MAXsenna Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hmmm... I'm just supposed to say "kneeboard", right? No config or checkboxes required? The command is recognized, but just opens the standard kneeboard. Hmmm... Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, got it working in the A-10C II, gonna test again in the Viggen where it wasn't. Cheers! Sent from my ANE-LX1 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Razor18 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Hay Hollywood, great job! A constructive remark: your link on the bottom of VAICOM Manual page 76 still points to the April update of the Supercarrier guide. Since then, I guess May 28 version is the very latest, altough there is a May 11 version on the DCS Docu SC page. The May 28 version has the Case III departure picture corrected, without any clearing turn on page 43. This can be found I think only in the Doc folder of the Supercarrier modul, if you own it.

speed-of-heat Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 I just flew the Raven One Mission 11, and on approach after i had contacted Marshal it would not let me select the ATC page, i tried a standard case i recovery mission and it worked fine... anyone else tried this in the Raven On Campaign?

CyberNV Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 Is Register server down? Can’t validate.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiroka Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Is Register server down? Can’t validate.. I've been trying over the past two days with two separate license keys. No joy so far. All the responses say "keep trying and it will eventually work after 5-10 tries". I've tried about 900 times so far... If you find a better solution than "keep trying" then let me know.

jameslockridge Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 I apologize in advance for this stupid question. I was able to purchase and received my validation code, when I tried to validate it I realized I didn't have any idea how to do that. I did try to look back and possible missed the instruction. If someone would be kind enough to point me in the right direction I would apricate it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The configuration window you enter by pressing Lctrl + Lalt + c if I remember correctly. Skickat från min D5503 via Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hornblower793 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Lctl + Lalt + c is correct, then go to the About tab. You will need to highlight the text in both the license key and e-mail addresses before you enter text into them or else your text will be entered into the middle of the strings (they do not auto clear when you start typing). Once both boxes are filled in hit the Validate Key button. If it fails just keep trying - the update server has been a bit grumpy recently (maybe it was threatened with lockdown) but there was a hotfix for Vaicom today that is hopefully sorting it.:thumbup: Windows 11 Home ¦ Z790 AORUS Elite AX motherboard ¦ i7-13700K ¦ 64GB Corsair Vengeance DDR5 memory @ 5600MHz ¦ Samsung 990 Pro 1TB SSD for OS, Samsung 980 Pro 2TB SSD for DCS ¦ MSI GeForce RTX 4090 Gaming X Trio 24GB ¦ Virpil WarBRD base with VFX grip, Thrustmaster A10c and F/A-18 grips ¦ VKB Gunfighter Mk4 and MCG Pro ¦ Thrustmaster Warthog Throttle ¦ VKB STECS Throttle ¦ Virpil TCS rotor base with Shark and AH-64D grips ¦ MFG Crosswinds ¦ Total Controls Multi-Function Button Box ¦ Pimax Crystal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
