First of thank you for taking the time to help. I've done all that you mentioned. Check disk, windows updates, disable the anti virus and firewall. I have tried to install in the programs 86 as I think that is how the DCS A-10 was when it was first in beta. Perhaps it is the CC cleaner?? I've always thought it a good program, but have heard others say it can result in problems. Oh and as far as the crash, it never gets anywhere. That is I have tried the training, instant action and I get the full screen in the beginning where i have those choices. But about 10 seconds into when I expect things are going ok- that is when I get a message that says DCS beta has stopped working. It is a message from Windows I believe. Maybe even with my windows updates, something is wrong. Yet I can continue to use A-10 and the the Black Shark; FSX. At this point, perhaps it is best for me to wait until the next beta release comes out and start again. If after all of this it still continues to be a problem, well then I guess I am out of luck. My sad story is, I would give up all my jets as I have always been a prop man whether it was FSX or Over Flanders Fields; Combat Flight Sims of all, I drool over the fact I can't get the P-51 in the air. Maybe there will be other ideas out there.

I have a wireless keyboard and mouse so can't undo that. I can and will try unplugging the X52, Something in the report i submitted show that the X52 is the culprit? Thanks

Here is the DX Diag report attached. Thank you DxDiag.txt

Panzertab or others: Thank you. Here is my log from the last time I tried to run the sim (beta 2 or newest update version). ANd also attached is my crash log, which I can't open or read. I will send the DX Diag in another message. 00000.000 INFO VFS: Using 'Saved Games': "C:\Users\Ras\Saved Games" 00000.001 INFO LAUNCHER: Launch command: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\dcs.exe --noreplay --trackfile "C:\Users\Ras\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\LastMissionTrack.trk" "C:\Users\Ras\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\tempMission.miz" 00013.688 UNKNOWN main: locale: en EN 00013.688 ERROR EDCORE: can't open MO-file C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\l10n\en\LC_MESSAGES\inputEvents.mo 00013.745 UNKNOWN main: me_db_api creation started 00013.997 UNKNOWN main: MOD loading: ./mods/aircrafts/A-10C/entry.lua 00013.997 ERROR EDCORE: can't open MO-file C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\mods\aircrafts\A-10C\l10n\en\LC_MESSAGES\messages.mo 00013.998 UNKNOWN main: MOD loading: ./mods/aircrafts/Ka-50/entry.lua 00013.998 ERROR EDCORE: can't open MO-file C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\mods\aircrafts\Ka-50\l10n\en\LC_MESSAGES\messages.mo 00013.998 UNKNOWN main: MOD loading: ./mods/aircrafts/P-51D/entry.lua 00013.999 UNKNOWN main: MOD loading: ./mods/aircrafts/Su-25T/entry.lua 00013.999 UNKNOWN main: PLUGINS START------------------------------------------------- 00013.999 UNKNOWN main: plugin: A-10C Warthog by Eagle Dynamics applied 00013.999 UNKNOWN main: plugin: Ka-50 Black Shark by Eagle Dynamics applied 00013.999 UNKNOWN main: plugin: P-51D Mustang by Eagle Dynamics applied 00013.999 UNKNOWN main: plugin: Su-25T by Eagle Dynamics applied 00013.999 UNKNOWN main: PLUGINS DONE-------------------------------------------------- 00014.013 UNKNOWN main: ./MissionEditor/data/scripts/unitsclasses.lua loaded 00014.016 UNKNOWN main: ./MissionEditor/data/NewMap/classifier.lua loaded 00014.064 UNKNOWN main: me_db_api creation complete 00014.097 UNKNOWN main: options data successfully loaded 00014.097 UNKNOWN main: P-51D: options data successfully loaded 00014.876 ERROR DXGUI_EDGE_RENDER: Cannot load texture '' 00015.047 INFO SOUND: XAudio2: Using device ID:'{0.0.0.00000000}.{a64e6bde-22a1-49c2-880e-e8a3180a2999}' Name:'Speakers (Realtek High Definition Audio)', channels: 2 00015.047 INFO SOUND: XAudio2: channel layout: Headphones/Stereo 00015.067 INFO SOUND: Using SSE FTZ mode. 00016.483 UNKNOWN main: Error: Unknown parameter modal 00025.570 WARNING LOG: 14 duplicate message(s) skipped. 00025.570 UNKNOWN main: widgetPictureB:setTheme(theme) C:\Users\Ras\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\Mission/Take-Off-Batumi-EN{315A3577-55AF-49fd-A6B9-D8533014EDD4}.png 00025.605 UNKNOWN main: Mission C:\Users\Ras\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS\tempMission.miz loaded 00025.827 UNKNOWN main: GUI Error: [string ".\MissionEditor\modules\me_debriefing.lua"]:797: bad argument #1 to 'ipairs' (table expected, got nil) GUI debug.traceback: stack traceback: [C]: ?

