Thanks. I just sent him a message. :thumbup:

Yeah, we tried that but I just tried it again using TeamViewer and shut off the firewall and disabled the realtime protection in ESET NOD32 AV and same problem. Very frustrating. Also ran SFC (system file checker) on his Win10 64 Pro and no problems found...

added ifo We tried repair numerous times, updated the install to the latest version a couple of days ago, and played around with the AV software settings and finally uninstalled the AV and still no go. Support says its is something on the pc blocking the protection send/receive and to try to figure out what is doing it. He did replace his processor and upgraded his memory and we had to do the registry fixes for all of his other modules but they work fine. I wonder if the signature of the protection on the Harrier changed because of the upgraded hardware?? I don't know the details of how the new protection works on this module so I am trying to offer any info I can to get this sorted out. Thanks edit: We installed it with the module manager originally and it failed and caused the sim not to open and that is how we isolated it to be that module. But since then, if we remove the AV-8B folder from the aircrafts folder and run a repair, it installs the missing AV-8B module automatically and then the sim won't open so we remove it to at least be able to fly something else.

Trying to help my step dad get his AV-8B working but after about 3 weeks (or more) of trying, I was going to contact Razbam but cannot find any contact links on their website. We don't do Facebook either. We contacted support here but are at a loss as we tried everything. The sim runs great with all aircraft unless he adds the purchased AV-8B with the new copy protection. Then the sim won't even load all the way or open. We can only get the sim to run if we remove the AV-8B folder from the aircraft's folder. Then everything works as normal. We did the repair numerous times, are running the latest version, have disabled and even uninstalled the AV from the pc. Nothing works so far. Anybody else have this issue and was able to figure it out? Thanks

Well, I got into his router and tried to open a few more ports that I read about but that didn't fix it...

Well today it is working. :doh: Yesterday me and 2 other guys updated our pc's to the latest DCS version and we had some issues and the F2 worked but you could not pan and zoom with the mouse. Now it's working. Maybe a pc reboot fixed it. Yesterday we were all playing on a server I hosted. Today I tried it with the same mission but by myself, and it is working.

We even uninstalled the AV and it doesn't fix it. And MB has not complained and Hitman Pro is a scanner at start up or when we click it and it has no real time monitoring. Any other ideas? He is running it from another ssd drive (H) and not the C drive but that shouldn't matter. I found this so he isn't the only one. At least that gives us hope. :) :joystick: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=209329

Since the update today the F2 view using the mouse to zoom and pan the view does not work.

Are there any specific ports needed to be opened for the new software protection used on the AV-8B? I mean ports other than the ones that allow the game to work perfectly with all the other full fidelity modules using the old protection. Thanks

I am trying to help my step-dad in-law. We have a support ticket open. He is having trouble getting the AV-8B activated. Support says some security program is blocking the AV8B protected files and we need to figure out what is blocking them. Anyone else run into this problem and found the fix? He uses the same AV (ESET NOD32) and Malwarebytes and Hitman Pro as I do and my AV-8B works fine and I did nothing special. We both have Win10 pro and I just spent another 45 minutes using TeamViewer and tried everything I could think of and the game/sim will only run if I remove the AV-8b Harrier folder from the Mods/Aircraft folder. Then everything works fine and all his other purchased jets work fine too. But the game will not even open if the AV-8B is installed. Thanks

AV-8B activation doesn't work Moved

Thanks for the added info. :thumbup:

In my case I was able to just select Georgia from the drop down list and it only affected the SU-25T's as the other bad guys were not Russian. But I have the mod for future reference and I am sure I will be needing it in the future. :)

That is even easier. Thanks for the info. If I did change the coalitions I likely did not move Georgia. I may have added a few more bad guys to the red side though. :) Thanks

Thanks. I will download that and put it in my tool box. :thumbup:

Thanks ignition, I will try this out and see how it goes. For now I just added large smoke markers as visual guides to the targets.

I have a mission I am working/learning on and have added a couple of SU-25t's to take out the Sams but they don't attack the targets. So I was following them to watch and they just fly by and turn around and follow their waypoints back to the base and land. Then I though maybe because they are red and I am on the blue team, that maybe they won't attack the red targets so I flew in front of them, and they shot me down. :lol: So my question is, how can I change the Russian SU-25t jets to a blue team jet without starting to make the mission from scratch? Thanks

I watched a grim reaper video where 2 guys were flying SU-25t's and testing all the weapons. At one point one of the guys said he was going to mark a target for the other guy to hit and a plume of blue smoke appeared. How is that done? Thanks.

I have added a few SEAD (SU-25) in my mission to help take out the Sam sites around our target. They take off and fly over the target on the way points I set but I don't think they are even trying to release any ordnance on the Sams. Do I need to set up a trigger? Any help on making the SEADS do their job? Thanks edit: I found some videos on youtube so I think I am on my way to at least understanding how to arm the SU-25 properly but still need to know if that is all it takes to use as AI to help the team on a mission.

Thanks. I will get the info to him and we will check it out tomorrow. :) He got the processor upgrade installed today and that already made a world of difference. Was a I7-920 changed to a I7-980.

Ok thanks, I appreciate it. :)

Well I don't have my HOTAS set up yet (Saitek X52 Pro) so I was trying to figure out the key mapped for that. But today I finally get some time to go in there and look through the key commands list and figure it out. I noticed you have a GTX980TI and my step dad in-law has a GTX980 but has been having lots of problems and having to run low quality graphics settings. I am getting him to upgrade his processor (X58 socket 1366 core I7 920 2.66gHz) to an I7 980 3.33 gHz. He has triple channel ram and only 12 gb so I will have him go to the max of 24gb, and if necessary (I think it is) to upgrade to at least a GTX1070 or better. What quality are you getting with a gtx980TI?

Thanks for the added tip. I was reading the manual and was most interested in the DG modes as I hadn't fully studied the radar yet so I didn't even have the DG mode mapped to my HOTAS. I was curious as to what keyboard key was already bound. It just takes time to get all this sorted, that's all. :joystick:

Thanks. That should help. :thumbup:

Well maybe that is the problem... We will test some more today with our group of 3 and see if we can sort this out. Yesterday we had bombs work on the first drop but not on the second but who knows if we switched to dogfight mode in between. We will pay attention now. But I do know that when the bombs won't drop if we quit and grab another jet they work. :thumbup: We are flying in multiplayer mode hosted on my pc when we are doing this.
