Running a DCS dedicated server under wine works very well and for a "hobby" I'm willing to take the risk that it might break. Don't worry, my "production" environments will never see Windows anywhere. But that's an off-topic discussion, I guess. My main concern is about IPv6. The world is rapidly running out of IPv4 addresses, they are getting increasingly hard to get and expensive and - at least in my vicinity - more and more Providers start to offer connectivity w/o IPv4 (or severely crippled, like CGN, NAT64, ...). Even large Providers like AWS or smaller but popular ones like Hetzner have started to offer IPv6 by default and make it increasingly hard to get v4. IPv6 is almost 25 years old and I wonder why/if there is no first class support in DCS.

Thanks, that worked. However that seems to be a recent regression. My windows clock is always off by one hour because it doesn't play nicely with dual boot. Why do you need to change this just now? This seems like an overly tight check.

Same here :(

Hi, DCS is loading painfully slow from my spinning disk, so I plan to get an SSD, move/reinstall DCS to the SSD and enjoy (hopefully) faster loading times. Is this a change that requires a re-activation? Should I deactivate my license before installing the SSD? Please advise!

Just received my key. Thank you very much. You guys rock! :pilotfly:

Still waiting ... :huh:

That'd be nice, indeed. Didn't hear anything from LS so far.

DCS Mi-8MTV2 Magnificent Eight, please :)

Unlikely. Their seeker is at the nose.

Please do that. That would help a lot. As would using a proper CDN.

Lucky dude. My flight stuff is a few hundert km from where I'm in the next few days :(

Thanks for that x-mas present Wags. Glad I did already buy FC3 :pilotfly:

Uhm ... no. Well ... it's close enough ;) As far as this discussion is concerned I herby define "running on Linux" as "running on a distribution that runs a linux kernel" ;)

Based on what facts? They can very vell. Usually they buy "solutions" not software packages. Those may very well include everything they need to run the software. Did you hear what the US military did with their UAV control software? They gave a multi-million dollar contract to Raytheon to port it from windows to linux. If they want/need something they get is. Money is not important with an organisation this large. And as soon as the US military adopts something it becomes immedeately interesting to lot more countries (their allies).
