I only did it to see if it would "trick" DCS into thinking the file existed! It seems a bit touch and go though...didn't appear to light up on the Syria map. Maybe I had the time set wrong.

And they actually light up now, which I've not seen happen before. Makes a great change to airfields at night!!

So I loaded up a mission in 2.7 with some of the VPC equipment in it and was getting a DX11Renderer Error as follows: Shader "model/fake_omni_lights.fx" failed to compile - HRESULT: ERROR_PATH_NOT_FOUND. Seemed to be for lighting tower/fire house etc. So I did some digging into bazar/shaders/model and sure enough there is no longer a file called "fake_omni_lights.fx"...however there is a file called "fake_omni_lights2.fx". I made a copy (DO NOT DELETE fake_omni_lights2...other things need it) and dropped the 2 and hey presto, it all works again and no longer puts up an error. Quickly made a OvGME for it so I don't have to copy and edit every patch update. Hope this help out someone if they run into the same error.

Hey! Great set of missions! Just wondering if it's intentional in Mission 4 (AAR and BFM Training) and Mission 5 (ACM Training) that weapons don't work? Mission 4 says guns only but it seems enemy has guns + my AI wingman has guns and I have nothing (or pulling the trigger does nothing). I get into a kill slot behind Bandit, shoot cue and just follow around until Bingo. Most of the time the AI wingman is useless and then it becomes a 2 v 1 and I end up defensive until I run out of fuel (and I did refuel before the BFM). Is that how the missions are supposed to work?

I seemed to have fixed it by creating a new windows user and running DCS from that account. I have no idea why that works, but if a quick user switch fixes it I'm happy.

I've started getting a crash on start up. I've looked at the Logs but they make no sense to me so, don't know what is causing it. I played, then closed the game, and when I came back for another session a couple of hours later it crashed on start and hasn't run since. So far I have: - Steam Verified the integrity of the game files. - Updated NVidia Drivers (v456.71). - Uninstalled and re-installed DCS (including trying a different location). - Run sfc /scannow (nothing came up) - Renamed/moved the DCS saved game directory. - Tried just the base game with no DLC in stable and open beta My PC specs: Win10, Ryzen 3950x, 64GB RAM, EVGA NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2080Ti Ultra Logs.zip
