    Re: DCS: Normandy WW2

    Uninstalled it, the control set up menu is completely non intuitive for me.

    Tried for two days for it to recognise my Thrustmaster 2 slider control for the throttle.

    Sorry guys, must be me.

    .. the control set up menu is completely non intuitive for me.
    Don't worry, people say the same about controls setup in all "flight games" released until today.

    Tried for two days for it to recognise my Thrustmaster 2 slider control for the throttle.
    DCS controls GUI interface has difficult to "see" some controllers axis movement (this happens in IL-2:BoS too), but easy to solve:

    Select the axis by name in popup menu, then test/revert/tune in "Axes tune" button.

    Mike,
    Are you referring to DCS 2.x.x alpha version?
    If so, it is broken at the moment - particularly reading joystick input for many people.
    The Beta version and release version should work just fine.

    Re: DCS: Normandy WW2

    Hi guys,

    v1.5.6 i had installed. Did the whole thing with the slider in the setup menu and the visual depiction shows it moving.

    But in game nothing sorry. I did it in the General setup menu for axis and also in the P51D setup.

    I find the CLOD way of doing things very easy to setup. Select an option and bang a key.

    Best regards,
    Mike.

    This is unusual.
    Can you check your devices in the Windows control panel and see if your joystick is being recognized at the Windows level? Is it calibrated OK?

    Strange, in my DCSW 1.5.6 in Options > General has no option for throttle, nor for set axes.

    In TF-51D, notice that are the Game and the Sim, you are setting in the one you choose fly - in Gameplay > Presets?

    In Axes tune tick the Slider - means a axis without center position (like rudder).

    Re: DCS: Normandy WW2

    Is throttle not thrust then 1lokos in the settings ?

    Does DCS save the user config in an editable file like CLOD buddy, might be easier to set it there.

    I better go re-install it then and have another go.

    Apologies to everyone, i am being a real muppet today.

    Best regards,
    Mike.

    Mike,
    Yes, it saves the config files - check here: C:\Users\YourNameHere\Saved Games

    Cheers

    ps: After install, make sure to run the module first so that it can create the config folders. Anything you change in the setup GUI is kept in the Saved Games folder.

    Mike,
    Thrustmaster 2? Which stick do you have and do you have to run the Target software with it?

    TARGET work only for Warthog, Cougar and T.16000M.

    Others Thrustmaster joysticks are made by 3rd party OEM using generic electronics and is not compatible with target.

    Sorry Catseye, being a total lemon buddy.

    It's a Sidewinder Precision 2, my only excuse is i am completely new to any sort of flight sim and it is the first joystick i have owned.

    Is the area he was flying over in the livestream around Caen?

    I don't see a lot of hedgerows... but they were generally located further West.

    TF is hoping at some point to update our Channel map with real hedgerow type terrain where it should be.

    Ahh hedgerows the missing link, will be a much needed addition to the terrain.

    I hate to say this but here it is - I've noticed over the years how the developers from DCS (no country named), haven't got a clue about the second world war in reference to Western Europe.

    Sadly, it takes a big reaction from the community for them to realize how important certain details are and they are not trivial. For example, I took exception to the fact that there are no RCAF squadrons in place for 1944 and troops on the Normandy Beach landings are referred to as British and did not include Canadians who took a major part in the invasion.

    I could go on but it would be useless.

    I do hope that TF can make a quick leap in their next update as it has been far too long and many, like myself, have fallen off COD through lack of updates and no apparent way forward. IMHO, shorter time intervals between updates that don't necessarily have to be huge are a great incentive to stay.

    But hey, two topics in one.

    Looking forward to what the future may bring.

    Rant off . . . . . .

    Cats . . . .

    ps. The damage modelling in COD is far, far superior to DCS and the gameplay far exceeds that of DCS. This community could explode should the appropriate path be taken regarding sequencing of upgrades now that the formalities are complete.

    I would gladly pay for a Tiffy for example. I miss the sorties that FB had - P-38's, P47's, FW-190's etc.
    Lots of room for progression here.

    Finally no more Caucasus
    Just started the game for the first time in many, many month, because of this.
    I managed to get the codes for the map and the assets pack but where and how can I donwload and add them to my game?

    Sorry for the stupid question

    Edit:
    Oh, I think I finally understood. The keys are available, but not yet the downloads.
    Put it down to old age ...

    Re: DCS: Normandy WW2

    Just got this email from the developers:
    (Unfortunately I don't have the sim installed atm so I cannot check out the map)

    "Dear Kickstarter Backers,

    Honoring our commitment to the DCS: World War II Kickstarter backers that contributed $140.00 or more, we are happy to provide you an Alpha look at the DCS: Normandy 1944 Map! The Alpha is a fully, separate build that will function only until the Normandy Map is available for download as an Early Access to all. Once the Early Access version is released, you will be provided new keys, and the map will be integrated into DCS World 2.1 (the Nevada and Normandy maps will share a common version).

    The build is available here: [deleted link]

    To gain access, please first generate a key from within WWII Backer Rewards section of our website. Then, use this key when prompted the first time you play the Normandy map. You should then be happily flying over the skies of Normandy!

    As an Alpha release, please understand that the map is still under construction, and performance optimization is on-going. We do though look forward to your feedback to make the map the best it can be.

    We sincerely hope you enjoy this early look at the Normandy map,
    The Eagle Dynamics team"

    I got a key for a 40 pledge?! Maybe its a mistake, and I'll end up paying. Can't say I 'm ready to install another instance just to test anything out though. I hope they hurry and make DCS a 1 install thing. Looking forward to checking out the new stuff..map looks sweet !

    Re: DCS: Normandy WW2

    I also pledged 40 $.
    That gave me two aircraft and now the keys for the map and the assets pack.
    The deal is so good I almost feel guilty, even if I did not spend more than two hours with it yet.
