I don't get, why is it so hard to figure out how to fly? When you join, you see your own name in a windows, at the bottom its called "spectators". Hmmm, i'm a spectator? Probably means i can't fly then. Then, if you look at the right you see Red and Blue, sound like sides to me. And look, each side has airplanes listed. Hmmm, maybe i'm brilliant but maybe you would need to pick a side and select a plane? Would it really be that easy? Only thing less obvious is that the "fly" button is located after the "briefing" button. Still though, if you think logically, you have the following options; Exit, nope, don't want that, just entered Disconnect, nope, don't want that either Briefing, no idea, but lets see what it does, at least it won't trow me out of the game, i think clicks briefing go back, no i don't want to go back, i want to fly Fly, YES! that's the one i want, hits fly and is happy. Really, is it really all THAT complicated? In case it is, please don't even bother to try and learn to play this game. /rant off /sarcasm off

Think i need to buy stocks in post-its and the Russian post office.:D Oh, and screen cleaner ofcourse.

:lol: How about, IRIS F-22 is, for as far as i have seen, advertised as; A product for DCS World, instead of an DCS F-22, implying it would be very realistic. Which it simply can't be. Unfortunate, but true. So its not about the aircraft for me, but the advertising and what a company is trying to let us believe. And an F-22 module for DCS World is very much possible. Just not to a DCS standard like the KA-50, A-10C, P-51D and UH-1H. (like Kinney Interactive tried to let us believe whit his F-35 project)

+1 don't have facebook, no intention of getting it. Besides that, a regular site or forums is much more user friendly as well.

Can i come enjoy the fireworks Tek? Those R27's always make such nice fireballs in the sky.

Lol, seems like a good enough reason to me.

Huh, strange as it is, never thought about that....:doh: Thank's for mentioning it.

My personal opinion is that the normal way is the only way to go. Leave steam for what it is. ED webshop in general works very well and easy, and the installation of modules is usually flawless. Updating whit the auto-updater is also very easy. No need to complicate things by adding an extra unnecessary software layer in an pretty wrap that displays ads to you for services they provide, although you already had them in another form and you already paid for said services when buying the games you have on steam. Just my 0.02$, as you can see, i'm a huge Steam fanboy:music_whistling:

In order to help you we are gonna need some more info; System specs, including OS and 64/32 bits If i understand you correctly the game crashes, can you post your error/crash logs? You should be able to find em in; c:users\username\savedgames\dcs\logs Finally, take a look at this thread to see if you can post any more info relevant to your situation; TROUBLESHOOTING - Help us helping you.

Thanks for the track. Just tried to replay it but i cant view any of the units whit F7 view and the like. Map is also empty, so cant select units there either. Also, for some reason i can't accelerate the time when replaying the track. Anyone know a workaround these issues? Not much use in replaying the track without being able to see what's going on.

Awesome little video, and great idea.:thumbup: Hope some more creative minds pick up on it.

True, but it has been like that since FC 1.12b as far as i can remember. I always power on the aircraft first, refuel / ream. Close canopy, light on etc etc and very last thing i do is start the engines. All this gives me about 30 seconds of line up time for the HSI which normally seems to be enough. Still, on occasion i notice rather large deviation's on the HSI, maybe i just need to give it more time to align though.

Phantoms and smoke trails, they really do go hand in hand; Relax, its tradition around these parts. And traditions should not be broken.:music_whistling:

Roger, never fly the bird so i obviously never saw the switch.

Does the real A-10A have PAC? Always thought it was an A-10C feature.

Great post, surely you meant MIG-29 instead of MIG-25 as player flyable aircraft though.:thumbup:

..............................:doh: Really, can't we just wait for the update for once?

First video, On the 159th Forum we actually have a thread dedicated for SU-25 videos as well. Tribute to a Legend: СУ-25 For those interested.

Will be corrected in EDGE and the new maps coming whit it?

About the controls menu, i think its intended like this. Just had a look myself and noticed that; All DCS modules have both a game and sim option All other modules only have one option, not specified being game or sim. So i guess that planes like the SU-25T and the like use one set of controls for both game modes.

Thank you for reminding me about this one. It seems to be related to the vertical angle the weapon has when hitting the ship. If you fire from a vertical position weapon will hit as expected, when hitting from a altitude of 3000 meters or so you will see the water splash and when firing horizontal from 1000 meters or below it will hit as normal. Will need to do some testing and post trackfiles though to make an bug report.

Keep in mind that deviation is modeled in game. Then again, on occasion i have seen errors ranging anywhere between 10 and a full 180 degrees though. Its a tough one to replicate, and hence to solve.

Functions you want to map; Slew functions for either the laser in the SU-25 or the Skhval in the SU-25T Laser Activation Selection between Nav modes (1) A-A modes (2) and A-G modes (7) Cycle weapons Launch weapons Fire canon (not sure if the two are separate or not) Lock button Flaps (take-off/maneuver and landing) Flares Chaff IR Jammer ECM Jammer Launch Override And most importantly EJECT

THE! DCS Battlefield? The old one from Panzertard? Anyway, no idea why these options are saved in the mission file, but they are. And about your issue, yes i do think it has to do whit the "use these options for all missions" seting. Its all related to each other in a fairly complicated way though.

:doh: I never mentioned AI, i mentioned ARCADE. But lets go the other route. Maybe you get the point then. So i am in my FC3 SU-33 firing an R-27ER at target X from parameters Y Now, i am in DCS SU-27SM firing an R-27ER at the same target X whit the same parameters Y Both missiles should behave EXACTLY the same, cause there both an R-27ER. Or would it be ok for the R-27ER launched from the DCS SU-27SM have 3 times better tracking and 10 km less range compared to the one launched by the FC3 SU-33 ????? Sure hope not. As such, there behavior is not bound to a given module, but to DCS World as a whole.
