    That sucks, I haven't had any issues with them before. I may have to go with kinguin for a little bit more if g2a is that annoying to deal with for bad keys.

    I'm not sure I will have the time to be a part of this, but in the spirit of fostering group events, I have forwarded this thread to our friends in the ELP.

    Hope you don't mind; I figured more people we know would be a good thing.

    Turns out they have a few DCS fans. Hope it works out. :)

    Resolved with a valid key.

    Just watch yourselves if you go with G2A. It's not a reseller. You are dealing through a market with anonymous people with keys from all over the world.

    This sounds good. I'm awaiting a set of rudder pedals before I attempt to tackle either the huey or hind - rudder control/torso twist is horrible with just a joystick! But I love helicopters :angryfap:

    Since I'm still learning the flight models and have just the Huey and defaults, I'll stick with:

    Combined Arms.

    20:00 to about 02:00 Zulu.

    Will buy either FC3 or Combined Arms as the initial module/s. (Bear in mind I am a total n00b with DCS :wat: )

    Timezone is 18:00 - 22:00 GMT or there about.

    Not bought any modules yet but would be buying either Huey or Blackshark next month sometime.

    Sadly my laptop is finally on its way out for warranty service, should only take up to 35 days to get back to me :shootself:

    I'm not sure how well DCS will run on my old desktop, still have to swap my graphics card back into it and test it. If it can run dcs then I'll be in the SU-25 as I'm not messing with using up module install authorizations for a month of use.
    Once my laptop is back,
    UH-1, Mi-8, L-39, and MiG-21 would be my preferred modules but with some notice I can field the A-10C, Gazelle, Combined Arms, or Ka-50 as need requires. I can also fall back to the FC3 aircraft or the SU-25 but I've not really spent any time working on learning them compared to the others.
    Times are mostly open other than Sundays and Tuesdays when I'm out with friends.

    Not sure how good these rudder pedals are but if on a little budget may be worth looking into https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01649IVI8/

    Forgot to add, just bought the Huey module off Kinguin for £12 and checked on DCS that key was legit. Will check if I can download the module from within game tonight.

    I have been able to take off in both the A-10 and SU-25. I now need to practice bringing them down in a single intact piece, instead of becoming a smear on the runway.

    I have made no progress at all recently. I simply don't have time to work on this with the amount of overtime I have to do at work. I still want this to happen it's just gonna take longer.

    Good, gives me more time to learn what the fuck I'm doing. I still have no idea how the fuck to land without implanting my nose into the tarmack, or ripping my tail off completely.

    Update time!!!

    I have made progress. I have just had 2 weeks of vacation and i have been able to spend some time working on this. So far i have just done some experimental missions for me to try things out.

    For the training missions i am considering to have the following playable units:
    6 x SU-25T
    2 x A-10C
    2 x L-39ZA
    2 x L-39C (Training flight unarmed)
    2 x M 2000C
    2 x MiG-21bis
    2 x Combined arms (1 x bluefor, 1 x opfor)
    2 x UH-1H
    2 x Mi-8
    2 x SA342M Gazelle
    2 x Ka-50

    Everything is loaded up for ground attack.

    There will be a waypoint over the airfield and one above the target range.

    Combined arms players will have so that they can practice basic movements, JTAC (blufor) and to fight against each other about capturing a city.

    That is all for now. Don't have a specific date for when we might get started but maybe september.

    Great. Have been trying to sort out my controls and stuff for the SU25 but for some reason using rudder rolls rather than yaws and am still trying to figure it out. Will get there eventually.....including controlling the Huey

    This came to a complete stop because I started focusing on Arma. As Arma have come to a complete stop I will be picking up this again.
