I am guessing Documentation and support on how to use the API for 3rd party FMs is all that is provided from ED. The 3rd party would be solely responsible for the actual FM - and ED supplies the interface for it to plug into.

Of course if a 3rd party want to use the SFM, I imagine it is a different matter.

OK, stop me if I got this wrong. If we already own DCS A-10C and we want to fly it in DCS World, we:

1. Download and install DCS World v1.2.0
2. Download and install the DCS World A-10C Module
3. Use the activation key that came with DCS A-10C in DCS World and it should work?

Correct. Addendum to 3. If you already activated DCS A-10C standalone on the same machine, there is no need to activate again.

Even better. Thank you, sir.

I just got DCSW up and running smoothly, just the Su-25 for the moment, if it runs well enough I might buy a module. I found out that I had to lower settings way below what I ran LOMAC on but it looks good enough. I'm now adapting an X-52 Profile that I had and found that the Saitek Profiler doesn't recognize RSHift commands only LShift (couldn't figure that out for a while) but at least I've completed two flights from the ramp and now I have to learn how to make things go boom! Are there any noobie servers out there where you can practice? I'd like to see if I can fly on a populated server and see what online is like.

I also would like to know if the modules contain their own specific commands or are they already covered in the DCS World commands/keys for example the P-51 will have Supercharger/Mixture/Radiator controls the A-10 wouldn't have, are they separate or do they utilize other pre-existing controls?

/Closed.

Correct, there is NO news to pass along at this time. When there is, it will be shared. My understanding though is that most of the current network focus is on completing the dedicated server.

The latest Saitek profiler can distinguish between left and right modifiers.

Each module has its own functions and keybindings. You can set each in the options window via the dropdown window on the upper left.

Hi Bong, with the latest version of the X-52 software, does it show on the throttle screen which button on the HOTAS you're pressing? I had that at one point but I formatted my PC to put a better HDD in and whatever version I have now doesn't display it any longer. Before it would say, for example, "TMS Left" when I hit that on my throttle, but now it says nothing. Doesn't matter now that I have things memorized, but I'd still like it back.
