Time to get the rest if the modules.

What black shark do I buy mate?

Another huey skin in the works, this one is an absolute darling, if I do say so myself.

Need to get on your ts server again, just finding time is hard.

Pit build has started, got some panels made up with switches in place, need to work out how the rotary switches and the pends work.

DCS: Black Shark 2 - $15.99 <- this one buddy

Beware hosting anything on dig sim , once you do it belongs to them
several mod makers now refuse to let them near their stuff

NEWS FLASH - from Mr Wags (they have wisey decided not to screw over the FC3 purchaser's)

Update - 22 June 2013

We have completed our internal discussion of the availability of the "upgraded" Flaming Cliffs aircraft and we have decided to make them available for free to Flaming Cliffs 3 customers. We believe that this will add a very high level of new content to the FC3, it will avoid duplicate aircraft types, and we hope it will broaden the appeal of FC3 to an even larger audience.

Screw over? How exactly would this have been the case had they not decided add this feature, for free? It was never a feature of FC3, and represents a lot of time and effort on their part. Your sense of entitlement is quite distasteful.

Nate

Yeah , its probably a difficult concept for someone like you to understand because you get these modules FOR FREE

But us paying customers were a bit concerned that after having to pay twice for black shark
that we might again have to fork out for a small change

It is a wise PR move for ED to do this for FC3 purchasers (because if they did not it would feel a little bait and switch)

@MarkeR , mission sounds great dude , could you link it please , thanks buddy

SALE still on , buy buy buy

Question for the Havoc guys, or anyone else who fly in squads etc!

Do you guys use TARS on your TS3 server?

See it is now compatible with the HUEY.

http://www.excessiveheadspace.com/tars/2013/05/17/tars-1-0-2-4-for-dcs-world-and-flaming-cliffs-3/

HI Marker,
No we tried tar(d)s a while ago , if you want he same effects just go back
to using ts2 (with very poor audio quality) , it just makes the audio sound like poop
So no , we don't use it buddy.

@Linwig
The simplest way for them the "upgrade" it is to make you pay again for BS2.....
Due to ED getting their excrement together regarding the auto patcher
just install BS1 + activate it, then install DCS world (if necessary)
then install the BS2 - the quest for more money module for DCW world
Then fly a BS mission to activate the module

Once that is done just uninstall BS1, or just buy BS2 full module while it is on sale.

@MarkeR , tried that mission last night and it constantly crashed

Problem traced back to needing to run mission on a client computer and not a dedicated
PC , played mission for a bit was good fun.

Lurkio.

He is looking for feedback, maybe you could post your crash log on the thread I linked too?

I would love to , but sadly like thousands of others I am banned from ED forums
having an opinion that deviates from the accepted "We are awesome and can do nothing wrong" gets u booted

MarkeR said:
LoL..

Didn't realise they were that bad.

I have asked for his updated version, which he says is fixed. If I get it, ill hop onto ts3 tonight if it's okay with you guys?

They banned one of our members for changing ISP .....
He moved to BT who use dynamic IP addresses and banned him because his IP changed from day to day

Regarding missions , they work fine if you are client hosting BUT , if you try to dedi host on one
PC and connect that's whe it poops itself

I wont be flying tonight (mums birthday)

Hey chaps
Looking for a little help with my controls, I am using the pedals from my logitec momo steering wheel for my rudder control but it will not work in game.
If i go to the axis tune in the controls menu they seem to work but not in the sim.
Anyone got any idea why?

Cheers

most likely they will not work because they are the wrong type of pedals
flight pedals work differently if I push my left flight pedal forward the righ one moves back , do your pedals do that ?

lurkio · 30 Jun 2013 at 23:56

Last chance to buy some of these modules before the sale ends tonight

lurkio · 5 Jul 2013 at 19:50

HI Folks,
Going to start a DCS World mission shortly 20:00 hrs GMT0 05/07/2013

lurkio · 16 Jul 2013 at 12:05

Dear all,

As always, we read all feedback and recognize some regrettable issues in the 1.2.5 release. We will do our utmost to address the lack of AFM for the A-10A and the erroneous change in the aircraft activation trigger as fast as possible. We are also investigating the input control manager issue.

Most importantly, DCS 1.2.5 does not currently support WinXP. We will remedy this as fast as we can.

We apologize for the confusion and inconvenience.

Matt

lurkio · 25 Jul 2013 at 17:20

I'm going to bed now, but later on Thursday we plan to release a "hot fix" to 1.2.5 that will include the following:

WinXP is supported once again.
The A-10A Advanced Flight Model (AFM) is no longer AWOL.
The broken UH-1 input file has been repaired.
The crash resulting from the broken aircraft activation / deactivation triggers has been addressed.
Fixed the periodic green explosions.

There are other items that we have fixed internally (like chaff rejection), but they were not completed in time for this update. These and other items will be part of an update next week.

Matt

Thursday .... hopefully this week ?

lurkio · 25 Jul 2013 at 23:16

Due to some "cryptical issues" reported by the team today, the update will be delayed a bit. We are working to have this hot fix released as fast as we can.

Matt

nope not this thursday after all

lurkio · 26 Jul 2013 at 13:10

1.2.5.15865.212 is available now
I cross my fingers and hope this doesn't add any more bugs .....
As the saying goes

Wish in one hand , crap in the other and see which gets filled first
