is that supply count something i can modify myself? i didn't see that in the weapons.lua

unlimited ammo is for dropables only. Not gun ammo. It works for bombs, rockets, missiles, it MIGHT work on some planes for gunpods, haven't tried.

Any idea how to mod the savegames so i can get my campaign back to where it was before DCS nuked my saves and configurations?

Was there some automatic update to get us to , ah screw it this kind of crap always happens, i'll just go spend 3 hours redoing it all again.

Art-J: Hey I had to take a work induced break from DCS , I'll see if i can reproduce on another 'freebie' map. I remember the issue being present on Marianas, i want to say taking off from ramp in Saipan. I have a little time this weekend I'll try and redo it. A) -- YES B) i have not tried, i have a hotas and rudder pedals , nothing on the Axis assign page shows brakes , rudders , control surfaces etc. , doing anything other than what i am commanding. The first thing i checked was this page looking for differential toe braking or the usual "I just plugged in my controller, now DCS auto mapped throttle and roll to my rudder pedal" issues. How do you recommend i do this, just unplug all and go with keyboard/mouse only?

Yup i checked the toe brakes and bindings for the reverse , i check for them being mapped to something other than the pedals and everything looks right. The weird part is it is like ONE of the front wheels locks out and you just spin around on it, but it isn't locked , at least not by controls. I've never figured out a fix so all BF109 missions i just put them hot started. If i'm feeling sassy i can shut it down and start it up again myself and i'm ok.

i have not tried MP or in Campaign , this is single player usually placed in my own mission as client - ground start , meaning NOT at a ramp location. I made a couple videos i'll link when i get home. The start location for me is on the runway , i have another on the tarmac (same issue) but again NOT in an assigned 'parking spot'. **EDIT** - i retried with cold and hot from the ramp (parking assigned) and same result, cold start problem, hot start no problem. I did also note that the cold start, if i lock the tailwheel before i try to move , i don't move AT ALL. If i unlock then relock - the spin occurs. Obviously if i unlock the spin also occurs. Attached is the Track file for the cold start case from parking. twstuckbf109.trk

uh sure, it is ONLY an issue with cold start. I understand what you're saying in your post but i do not get the chance to circle around ,back up, or anything that involves my controls. I can lock the tail wheel, i can leave it unlocked, it simply will never get to alignment with the fuselage. It is almost like the front wheels are wheel chocked (they are not though). You can put in right rudder and full right toe break , ease on the throttle. The issue is the plane never goes straight enough nor does it straighten out in order to get the tail wheel to align. It simply is stuck. All actions lead to spinning to the left. About the only thing you can do is slow the rate at which you spin to the left by hitting both toe brakes. ANY movement and the tail wheel goes 90 degrees to the fuselage and you are stuck in the left spin , have to restart or put in a slot that is 'takeoff from runway' or hot start.

2024 still an issue

Is there a way to edit the cockpit lighting color? I want to try and match the UV lighting in the bf109 and P47. Nothing pops out at me in the skins so i assume there is something in bazar/shaders i can edit?

I heard his commanding officer was Admiral Dixon Butts

sometimes i come up fine with just turning ins align off, but otherwise i have to pull up the kneeboard and enter the gps values for my location. Then do GC Align. I think it is because i made a mission and have the full cold start option set. GrimReapers vid shows how to enter the GPS values if you look it up on youtube. Kind of a pain. Otherwise i get stuck in , i think , 'GC require pp' state.

***UPDATE*** i had to do the restore and update , but got same failure, the file turns out to be in flagged with the antivirus. same boat, for the last 6 or so major updates i get into a cycle of having to manually delete files for the installer in order to get it to actually run. The windows 10 permissions are dogsh** in general and i suspect they are the reason this keeps happening. This only started after i had to move my install folder from the default to a drive with more storage.The last time i did this i was so pissed off i reinstalled from scratch. I was lucky to get a couple minor updates in without an issue and now here i am again looking at reinstalling the entire thing i guess? 00013.092 STATUS: Downloading update... 00013.093 INFO : Using HTTP download. 00014.327 STATUS: Removing obsolete files... 00014.550 INFO : Removed 0 files. 00015.066 INFO : Kept 89380 files. 00015.067 STATUS: Installing new files... 00015.068 INFO : INSTALL Mods/tech/CombinedArms/bin/CombinedArms.dll 00015.068 ERROR: Can't move Z:\DCS World OpenBeta\_downloads\Mods/tech/CombinedArms/bin/CombinedArms.dll to Z:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods/tech/CombinedArms/bin/CombinedArms.dll: (2) The system cannot find the file specified. 00015.268 STATUS: Can't move Z:\DCS World OpenBeta\_downloads\Mods/tech/CombinedArms/bin/CombinedArms.dll to Z:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods/tech/CombinedArms/bin/CombinedArms.dll: (2) The system cannot find the file specified. 00030.747 === Log closed.

There are 100 other threads on whether or not the ground unit accuracy is realistic or if it matches the ability a human player (with combined arms) would have. I don't think i care. I'd like to have a mod or lua, some ability to detune them to what i think ground unit accuracy would be. I'm running DCS liberation and after a 120nm ingress to be sniped by a Nona through clouds at 5kft while it also engages my ground units is ridiculous. So everyone feel free to go argue about if that is realistic elsewhere, i don't care, just want to detune the AI units to my liking. Average/Good/High skill levels just aren't quite enough.

Hey guys , pretty much every single time there is an update see files installed or files that can't install because folders and files are locked down with NULL users , creator/owner (ie not my user , not admin). I end up unable to delete the files , unable to change permissions to fix the issue as administrator or my user. I am about to wipe the game and start over. My install folder is on a secondary drive , not default program files. No issues prior to update. This happens often with DCS updates. This is NOT the same issue as the one previously stated where the user cannot delete files. This is similar but not the same.
