DCS Discussion

Ugh...

[Redwolf]

Wanted to play some DCS, but fails to authorize my modules. Properly logged into both steam and ED, rebooted etc, still no dice. I have other things to play.

None of them? When is the last time you played? I played a lot last night and there were no issues and no updates since.

There was an authorization issue with the F-14 module after the last update that is caused by Windows Defender. The solution was to exclude a offending file or folder folder from the virus protection.

I last played in December.

I had auth failures before, always for all modules. But they usually cleared themselves by restarting the game. Not so today.

Maybe I should switch to the non-steam version.

I feel like this is the first take I've seen on this anywhere that isn't just clickbaity "pay Razbam!!!" nonsense.

Great video Jar.

Based on pretty thin information, too.

As a consumer I continue to think that if I give ED $70 in a way that strongly implies that a portion of that goes to the aircraft maker and that doesn't happen I need to be informed. This is misappropriation of funds. It's between ED and me that isn't OK.

Cold War Germany map released today! 

[Destraex]

Its good to have a modern high fidelity map that is green. Does the map have any mountainous areas?
I also wonder if it's popular enough that people will actually host the map. Then I might consider it.

I would have prefereed a vietnam map though. Still need to get rid of the f15 and replaxe it with the phantom I thibk.

[Jarhead0331]

This is one of the most commonly asked for maps. It's going to be wildly popular.

[Redwolf]

That Germany map with Hamburg and Berlin is relevant to my interests.

But I am on a pause of investing more into DCS.  Hmmm...

[rss334]

I forgot the game existed

1. An hour invested in getting the flight sim chair working and all the peripherals plugged in

2. 3 hours of constantly saying the F word just trying to get the g2 headset to recongize

3. Finally sit down only to realize whatever I've done none the controls are mapped and it will take another hour before I can fly again

4. Here we go, ON NO wait I've got to download a DCS update that won't be done for 6 more hours

5. By the next day I've lost interests, oh well see you next year DCS

Definitely too much fiddling.

I recently lost all controller assignments on all planes. Why aren't those stored in the online account?

I save them on my local HD.
