Zyme Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I'm trying to get DCS to work and everything I do just seem to fail. First off I downloaded DCS world, installed it etc. When I try to fly the SU-25T I manage to get the canopy closed, the engine started, taxi to runway, but it is so wobbly on takeoff I can't even lift it off the ground without crashing. Is this normal? When taxing should the entire cockpit shake a bit? I managed once to lift off, but then I couldn't retract the landing gears. I also have trouble moving flaps up and down, despite hitting the F button as the keybind says. Do I need to do something else to make this work? So I downloaded the "Training" and installed it thinking I must be missing something. When I run the training I just get "DCS has stopped working". So that is a no go. Thirdly I create a multiplayer account, but that says "Missing login..." so I can't even go in the multiplayer. Does the free version not have multiplayer? So many issues. I've been flying sims for several years but this is just really troublesome. If at least the training videos could work I can perhaps make progress.
Jona33 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 No the free version does not have MP. The Toad is a b*tch on takeoff and I've no idea 'bout training. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing

joey45 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 I take it you have checked the control mappings? The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

Have you tried downloading and watching the training vids from the main site? Thirdly I create a multiplayer account, but that says "Missing login..." so I can't even go in the multiplayer. Does the free version not have multiplayer? No, DCS: World is SP only. For MP access you need to purchase a module of your choice. Novice or Veteran looking for an alternative MP career?

aaron886 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Will any module open up full multiplayer capabilities?
Jona33 Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Will any module open up full multiplayer capabilities? Yep. Always remember. I don't have a clue what I'm doing
Executioner Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 Will any module open up full multiplayer capabilities? Yes, but only for that module and for the SU-25T (you'll be able to play with others, who will have access to their own modules, but you will only get to fly/control the ones you've activated, plus SU-25T).

Zyme Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 I managed to get the videos to work by launching them directly and watching in my video player. But not ingame. Anyway. None of the videos have a startup procedure. Where can I find a guide for Su-25T?
