OK thanks - seem to be a widespread problem - I'm looking into it.

is it really recommending a complete uninstall and reinstall or am I reading wrong ?

Yeah that's the recommendation - from here on in the auto updater will prevent this being necessary ever again.

Will do.

The A-10 version you bought is the original Standalone version of A-10. DCS has since moved to a Modular system. So that instead of an install of DCS:-Warthog and another of DCS:-Black Shark and another of DCS:-Mustang etc etc. The Base program (DCS:-World) has modules of these aircraft installed into it.

This uses much much less disk space, takes much less to download, and ensures all modules are using the same code for Multiplayer compatibility and are all updated together. Plus you get a free Su-25T aircraft in DCS:-World too.

To use the latest version, you can leave your current version where it is, the new version will not affect it at all. Or you can uninstall it if you like, it no longer matters.

Step 1 - Download DCS:-World and install. (I recommend the torrent link at the bottom)

Step 2 - Download the A-10 Module for DCS World and install.

Step 3 - Fly.

Step 4 - Ask questions here or on the official forum (you will have many)

I'm not too acquainted with hardware these days, but you are best served with getting the strongest/most overclockable CPU for DCS. It relies more on the CPU than GPU. That said from what I've heard a GTX670 should be ok for DCS.

You should probably ask in the hardware section of the forum for better advice.

DCS 1.2.1 Update - 2 October 2012

The team is reading the feedback and is actively taking steps to remedy the problems identified in 1.2.1 to include:

1- Reimbursing used activations when updating to 1.2.1.
2- Addressing continued issues with the master server.
3- Migrating several fixes in the internal versions to the auto updater.
4- Providing a change log to the Auto Updater dialog window.
5- Providing solutions to frame rate issues that some users are having.

The team is working hard on these and we hope to have this issues resolved as soon as possible.

Thanks

Are you sure? IIRC the problem with 3D was with the HUD parallax not being set to infinity - resulting in two target points on the HUD. It should work in some fashion.

BTW has nobody noticed the Aircraft at the end of that video above?

Announcing DCS: UH-1H Huey

DUXFORD, UK, October 7th, 2012 - The Fighter Collection and Belsimtek are proud to announce the upcoming release of DCS: UH-1H Huey - the next aircraft in the Digital Combat Simulator (DCS) series of PC combat simulations. The Huey is one of the most iconic and well-known helicopters in the world. Having seen extensive service as a transport and armed combat support helicopter during the Vietnam War, the Huey continues to serve in both military and civilian roles in many countries around the globe today.

DCS: UH-1H Huey will feature the same exacting level of modelling detail as the existing Ka-50 Black Shark, A-10C Warthog and P-51D Mustang DCS aircraft and it will be online compatible with them. Working in close partnership with U.S. based UH-1 operators and experts, The Fighter Collection and Belsimtek have leveraged their unique skills and experience to provide the most dynamic and true to life helicopter experience available on the PC.

The UH-1H will be the first helicopter of conventional design featured in the DCS series and further demonstrates the broad scope of the DCS simulation environment and its ability to introduce a wide variety of aircraft from all eras into a common simulation platform. The UH-1H will also be the first DCS aircraft to offer multiple player positions, including pilot, co-pilot, and door gunner. Like previous DCS products, the UH-1H will include a variety of difficulty options to cater to users with different levels of flight simulation experience, including “Simulation” and “Game” playing modes.

DCS: UH-1H Huey will be available for pre-purchase later this year for $39.99.

For more information, please visit: www.digitalcombatsimulator.com.

Key Features of DCS: UH-1H Huey include:
Unmatched flight physics providing the most realistic and dynamic helicopter experience on the PC.
Multiple player positions, including pilot, co-pilot, and door gunner.
Accurate and highly detailed 3D cockpit featuring six-degrees-of-freedom technology.
Interactive cockpit controls that allow players to operate systems using the mouse.
Accurate UH-1H external 3D model, liveries, and weapons.
Detailed modelling of the UH-1H instruments, weapons, engine, radios, fuel, electrical, and hydraulic systems.
Developed in close cooperation with real UH-1 operators.
Missions that include transport and combat support operations.
Training that includes interactive and video lessons.
Multiplayer coop mode for crew members of the same helicopter under development for a later update.

Open the C:\Users\<USERNAME>\Saved Games\DCS\Tracks\Multiplayer\client-2012XXXXX-XXXXXX.trk in the mission editor, you can then save it as a MIZ mission file, if that is what you are looking for. This folder will have all the MP missions you've flown.

It is actually temporarily stored in C:\Users\Ste x64\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\tempMission.miz, but it is not persistent, it will be lost after another load of the sim. The MP tracks are a better record of MP missions you've flown.

The same cheap stick (£30 quid stick)......

But I don't use half of it!
