Pff this is disapointing.

It looks like a bug. Or maybe you need to manually reload some how.

Yup.. having stability issue's as well since the new patch. After 20/30 minutes of play it just crashes on me. Right now i'm waiting for a fix for that and a fix/improvement for the AIM-120. Won't play until both these things are becoming better. I'm highly frustrated with the game right now. Never had this before with DCS, most things i could cope with but these two things make it impossible for me to have some fun. Missing the 51st server already :(

Everything is subject to change right :P ;)

Awesome. Thanks for letting me know. I like fast movers better. But A WW2 enviroment would be super as well. As long as we can use the terrain for fast movers as well to have some nice missions.

Would love a E3 or tanker as well :) But C-17 or any other transport would be nice to. I would escort that for sure to make sure he can deliver his payload. But carrying paratroopers and see them bail over the ntarget area should be a must making that aircraft. Would b a awesome sight seeing 100 AI jump out and land to start their mission.

One September? What did i miss?

Is it out yet??? I'm getting all itchy waiting for this jet to come out I want to fly me some MultiRole... :) :)

Yup. learning the game wasn't the big frustration.. But setting up the controls in a easy way was. It went something like this when i first started. * Installed and started the game. * Checked the video options and controls. * No clue on where all the controls are supposed to be on the HOTAS so started up Single player. * Once in SP. Ow hmm maybe i should edit the controls now, now i understand a little bit more about it. * Pressed ESCAPE. After several minutes of looking around and trying some key combinations. Shit no CONTROL options in game. * Go out of single player and setup some of the key's. * Go back to single player. Setup some key's again. Do this 10 more times. * Ok all keys are setup. Let’s jump into MP. * Once in MP you realize most buttons should be relocated because the first time configuration of the controls did not make sense at all (I was a Noob. So don't blame me). And even new functions you did not know about or did not know their importance are not added or configured correctly (Thanks to the helpfull MP people i found out about alot of new stuff). * So exit MP back to lobby. Exit MP back to Single Player. Go to controls. Change controls. Go back to MP and repeat it 20 more times till you are satisfied. - After doing this 100 of times after re-installing or corruptions and such i finally know it from memory. Until some dam key combinations have been edited or added. - Same for finding out the best video settings. My computer isn't a super-fast monster beast. So imagine how much i had to wait in between changing controls at the main menu and testing them out in game and going back and forth.

You know how this all could be fixed. Start by placing CONTROL OPTIONS option when pressing ESC in game. And to make it that you can change your controls on the fly. As a new starter a lot of years ago i could not understand why i could not change my key combinations in game. Any other game i could. But with FC and DCS now you have to jump from MP to the lobby and back to DCS world single player. In the beginning i was like these new players as well in regards to jump online straight away. But that was because i thought i could check and edit all the controls in game. Also in the MP lobby after joining the server only the planes you are able to fly should be clickable. Two simple solutions that can decrease a lot of frustration. * Make the controls accessible/editable in game when playing. * Make the modules/planes only available to select in the MP Lobby when the player is able to fly them.

Don’t worry.. I'm waiting forever for the logbook to work finally in Multiplayer. I only fly online so I’m not able to track anything. First i thought it was a bug that it didn't work in MP... But recently i heard it's a feature. They must have thought people playing online don't need log books.

I noticed the same. And sometimes your server crash (or any other) crashes/hangs my entire desktop. It's getting really annoying. Especially when the server is full of people. Hope you guy's can sort this out with ED and figure out why this is happening.

Sorry didn't know it was for successes. But thanks for the advice. I will try them out.

Yes.. Had it several times now with the new patch. Suddenly it just hangs.. But it try's to come back. You can hear the sound comming back and turning off again. And if i try to go to desktop it try's to do that as well. But it fails to load to desktop. You can hear my computer working very hard to try and get DCS back or get the desktop up. And i think if i would walk away and come back 30/40 minutes later it would actually work. But never waited for more then 15 minutes. *The server is not passworded or locked.

