  1. When installing the Open World Beta, my BitDefender AV reported "The file C:\DCS World OpenBeta\_downloads\CoreMods\aircraft\Mirage-F1\bin\MirageF1Core.dll is infected with Gen:Variant.Tedy.380857 and was moved to quarantine. It is recommended that you run a System Scan to make sure your system is clean." Is there a problem with the file?
  2. I'd like to know if anyone found a fix for this...I now have the same issue and I can't see any conflicts anywhere
  3. The clock is wrong in the campaign. My briefing mentions leaving the chocks at 15:46 and take off at 15:49 but my clock is saying 23:40. This makes it very difficult in game for timings. Any ideas why my clock would be saying something totally different to the time of day (and mission settings)?
  4. On a non 4K monitor - that makes sense! Thank you
  5. Here you go - and some news. I turned off SSAA - over 100 FPS!! WTF is SSAA and why such a hit? This makes me wonder - first off, were MSAA and SSAA fighting each other? Second, is there any need for both? From what I gather, SSAA is better than MSAA which is better than FXAA...surely setting one should disable the other - yoiu know - for idiots like me?
  6. Thanks Eaglewings - where will I find that? I don't have an nVidia card. I have a Radeon
  7. I've got a proper weird situation here. AMD Ryzen 7 3700x 32GB DDR4 Radeon RX 5700 XT Nitro+ with 8GB GDDR6 RAM 2TB 970 EVO Plus V-Nand M2 Drive When I run DCS - same mission everytime - I get 23-25fps. When I run the same mission with a load of settings turned down, I get 23-25FPS. That's being reported by both DCS and D3DGear. Anyone got any ideas why that might happen. I'm dropping things like textures from High to low, heat blur from high to low - all the standard things. Run everything almost maxed out - 25FPS. Run most things turned down or off - 25FPS. The game looks fantastic and if I wasn't being told different, I'd say it was running much higher FPS - there's just no drop and it's silky smooth and looks amazing with everything turned up. To say I'm confused is a bit of an understatement. Thanks for any help
  8. Hi Skatezilla First off - thank you for creating this. It's a great idea. Second, is there an updated video on how to use it because the video on page 1 is a significantly different version to the one out now. What I'm wanting to do is have one install of DCS with two options - the first to load with 2D and very high graphics and the second one to load with slightly lower graphics and in VR. Anyway - no matter - I'll watch your video as the info might still be in that one even though the interface has changed. Thanks again
  9. I guess - is it possible to have two installs on the same drive? Would they have different settings files? I'd put up with the additional 160GB in order to have a VR version and a 2D version. Thanks
  10. Is there anyway for me to determine whether I'm loading DCS in VR or normal? I can run DCS with all the graphics way up high in normal mode but I want to tone down some stuff in VR. So can I have two "graphics settings" config files and perhaps loaded with a shortcut - with each shortcut determining whether to load VR or normal. Something like VR Shortcut "C:\Games\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe" -VR -VRGraphics.ini Normal shortcut "C:\Games\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe" -2DGraphics.ini I know - why would I go back to 2D when VR is working? Well my VR setup isn't easy to get together and sometimes I just want to fire up DCS - but I don't really want to reset all the settings. Also - currently I'm going through setting up the controls on DCS so I keep keyboard usage to a minimum...and I like to do this without VR because f having to lift the headset all the time. If anyone has any HOTAS setup where keyboard usage is to a minimum (for example radio requires keyboard), then I'd appreciate some pointers. Thank you
  11. Thank you very much for this - very helpful :thumbup: Good news on the activations being gone too. Cheers all
  12. Thanks Sirrah. And thanks for mentioning the config file - I hadn't thought about that. My main concern was loss of activations. Are activations still a thing? Recently, I'm sure I saw one of the campaigns had 3 activations or something.
  13. Hi all Apologies if this is in the wrong forum or - worse - been answered. I'm due to get a new rig next month - wholesale changes - and I was wondering what kind of headache I'm going to have reinstalling everything? I've got pretty much every module, some campaigns, all the maps, the WWII stuff.... Again, forgive me if this has been asked - but is there a handy guide out there to help with what I'm sure is going to be a fairly stressful process? Obviously I'm concerned about keys/activations from 3rd Party Modules as well as DCS modules. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :thumbup:
  14. I played DCS earlier on in VR fine. I have since stopped the VR service and tried to load DCS but it gets to the DCS World screen (black screen with DCS World, the version number (2.5.5) and the Eagle Dynamics and The Fighter Collection icons. I can hear the DCS music, but it never actually gets to the DCS World interface. One other very odd thing - Steam VR pops a message saying the headset isn't connected...but I don't run DCS under Steam so I have no idea why it would fire up! Anyway - any ideas why I can't get to the game interface? Thank you
  15. I tried to start DCS last night for the first time in a few weeks and received 4 error boxes (attached). The game didn't start. Any ideas on how to resolve these?
  16. I have 16GB of RAM and Windows runs off an SSD (as does DCS - though a different one) I don't think it's because DCS is using all the RAM. When I come out of DCS, even if Chrome wasn't open and I just fire it up, it still doesn't respond (aside from the main page) Windows 7 64 bit 16GB RAM nVidia GeForce GTX 1070Ti (8GB)
  17. When I exit DCS 2.5, if Chrome was open, it stops responding and if I try to open Chrome, it opens but nothing works in Chrome. This happens everytime I exit DCS 2.5. I have to hard reboot the system if I want to use the internet (using Chrome) after exiting DCS. I can use Internet Explorer. But Chrome hangs each time.
  18. Good evening I had 1.5 on a normal drive and 2.2 on an SSD drive...mainly because I hardly used 1.5. When my software updated, it updated 1.5 to 2.5 and removed 2.2. All good. However, what I now have is 2.5 on a normal drive. So I want to uninstall 2.5 and install it on my SSD. Are there any instructions on how to do so? Will I have to reinstall my modules (I presume so) but what about registering my modules? Will they still be registered or will I have to go through that process again? Thank you :thumbup:
  19. NM - apparently you need 1.5.8 which is not installed by the DCS Updater.
  20. Same as Silversmith - DCS Updater is not updating to 1.5.8. Thanks for the link Hans - but I'd like to understand what the significance of 1.5.8 is, why there's no mention of the DCS Updater not updating it, where to get it if it's crucial that's required for install and why it's not been made public as to the whereabouts in the blurb on the Harrier. Please tell me I don't need a THIRD install of DCS to use this module as I currently have 1.5.7 and 2.1.1 installed?
  21. Is this released today? It's 17:00 here in the UK and no sign as yet
  22. Since installing v2.1.1.9459 when I click on the Missions section, it sits on the loading screen and goes nowhere...I have to hard exit the game. I have not selected an aircraft or a mission at this time - just selected the mission tab so I can have a look at the modules and the missions available. So I can't get to any Missions for any modules.
  23. I can't read all 16 pages - can someone please tell me what to do IF the patch is already installed? I fired up DCS this morning, as is always the case there was a patch. I allowed the update to go ahead, completely oblivious to this issue (an email to people who bought your product forewarning them would've been nice) and now DCS will not start AT ALL because of the Mig-21 licence issue. So are there any ideas from the Mig-21 team? Thank you
