When I switch Capture Profile from my default one "DCS" to any other one in TS3, TARS' RADIO1-3 PTT binds quit to work. Why is it so? Does TARS "locked into" only default Capture Profile? How to change that? How to make it work selectable on multiple Capture Profiles of choice?

I like Windows 8 and it is perfect for my bedroom PC which is media and gaming center (with XBOX 360 pad) and used occasionally for desktop aplications, where flightsim corner PC is Windows 7 driven. I really don't understand all these rants against Windows 8.

I very positively envy you your new career, please keep us posted and if you do it any lesser then top excellence I will personally find you and punish you :) I wished to join USAF, although I'd never be an officer since I am not American, but still, really wished to be loadmaster on C-17. They rejected me due to fact I served in foreign forces (even if we are allias).

CSO is better, pilot will have to listen to you :) Pilot is just a bomber driver, you're the brain there.

Look at the bright side, this could actually motivate OEMs to R&D in next 2 years components that use less energy, waste less energy (excess heat) but perform similarly. I do not wish to end up with 2000W power-supply in 2 years.

BISON Here's my rig, I named it "BISON" to dedicate it to my squadron. Photos from over a year ago (stage 1). .stage 1, more pics: https://picasaweb.google.com/shamandgg/FlightsimCornerStage1?authkey=Gv1sRgCNuDmseJ4IGNZw Photos from yesterday (stage 2). .stage 2, more pics: https://plus.google.com/photos/108996188516230237446/albums/5799177333214588993

Still playing (I'm a Sunday simdriver) GTR2 by doing laps, yep SimBin is quality. Rfactor did not work for me although squad members loved Rfactor, but GTR2 feels more complete and I don't care about constant modding and tweaking (flight sims took already too much that time) my racing sim.

Talented people like Ricardo deserve to get commission from my money spent on FC3 if these textures are his work, and it looks so.

but but but... it's... Combat Simulator X-plane takes now over users that MS left without support. I'd like DCS to be turned into popular E-sport some day with battles broadcasted all over ;)

Any particular unsupported installation procedure for DCS World A-10C 1.2.0.0 and up? Can't wait for updated mod ;) Anywayz FC3 will be released this month, so I guess I will undust my VAC soon.

Is this still valid for latest version (DCS World) 1.2.0? Does this bug in 1.2.0 still occurs and does this mod fix it and remains compatible with DCS World 1.2.0 A-10C plus remaining aircraft?

DCS World A-10C here... By default there is a conflict on Warthog Joystick between HOTAS Nosewheel Steering Button and Sticky trim release button, that's joybutton#3. Both are marked RED in controller settings. I noticed that after upgrade to DCS World my A-10C NWS does not toggle when I press pinky switch on stick. So I noticed this conflict and removed assignment to Sticky trim. And guess what, NWS still does not toggle. RESOLVED: Reason of this mishap was me adding joybutton#3 as modifier for P-51D profile. Had no idea modifiers are global (doh), imho they shouldn't be. I wished to use pinky switch as "shift-like" modifier in P-51D profile, but still have its normal NWS functionality in A-10C.

Shut up and take my money ;) Yep, old LOMAC CD installs well under Windows 7 x64.

Yes, I immediately closed ticket after you replied with help. Explained how it was resolved and what was my logic that caused me to issue support ticket in the first place. Funny, you launch P-51D first, but it asks you for A-10C cdkey first ;) Didn't pay attention to Starforce window title ;) I recommend closing threads (locking) with resolved issues here and renaming or flagging them as [solved]. This will help you guys to track what still needs to be done.

Thank You! Hehe. Silly me, but this all become I presumed it asks for P-15D key because I launched quick start mission for this one.

May I get help with this?

Guys, only constant in life is change, this applies to icecaps, coast lines, climate, whatever :) Turn off TV, quit worrying, we will do just fine. C y'all in next long-count cycle.

I think the best is to develop own profile using in-game settings, it allows you to create own modifiers and toggles, just like TARGET. By making it your own, you will learn your a/c controls fastest and tweak it to your needs whenever necessary along the way. There usually is another delay trying to set & learn someone's profile. There are not that many controls for the Su-25T to map.

What are you working on precisely? How many msgs/sentences to record? Do you have a "text" you'd like to hear as sample?

I have recently reinstalled system. Clean DCS World 1.2.0 latest version install + all modules I own 1.2.0. First I am trying to launch P-51D and Starforce activation does not work now us expected. Please see attached screenshot. Using correct serial number does not work? If anyone knows what is going on, please advice.

Just notice more and more people involved in VRS discussions here. I wish to invite any news VRS F/A-18E pilots, who train this plane during off-duty with DCS to user-group on these forums: http://forums.eagle.ru/group.php?groupid=47 This way we know how many of us are here.

http://rt.com/news/syria-government-helicopter-crash-623/ Machine is broken apart and engulfed in raging flames before it hits the ground. Was it shot down? Wreck seems to fall from height. What weapon was used, what do you think? It seems helicopter was too high to be effectively reached by small ground fire, so maybe he was hit by man-pad or some AAA?

Enjoy flying it :)

Yeah, it really annoys me too. Windows registry and file checks are just lame necessity to prove your licenses. Data about users and what products they own is already on ED server. ED knows via my account name I own A10, BS1, BS2 upg, DCS World, FC1, FC2... Installing BS1 should not be necessary to get BS2 working with upgrade or DCS World BS2.

I'll go back on topic and give my best answer to original post. Michaelc136, since you are trying to decide what to do with your budget. I suggest, if you purchase DCS and have spare money to invest in VRS you will not regret that investment. However DCS platform is growing platform while VRS uses outdated FSX technology. If I were you I'd rather keep remaining budget for future DCS addons and for hardware, and for hardware only you will need to save a lot every year. By sticking only to single best plaftorm (DCS) you make yourself a big favor (budget and time-wise). However if you prefer to learn F/A-18E instead of A-10C, Ka-50 or P-51D for now, then alternative as VRS is preferable. Upgrade then to DCS when modern fighter addon like Super Hornet is available for DCS.