I can't hit with a AIM-120 for sh** against a normal player in MP over more than 15 miles. And even below 15 miles it’s really hard to hit a experienced player that knows what he is doing. Once (Before the latest patches) i even missed all of my Amraams firing them on a noob not even doing defensive maneuvers within 15 miles. And i had altitude and speed advantage. Even now i am making sure every time to come within 15 miles because i don’t want to waste missiles and be called a SPAMRAAM guy. I even switched over to AIM-7's and get more guaranteed kills with them within 15 miles. I don’t say there are no issue's with the Russian missiles. But the AIM-120 is not as good in DCS as some people suggest. Maybe I’m just a bad shot and tactician. Cause yesterday none of my missiles hit as well (some shots over 15 miles) and i got splashed every time after firing i don’t know how many AIM-120's. Maybe i was flying against experts. But even then, some had to hit (8 miles with altitude and speed advantage again). But none did. I was so frustrated i just had to leave. And thats really rare for me to do.. Cause i like a good challenge. Especially fighting those smart Russian pilots on the 51st. Even typing about it makes me want to fly now :)... But i am at work :(

First i had no CTD's at all with the previous versions. But now i alway's have them after some time playing on the 51st server. It just freezes my entire PC and i have to do a hard reboot. The PC still try's to close the game... But that would probably make me wait for 30/40 minutes for it to get back to the MP screen.

I dont understand why those people have such diffeculty's to think up good missions for nevada. They acting like the gravity is different there or something. It's only terrian!! You can make ultra realistic training missions on it like Red Flag and such. Or you can forget the terrain is Nevada and create every mission you can think of on that terrain. I dont even know the name of the terrain i'm flying on now... Black Sea or something??? Who cares... I can fly F15's/Su's/ Migs/ A-10c's/Choppers. I actually only care on how the terrian looks like and how big it is. And offcourse it would be nice to recreate certain Campaigns where real battles have taken place or are likely to take place. But they will come in time i guess.

Please post that video. Its probably a Mod you are using, because the L-39A is not even out yet. Almost all addons use another cockpit already available in DCS. You have probably seen some Work in Progress from a 3th party developer.

Time for a SSD anyway :) This HDD is 7 years old.

Shit it hink it's time for a new HDD. I got this failure. wuaueng.dll (1160) SUS20ClientDataStore: The database page read from the file "C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb" at offset 98304 (0x0000000000018000) (database page 2 (0x2)) for 32768 (0x00008000) bytes failed verification. Bit 55634 was corrupted and has been corrected. This problem is likely due to faulty hardware and may continue. Transient failures such as these can be a precursor to a catastrophic failure in the storage subsystem containing this file. Please contact your hardware vendor for further assistance diagnosing the problem.

Did CHKDSK /F. But no HDD corruptions at all. I tried re-install but it said DCS folder already exists not able to install. But that was the unknow file "DCS world" of 0 KB. After i deleted that file DCS world installed normally. It should work now. Going to test it. Also going to check event viewer to see how this could have happened.

I actually found the file where the DCS world folder needed to be. it say's its 0kb big. and was changed the last time i played. Any suggestions?

That was my first guess as well. But now when i try to re-install it say's that it can't because the folder is still there????? I'm seriously going mad. Never seen this before. Also when i search for the DCS folder It finds a unknow file on my G drive called DCS world. It is 0 bytes, can not be restored or opened and when i try to look for it manually i can not find it. Think i have to do a HDD check or something.

I don't know what the hell happened on my computer, but DCS World with the modules have totally disappeared, personal keyboard settings and all. Even the freaking torrent install files i downloaded. The only traces i got are the shortcuts in the START menu, programs and features and the steam shortcut. I have never ever seen this before. Even system restore can't find it. I'm totally baffled on how this could have happened. Unless somebody manually deleted everything. But thats only possible if you know where DCS stores all its temp files and such as well. I'm seriously lost. How can i check if something malicious has been going on? Or things have been manually deleted. Is there a program that can find and put back deleted files on your HDD. Please help.

This is what i noticed when i get shot down in BVR fights when flying F-15C against a organized group. First there is always 1 guy that shows on my radar but quickly disappears when i track him. This happens several times till i loose him completely. Most of the times i think that guy ran away (deadly mistake) so i start engaging 2 other incoming bandits. In most cases those bandits will brake of and run. But they don’t hide on purpose. So you keep following them. Then out of nothing a SU or MIG climbs to angles 20 towards my altitude and fires several ET's at me. It's the same stupid Russian fighter i stopped searching for in the beginning. So be aware for ambushes like this. Those guys are playing it smart. i seen this happen twice on a distance when i was shadowing a pair of F-15's cause i wanted to be sure how those guy's where ambushing me. I picked him up when he was climbing, but he was climbing to fast for me to get a proper lock even at 18 miles so i could not save them. And i was to late to warn the other pair cause it happened so fast. Those Russian pilots knew exactly what they were doing. So what did i learn from this. 1. Never stop searching for the lost Russian. Because you will get ambushed. If you cannot find him.. Run to a safe distance and try again. 2. Always try to fly with a Shadowing element that keeps an eye on you while engaging other targets. 3. It's super fun to fly against and with people that know what they are doing.
