I use the same set up the easiest way to set them up is by a prog called easy monitor configurator, it works for me.

I have A10c set up with two monitors, the second one has two thrust master MFDs, which are great, if you haven't tried them yet. My question is this, how do I or can you restrict the distance the mouse cursor travels when clicking buttons inside the cockpit, as I move around the cockpit to the right hand side the mouse cursor appears on the second screen which is a bit annoying, I would just like to be able to pan inside the cockpit. Thanks for any tips you maybe able to provide... Fraser....

I have done as you have suggested, and all the missions are now working accept for, thanks for the help.....

I have down loaded most of the missions from this site, I am using windows explorer latest version, and internet download manager which I have been using for years. What I have tried with some of the missions is when the down load manager has identified the download, I have changed the file extension to Miz prior to commencing the download, which on those missions has seemed to be successful, I will try the others. Can you confirm for me when I download the missions there should only be a few files visible, as with some of them there are loads of files and I am not quite sure where they all go. Thank you all for your continuing support, I would be lost without this site, I wouldn't have even got off the ground.

Well I had my first bash at refuelling, its not easy. You mentioned that I may have to change the file extension on the rar file, is that by just right clicking and renaming, and is there a bit of software that wont cause me this problem, I have quite a few missions that I would like to try but cant due to the same problem. I look forward to your reply, as I swim back to the beach....

Thanks very much to you all for you help, I am off to find the tanker.......

Thanks for replying, I downloaded the AAR refuelling practice mission, it was saved in a WinRAR file. There are two files one just says options and the other one just says mission, both have file as the extension, I have tried changing the file to miz as suggested in some other posts that I read but that didn't help, I have found this problem with a few mission's that I have downloaded. Please help struggling newbie.....

Hi, I have been downloading missions, some of them do not have a miz file extension, I am using WinRAR, what do I need to do to make them work, I have tried changing the file extension that doesn't work either, what am I doing wrong, and where do they need to be saved...... thanks for your help.....

I have a G490, which I use with stand alone with A10 and BS 2, the controller and profiles work fine. I have A10 and BS 2 modules for DCS World, the throttle controls and rudder work for A10 but not BS 2. The options menu does detect the axis for the joystick and throttle , however when in game I get no response for the throttle. I have set one axis to throttle and the other to collective as per my stand alone versions. Any suggestions would be welcome.

I am having the same problem, why are things never easy........

Silly Question Sorry guys, this is probably a silly question, do I just copy the sounds folder to the root directory or do I select the files from the sounds folder and just paste them into the root DCS World folder.

Hi, Yes please I think the profile is getting screwed up with the default settings..........

I am getting there , can you tell me what your key bindings are in the axis options...... Fraser

Hi I have managed to get the profile to load in the profiler,which then displays the keys ect. The problem I have is I cant start the game by just using the dcs.exe the mouse changes to the egg timer but the game doesnt start. I can only start the game with the laucher.exe am I missing some thing. Fraser

Thanks I will give it a go............

Hi thanks for this profile how do you get the game to see it, I have read various posts without success. I keep receiveing mission editor lau messages. Fraser...

I am trying to use the Way Point panel lower right front cockpit, is there a button that switches it on, I have tried pushing several and then selecting the way point number with out success. The ABRIS is working okay , the training missions are done by other pilots would that:joystick: make a difference to what I can use.

Thanks you win the prize it was the Hud brightness knob.....

During my missions my HUD keeps disappearing, no illumination nothing, no data display. Am I pressing something that would cause this, if so how do I turn it back on.

Hi Gang, I am experiencing a few problems with CTD with WIN7, I have a duel boot system with XP which works fine WIN7 has installed alright, I can get to the options page and select a mission, it loads okay then freezes, or it just crashes prior to the mission commencing, any advice will be very welcome.

Thanks that did the trick............

Hi Gang, I like the real mode as you can play with the switches etc, however I am not very good at flying and I have not got the hang of the trim switch yet, but I am improving. Is it possible to fly in the game mode without that horrible orange box thing being visible, as I find that spoils the cockpit, at least I will be able to practice flying in an easier mode.

turn on target Hi gang, I tried some of your suggestions to over come this problem without success. Can someone tell me what switches I need to click to get the turn on target to work now, I press the button it clicks depresses and but is not lit, could this be my problem, what have I forgotten to do. Where do I find the yaw button. I look forward to your suggestions. fraserweller

My thanks to everyone for your help. fraserweller

Hi Gang, Can some one please provide me guidance on how best to use the turn on target function. I look forward to your help. fraserweller
