killerfliege Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) Hey Gents, I am very new to DCS and therefore I am quite lost with my problem. I've already tried to google it with very few success. Therefore: A few days ago I had purchased DCS P51. I knew that the basic programm is DCS world which is available for free but once I holded the game in my hands (CD version), I informed myself if I had to download DCS world additionally. Since I couldnt find any hints that I would be necessary, I just put the CD into my drive. Installation proceeded without problems. Finally two icons were created on my desktop: dcs world and dcs multiplayer. I clicked on the multiplayer icon and the program would start. Autoactivation was done properly while starting the multiplayer. After that, I opened singleplayer. When clicking the icon, some updater would appear which was searching for downloaded files. Finally, a huge update (about 8 GB) started. Over night it was finished so I tried to open the singleplayer today. However, when clicking the icon, a small black window appears (titled sth like C:Prog/..Launcher.exe.) for seconds and nothing happens further on. I tried to open it as admin but that won't work either. The game is no steam version. The multiplayer starts normally. I can log in whereas ive not tried to join a server yet. Will do now. My system is: Win 7, 64 bit AMD A8-3520M APU Quad with 1,6 GHz (its a notebook) AMD Radeon HD 6620G and 7400 series (both are listed in device manager) 6 GB RAM If you guys could help me out, I would be more than happy. Cheers! Killerfliege Edited November 7, 2014 by killerfliege
killerfliege Posted November 7, 2014 Author Posted November 7, 2014 EDIT: Multiplayer starts, I can join a server but before I would enter the briefing, the connection gets disrupted and I get back to the server list.
Rongor Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) 1. Deinstall 2. Download and install DCS World from http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/dcs_world/ 3. Download and install your module (P-51D) from http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/modules/dcs_p51d_mustang/ 4. If registering process again asks for a key, enter the one provided with your CD 5. start the game 6. start a mission containing the P-51D 7. fly Edited November 8, 2014 by Rongor
AtaliaA1 Posted November 8, 2014 Posted November 8, 2014 Make sure the Sim. is using the 6620 and not the APU to start. the issue is the graphics. (disappearing box at start up) make sure U install DX9 when prompted and the Redist. package that is located in C:\ program files eagle dynamics DCS World Distr. folder. This was a Boutique Builder iBuypower rig.

beewee Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 And how do I make sure the Sim. is using the 6620 (or equivalent graphics card) and not the APU to start? [sIGPIC]http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/7378/9thbwbannerbeewee.jpg[/sIGPIC]
beewee Posted December 29, 2014 Posted December 29, 2014 EDIT: Multiplayer starts, I can join a server but before I would enter the briefing, the connection gets disrupted and I get back to the server list. It may have to do with your version of DCS World, not being the same as on the server you are trying to connect to. [sIGPIC]http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/7378/9thbwbannerbeewee.jpg[/sIGPIC]
