F-14 Update/Reinstall Fix: "Can't move F14-HeatblurCommon.dll" Error (Solved) If you're getting this error while updating or reinstalling the F-14 module: swift CopyEdit Can't move C:\DCS World\_downloads\Mods/aircraft/F14/bin/F14-HeatblurCommon.dll to C:\DCS World\Mods/aircraft/F14/bin/F14-HeatblurCommon.dll: (2) The system cannot find the file specified. ...here’s the fix that worked for me after hours of frustration: What’s Happening? DCS Updater expects the file F14-HeatblurCommon.dll to exist in the _downloads folder. If it’s missing or 0 bytes, it can’t move it into the main Mods folder. But if it is 0 bytes, DCS also flags it as a “useless leftover” and tries to delete it — which causes the update to fail in a loop. Step-by-Step Fix Go to the folder: makefile CopyEdit C:\DCS World\_downloads\Mods\aircraft\F14\bin\ If F14-HeatblurCommon.dll is missing or 0 bytes: Create a new dummy file using Notepad: Open Notepad Type: Fake DLL content Save as: F14-HeatblurCommon.dll (make sure it's not .txt) Place it in the folder above If DCS still sees the file as disposable: Ignore the warning window and click "Exit", NOT "Delete" Run a repair: Open Command Prompt as Administrator Run: CopyEdit DCS_updater.exe repair After that, retry the reinstall of the F-14 module. It should detect the dummy .dll, overwrite it with the real file, and install successfully. Optional Cleanup Once the F-14 installs correctly: You can delete the dummy .dll file if it wasn't overwritten Remove any leftover folders like: makefile CopyEdit C:\DCS World\_downloads\Mods\aircraft\F14\bin\Mods\ Final Note If this still doesn't work: Delete the entire _downloads\Mods\aircraft\F14 folder Run DCS_updater.exe repair again Then reinstall the F-14 from Module Manager Hope this helps someone avoid the same loop I went through.

For the last week or so, the authorization for my F14 is failing. I have tried many times now to get around this problem, ive uninstalled, reinstalled deleted files etc, repaired build but it will not authorise

"Auto" and "Off" did not work for me. But "Manual" did. Server side settings in the Mi-24P.

thanks for the heads up

Hello everyone, I've recently encountered an issue on my DCS server that I can't seem to resolve. Over the Christmas break, I've noticed the following error appearing intermittently in the logs: 2024-12-28 09:13:20.718 ERROR ASYNCNET (Main): Server update failed with code 401. The server will be unlisted. My setup is as follows: Connection: Fibre to the home with a static IP address Router Uptime: 108 days without any connectivity loss Despite the stable setup, this error continues to occur. Has anyone else experienced this issue or have any suggestions on how to address it? Thank you in advance for your insights.

Hi everyone, Since the latest DCS update, I’ve been experiencing an issue with Petrovich AI in the Mi-24P. He acknowledges that he’s “searching for targets,” but he doesn’t list anything—even when the targets are clearly visible and in plain sight. Here’s what I’ve tried so far to troubleshoot the issue: Ensured the targets are within Petrovich’s field of view and in range. Verified that keybindings for Petrovich AI commands are correct. Confirmed the weapon systems are armed and properly configured. I’m wondering if this is a known issue introduced in the latest patch or if there’s a configuration I may have overlooked. Has anyone else encountered this issue? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance, BoomBoom

We’ve put in the work to ensure that your missions run smoothly, and we’d love for you to check it out!

"Black Kytes" Servers focus on Tank battles. Check it out!

So I finally worked out that if the map zoom icon is depressed and an area selected. The zoom will start to work. As opposed to working immediately like it used to. Once again its only in multiplayer and with higher screen resolutions.

Selecting driver role in the new M1A2SEP put the FOV at altitude zero, as in under the tank.

Created a new config folder and if I set resolution less than my native resolution of 3840x1080 to 1600 x 900, the zoom will work. Putting it back Full Screen the zoom in multiplayer only as client or host will not work when tactical commander is selected, If In an aircraft it works fine. If I run the same test mission under "MISSION" from splash screen it also works fine at any resoution. So only as a multiplayer mission is the problem occuring. Fresh test mission and fresh config folder. Have run update and repair several times. Discovered that the "Zoom in" icon depressed, then selecting an area with mouse the ma[ will zoom in. It seems the issue is only with the "mouse wheel" zoom

Hi all, I'm experiencing a strange issue with zoom functionality in DCS World as a Tactical Commander since the update. Here's the situation: When I'm in the Mission Editor, I can zoom in and out on the map without any problems. However, if I host a mission or join as a client on this PC, I can't zoom the map at all; it's stuck at maximum zoom out. Has anyone else encountered this issue or have any suggestions on how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.

Anyone who purchased the F15E, including myself, should automatically have an in store credit to the value of. IMHO. Then no one gets hurt.

apogies if already asked, ive searched.

You can add M2A2 Bradley as well. Stuck on "1 second to reload"

When ATGM Stryker run out of ready to fire TOW missiles, they cant complete the reload. A player must get in and restart the rearm process by pressing CTRL+R possibly other vehicles as well.

I am having exact same inssue since getting a new pc. Mi24 is fine for first flight. Select another and click Fly and the game hangs. Task manager "End Task" only way out. Seems to only be in multiplayer.
