Great, thanks :thumbup:

The SFM, can it and the AFM both be installed and used as and when I wish?

ie. I want to fly with the AFM but I want to let my grandson fly with the SFM.

 

Still waiting for the torrent of World 1.2 to finish :)

Yes it is set in the options. The option during install simply sets that option in game after install, for you.

A bit of clarification - you get "assist" which is not SFM. It's AFM all the way.

But with assist, it's easier to handle. :)

Maybe I miss something in this long list but oil and coolant systems now work and automatic scoop actuators work as well.

Afercooler coolant circuit is not finished though.

Sorry, but doesnt work...

 

When i open dcs world, the $-symbol above the ka50 sign has vanished... But all my settings, every original mission and campaign is gone too... I have the bs2-update version... The same problem occurs when i try to start p51...

 

First i installed the dcs-wOrld update... Afterwards i installed the the two module updates... I have to admit that first installed the fullversion update of Ka50 because of a nonsufficent instruction.... But it doesnt seem to make a difference because with both modules it is the same...

 

What im i gonna do now?

Is there some kind of rollback, so i can try another time?

 

Please help

Yes, same experience with me re bin 3. I cancelled the US http download (less than 30K bps = forever to download) and restarted it again (US http site) and it came through at 500K with no further problems.

 

After uninstalling the former DCS World beta the new beta (DCS World + P51D) installed no problem.
