DCS 1.5.1 update

[Robert]

It's actually pretty easy to do simple formation in DCS. Just go into the mission editor and set up whatever planes to fly a course and start your player airplane with them. When you launch the mission you'll be near them and can then saddle up close.

But all you can do are simple straight courses and turns. No loops or rolls and the more complex stuff. And if you get too close to them they will reposition away from you. And they have to be on the same side as you or else they come at you guns and rockets blazing.

I haven't tried in the new version but it worked well in the old version and I have some videos up from when I was flying DCS before DCOC or FlyInside.

I need to get back in the groove with DCS though!

I can't use my YS-1000 Halo Sabre in DCS, and until I get a better rig with decent FPS/no judder, I won't be joining.

I have thought about crashing a FIFSX multi with the YS-1000, but thinking about it some more, it might be considered rude.

Latest hotfix breaks everything. Cannot load any flight beware.

I encountered a substantial error with DCS requiring a total system reformat...blech! Anyhow, I'm still doing it :/ Did they come out with an update today?

Derek and Techy,
Are you saying that DCS got a hotfix today (actually about 8 hours ago oro so) - and that I have been reinstalling everything for the last few hours because of the hotfix since right before loading a flight it stops with an error!

If so, well, at least I'm not worried about my PC.

Thanks

Dave

Your pc is fine Dave. That's what I got also. Hopefully they do a hot fix for the hot fix !!!

No, the latest patch did not bork my system. I had an issue with what appears now to be a corrupted registry unrelated to DCS. It's my gaming box, and I keep it very well maintained. However, something got really screwed up so I decided to wipe it all off and start anew to save any further stress. DCS loads up and is fully updated, but now, sadly, it crashes when about to get in the plane.

Looks like they might have pulled the latest update, I was unable to download it last night (thankfully by the sounds of it!) and the autoupdater doesn't pick up a new version now at all.

Bruce,
Are you saying that we could uninstall and reinstall and get back to working with Steam?

Please, if anyone gets going DCS+Oculus going again, please post here to let us all know - Thanks!

On another note, have any of you had success loading the latest FlyInside 0.5? The installer hangs on my PC - only the FSX Preview version loads OK

[Bruce_C]

I'm running the stand alone DCS. It might be worth a try downloading that version? My guess is it will update to the latest working release. My install is working fine.

I've not tried FlyInside 0.5 as I've got the current beta installed but will have a look. Add me on steam if you want to talk DCS
