*** Official DCS World Thread ***

I just got my 55, i really like it but i've not used a 52 so cant really comment on the benefits, I guess there isnt much in it, I'd get the 55 if buying new but if i had a 52 already I can't say i'd drop so much money for the minor gains. A few extra hats, split throttle...

Might as well keep the 52 until you break it, then upgrade to a 55.

60% off on steam for everything and that's just the baseline reduction, lets see if it hits a daily or flash sale before I buy something to play with my new x55 with.

Latest Messagre from Mags
7 June 2014

Dear all,

We learned from Valve/Steam that they will be unable to continue merging DCS keys purchased outside of the Steam Store. As such and as of today, please note that any keys purchased outside of the Steam Store can no longer be used to activate DCS products on Steam.

We will be working with Steam to merge all keys purchased prior to today. We can make no promises as to when or if this will happen though… that is out of our hands.

Please note though that keys purchased on the Steam store will work on DCS World downloaded from the DCS Store.

Thanks

Does that smell iffy to anyone else?

Allowing activation of third party keys is what Steam does.

http://www.steampowered.com/steamworks/

It’s free: There’s no charge for bandwidth, updating, or activation of copies at retail or from third-party digital distributors.

My personal belief is that DCS do not want to do the leg work as it makes them no extra money initially but they are too short sighted to see the long term benefits.
 
Really suprised the DCS army of fanatics has not decended upon your post
to defend the honour of DCS , like they do on so many other forums
 
The Fighter Collection and Eagle Dynamics are happy to announce that DCS: Fw 190 D-9 Dora is now available for pre purchase from the DCS Store at:
https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/

The Focke-Wulf Fw 190 is widely regarded as Germany's best fighter aircraft of World War II. Its appearance in the skies over France in August 1941
was a rude shock to the Allies, as it was clearly superior to any other plane. For nearly a year, the Fw 190 was the unmatched champion of the air war in Europe.
The Fw 190 had speed and high altitude performance as its two great assets.

The development of advanced allied fighters resulted in the Fw 190 D–9 variant which first saw service in September 1944. This variant had
a larger nose that housed a more powerful Junkers Jumo engine that produced 2,100 hp with the MW-50 boost system.
The D-9 was designed for high altitude aerial combat and is a worthy adversary to the P-51D Mustang.


Key Features of the DCS: Fw 190 D-9 Dora:

• Unmatched flight physics that allow you to truly feel what it's like to fly this legend.

• Highly detailed, six-degrees-of-freedom (6 DOF) cockpit.

• Interact with cockpit controls with your mouse.

• Accurate Fw 190 D-9 model, squadron markings, and weapons.

• Detailed modelling the Fw 190 D-9 instruments, weapons, engine, radios, fuel, and electrical systems.

• Battle the P-51D Mustang in single and multiplayer games.


DCS: Fw 190 D-9 Dora will sell for $49.99 at August 5. Pre Purchase now for $39.99 and save 20%!

Remember Folks:

Pre ordering is like marrying a girl without seeing her ... or taking her for a "test drive"

"News" update

Leatherneck MiG-21bis Progress

The guys at Leatherneck have been doing a great job and this week we integrated the AI MiG-21bis into DCS World 2,
version 2.0.0 (there will be no 1.3.0 due to the extensive DCS World changes that are coming).
Later in 2014, after version 1.2.9, both will be released. The model looks stunning as we think you will agree!

Here are 2 shots of this mythical creature ..... this was the first announced 3rd party DCS World aircraft ........ still waiting

New patch 1.2.9.30604.475

Also released is the DCS: F-86F Sabre BETA ...... please do not buy this Beta until the finish off the MI-8
eg actually give us a manual for it in English or give us an English cockpit
 
Started flying the A-10A today.

In comparison to the A-10C it's very very simple to fly and shoot etc.

Actually got me enjoying the fixed wing side of DCS again. But still cannot wait until the UH-1G come out (Huey Cobra)....
 
Have to say, flying the A-10A is an absolute joy! Compared to the C it is night and day, only need to remember around 30 button combinations :) lol...

Another 20 hours or so of flying and I think I will start on learning the C version..
 
A guy on ED has figured out how to fix the MI-8 Problem

all credit goes to this guy , org post here -> http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2146237&postcount=26

I have looked into the Mi-8 files and found how to fix it (since the dev´s seems a bit slow to respond).

It took me less than 15 mins to find the culprit by comparing the files with some old ones I have in my DCS Open Beta install...

Find this file:
\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Mi-8MTV2\Cockpit\Scripts\device_init.lua

Open it with Notepad (I prefer Notepad++ for Lua files) and then find this line (line:118 with Notepad++):

creators[devices.AUTOPILOT] = {
"Mi8::avAutopilot_Mi8",
LockOn_Options.script_path.."Devices_specs/autopilot.lua",
{{"ElecInterface",devices.ELEC_INTERFACE},
{"GMC", devices.GMK1A},
{"ADI", devices.AGB_3K_RIGHT},
{"LightSystem",devices.LIGHT_SYSTEM}},
LockOn_Options.script_path.."Devices_commands/AUTOPILOT_commands.lua"}


And change it to read:

creators[devices.AUTOPILOT] = {
"Mi8::avAutopilot_Mi8",
LockOn_Options.script_path.."Devices_specs/autopilot.lua",
{{"ElecInterface",devices.ELEC_INTERFACE},
{"GMC", devices.GMK1A},
{"ADI", devices.AGB_3K_LEFT},
{"LightSystem",devices.LIGHT_SYSTEM}},
LockOn_Options.script_path.."Devices_commands/AUTOPILOT_commands.lua"}


Now save the file (better make a backup before changing it).

Voila - Pitch & Roll Channel works again !!
