Cdr84

Thanks, Just be a waitin' on the new card then... :music_whistling:

My GeForce GTX580 died. While I had things apart troubleshooting I finally put in an additional HDD I got a while ago and threw in an old Nvida 8800GT just so my computer would work while I wait for my new GTX970 to arrive. I am in the process of moving things to the new drive, but checking to see things are working before moving. Neither of my DCS (1.5.x and 2.0.x) will start now. I get the start DCS screen then it crashes before it starts all the way up. Is this because the 8800GT won't run DCS? It is a DX11 compatible card and shows DX11 in the DXDIAG window. I'll attach the log. ? dcs.log.txt

Having this problem too since last update. Windows says it's effects.dll, I think it was, that is causing it. Has happened to me 2 times when dropping CBU-97 tonight so far. Did not have this problem before the last update. Edit, Here; Edit again; Tried another MP server, crashes anytime you watch the CBU's explode targets on the TGP. DCS Crash Logs.zip

Thanks

Couple questions; Would a 1Tb USB drive or other plug and play hardware removal/reinstall give problems? If I change hardware out for testing purposes but don't start dcs up and return to same hardware state then start dcs will this cause the issue? Problem for me if it will.

Is anything ever going to get done with this? I have to fiddle around getting the kneeboard keys to stay in MP servers for about 20 min several times a day. It is becoming irritating to the point where I just play something else. I started this under the SU-25T here; http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=153500 It is common to all FC3 aircraft and in 2.0 as well. There are several posts around the forums about it and no response from dev's that I can find.

More on this..., It will still do it even with the files read only. I have been using a prog called WinMend file copy to quickly reload all the FC3 a/c's Config\Input backups I have made in one quick shot when they get messed up. This is with DCS 1.5 shut down! ----> Sometimes it is not able to copy the effected control .lua saying something opened them while it was trying to overwrite/copy? Then if I retry it overwrites/copies. Weird!?!

Yea, know that. They are kinda necessary to use at times tho. Would be nice to have something less intrusive. I don't leave that stuff on, but when I change something it ain't like I get an "aye aye sir" so I gotta check. Looking down at switches is a no go under fire as well.

Is there any way to manually edit size and positions of the yellow weapon status txt and gunner status box? They are way bigger than necessary for me. Same for Mi -8

Maybe found a temp work-around for this prob. I started the game again today and the S-25T kneeboard keys were messed up again. I even fixed, saved, joined a MP server and had it happen again immediately. I then exited MP, fixed the keys again then went into user\saved games\DCSxxx\config..., just look at the pix. Changed the effected file to read only; There, take that dang it. Seems to work so far. Remember you gotta switch it back to change anything on that controller.

Yea, still fighting with this. Hadn't played in a few days, fired things up, jumped on 104's server and all my FC3 a/c kneeboards are messed up again. Sometimes have to remap and screw around several times before it will stick. Then have it act up again later. This need fix soon. Have something to do with all those kneeboard short cut controls that only FC3 a/c have maybe?

Think I nailed it down now. For the third time now I deleted out the Su-25 and Su25T folders from my Users\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Config\Input. Then manually remapped all my controls for both Su-25's. All is working again, but something must be bugged with the save profile as/load profile feature in the controls section of the sim. If I save the .lua for the controller that has the controls of the kneeboard and then load it back in again the problem comes back. I use this feature quite a bit especially when setting up a new plane to see how it works best for me. I hope they get this fixed. Resorted to taking pictures with my tablet so I could use that to quickly remap. Never happened so far tho on anything but the Toad and Frogfoot's kneeboard controls. 2.0 Alpha seems to be doing same thing, but haven't worked with that much yet.

Was a bug from the eshop or something. Fixed now.

Nothing? I tried to use kneeboard today on a server. Only key that will work is the one that turns it on and off even though they are all mapped correctly.

