I do not see that file, even a search on my entire PC doesn't give a result. If I do a repair it says my openbeta version is repaired. We talked before and it seems my version(s) works but is weird in the sense I have 2 directories in saved games but for the rest is conventional. Often when I get suggestion like this, I don't have a specific folder. I would really like to have a normal regular version, so support is easier. I'd like to do a clean install of DCS but don't want to go through all the settings of the software and Hotas. Is that possible?

Unfortunately, I don't have an openbeta folder. I searched for the file on the entire disk and didn't find dcs_variant.txt

Hello, I know we are going to 1 version soon, but I am afraid I will have issues. My DCS world directory is on D:, I have no DCS.openbeta directory. In my user\saved games I do have 2 folders for DCS, DCS and DCS.openbeta. My DCS folder has 16 subfolders (with liveries and such). My open beta directory has only 3. Should I just copy the 13 (not the ones I already have) from the regular DCS to the dcs.openbeta folder?

Update: All is working stable now!!

Hi, I watched Wags video of the sidewinder training and when he locks the first plane, his sidewinder gives indeed a distinct tone. When I do the training I do not get the same tone but the sidewinder does take the plane down. - is there something wrong with the training? (unlikely) - am i doing something wrong? (likely) Suggestions please? Ps. I hope this is the right section for FA18 questions. It does not really fit with the name of the folder structure.

Yesterday I did a training with Voiceattack (sidewinder) and no crash. Going to practice more today, if I crash I will post the logs

hello, Last version of the software I have installed was v20220720_patch1.exe. Can I install the 20230328 version of the software without breaking things (or in DCS)?

Thanks, being a novice, I understand most of it, but looking up what it means (or how to get it there) will be my learning process.

Hello, I was wondering what Information you have displayed on your screens when: Landing and take-off Flying in safe area Flying in dangerous area Attacking AIR assets Attacking ground assets Any other situations (Air refueling)? Thank you!

Guys?

I didn't do anything other I just supplied the file again after the slow repair was done with bitdefender off. The time stamp of the file is now 11:26, that is 20 min ago. It is resaved after the last repair. ps. just to be sure I did a cleanup first and it is also shown in the log right before the repair. pps. the log shows 10:26 but i think that is because of CET

I have bitdefender, paused it and did another slow repair. See the log.autoupdate_log.txt

checkdisk wat good, no issues In the log it seemed to have fixed some FA18 files? autoupdate_log.txt

No errors, Checked and no issues. No report or anything to see what was repaired, can I see that anywhere? Some log somewhere?

I already ran repair, what else can I do? dcs.log.old this is the old log, I see so many errors on that too...

When I do a slow repair, the end overview also mentions it repaired the open beta version (Successfully repaired version 2.9.2.49940@openbeta).

I have an open beta folder in my saved games, but I dont think I play the open beta. Where can I see what version I play?

Yes I did, a looong time ago. But after the hardware upgrade and moving DCS to it's own SSD drive, I only used the DCS.exe, and recently the DCS.exe in bin-mt

The I do a slow repair and even though I don't play the open Beta, when he is done, the repair says Successfully repaired version 2.9.2.49940@openbeta. Is repair repairing the right thing here?

Yes, Downloaded, installed and configured it together with BionicRaven last week. Maybe I should do a remove and reinstall of DCS, is there an instruction for that? What to save (saved games) so all setting, controls config, liveries, created missions stay intact? About a year ago I did a complete new PC install due to new hardware and I just 'moved' the DCS folder back to the new SSD D drive and am playing it. Even though I can play, it might be better to start again from scratch (except for the settings).

You know what is really, really strange? If I start a training and my Vaicom pro is on... crash, tested it yesterday 4 times, 2 times with Vaicom, 2 times without. Today I tested again, without Vaicom, finished the training, all OK. Started with Vaicom on, DCS crashes. Start the training without Vaicom, turn Vaicom on 5 min into the training, crash. And when I look at the log or crash files, they all point to graphics and as far as I know, Vaicom does nothing with graphics.

dcs.log.old I added the files. I have no mods concerning planes or similar, I do have Reshade running, is that a mod too? Vaicom? I have already run a slow repair 2 x.

Hi, time for a new gaming chair and I thought it might be good to have one that has the option to stop it from rotating when siming, does anyone know a brand that supports that? thx

Ok pls don't shoot me (i am new to kneeboard) do I download the PDFs and place them in the kneeboard folder? Or do I download the userfiles and download them?
