"It's in progress, but no timeline."

 

That should be the signature of DCS in general.

I just bought Nevada on steam. just out of frustration that it does not make sense for me to get BoK because of this:

hey Zebra update your dx and dot net fx 4.0

 

looks like your behind your windows 10 updates is your getting that error.

 

if that isn't it redownload the newest NVIDIA drivers and reinstall them but first do a complete uninstall of those drivers.

Disclaimer: I don't fly much in DCS. For what it's worth, I don't like the Nevada map much. Training operations don't tickle my fantasy much. Desert isn't all that exciting either.

 

Fantastic for helicopters, simply cannot get enough of it

I have planes bought on steam inside a non-steam installation.

 

But that might not work for all DLC, it seems. From the newsletter:

 

 

Today we are happy to announce that DCS World 2.1.1 and associated DLC content are available on Steam. [...]

As part of the DCS World 2.1.1 release, we are also making available the DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range map. As DCS World 2.1.1 does NOT include the Caucasus map, the NEVADA map is a required DLC purchase to use DCS World 2.1.1. Additionally, we have released two campaigns for DCS World 2.1.1: A-10C: 16-2 Red Flag Campaign and F-15C: 16-2 Red Flag Campaign.

Please note that these DLCs use Steam Keys instead of Starforce keys. As such, this purchases cannot be activated on the DCS World E-Shop version.

It seems nice that you´re trying to be helpful, but throwing haphazard advice out just isn´t.

Whatever - can't blame someone for having a crack. I was gonna help, but figure it out yourself.

That sounds pretty passive agressive... If you really had something helpful, here is the place: https://forum.il2sturmovik.com/topic/30090-nvidia-graphics-issues-post-here/

 

All I was telling Mastiff (who allready had been participating there) that telling a non Windows 10 user his bug is caused by not having his win 10 updated properly is not helpful at all, as all the issues he mentioned have been ruled out... since weeks. thanks.

[Guest deleted@30725]

Ah well, hope you get it fixed soon.

 

Just noticed there is a DCS flash sale till the 4th. Bit late to the party on it though.

DCS Hornet at night:

im tempted by the hornet...

F/A-18 looks really good! I might even purchase it even though DCS products haven't been very appealing to me lately. Does it come with a Finnish skin?

DCS: NS430 released. It's a GPS system for the Mi-8 and possibly other aircraft later. You read that right, DCS: GPS addon. It's $15. Link: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/shop/modules/ns430/

The manual for this thing is 90 pages long, will be a nice read.

A DCS module for only $15?

 Im not understanding all the hate this module is getting elsewhere online, If it's compatible with the aircraft I own, I might well get it. 15 quid is cheap.

Maybe, just maybe the "hate" is due to the fact that folk have paid for certain products that remain unfinished while the developers spend their time making a product that really isnt necessary once one masters the use of the F10 key. Its not hate its anger. Its a cash grab from a company that has failed to project manage in any competent way. Their business model is failing due to that and its complete disregard for its customers. So the loyal customers who remain are having to pay for the continued development of the already paid for products with $h1te like a freakin GPS for a helicopter.

"cash grab". Lol. The company is in business to make money. They seem to be doing pretty well at it, so I don't know about your claim that their business model is failing. It can't very well be a "cash grab" if no one buys it. And if lots of people buy it (thus grabbing cash for ED) then people wanted it and are happy to have the chance to buy it.

 

Simple logic. I recommend it.

 

I won't buy it. Seems silly to me. But to get angry that they are making and selling a product you don't happen to prefer with a team added in addition to those working on completing the products you do want and have bought in advance without being forced to knowing they will take an indeterminate time to complete....well, that just makes me smile.

 

You don't seem to understand how ED works at all.

 

You don't have to pay for anything you don't want to. Fly the free world they gave you with whatever aircraft you have bought that are complete and be happy.