I'm having same issue see post here; http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=155045

I bought the Mig-15, got it up and running in 1.2 ok, but is is not showing up in the module manager in 1.5 or 2.0. I have logged in out, done a cmd prompt repair and tried a cmd prompt install no go. Any ideas? I tried direct install with the auto updater as such with command prompt; In the Command Prompt Windows: Type: DCS_Updater.exe install MiG-15bis Got this; --- Log file: E:\DCS World OpenBeta\autoupdate_log.txt === Log opened UTC 2015-12-09 19:04:18 INFO : DCS_Updater/2.6.9.43 (Windows NT 6.1.7601; Win64; en-US) INFO : cmdline: "E:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe" --apply install MiG-15bis STATUS: Initializing...

Why isn't this stuff just licensed to the user instead of the hardware? After all I bought it not my computer. This DRM makes just as much sense as going out to your garage and not being able to start your car because you replaced the garage door opener. And then... Allow GM/Chevrolet (Mr. Leatherneck), XYZ car dealer (Mr. ED), and the DMV (Mr. Starforce) come over to my garage and look things over. Take notes and inventory what is in there so they know if I change anything else like..., maybe buy a new lawnmower. Then I can use my car I have owned a while again. All that to make sure I ain't making any bootleg Chevy's. Wouldn't it be easier to just make sure I am me and leave it go at that?

No doubt they will get it sorted. Want this thing, but too many issues right now.

Glad I read this post, was planning to buy this aircraft. I won't until this is fixed. Shouldn't be burning any activations at all since it is still beta really. Customers are helping you test and you are irritating them? Not a solid business plan. In general this method of DRM is costing all involved with DCS money and hurting the popularity of the sim. I have bought 7 modules in the last couple months. Think l'll hold off on purchasing any more for fear of this issue showing up elsewhere as I now have to run 3 dang versions of DCS World to get on the mp servers I like.

The way we have to save and manage control profiles between three different installs is becoming a friggin' nightmare. Can't we get a decent control profile manager that can save to/upload/download by aircraft/game version with just a couple of clicks instead of the mess we have to go through now? Would be so nice to just go in there and select your aircraft, hit load, and have only 1 file to select and edit instead of a separate one for each controller I am using. Also give me the ability to label controllers in there. With my CH stuff it is control manager device whatever which don't correspond to anything so I have to sort that out all the time and they aren't the same between game versions. Right now I am only using 7 aircraft, but that makes 84 different .lua files to manage across those 3 installs, that's just ridiculous. There also needs to be some way to see what is compatible between versions and have it fix those so they are- if you understand. Example: Manual mapping controls for the A-10c three times because of there being 3 versions is just stupid, something should be made to do that for us. Should have only to do it once, push a button and it does all three and gives a note if there are any problems and what to fix. Just has to be a better way.

In DCS World 1.5 I have a problem with the Su-25T clearing the kneeboard keys I have set for my CH throttle quad. It clears the ones I have mapped for page up, page down, and marking current position when I enter a multiplayer server. I also have other keys mapped for the quad such as chaf, ecm, gear, etc that are unaffected. I am not certain, but I think the Su-25A may be doing the same thing. The one for turning it on and off is not effected and the keyboard keys work.

Is there anyway we can get the nice clean windows like the Chinese cockpit version in Devrim's version? I am using Devrim's mod from here now; http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/777143/ It isn't really all that clean, just different and has some blue/green stuff splattered at the bottom in the middle. Guess after looking at it some more, the chinese one is quite similar to the one from the mod.

I hit the cancel button just now and it downloaded and updated in just a couple minutes. So fast I didn't even get time to upload the image. Just do that :thumbup: Cdr

This just ain't gonna work: Six hours running total, been at the last little bit for couple hours now. How is this going to seed... when you get the last you exit right away? The last little bit will always take forever with this method.

I switched the option to English and most buttons changed, but still have Russian language Abris and Ekran spoken voice? Any ideas? I manually edited to get right, but hope we don't have to go down that road all the time.
