gerd Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I was wondering in the past whether we will get some way to manage the module icons on the main screen - negative answer from ED. As the line of modules at the bottom of the screen was growing and growing, with the addition of Mig-21 in 1.2.10 it got to the point it could not hold any more modules. What now? After the update to 1.2.11, no icon of Su-27 module appeared. I suppose it is due to the line of icons having no more space. Once again, Is there a plan to have the icons managed by users? Or at lease split it into several rows (simple FC3 aircrafts / complex modules)?
golani79 Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Do you own FC3? If so, there are no extra icons for F15C or SU27 I guess as I had a F15C Icon before which has vanished as soon as I´ve activated FC3. >> DCS liveries by golani79 <<
Grimes Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 If you have Flaming Cliffs 3 you wont see the icons for the Su-25A, A-10A, F-15C, or Su-27 because you already "own" those modules. FC3 gives you access to each of them. Sadly this means you miss out on the wallpapers and music that comes with each module. Which is a shame because the Su-27 music is freaking amazing. In terms of running out of space... as far as I understand it when the available modules grows beyond you monitor resolution width an arrow will appear at the bottom allowing you to scroll between available modules. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

gerd Posted November 15, 2014 Author Posted November 15, 2014 No, I do not have FC3 (and I do not have any standalone planes from FC3), so I can see grayed out icons of FC3, A-10A, F-15, Su-25, but no Su-27. There is no arrow on either side of the screen.

I do not need the icons as they just add clutter when I already have FC3, but the option of having the wallpapers and background music for the F-15, Su-27, ect. would be wonderful. I would like to change it to the Su-27. :)
Noj Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Maybe because it's beta? I know other betas have been shown, but who knows?
Evilducky Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Maybe ed can make the music and wall papers avaliable for download to put over fc3? That's what I did. Snagged a cool su27 picture and some cool music and made if my fc3 stuff.
Buzzles Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Do the extra GUI themes not show up under Options->Misc: Theme dropdown then? As far as I was aware, the "set wallpaper" button was just a shortcut to that option menu. Fancy trying Star Citizen? Click here!
Archer7 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Cliffs is a bit of a mess. It contains a lot of missions such as training missions for everything from the A-10A to the Su-33 that’s not easily discoverable in-game and you have to install the individual modules to get the manuals and worse can’t have Cliffs installed if you want the music and wallpapers.
leafer Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 No icon for me as well. I'm pretty sure it's missing because it's still in beta. Though I hope this is because they're working on a new main screen. Never did like these icons. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
Trase Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Since my question is related, I rather post it in this thread than create a new one: As I understand from the in-game news, I automatically own the new su-27 by owning FC3. But for some reason, my in-game su-27 isn't updated to the latest version (which was released today, right?). It still has the old cockpit with the pilot model and unclickable buttons. Is there something I'm not understanding correctly?
T_A Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 The cockpit hasn't changed since it was updated to 3D 6DOF (except adding a pilot body) the update (mostly) give the SU27 a much more realistic flight model , meaning it behaves alot like the real thing. they also change some systems (like having to power on the A/C , and redid the HDD) IAF.Tomer My Rig: Core i7 6700K + Corsair Hydro H100i GTX Gigabyte Z170X Gaming 7,G.Skill 32GB DDR4 3000Mhz Gigabyte GTX 980 OC Samsung 840EVO 250GB + 3xCrucial 275GB in RAID 0 (1500 MB/s) Asus MG279Q | TM Warthog + Saitek Combat Pedals + TrackIR 5 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Belgeode Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 By the way, last night I noticed a brand new Su-27 icon on the main page of the game, and brand new music. Problem solved? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] YouTube ~ Twitch
NRG-Vampire Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) By the way, last night I noticed a brand new Su-27 icon on the main page of the game, and brand new music. Problem solved? no post a screenshot otherwise never happened :D icon must be here: ...:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\DemoMods\aircraft\Su-27\Skins\1 but Su-27 folder is missing Edited November 23, 2014 by NRG-Vampire
Belgeode Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Well, to be frank I did not see any folder for the Su-27... so you got me on that one. However... I cannot deny that my eyes and ears do not lie. I am looking right now at the nose of a Su27 Flanker, and hearing some airy techno kind of music playing. See attached screenshot. Su-27 icon is third from the right by the way. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] YouTube ~ Twitch
NRG-Vampire Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 (edited) :thumbup: thanks, interesting, do you have a standalone su-27 module installed ? because i have fc3 with the latest beta patch and there is all the fc3-aircraft icons (F-15C, Su-25A, A-10A) in the DCS World OpenBeta\DemoMods\aircraft folders but except the su-27 icon, so please do us a favor and search/find that su-27 icon.png and the base-menu-window.png in your folders, thanks :) ps. i see the colorless/non-installed fc3 icon on your monitor so i think i must download and "install" the standalone su-27 module for that su-27 background "wallpaper" :D...downloading Edited November 23, 2014 by NRG-Vampire

Belgeode Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Thanks for the birthday wishes! I Hope everyone else gets to see the Flanker and hear the music. Good job posting that! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] YouTube ~ Twitch
Sov13t Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 Can someone zip up just the theme and music for the 27 and throw it up here? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 51st PVO Regiment | Forum | Statistics DCS: MiG-21Bis
leafer Posted November 23, 2014 Posted November 23, 2014 What the hell? I got the icon after a few days away from the game. Has it always been there? ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P

I am very low on my free SSD space and don't want to unnecessarily waste it. Would it be possible to just download the music, background image, and .lau file while creating the necessary folders?
Humbug Posted November 24, 2014 Posted November 24, 2014 While this does work it also means I keep getting a nag screen for inputting an activation key every time I start a mission.
Mainstay Posted November 26, 2014 Posted November 26, 2014 Would be nice if ED could make it so FC3 owners can have acces to these themes and music aswell
