I started a new Crash post. Crash and Log files attached, @silverdevil Crashed again today, no rain or fog.

Updated original post, added LOG file

Crashing about every 30 -45 min. 4YA has rain, fog, heavy/low clouds on. log is attached dcs.20230820-004516_.crash dcs.log

Yes, have both of those done for a long time. WRONG, I had a MIN Page File of 17k, not the 32k. I"ll see if 32k MIN helps.

I'm also getting crashes on 4YA MPT, about every 30 min. Note they have the rain on and heavy, low cloud cover and fog. Log is attached dcs.20230820-004516_.crash

I'm getting crash to desktop about once every 3 hours in MP. Opening my log I see a lot "invalid damage model" for all kinds of planes i own, and don't own, plus sound ERRORs like: 2023-08-16 02:23:10.333 ERROR APP (Main): Error: Unit [F-15C]: Corrupt damage model. 2023-08-16 02:23:18.008 ERROR ED_SOUND (Main): invalid source_params(woLA-17410095:aircrafts/engines/rearclosehighpower): gain

I downloaded the free B-1B mod. Does anyone have instructions or control bindings? Is there any way to sweep the wings, or open the bomb bay doors? The D key does not select different bombs, and I can't control salvo qty, etc. The gauges don't agree with the HUD (metric of course based on Su25T). Wish I could figure out how to fix this. I tried to overwrite the SHAPE directory with Su-25T files, but this didn't work (as it says in the readme.txt ?).

I had a similar issue from my Saved Games folder. Deleted all mods/folders. Did repair - note the dash in the repair instructions is needed! Then I had a counter measures IC fail (I had ICE mod installed before deleting). I deleted, then reinstalled the aircraft, twice, then the problem was fixed.

I just use mild aft stick at 150kts, it will take off when ready. Let the pitch come up to 10 degrees and then neutral stick.

Just use a curve with "+" setting/number and it will get much faster around center.

Check your rudder exponential curve. If it's set to 20 or more, then you have little rudder authority at less than about 40% pedal throw. As others stated, turn of NWS on takeoff at 70-90ish ktx, reverse for landing w/crosswind.

I kept getting IC failures on GS MP server with the CMDS_ALE47.lua file for the F16 and the 3 counter measure lua files for F18. The first thing I do in MP is adjust the chaff and flares programs. I had DICE installed before, but removed it when this started happening. ALL other mods were also removed. I did forced DCS clean and forced repair 3 times, problem was still occurring. I deleted both planes, and reinstalled both planes - still happening. After carefully looking at the files/dates, DCS was overwriting the files - even when I did NOT adjust the chaff/flare settings (i.e. I was flying F16 only, then next time I try to get on server it says F18 file does not pass IC). File size for the F16 lua was going from 4kb to 1kb with the date/time of when DCS was running. I thought removing all folder permissions in Windows would stop this, but they are still being changed by DCS. The new IC check fails, even when I restart DCS and try to get on GS MP with the "green" IC check symbol showing I'm OK.

@BIGNEWY FYI DCS repair is not fixing my F16 and F18 countermeasure files ALQ, RWR, CMDS. (after I un-installed DICE, since DICE is not passing IC on GS MP server). I tried the repair 3 times and still won't pass IC. Seems like counter measure files should NOT be IC checked, as no performance can be gained by tweaking them (?). Thx

Thanks Hobel. Yes, I do that now. Too bad it won't fix itself, even w/the repair...

IC Not Passed on my F16 and F18 countermeasure files ALQ, RWR, CMDS. I HAD DICE installed, got these errors, so I uninstalled/deleted DICE, still got the errors. Then did a full game update/verification scan. Still got the IC check errors. Then I uninstalled AND DELETED my F16 and F18 installs in the main Beta game directory. I reinstalled, basically brand new, the F16 and F18. Still getting IC Not Passed in MP screen.

-So not too long ago I started seeing yellow solid brick on the radar display MFD in TWS mode in MP. I don't see this documented or in the many online videos I looked at. What are they? (they don't show a green circle w/IFF so I assume they are non-responsive/enemy). -Also, when I TMS right twice, after tracks become solid, I am not getting any lock symbology. Yes, radar elevation is correct, yes aspect is hot. This happens as close as 15nm, while they are hot... It used to work as expected. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thx

Thank you very much for the F4, it's great! FYI, it's not compatible with the FC3 Clickable Cockpit mod. I had this FC3 mod installed, but when entering the F4 you get the SU27 cockpit and you're in the back seat of the F4.

Problem Solved: Windows 10 problem(?) I ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth then ran sfc /scannow (again). And now DCS appears to work fine, sorry for the inconvenience to DCS staff. I then reloaded my Saved Games DCSOpenBeta folder, and it still works as expected.

Thank you for the support. Possilbe hint, I had recent problems with another s/w with VC++ runtimes. I uninstalled all VC++ and reinstalled from the MS website. However, EVERY other s/w on my systems runs fine (Adobe Suite, Counterstrike, Office Suite, MS apps, etc.). I had time to download a fresh install of DCS, and removed my old Saved Games folder so new one was created. Now when I start DCS it checks for updates, I log in, and it hangs at the DCS logo. Ctl-Alt-Del and it shows as "Loading" with CPU usuage is about 20% but nothing happens for 10 minutes. Orignal crashing DCS.log is attached, plus new Saved Games folder DCS log is attached. The Event Viewer shows all kinds of things, I had no idea. S/W and System pages are also attached. I already did run SFC scannow before reinstall of DCS. I do have some Services turned Off to help speed up my desktop PC. dcs crashing.log dcs fresh install.log

Since the 2.8 update, my DCS crashes about every 2 hours on heavy MP (GS). I have the latest drivers for everything, ran SFC for Win10, removed DICE mod (my only mod) and manually forced full DCS repair. Problem still happens. When DCS crashes it just exists the program. Sometimes it freezes for a couple seconds before exiting. It restarts just fine. Is there a crash or dump file I can retrive to post here? On 2.7 I would get a crash about every 3 months. I cap my FPS at 60fps, so CPU and GPU stay about 50C.

This week the RWR was updated on the F16: LOVE - the "T" option to expand the overlapping targets - the Low tone for surface radars and the higher tone for AA radars - the surface only option to look for ground radars (i.e. with HARMS) HATE - only 1 warning for AA radars, every 15 seconds. This forces me to focus almost continuos attention the RWR. on dense MP servers I get other high tone beeps all the time, very confusing without too much attention on the RWR.

Besides the Crank, you can also go lower in altitude to slow the oncoming missle's speed and range.

In the F-16 in TWS, often times I press TMS Down and the FCR changes to RWS. I checked my key bindings and I don't see any conflicts (VKB Gladiator Pro stick). Is it just me???

I call this one LAWN DART. From GS MP server after i got a minor bruise, and then fuel "disappeared": F16 no wings ACME_Widgets.mp4
