Sweeeet!!! THX for the quick reply! ...and the answer is: DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map is being enhanced with the addition of: Tonopah Air Force Base New casino/hotels in the Las Vegas strip A number of airfields and landing strips in the central (detailed) portion of the map The National Training Center (NTC) Improved grass and ground clutter Plus a host of minor improvements

Has anyone heard if any future active airports are being planned for the Nevada Map?

Package recieved!!! I'm very happy to report that I've recieved a replacement BS DVD and I'm up and flying again... :joystick: Many thanks to the whole ED Team for honoring my request and making me a very satisfied customer.:) Looking forward to future purchases and hours of flight-sim entertainment.:thumbup: <S> yendor

I appreciate your attention, EtherealN. 1. No, not Comcast... My ISP is Knology, a reliable high-speed Clearwater/St. Pete/Tampa provider. It's still the weekend, so maybe by mid-week I'll get a reply. :music_whistling: 2. Unfortunately, I bought the BS DVD at a EBGames/GameStop retail store in Clearwater Mall on a giftcard on 12/13/2009, so I can't even do a regular credit card lookup. :( I'll gladly ship the retail box with damaged DVD to where-ever necessary as "proof of purchase"... it's of no practical use to me now anyway. I would have burned an .ISO of the disk for backup, but I only had a CD Burner and the (apparently defective) DVD player. A new SATA DVD Burner was one of the pieces of hardware I purchased after I did the Starforce de-activation. I'm a pretty patient guy, as evidenced by my long history with the whole line of LOMAC products :megalol:, and I have faith that things will turn out fine in the end. I will post the eventual outcome here.

I've emailed technical support directly and am waiting for some reply from them, and I posted this in the "Problems & Bugs" forum and was directed to post here also. So once again, here's my story: I purchased the retail DVD of DCS:Black Shark in December 2009 and successfully installed, activated, patched and began learning/playing this truely amazing sim. Then, about a month ago, I de-activated the game so that I could do some sorely needed hardware upgrades; SATA HD, SATA DVD, mo'RAM, etc... I'm now at the point where I'm ready to re-install BS and I get the following message during setup: Installer integrity check has failed. Common causes include incomplete download and damaged media. Contact the installer's author to obtain a new copy. More information at: http://nsis.sf.net/NSIS_Error I ejected the DVD, and to my horror I discover an ugly circular gash about midway on the disk! My old DVD player has taken slice out of my new favorite game. Please tell me that there's somewhere I can send the damaged disk in for a replacement. I can also ccut out and provide the PC BLACK SHARK REG CODE from the retail box and print out the Hardware Code I recieved from Starfoce when I de-activated the product. Any help from ED/DCS to resolve this problem would be greatly appreciated. :helpsmilie: yendor

Roger that.... & Thanks!

:helpsmilie: OK... it's been a few days now. I'm officially appealing to any Moderator or someone from the ED Team to provide some sort of direction and/or help with replacing a damaged DVD. Yes, it worked flawlessly for 3 months... and yes, I've since replaced the old DVD player with a new one. I also successfully de-activated the installation with Starforce. Please read opening post on this thread for more information or send a PM. Thanks.

.. arrrrgh .. :cry: .. you had me going there for a minute. Hopefully a Moderator will pop in with a happy solution for me in a day or two. :music_whistling:

That sounds great! My DATA1.cab is intact, along with everything else on the DVD, except for the Setup.exe file. Exactly what " new Lockon website" are you talking about?
