Good evening, Since the last update, I experience almost constantly CTDs of DCS upon touchdown on the carrier. This happens both in the Tomcat and in the Hornet. Does anyone else have, or had, the same issue? Best regards.

What kind of recourse did Steam users actually have? As far as I know, no refunds, no store credit, and no alternatives were offered ... unlike ED store customers. Were there any real options available that I might’ve missed?

100% agree, I'm in that boat myself. It's no mystery that RB has been a bad faith actor and anyone who doesn't seem to get that is really trying their hardest. But, the idea that ED will shrug at us if nothing happens and just pull those 3 modules from the software when we hit 3.0? That's unacceptable. Pure and simple. The fact that ED wouldn't stop and see that as such? Talk about rudderless.

Do you perhaps have a track? In my very limited testing, they only appear, if you are slow, at 1.6Gs, or fast at 2Gs and above. So if you see them in level flight with a hint of back pressure, either it's more than just a hint of back pressure, or you are slow to begin with.

The updated manual is in the install folder of the AH-64D module. For example: G:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Doc\

I'm gonna push your butt against the stove for this one: So, which 3rd party modules would be lost to updates if their developer decides to not work with you anymore? It's ok you don't have that info, someone at ED does and can tell you.

Appreciate that and that’s really all I’m trying to get across. I’m not taking sides here... I just believe both parties should be held accountable. This isn’t about choosing ED or Razbam, it’s about the fact that paying customers are stuck in the middle with no real clarity. The situation doesn’t need miracles just transparency and responsibility. And let's not forget about those who have the other three modules.

yeah, but I still recall those users having some recourse.

I think that goes without saying and that was the case even before this issue. Though, don't operate under the assumption that if ED upsets everyone, we'd see a huge exodus to the other. The result will be a reduction in player numbers for a time before people forget and go back to whatever it was they preferred. That'll make a whole lot of gamers butthurt to hear, but it's the truth. I'd just want more flight sims, truthfully.

We just tested it. Every person has to call inbound. It can’t just be a flight lead, everyone in his group must call in individually to prevent CTD

Agreed I'm upset with both sides

What DCS and the community need is commercial competition. DCS is basically the only product in the realistic combat flight sim market.

If you can't get things settled then all I ask of ED is please make your own Strike Eagle, Harrier, MiG-19, and Mirage 2K

I at least agree with this sentiment. Pushing for a little more clarity cannot hurt.

Unless he has on Steam, he won't get anything for a known reason.

this has been reported to the team. thank you

Yes, Razbam deserves equal criticism... their communication and conduct have been extremely unprofessional. But the key difference here is that ED still holds the keys to the platform, and they’re the ones continuing to sell products and build community trust. So naturally, the responsibility to maintain that trust also falls on them... not just Razbam. At the very least, ED should be honest about their limitations and stop leaning on vague statements like "we hope for a resolution." People deserve clarity, not deflection.

The solutions and FIX are here and work fine: https://www.lotatc.com/news/2025/07/23/Last-DCS-fix.html

Да я тоже локти кусаю, что Харриер не купил в свое время. Ну да что теперь. Я ориентировался на эту фразу: "Eagle Dynamics confirms that it signed a settlement agreement with Razbam at the end of 2024 to put an end to the existing disputes and that such agreement also provides for a strict confidentiality requirement that prevents Eagle Dynamics from disclosing further information".

The approach light is not a standard landing light. It's an approach light used by Paddles for carrier landings at night. It's activated by lowering the tail hook. https://thanlont.blogspot.com/2012/04/night-carrier-landings-in-beginning.html

Is the Val a 3rd party mod?

I have been around DCS since the very beginning, playing the first A-10 game at release. Somewhere down the line years after, vortices were introduced or maybe just broken. In level flight, with just a hint of back pressure, I get heavy swirling vortices. In the A-10, I have to push the stick forward to get rid of them. Almost every input (minus nose down) creates these effects. It's to the point of ruining the game for me (not being able to enjoy the breathtaking exterior visuals). How can I get rid of these things? Any mods? Settings? I would SERIOUSLY even pay someone to find a way. How has this not been fixed yet? Surely I can't be the only one who thinks they need some work? I would absolutely love to return. Fingers crossed.

did Ron hire you?

Very true. From an outsider's perspective is seems that for both companies the best outcome would be to continue working together, sell more products, keep customers happy. Yet here we are. Razbam needs to go find other business venues, while ED is only starting to feel the brunt of customer dissatisfaction. Just imagine what will happen when they'll actually have to remove those modules from the game going forward. What that initially presented itself as gross miscommunication between the two parties, has spiralled to a point when the best outcome we can realistically hope for is that one company leaves DCS ecosystem and ED takes over barely maintaining the existing modules? Something that Chizh and other ED developers on the Russian side of the forum initially dismissed? Yay. Well done ED & Razbam, you've killed most of my "passion and support" for the game. Gone are the days of me buying more modules just to support DCS as a whole. Ah well, more time and money left to spend on other things.