I'm not angry about their decision to make a GPS addon and I'm happy with how BST releases modules in general. But I did find it a bit silly at first glance. Ignoring the F10 map, the Mi-8 is already equipped with a reasonably good navigation system. I'd call it a cash grab, but I can't see many people buying it. It seems obvious to me that this type of thing wouldn't sell well and I would be surprised if the guys at BST thought it would. After a bit of thought, I suspect it may have been done for some specific reason (eg a flight school wanted it and paid upfront for development). I don't think it makes any sense for the typical DCS player regardless of why it was made.

Regardless of whether it is an attempted 'cash grab', this GPS thing looks to me to be further evidence of EDs inability to focus.

[Sokol1]

Could fit one in Spit Mk.IXe? That Magnetic Compass is "reversed".

Belsimtek made it not ED.

[Lusekofte]

I bought it, that GPS unit. Worth it you ask? I do not know, I spent 15$ on far worse things, some gave me a hangover. Nothing is worth it if you cannot afford it

[Solty]

To me it seems pointless. I would never buy something like that.

Need read that 90 page manual first.

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

GPS drama asides, would you DCS folk recommend the F-5 or the MiG-21 to get started?

[Lusekofte]

I own both, I like russian planes for some reason. The MIG 21 is great but I think the F 5 gives you a lot more. Personally I would choose that one. Easy compared to other modules, but still a lot to learn

[Lusekofte]

 

Was it something I said? or did? or both. I like to have a GPS unit on the module I fly the most, I had no problem with navigation before, I guess it will be a good thing to have more systems.

Your headbanging seems to me as one of two things. You will have a major ulster in the near future caused by your passive aggressive behaviour, I reccomend comunicate like a man, or you are making a stupid attempt on a personal insult towards me, if that is the case, then...

Folks, keep it civil. No need for personal insults or commending on someone`s likings regarding DCS modules.

 

Ah, and by the way. This thread is called "DCS news". It is not called "what I don`t like about DCS and have to repeat the same old arguments over and over again" Sorry, gents, but it`s getting annoying. If you don`t like the sim, perfect. No need to participate in this thread then.

Thanks!

[ram0506]

I don't own the Mig, but the F-5 is the ideal aircraft for getting into complex modules. Everything you need, no unnecessary gimmickry. Fits perfectly for the Nevada map, if you own it.

It was because you gave no context. You said you brought the gps, but did not expand whether it had been any use that's all. Nothing personal. Everyone always think this... Doesn't matter. I'm sure there will be lots of info about it.

You get a nuke in the mig-21. Big boom, boom! Also the mig is comlex, but fairly easy to use. I've only owned the 21 in the past, not used the f-5. The 21 is not much of a flyer - it's a fast intercept plane so it's more about fast in a straight line. It's still a good plane though. I went to see the 21 in a museum and a day later I picked up the module. It looks so good for real and flying it was about as close as I was ever going to get to this iconic plane using it in DCS.

Sod all of you, you're not helping - now I'm getting both

[Danziger]

MiG-21Bis is great. I don't have the F-5. I was never able to get myself away from the MiG long enough to buy other DCS modules.

[Lusekofte]

You see that is all you had to say, I have no idea if I will have use for it or how it works. I got it 3 days ago, did not get recognized by the game until yesterday, witch made me choose flying with mates on FNBF or try it out.

I was responding to the is it worth it and who would buy such a thing. Unfortunately this discussion is going on all over the interweb, 15$ for what? are we to buy landing gears for the planes too? kind of attitude.

Software is expencive to develop, if the price is 15$ to get it I pay, rather than not having it. I like prepping before a mission setting a flightplan , push switches and play a real pilot for a little time. That is why I bought it, I need a week or two to actually see if it is any good

[216th_Lucas_From_Hell]

It's not a stretch, and it fits well within ED's model. Probably an experiment to see if there is interest and financial viability for such things.

[Monostripezebra]

Good decison, the F5 and Mig21 are both really really good modules and fit well together... Settings with both are so far my favorite Jet combat setting.
