Mouse left/right buttons reversed? I noticed that when clicking switches in the cockpit that have 3 positions, e.g. position lights switch or IFFCC switch, the function of left/right mouse button is reversed. In the A-10C, left click would move the IFFCC switch up, and right click would move it down. In the A-10C II, it's reversed and it's screwing with my head :lol: Is this deliberate? Is there any way to change it?

If like me you like to deactivate all your modules before reinstalling Windows (10?) or moving to a new PC, you might be interested in this little PowerShell script: $mods = "C:\SteamSSD\SteamApps\common\DCSWorld\Mods" Get-ChildItem "$mods" -Filter "*protect.exe" -Recurse | Where-Object { $_.fullname -notmatch "x86" } | ForEach-Object { &$_.fullname /lic:deactivate /nogui } You need to change the value of the '$mods' variable to the mods folder in your DCS installation. It'll deactivate every module silently (with /nogui) Of course, please understand what you're running before you run it :) I hope its useful to someone! It certainly was to me

Hey all, I thought I'd post this here because people might appreciate it and it took me so long to do. I've flown around the world in the Learjet in FSX. I've attached the IFR flight plans for my trip. Lessons learned: At 35kft at mach .80 the learjet can fly further than the manual states The Pacific Ocean is massive Africa is huge Saudi Arabia is as boring as the ocean patience is a virtue I flew 40000km for 60 hours without ever changing the simulation rate.

The main reason I used the pro clip is because the camera has to be in a different mode, which I think is lower sensitivity which means it doesn't detect the IR noise coming through my window on bright days. If the PC was in a better place it wouldn't be an issue but I can't easily move it to face away from the window. In terms of actual tracking I think the pro clip is better for looking down, but its not that much different

Yeah I bought the pro-bundle that came with the hat track clip, which is fine, but its frustrating that NaturalPoint charges so much for something so flimsy..

I just dropped my headset and broke my Track-clip pro... its well and truly busted unless I hash it together with tape like some sort of peasant. Looks like an order of £35 from NaturalPoint In need of sim-sympathy brothers :(

I experimented with the 'RTB on Bingo Fuel' option for a tanker, but it doesn't seem to work. I have a tanker do a racetrack for like an hour, then it decides it has to head home.. its flight pattern changes, it breaks out of its racetrack, but it just flies this weird circuit and never actually lands back at the airport it took off from. Until it falls like a brick My questions are: Do I have to do anything special to get this to work? I set the option to 'on' at the tankers initial position. What should happen? Will the tanker RTB, refuel, then repeat its flight plan? Or just RTB and do nothing?

Yeah sorry I looked up more about how to use it. Its good that all dependencies are just bundled in the miz cheers

I'm guessing thats what I want. I'm guessing that 'destroyed' units are still considered present by the game, and that there must be some sort of unit limit (or performance degradation) so would be nice to trigger a cleanup. I'm not really impressed that MIST seems to be the way to go... does this mean I would have to have other people download MIST too?

Hi I had a look at the wiki on lua scripting and although its ok it doesnt tell you that much.. is it possible to: programmatically delete a unit from the world (if its destroyed or otherwise) programmatically add a unit to the world (given unit type and coordinates) If so, how? Appreciated

A-10 to be retired from service Does this mean they are selling them cheap? If so I'll buy one http://americanmilitarynews.com/2013/09/r-i-p-a-10-warthog/

I've seen USB 'throat mics' for sale but it seems that some cheap ones are just that, a microphone that sits round your neck (what!?). That would really suck. A real laryngophone uses a transducer coil to detect the vibration from inside your throat. Does anyone have any experience with using them for PC?

Thanks SkateZilla for the reply Indeed, I notice now that if I visit the store page for 'A-10 Warthog DLC', it states I already own it (cool!) And also, I just activated my Black Shark 2 key on steam, so that should work if I install it. Seems that the P51 And Huey keys don't work yet though.. They are a different format with no dashes, maybe a different key database...? Once I can activate everything on Steam, it will be the way to go in the future :)

Hi All, It seems that Steam has now seen 2 different 'warthogs': The original standalone product The new DLC for the free 'DCS world' I bought the original stand-alone product, which was only ever updated to 1.1.1.1 via Steam. Then I used the same serial number that I got from Steam to activate the newer version from DCS.com and stopped using my Steam version. I also bought a serial for Black Shark 2, P51 and UH-1 via DCS.com Is it possible to use the serial number that I already bought ages ago for Warthog (on Steam) and my existing serials for other modules, with the Steam installation of DCS world and its modules? I tried 'Activate a product on Steam' but.. does that ever work? :P I guess this is a common question... Does anyone have any idea or is there official announcements from ED?

If my work required me to do this I would ask them to spring for a PC/laptop so I could do it without disrupting my personal machine Your employer is obviously not a sim pilot :pilotfly:

It may expend energy yes but isn't it sometimes useful to deliberately skid the hog? What can I say, I'm a loose cannon :-P

As already stated the A-10's SAS co-ordinates turns automatically I find the rudder is most useful when you are so low that banking too much will contact the inside wing with the ground. Combine a slight bank with rudder into the turn and you can stay as low as possible throughout the turn. It responds nicely to being 'powerslid' as well to keep the nose down during sharp turns

I've never figured out how this works.. see the attached image.. Using the TM Warthog Boat Switch as an example, forward position is button 9, aft is button 10. The centre position isn't a button, and therefore can't be assigned to anything The DCS A10 behaves exactly as it should, straight out of the box. However, the Huey landing light has 3 assignable controls: Retract Extend Stop 'Stop' is an assignable.. I need to assign something to it in order to be able to make the landing light stop moving. How do I get: Retract = Boat Switch aft Extend = Boat Switch forward Stop = Boat Switch centre I really don't like the idea of installing TARGET.. I've lived without it up to now

I was that A10 pilot! :P Emphasis on 'was' was about 375 kts straight into the cockpit

Is this an actual bug reporting thread? Must be near impossible for ED to keep track of bugs reported through the forums... Anyway this may be one someone could experiment with.... I was just in an MP mission and fired a AGM65D at a taxiing Mig29... on impact, the game crashed! Maybe it was just my client that crashed, I hope I didn't bring the server down... Perhaps its something someone can replicate...?

I love the idea of weekly updates.. Little and often will be very welcome. DCS is serious software and most people can't appreciate whats involved in development/testing.. Its seldom mentioned that ED must be putting in an awful lot of continuous work. I don't know exactly how much man-power they have, but just look at the massive list of additions/fixes we get in a minor update! 1.2.3 to 1.2.4 etc... makes me wonder how good 1.3 will be. Thanks ED for all your hard work so far. The weekly updates will be just another reason to love Fridays :)

Oh I see it now too! weird... Also, chrome didn't seem to like the website.. whenever I looked at my cart it thought I wasn't logged in... Used IE and it worked.. Thanks :)

So... how can I pay for the English version? Help me give you my money, ED! :-D

I don't see the English version to buy in the E-Shop of P-51D..? All I see is German Spanish and Czech... I found the English download version and have installed it, but of course I need to buy an activation key.. Am I missing something?
