DCS 1.2.7 Open Beta - Now Available

[Gunnergolly]

I have a question... I downloaded 1.2.7 beta to play around with and I need to get Helios to work with it. It still works fine in 1.2.6 but how do I get it to work with 1.2.7 beta? My pit is useless in the beta without it lol.

 

I had the same problem so i just copied my scripts folder located :-

 

C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\Scripts

 

into

 

C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts

 

.... and Helios started working in V1.2.7 :)

 

Hope that helps...

I'm having a good time with 1.2.7. BETA. I like how you can adjust the controls without ending the current mission. Can't wait for the finished product. You guys rock.

[Pman]

Eh guys- sorry, quick question on the beta side.

 

I saw that the devs changed the IP of the master server... and that the server went down briefly this morning. I have just noticed my IP in the setup has changed-

 

Is that the new server IP? Is that what I should expect from now on.

 

 

Edit: didn't think I was supposed to report 1.2.7 problems here- but it got moved here so here we go.

 

I had a server crash last night... somewhere in the interim my IP got changed in the config file. I've deleted the folder and started again... still get this weird IP address.

 

Repaired... nothing.

 

Does 176.31.233.120 sound like some familiar generic address I haven't heard of? I can't post the server again until I get this squared so any help would be appreciated.

 

Same issue with the VA server mate,

 

Exact same ip showing in the interface box.

 

Cant seem to fix it :/

 

That said there is alot of servers missing tonight

 

Seems to be alot of the ones that use dedicated servers in data centrers, people from their Pc's at home seem to be ok

When I give commands to AI flight members in A-10C I get no response... Clean install, no mods. All comms done correctly, what do I do?

DCS 1.2.7.Open Beta

 

Have downloaded 1.2.7 open Beta but Huey doesn't appear.

 

Huey shows in 1.2.6 & also shows in Module manager, but does not appear in 1.2.7 Open beta.

 

Have tried copy & paste to 1.2.7 from 1.2.6 Huey appears in external vision, but controls not working & cockpit not visible, obviously this not the way to go.

 

Any help & advice appreciated to get this up & running in 1.2.7 Open Beta

 

Thanks

sounds like you installed it into your 1.2.6 DCS version that's a big no no, in the read me it states stand alone install.

[cichlidfan]

If you took the defaults when you installed it, then that part should be fine. Pasting in the data form v1.2.6 was a bad idea.

 

Do a repair from Start Menu>All Programs>Eagle Dynamics>DCS World OpenBeta>Repair DCS World OpenBeta. That should put it back the way it belongs, then see if the problem still exists.

The 1.2.7 OpenBeta announcement post stated "...you will use the Module Manager to install your modules".

 

Once you've corrected your 1.2.7 OpenBeta install, test it and get into the Module Manager. You should be able to install Huey from there. If it isn't there, it isn't a module that's a part of the 1.2.7 Openbeta test candidate - the same may not be said of Flaming Cliffs 3, though.

DCS 1.2.7 Open Beta

 

Thanks for all the replies ,I have run repair on 1.2.7 & Module Manager shows;

World War 11 AI Units

SU-25T Frogfoot as 2 modules installed no Huey.

 

When I run 1.2.6 Module Manager it shows;

World War 11 AI Units

SU-25T Frogfoot

UH-1H Huey as 3 modules installed

 

Is the Huey only allowed to be installed in one version, in other words should I remove it from v1.2.6 & then install it in v1.2.7 ?

 

Sorry to appear a bit slow, must be this Seniors thing kicking in.

 

Appreciate the help

I tried so many different options including hardcoding the damn ip into dcs.exe itself, dont ask lol

 

anyway it just corrected itself, I put it down to an IP assignment issue with the master server

 

Just keep trying

If your 2 installs are on the same machine it is not necessary to deactivate modules to use in 2 seperate versions.

Ok Thanks, was just hoping I'd come up with a solution

It appears the UH-1H license is not linked to the account which you use to log on to the module manager.

 

You can manually install the UH-1H module by following these steps:

Press WindowsKey+R and copy/paste this text, and click OK.

"C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe" install UH-1H

(you may need to adjust the file path depending on where 1.2.7 openbeta is installed)

Now it works! fixed by itself.

 

 

For the Future, do not make something like that before X-Mas! :music_whistling:

Many thanks Aldega that did the trick, I have the Huey installed in 1.2.7, & now have to get it to recognise my joy stick & throttle, they show up in axis command , but are not operating when flying, something to keep me occupied with at the moment.

Using mod with beta version of DCS World

 

I recently installed the current beta version of DCS world and it works very well on my computer. I subsequently purchased the beta version of UH-iH Huey and I have learned that I can't use it with version 1.27 of DCS world. I received an error message indicating I have to use it with version 1.26. The problem is the version 1.26 of DCS World will not run on my computer. Can you please advise me further on this matter. Thank you.

Log Into Module Manager, it should prompt you to install new addons and list UH-1H with check box.

 

 

 

or

 

 

WinKey+R to Bring up Run menu.

 

Paste:

"C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe" install UH-1H"

 

Press OK

 

Updater will download and install 1.2.7 UH-1H
