There's a lot of DCS fans here, JonnyD, and I like to think for good reason. I hope you enjoy the experience as much as any of us, and am looking forward to hearing/seeing your adventures. Hopefully I get to fly them with you, too!

It's a pretty critical problem that just shuts down multiplayer fun - we had 6 folks last night trying for 15 minutes or so to get in before we decided to go back to 1.1.1.1 - which excluded some of those folks from playing since they didn't have it downloaded/installed!

I'm sure (hoping?) that ED knows about the issue and is working on a fix. As soon as we know, we'll announce it here.


Which sort of contradicts your sceptical statement above:

Good job I took your post with the pinch of salt it deserved.

I'm not trying to make an argument here - just making a point, which I'm sure you'll respond to, telling me how wrong I am neaner

I'm missing my DCS A-10 action. Real life reared up and snagged all my free time lately. I've got to go splash around in the pool and inflate a life raft for "survival training" today. LOL..

Can't wait to get back to my campaign..

Ah, I thought that would be the case when your next Georgian Hammer AAR failed to appear.

Never mind - I'm reading through your Deployment reports for the Ka50 again and it has got me in the mood to give it a go thumbsup


Shame that survival training doesn't help you in DCSW! biggrin

I've had half a dozen CDTs playing Georgian Hammer. I've stopped playing it because the crashes are happening late in the missions after I've devoted quite a lot of time and effort to succeed. I probably should clear out my Saved Games/DCS folder and reinstall but that seems like a bit too PITA right now. Eventually.

I've just flown the first Deployment mission (the 45 minute 'follow the Hind' one) and it went very well. In fact, I can't remember the last time the trimmer worked so well. Maybe I'm just getting better at using it, but it certainly helps having the FFB on my G940.

I was flying okay with it and using the trimmer in BS1 (was terrible with my X52) then for some reason I had real problems with it in BS2. v1.1.1.1 improved things and I don't know if there has been any tweaks to DCSW 1.2 or if as said, I'm just getting more experienced with it but it was great this evening on my first 'proper' DCSW Ka50 mission.

I also saw lots of allied military vehicles that I never saw in BS1 - maybe because I didn't have time to notice then (too busy trying to keep the Hind in sight) - but have now smile

Would have flown mission 2 today, but my 'Golfer's Elbow' is playing up now - that's the disadvantage of FFB!

Bet I can screw this campaign up better than Beach! biggrin

- not that I'm suggesting you screwed it up, Beach - but I probably will wink

PS - looking at my screenshots and thinking back to the flight - my scenery looks nothing like as lush and detailed as yours in the Georgian Hammer AARs frown

Have to have a fiddle (mebbe use the enb files?)

Nate

What exactly does that do..?

Increasing the "increaseuserva" parameter to 3GB will maximize the amount of memory that 32-bit Windows OS can access/use: the default value is 2GB. Since your sig shows you have 4 GB of RAM, this should give DCS one more GB of RAM to play with, a 50% increase!


It wouldn't work for me, "The boot configuration data store could not be opened" .
