I use the random mission generator to judge actual performance with AI etc. and not just flying around in an empty world. Just generate a mission with max of everything and you should have a mission that is pretty active.

That's another option I could try. Thanks

I was pretty busy this weekend...but I managed to get a little stick time in tonight. With everything maxed...it's running pretty smooth on my system in my sig.






I did see a bug in the wheels of an A-10 during a mission. I created a fast mission with the Huey...I didn't last very long as I'm out of practice...but after I crash landed I checked around the battlefield and saw this shot up A-10 trying to land.






He did land and roll down the runway fine...just missing the wheel textures. I haven't been following bug reports so this might already be a well known bug.

Nice Spotting that bug.

Just wanted to say, no matter what you do, you will have to at least map you Axis commands again.

This is easy enough. I began by going into instant actions in everything I fly and redoing my axis.

Then I began building the settings on F-15, Mig-21 ect... Now I find out you can just import from 1.2!

Awesome!

This is just a beautiful release. No, it's not perfect but good enough to deserve a GOOD JOB GUYS!

Has anyone had any luck installing the black shark module that was the upgraded version, not the 2.0 version?

When's it likely to come out of beta?

And will it update to 1.5 via the normal updater?

Bumfluff,

Answer to no 1. NEVER

Answer to no 2. NEVER

You must download from the site and make a new install.

The Open Beta installer copied all modules over (~18GB for me).
No problems at all.

Maybe you could post on the ED forums

There are these crazy people going "I would pay $100's of dollars for these modules" .. slobber .. slobber. ... dribble

Stick up a post asking if they would put their money where their mouths are and gift you BS2 full version?

I had this very horrible experience this weekend. I almost gave up and rebought it. Here is the bottom line.
Open a ticket with ED. You will get quick service. I ended up getting a file from ED I had to run in order be able to run BS2.

In the meantime, Make sure you have BS1 up and running first. You need two files when you dl BS1. It goes as a separate install (NOT IN DCSW). Once that is up, then you run into the frustration I had. BS2 installs but says the code is no good. At this point ED will send you a file to fix your problem.

Give them a chance. They will sort you out.

My Axis copied over fine by dragging the controls file over from the saved games folder...

That said, I get a CTD anytime I go to generate a fast mission with the F-15C and any wingmen. Anyone else having this issue? Not worth reporting if it's a know bug.

In general, I couldn't have a flight last longer than 10 min though, before a CTD, but I realized I didn't have the latest nvidia drivers (using a version from August). Updated on Sunday but haven't had a chance to see if that fixes anything.

Well, there you go copying stuff over lol.. Sorry, Aggressor, I couldn't resist. I am now a little hesitant to try this. Its better to just program one module at a time. If your CTD is due to this or something else, who knows.

To get back to BS2 problems.

When you install BS2 you need to pick BS2 Upgrade International license.

When that did not work for me ED gave me file to run that fixed my registry keys.
I uninstalled, the module, rand the fixer then installed BS2 and I was good to go.

Glad you got sorted , last time I opened a "support" (term used loosely) ticket with ED it took a few weeks to get it answered

hey storm, what resolution are you using? I set mine to 3840x2160. The game didn't scale it properly. I had to go into c/users/me/saved games/DCS:openbeta/config/options.lua and manualy change the width and height in the graphics section to 2560x1440. Dunno if its the same thing as you've experienced but I now get the full screen displayed properly


My Config folder is empty. Should I drag over from 1.2?

I'm curious why only a few of us are having the same blackout/lock issues while most are not?!?

Thanks Redd,
Jeff

EDIT: Progress. I drug over the contents of the Config folder and the sim loaded and I got my installed modules moved over via the in game manager. Got a CTD during the A-10A CAS mission, but progress was made. Thanks again!

Guys, I just figured out the Mig-21 has changed a lot of controls from 1.2 to 1.5. Deng it! That means I will be programming my aircraft one at a time. A lot of controls have been changed to toggle controls.
You did write down your stuff on a document? Hope so...
