Hello. Where is possible to find this road Farp created by P. . do you have a link for the download? And, can this create after some problem with the original DCS / Razbam products? Thanks. Bye

This Mod replaces the original FARP.

So in other missions FARPS may look pretty weird.

If used in MP Missions, everybody needs to have the Mod installed, this likely does mean public servers do not use it.

 

Not sure if it breaks integrity, but it likely does. This would prevent you from joining MP servers with integrity check activated.

Thank you really for the quick answer. I don't use multiplayer usually , I prefer to play alone, so, in some way, I could use this patch but for what I ve understood it's better to don'tuse it anyway. I hope that Dcs or Razbam will think about this possibility (a road farp) adding a hause made patch without related problems because I think that, in multiplayer or in single missions, now that there is this new plane, this kind of farp would be very nice, giving a near to unlimited number of places where to take off and land. This patch could be avoided if it would be possibile to have a vertical take off from the actual Farp with some weapons load, but, for what I know and for what I tryed, it's not possible, at least in Nevada map .

Fabion66 - use JSGME or OvGME (if not already) and you'll be able to activate/deactivate any mods changes with 2 clicks. Here's a guide if needed: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=98607

My wingman does not respond. How do you communicate with wingman? Do you have to setup a channel in the ME?

 

EDIT: nevermind! I answered my own question :doh:

Sooo, it's been 1.5 months since the early access release! I guess it's time to hear about the plans on the continued development of the features.

 

To me, the most interesting ones are how's the work progressing on the following items?

- TGP integration

- Autopilot

- And, most importantly, INS and NAV systems

 

I really want to get my TACANs working properly with radials, get proper magnetic headings and be able to create and edit waypoints in flight.

[Flamin_Squirrel]

IMO one of the most important items missing is the VREST page.

+1 :thumbup: though without even going to which part would be prefared but at least a priority list from RAZBAM showing order in which missing features are going to be delivered would be much appreciated.

No Updates this week? 1.19.18

 

No updates scheduled for 1.5 or 2.2?

Please tell me the servers are prepared for 2.5. It took me two and a half days to download 2.2 on a 100mbps connection.

By prepared, if you mean do the servers have 2.5 installed.

 

No buddy, the servers will have the download when every one else does mate

If you have 1.5 Openbeta and 2.2 installed, you can Update 1.5 OB to 2.5 OB while the install will take a lot of files from 2.2, already on the PC.

Do not delete 1.5 Openbeta or 2.2 even when you plan to install 2.5 from scratch, unless you run out of space.

 

This can save a lot of download time.

[Nealius]

By prepared I mean not having terrible download speeds. My ISP blocks torrents and the HTTP servers have typically been running at 60kbps up to a week after a patch drops.

 

 

I have 1.5 Release and 2.2 on an SSD, but no room for a third branch.

It's not a third branch though, it's a replacement for both of the others. If you get a free trial for a VPN service, would that not circumvent your isps' block?

Am I the only one that struggles to see at night in VR even when using FLIR or NVGs? And unfortunately, the Tarawa does not have any lights on it so I can only see it when I'm up close to it and by that time I'm passing it up. :)

Would 2.5 overwrite one of my current branches? My main concern is that I only have 9GB left on that SSD.

 

Most VPN trials limit your bandwidth IIRC.

If you have 1.5.8 Openbeta(!) this will be updated to 2.5 Openbeta. You will "replace" and "add" files in/to 1.5.8 Openbeta from 2.2 and download the remaining updates from the internet.

Unfortunately 9GB is tough! As you would need space for at least the additional one or two map(s) from 2.2 (Nevada and Normandy) if you update 1.5.8 Openbeta.

 

Any chance to switch the provider and get a larger SSD?

[Rlaxoxo]

You won't be able to even download anything with 9gig let alone let it unpack and install

[Nealius]

Is 1.5.8 Open Beta required? I thought 2.5 would be a stable release, not a beta.

As I understand:

1.5.8 beta -> updated to 2.5 beta.

1.5.8 stable -> discontinued (obviously it's possible to keep the install but no patches will come out for it after 2.5 release). It will not be updated, new 2.5 install has to be downloaded and setup.

2.2 alpha -> discontinued

2.5 stable -> new install but in order to reduce the download size it'll copy files from 2.2 if it's installed.

 

For those running 1.5 beta that decide to also use the 2.5 beta basically it'll be just an update proces as with any other patch. Nothing more to install.

1.5 stable and 2.2 alpha can be esentially deleted after 2.5 comes out.

 

Anyone correct me please if I got something mixed up.

I use AirVPN.org which has a 1€ for three days access, otherwise I can't play online. As it's a paid subscription (albeit 1€), you have full service with no restrictions.

 

Might be worth a look... I'm not sure on their torrent usage, but as it's a legitimate torrent and not pirate media, I would guess it's ok.

Not required, but it can be updated to 2.5 Openbeta. So you won't need to download everything again, just the changes and new files.

The update will also copy files from 2.2 of it is installed.

After that you could delete 2.2 and likely even switch the 2.5 Openbeta to 2.5 release, with the DCS_ updater.exe's command line options...

 

Though currently I dare say the 9GB SSD space remaining seems to be the bottleneck, as any of the maps (Nevada, Normandy) will consume more diskspace and the update will pretty much copy(!) the maps from 2.2...

2.2? I have that problem in 2.2. Its like the green 'overlay', is twice the opacity. If that makes sense? I havent tried in 1.58.
