So I worked up the nerve to try this with only my startup programs running and nothing else. Same behavior, i.e. those programs that crashed or wouldn't start still wouldn't start. My apologies for thinking this was a DCS related issue. It only happened that both instances were while I was running DCS, and DCS was the most noticeable thing to crash. After a bit more searching, I found an old reddit post talking about a problem with Firefox telling the user, "Turn Off This Memo Ctrl+Alt+W". This was solved by turning off GPU Tweak since there's no way to disable the shortcut. I turned off GPU Tweak and viola... problem solved. There's no mention of this shortcut anywhere in the GPU Tweak UI or the user manual. If not for Maximov trying it without GPU Tweak running I'd have been at a dead end. Thanks to both of you for the help, Yar

Hello, I didn't want to put the hotkey in the title because I didn't want anyone trying it without first setting a restore point. I'm not pressing it again to check for repeatability because the last time I ran into this problem I ended up having to reset windows to fix it. Tonight I was lucky enough to have a recent restore point. !!!DO NOT TRY THIS IF YOU DON'T HAVE A BACKUP READY!!! Set restore point. (If you don't know how, figure it out. This procedure will corrupt windows in a way you can't otherwise fix without a reset.) Open DCS (I also had TrackIR, SRS, TacView, Chrome, Discord, GPUtweak, and maybe a few other things running.) Press the "cog" icon > Controls tab > select any aircraft/UI/General (I was editing Su-33) Press . (GAME WILL CRASH AND YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO START IT AGAIN!) Try to restart DCS, TacView, SRS, Windows Security, Windows Restore. (A few programs do work; Chrome, Discord, GPUtweak for instance.) Restart windows (This fixed it the first time I did this) If a restart fixes it, repeat from Step 2 until a restart doesn't fix it (For me it happened the second time. Dumb, I know) Restore windows. (It may take some poking around to find a way that works. Several windows utilities will crash when attempted.) Sorry if I'm a bit long-winded. This was almost the second time I had to re-install windows to fix this, and I don't want any other poor sap who's trying to find a slick keybind to fold their (w)ings in an Su-33 to find it. Kind regards, Yar PS - I don't know what logs to include, but I'll be more than happy to attach them as soon as I know what you need.

Vyrtouz or BusyBee, First off, thank you for all your work on this amazing program. Quick question (I hope). I noticed static objects are not recorded by TacView with DCS. The most recent post I found was from 2019 and stated the DCS doesn't export this information. Is this still the case? If not, is this something you have asked for from ED? If there's a feature request I can vote on somewhere, I'd be happy to do so. Thanks, Yar

Thank you both for replying. Just to follow up, I ended up placing the troops at the arrival location and set their start time way later then the mission would end. Then I set a zone "Transport1 Arrive" and a trigger condition: ONCE (Tranport1 Arrive, NO EVENT) UNIT INSIDE ZONE (Transport-1-1, Transport1 Arrive) and UNIT'S SPEED BELOW (Transport-1-1,0.05) GROUP ACTIVATE (Troops-1) It's really fiddly and I had to set up a separate trigger for individual transport vehicles. I could have just put all the troops in one group and used "PART OF GROUP IN ZONE (...)", but I wanted to incentivize partial destruction of the convoy, and this would spawn a who convoy worth of dudes from just one vehicle. Hope this help until the work gets completed, Yar

Hello all, I've been trying to get 1x Infantry AK-74 Rus into a 1x BMP-1 and not having any luck. (Ideally it would be more, but I'm trying to eliminate as many possible variables as I can) In several tutorials I've seen soldiers being embarked/disembarked from Helos (which I've gotten to work), and I see "Perform Task -> Embarking" available on several IFVs, APCs, Trucks, and the like. I can even set it up in ME the same as a Helo. The problem is when I run the mission the Transport stops at the embark location, the soldiers walk over and ad stand next to it, hours pass, the IFV paintjob is admired by the soldiers, the sun goes down, grass grows, the soldiers families begin to miss them, etc. I've tried "Transportable" on and off for both units, different ACPs/IFVs/Trucks, and different infantry units and can't get any of them to work. Is this a bug? Do I need the Combined Arms module to use this function? If I put this mission on a server will every client need CA? Thanks in advance, Yar
