Something on my PC is preventing the Marianas install. I click Marianas in the Module Manager, the game quits and I get these messages: The log file says: 00004.644 --- Log file: C:\Users\alanh\AppData\Local\Temp\DCS.openbeta\autoupdate_templog.txt 00000.000 === Log opened UTC 2021-07-01 07:48:32 00000.013 INFO : DCS_Updater/2.11.2.89 (Windows NT 6.2.9200; Win64; en-GB) 00000.013 INFO : src-id: 21b5e65c9a14074710f7a62e66e5bb6cca2afe2f, lib-id: bf64e300edca29ae7ef5ba1d4db27e53a1213fa2 00000.013 INFO : cmdline: bin/dcs_updater.exe --run --waitpid 3196 install MARIANAISLANDS_terrain 00000.105 STATUS: Waiting for parent process to exit... 00004.641 STATUS: Initializing... 00004.643 INFO : basedir: D:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta 00004.643 INFO : dcs_variant.txt: openbeta 00004.645 INFO : DCS/2.7.3.8494 (x86_64; EN; WORLD,FA-18C,F-16C,PERSIANGULF_terrain,SYRIA_terrain) 00004.645 INFO : branch: openbeta 00004.645 STATUS: Checking for updates... 00004.818 INFO : Got reply from www.digitalcombatsimulator.com 00004.896 INFO : Got reply from www.digitalcombatsimulator.com 00004.899 STATUS: Latest available version 2.7.3.8494 requires Windows 8.1 or higher.

I have checked Windows Firewall and the game and DCS Updater is allowed. I've also reinstalled the DCS updater after reading the FAQ on issues/problems. I'm also running Windows 10 which is up to date. PC is new with i7 10700 and a RTX 3700. Any help would be welcome.

Thanks for all the great replies. That’s given me a good steer. In terms of sims/games, I think DCS is the best community I’ve come across. Happy flying everyone!

Yeah, sorry it’s bit of an open question! I just wondered if there was an obvious ‘go to’ weapon. I’ve started with auto-bombing the MK84 which has gone well until I’ve just got auto-kicked from my favourite server (red units attacking airfield, set waypoint of red units on airfield boundary but friendly jeep and medic tent in the region that I didn’t notice when taking down coordinates). So I’ve convinced myself I perhaps need to learn my next A to G weapon but wanted it to be a popular one. I lost my way a bit with the Maverick so will have a look at the JSOWS. Thanks for the reply.

Hi guys, I’m new to the game and getting a handle on things but need a steer on A to G weapons. Basically, is there a favoured air to ground ‘weapon of choice ‘ in the game that the majority of players strap on for some A2G fun in multiplayer servers (not missions or campaigns)? I’m thinking static land targets. Hope you can help. I’m intent on grinding through all the training in the game but would like to hop into a server now and again as a change of scenery (and to blow something up).
