To keep things a bit better organised I have created this new thread to keep
all things DCS: World related together, links to older OCuk threads about these sims are also included.
This thread is for tutorials and helping each other, do NOT SPAM it with "ED DCS NEWS"

Version info: there are now 2 versions (one is release other dev), yippee if you have a 1TB SSD, not so much if you do not own a drive that big
DCS World 2.5 release version changelog is here
DCS World 2.5 BETA version changelog is here

If you want to roll back your DCS World version here is some information on how to do it.
http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030
UPDATER VERSION 2.6.8.41 And Newer Use:
Type: dcs_updater.exe update <version>@Branch (ie DCS_updater.exe update 1.5.1@openbeta,
DCS_updater.exe update @Release
DCS_updater.exe update @openbeta

WARNING:
The "people" (term used loosely) operating ED forums have made a change to the Rules for their forums .... which doesnt even relate to their forums

1.13. - Users using other public forums to spread damaging and false information regarding DCS and Eagle Dynamics will forfeit thier posting rights here.
* This was copied verbatim from the ED forums , yes I realize they cannot spell their properly ...

Which actually translates to say anything about the flaws or bugs in our product on another internet forum and we will ban you on our support forums for the product you have paid for .... not cool :-(

Or even if you have a joke about it, the guy that did this joke video got banned from ED forums

Nate if you have any links to small sized pics of the planes that could be used above
each planes section that would be handy. small ones or narrow banner type ones maybe ?

As for news, I have created a news section in the first post linking all news
and "discussion" threads on ED forums

LOL , just what type of connection is between you and the machine?

Lurkio, upgrade your ancient SLI GTX580 setup, come on Grandad.

Black Shark related, I can auto hover, engage targets, auto descend, use route mode and use the datalink.

What else do I need to learn? I am not entirely sure what all the ABRIS screens do...

Do I need to bother with learning how to plot waypoints?

It aint the video cards dude , its the crappy game engine, Deepers and also count where getting crashes
when firing FFAR rockets

Hows your wee video card sonny ?
Did you cook it totally when you tried to overclock it ?

@MarkeR , nice skins dude , you are welcome to fly with us sometime if you want to