Just saw this today. Thanks so much

AM I the only one in the universe that can't get this working? I've installed the newest beta version, and feel like I have followed the instructions to the letter. One thing that confuses me though. I have Windows 7 home version and it says that you cannot disable user accounts. Only delete them. I've tried installing and running program with the guest account; as administrator, not as the administrator. I have disabled Norton anti virus and firewall. I am now going on 30 hours of trying to get this up and running. I have compared all my settings to the DCS A-10 which I can fly without any problem. I had purchased the A-10 version from the very first days it was available in the beta version and followed and installed it every step of the way. SO, WHY is this program DIFFERENT than your A-10 version?

Now going on 22+ hours!

After many, many tries, then I was hopefull with the new version/patch that was released recently. I downlaoded this one, which took about 16 hours and still a no go. If anyone lives within 100 miles of Fargo North, Dakota and wants a huge steak dinner, all you can eat and a place to stay for the night- plus a lot of good flying simulation comraderie- and you get this SOB running- I will appreciate it and fill your belly. Otherwise, i will be deleting this and as i said earlier go back to the A-10 and FSX with the P-51. What a DAMN shame. Sorry., but after 20+ hours what else can I say? And if i hear one more time about my computer and system check, then I hope the computer explodes i am outta here forever

I sympathise with you. I have had problems and will not and cannot elaborate again on those issues. I've yet to get the P-51 in the air, yet I can (without one bit of a problem) do EVERY ONE of DCS products. ANd yet I have been told it is my computer. NOT! All i can hope for is the 16+ hours it seems to take to at this rate to download the latest version; that I will be in the skies. yet, I would put a good amount of $ on the fact it ain't gonna happen. Glad it worked for you. The Devil is after me!

Thanks from here also. Been at it 6 hours and still 14 hours to go. There has to be another way! Cable internet. Not the fastest but still nothing to complain about normally

All of a sudden I went from an estimated 5 hours and something to about 22 hours!! Never got the first version to run (reference Devil Got me post) so hoping this might do the trick. If not, I'll be flying the A-10 again and wait for the completed version. That is if I don't have to shut down because of possible sever thunderstorms..

THis could have been my dream come true, but it isn't going to happen. Thanks for your help, So long everyone, its back to the A-10 for me. 36 hours of pure hell for me. Is there any chance of a refund who has bought Lock On, the sequel, the DCS Black Shark and DCS A-10? A few days worth of wages?

Yes, I am. Just getting started after a night of sleep. Will see what goes today. Thank you

I've done everythinn that has been suggested. Everything. I have downloaded once again, have all the files. Did a CC cleaner a couple of times. Changed the settings in case in needed to run as an administrator; did the user control setting- I can't think of another thing that I missed. After 7 hours, and installed 3 times, I still get to the point where I can't get it running. I get the music, the scree,. the bar goes to 100%. I have went into the training area- instant action and etc. I'll see if a night sleep and any other ideas help. Otherwise, seriously, life is too short to be frustrated to this level. I always have WOP with the P-51 and the FSX (OH I can't hardly stand it anymore) to fly the P-51 and will see if I can get a refund. How I love the props even more than jets but as i mentioned, at my age (60+) with thousands of hours in flight sims, I ain't got that much time left. Thanks to all

Yes I have Norton. I disabled the anti virus but not the firewall during the download. All 5 files showed they were there. Nate, its gone! I am downloading again and on a fairly decent internet cable and it is still taking me an eta of 13 hours. So, could have used a little more help as computer is functioning with absolutely every program I have without problems. Including the A-10. Thank you Bodo for your patient understanding and assistance

Need some help. I downloaded yesterday and installed and could not run the sim. I have had the A-10 since the very beginning without any problems. When first trying training and any part of P-51, I have an error that said DCS Beta version not running. Window 7 checking and etc. So I uninstalled everything (I had checked and all files were there) and when I when to re-install the application (the DCS world large file or whatever it is called) and double clicked on it, it was deleted!!! Not in my recycle bin. Its GONE. Now what? I have to go and spend 13 hours downloading this again, and if it downloads then where am I at. HAving had no problems with DCS A-10 or the DCS Blackshark, I am really sweating that I am out $40.00. Any help would be appreciated

Great movies , all of them

Thanks for putting this one together. I am looking forward to it

Looks good, will give it a try soon. Like Shootist said, "keep em coming"

Thank you, sir. I understand

Sorry, I should have posted this under mission pack. I hate to put it in there and explain it all over but this is for your missions, not the training. I just don't have any wingmen. PS. I flew with the ATO (the group of STP) this afternoon (North America time) and am very thankful for your help and patience for one who never flew on line before. "Fishman"

I've done all of that. Did the Lan set up as suggested, I've even tried flying in different positions as far as Hawg 1, or 2 or 3 and etc. I think i will reload the whole works and try again tomorrow. THanks

I am having trouble with the MP missions where one is flying off line, I am following the directions to the exact "T' but i am always on the ramp by myself. I've tried 4 times on 3 different missions and I don't know what I could be doing wrong. All i can say is I do not appear to miss any of the steps. Any help or ideas? I downloaded the missions and put in the folder properly so is it possible that because I did not use modman or whatever it is called. I have flown many user missions in the single player.

Giving up the FSX is the easiest to do. I never had a sense of being in the cockpit with any FSX plane as I do with the A-10C. And COD (Cliffs of Dover) has a long way to go and may never approach the satisfaction of this sim. Lots of interesting comments. Thanks
