Thanks! And that monitor is the 1920x1600 that you were quoting above?

You are aware that the Harrier, and related update, are currently only applicable to the Open Beta version, not 1.5.x release version and not v2.x Open Alpha.

And again posts by the same people who don't know what they're talking about, as usual.

The problem is the modules, it's rendering the MFCDs even when they're inactive.

Hell yeah Remon!
XIII and Ice are so silly and childish, everyone knows MFCD's are never part of beta testing, they are added just before release candidate is created.

Those two dudes will never know as much as you and me, we are the best!

I wasn't when I pre purchased the Harrier when it was announced but figured it out last night, quick question, now that I have downloaded and installed Open Beta again just for the Harrier, can I install my other DCS modules into Open Beta that I also have installed into my DCS World 2 Open Alpha without losing any more activations? on same PC of course? Have tried to google this and looked at their FAQ but cant seem to find an answer.

Still catching up with this new activation scheme that starts with the Harrier ... so I have got to fire up DCS Harrier every 3 days or lose it? surely not???? Was not aware of this when I pre-purchased the Harrier either!

Yeah, of course you can install your modules in open beta.

As for the new copy protection, no, it's nothing like that. Every time you log in to play you'll get a 3 day period during which you won't have to go online again to play it.

Thanks Remon, so I can install my modules in Open Beta as well as Open Alpha 2 without using up another activation, thats good, quite missed the old terrain map to be honest.

I think I understand the new Harrier copy protection thing now, seems a strange thing though, thank goodness all my other sims and games have nothing like this, so long as I am not in danger of losing my paid for modules ... because I can be quite an infrequent sim player being away from home for a month or so at times.

Going on deployment or on extended business shouldn't be an issue. DCS will simply re-check the next time you log in.

Sorry thats is totally WRONG

If you have NOT checked in every 4 days at least then DCS World STOPS working

Correct it will check in the next time you login, so you will be able to play for 4 days only if you are offline .... then nothing until you connect again

No mate you are screwed, if you cannot connect to ED servers every 4 days then your legally paid software will cease to function

Read what he said.

He specifically stated that he is an infrequent SIM player due to extended absences, ie HE DOES NOT PLAY for the month of his absence.

Upon his return, the program will authenticate and he’ll be free to play.

How is that ‘screwed’?

I think he interpreted Carefree as one of the deployed soliders we have in this world that indeed will be screwed 4 days into overseas deployment.

Still all feels a bit spyware-esk tho', begs the question why? Seems a strange choice considering the inevitable reaction.

You own a software company coding Flight Sims for a living.

Your company is bleeding X-thousand pounds a month down the crapper due to software piracy.

Would you not take all possible steps to mitigate your losses?

I honestly don't think those pirating stuff would be customers if blocked by DRM and as such no true sales are lost.
As such, DRM adds more trouble to legimite customers than securing revenue.

That’s the thing - will we ever know?

Probably not - none of our business. One thing is however certain: Starforce Proactive is not cheap and if a company pays for that service for years on end then there has to be a very good reason for it.
