Bugs or Features?:)

Hi,

I have bought the A-10 and have previously owned the FC2 combat sim.

 

1. After i downloaded the DCS world and start the game i have notice that somtimes the screen loose focus and i have to press the 'windows' button on my keyboard and then press the game on the toolbar to do anything on the screen.

It happens always on the brief screen, where when i press the 'FLY' button nothing happens and i have to lose focus and retain it again. (when i press the 'break' key - it actually starting the game so maybe it isn't a focus issue).

 

Another thing is when moving the mouse on the start screen sometimes my desktop icons flash. (so again, it looks like some focus.. i don't really understand this).

 

2. Also, funny thing:

I have downloaded the FC3 beta and wanted to give it a try, but when i try to fly one of the aircraft all i can see is part of the plain as like it doesn't rendered successfully.

I have seen few posts over the web that people played the FC3. So why can't i?

I should mention that every time i start some module (A-10 or FC3 or even DCS WORLD) i get a windows asking for the activation key of FC3 there i must press 'EXIT' in order to continue.

I haven't bought the FC3 yet but i figured i can play the beta for free. isn't that so?

 

I have a strong PC and i play the game with high details and it flows great.

I have tried lower the details but it didn't fix problem #2

 

i would appreciate any help.

Thanks :)

This is the problem:

You can play for free but then you will not have a cockpit.

 

In order to access the Beta you need to pre-purchase the SIM and activate with the serial you get. If not you'll experience the issue as you explained above.

As a clarification: Beta access is a reward for those that pre-order the product.

1. It's a Mouse Cursor Control Problem, A Service running is constantly polling for the Mouse Cursor, so When DCSW GUI Closes and Loads Up the Renderer, Windows or the Service Regain Mouse Cursor Control from DCSW's GUI Process. Keyboard and Stick Commands will still work, but the Mouse wont. Pressing WIN key isnt the Solution, it will restore Mouse to the Renderer Process, but you'll also restore Windows 7 Aero GUI Commands to the DX Pipe and they Both Fight for the DirectX Pipe, which is why you see your pinned Icons though your game on the bottom flickering.

 

My Solution is to ALT-TAB, then ALT-TAB Back, without opening the start menu.

 

Rebooting my PC Usually resolves the issue, until you click on something while DCSW is Transitioning from the GUI Processes to the Rendering Processes.

 

2. It's Asset Protection, You're Seeing the Inside of the Aircraft without the Cockpit or any Flaming Cliffs 3 Protected Content being Rendered.

 

FC3 even in BETA is not free, you must Pre-Order FC3 to get a Serial KEY to Activate Assets.
