Hawk Preview Installation File

We would like to thank you for your pre-order of the Hawk for DCS world.

Whilst we work to get the Beta release version working, we would like you to enjoy the preview version of the Hawk.



This is a preview version and not the Beta version due for release soon.

Some features are not implemented yet, textures are not final and this does not represent the final product and some features may change during Beta.



The activation code provided to you by either VEAO or ED will work with the preview version AND the Beta version, you do NOT need two separate keys.



Please refer to the installation and activation instructions found in the QuickStart guide here:

http://www.veaosimulations.co.uk/dcs...tart_Guide.pdf



To find your activation key on the ED store, go to the "My Orders" page under the Personal Section on their website here



Enter that key, or the key provided via Email from VEAO, into the activation box and click OK.



When you spawn into the Hawk within DCS World the product will activate for the first time. If in the cockpit you do not see the warning flags on the dials (if cold start) or none of the cockpit functions work then the product did not activate.

If all is working ok then the product did activate.

Refer to the QuickStart guide activation section for example pictures of this.



Here is the link to the installer file:

Please make sure you leave the box ticked for "Activate Hawk" when installing and enter the code you have been given.



Guys, I've just found out that the preview version does not run on Steam versions of DCS, it looks like you will need to wait until it's out on Steam, or install another copy of DCS World from direct download www.dcs-world.com. Apologies I didn't know this.



Problems with Activation

It looks like some anti-virus or firewall products are blocking the activation process.



We recommend turning off your AV and Firewall during activation.



Activation occurs when you spawn into the Hawk cockpit in DCS for the first time, not when you enter your key.

Entering the key just validates it's a correct key.



So we recommend the following steps:

1. Install the Hawk and enter your product key

2. Turn off anti-virus and firewall

3. Open DCS and enter one of the Instant Action missions for Hawk

4. This will activate the Hawk

5. Quit DCS and turn your AV / Firewall back on
