A normal daily flight plan is roughly 16-18 hours long non-stop. So when I said earlier that carriers were my home, I truly meant it, It's where we worked, ate, and slept. Yes slept. Catwalks, LSO escape net. Anywhere to be close for an 'Alert' launch if needed. Ok, my apologizes for the lengthy reply, but it just gives me a rush of certain feelings I have for the love of my 'brothers' on deck and to the beautiful 'ladies' that I called home for my career. If there are any questions you may have about the flight deck, it's operations' or even the mechanics of the machinery below decks that puts them in the air, or brings them to a (sometimes) not so smooth landing...but a safe one, please post me a question or two. As you can see, I'd be happy to. My avatar is actually my Aviation Boatswain's Mate insignia. Take care and maybe we'll cross paths on the new carrier
