I can confirm this issue and also add that cycling through all the programs back to man 1, makes the dispense switch aft to release program 1 as it should. Dispense switch fwd seems to always release program 6 as @Nazgûl pointed out in the previous post. I made a short track showing the behavior. fa18c_cmds_step_bug.trk

It's not my intent to start a discussion here, but with all due respect, I don’t understand the reasoning behind closing the previous thread. The proposed solution aligns with my findings, and I don’t believe it’s my specific issue. I’ve shared two different sets of logs, which show delays that are inconsistent, ranging from less than a second to 7 seconds. While this isn’t a critical issue, I believe it might be indicative of something else. Furthermore, the last post from the OP in that thread reflects the same findings. Additionally, I don’t find this approach efficient. Opening a new thread closely related to an already closed one and losing all the comment history doesn’t seem ideal. That said, as I mentioned earlier, it’s not a major issue, and I’ll continue investigating. If I uncover anything new, I’ll create a new thread.

For the most part, and I also said I was going to further investigate to determine, if possible, the BIOS setting (even though I'm not convinced it is the cause). Anyway, it's fine by me, but as you can see in my previous post, there's still a noticeable difference in load times.

Looks like the original thread where I was posting was closed. May I ask why? I think the issue is far from solved and it is not clear to me we're even talking about the same problem.

I haven’t been able to pinpoint the exact setting that might have caused this, but I’m not entirely convinced it’s the root cause, it could still be a false positive. In the meantime, I asked my friend @dariocs to run the same test and send me his log file for review. I noticed that his load time was significantly lower than mine, even though we have similar hardware, if anything, mine should have a slight advantage My load times now: 2025-03-25 10:56:59.276 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "South_Atlantic_Assets": 0.013 2025-03-25 10:56:59.288 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "AV-8B N/A AI by RAZBAM Sims": 0.011 2025-03-25 10:56:59.299 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev": 0.011 2025-03-25 10:56:59.325 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "China Asset Pack by Deka Ironwork Simulations and Eagle Dynamics": 0.025 2025-03-25 10:56:59.338 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "Christen Eagle II AI by Magnitude 3 LLC": 0.013 2025-03-25 10:56:59.349 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "F-15E AI by RAZBAM": 0.011 2025-03-25 10:56:59.397 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "F-4E AI by Heatblur Simulations": 0.047 2025-03-25 10:56:59.405 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "F-14B AI by Heatblur Simulations": 0.008 2025-03-25 10:56:59.417 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "M-2000C AI by RAZBAM Sims": 0.011 2025-03-25 10:56:59.429 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "MiG-21Bis AI by Magnitude 3 LLC": 0.011 2025-03-25 10:56:59.441 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "Mirage F1 Assets by Aerges": 0.011 2025-03-25 10:56:59.452 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "OH58D AI by Polychop-Simulations": 0.011 2025-03-25 10:56:59.463 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "SA342 AI by Polychop-Simulations": 0.011 2025-03-25 10:56:59.477 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "CaptoGloveSupport": 0.012 2025-03-25 10:56:59.497 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "LeapMotionSupport": 0.020 2025-03-25 10:56:59.513 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "SensoryxVRFreeSupport": 0.015 2025-03-25 10:56:59.531 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "VoiceChat": 0.017 2025-03-25 10:56:59.585 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "jsAvionics": 0.017 2025-03-25 10:57:01.186 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "Combined Arms by Eagle Dynamics": 1.600 2025-03-25 10:57:01.737 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "Supercarrier": 0.551 2025-03-25 10:57:01.741 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "DCS-SRS": 0.004 2025-03-25 10:57:58.965 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "F/A-18C": 7.703 @dariocs load times: 2025-03-24 18:58:33.061 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "South_Atlantic_Assets": 0.017 2025-03-24 18:58:33.076 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "AV-8B N/A AI by RAZBAM Sims": 0.014 2025-03-24 18:58:33.090 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "C-101 Aviojet by AvioDev": 0.014 2025-03-24 18:58:33.123 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "China Asset Pack by Deka Ironwork Simulations and Eagle Dynamics": 0.032 2025-03-24 18:58:33.139 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "Christen Eagle II AI by Magnitude 3 LLC": 0.016 2025-03-24 18:58:33.154 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "F-15E AI by RAZBAM": 0.014 2025-03-24 18:58:33.215 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "F-4E AI by Heatblur Simulations": 0.061 2025-03-24 18:58:33.227 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "F-14B AI by Heatblur Simulations": 0.011 2025-03-24 18:58:33.241 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "M-2000C AI by RAZBAM Sims": 0.015 2025-03-24 18:58:33.257 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "MiG-21Bis AI by Magnitude 3 LLC": 0.015 2025-03-24 18:58:33.272 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "Mirage F1 Assets by Aerges": 0.015 2025-03-24 18:58:33.287 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "OH58D AI by Polychop-Simulations": 0.014 2025-03-24 18:58:33.301 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "SA342 AI by Polychop-Simulations": 0.014 2025-03-24 18:58:33.318 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "CaptoGloveSupport": 0.016 2025-03-24 18:58:33.347 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "LeapMotionSupport": 0.029 2025-03-24 18:58:33.367 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "SensoryxVRFreeSupport": 0.020 2025-03-24 18:58:33.389 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "VoiceChat": 0.021 2025-03-24 18:58:33.469 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "jsAvionics": 0.021 2025-03-24 18:58:34.477 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "Supercarrier": 1.008 2025-03-24 18:58:35.038 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "NS430": 0.561 2025-03-24 18:58:35.046 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "DCS-SRS": 0.008 2025-03-24 19:01:08.237 INFO WorldPlugIns (Main): loading "F/A-18C": 0.995 As you can see, the times are quite similar, except for the player's aircraft module (F/A-18C), where I'm getting more than 7 seconds compared to less than a second. I’ll continue my tests when I have more time to see if I can replicate those minute-long times by reverting to the previous BIOS settings, just to confirm whether they are indeed the cause. dcs-dariocs.log dcs.miguelaco.log

I managed to solve it somehow. I remebered I made some changes to the BIOS settings a few weeks ago, rolled them back and now I'm getting less than 20 seconds in the first mission load. I'll try to narrow down the exact setting when I have some time to test since I changed more than one.

This time it took nearly 1 minute and 20 seconds to select an empty slot. @Flappie is there a way to make the log more verbose and hopefully get a hint on what's going on here? It is really strange since it only happens the first time and the game runs smoothly once in the cockpit. I tried a full rebuild several times and it didn't do the trick, next thing is a complete reinstall, but I would really like to know what's the cause of the issue, if possible. dcs.log

I tried yesterday without running Process Lasso (it’s only used to switch power plan) and got similar results: long freezes the first time I select an slot. I managed to reproduce it while hosting a very simple mission, but I lost the dcs.log. Today I’ll try to reproduce the issue again and provide the log file here.

NVMe, Samsung 990 Pro running in a 14900k with 64Gb of RAM and a RTX 4090. I’ve never experienced these kind of issues until the latest two patches.

No anti-malware installed apart from Windows Defender

Yes, the installation path is excluded in Windows Defender:

Find attached the log of a recent session. First start is the Caucasus BFM MiG-29 instant action mission and it takes nearly 2 minutes and a half to load. Notice the different in the timestamps between these two log lines: ... 2025-03-21 16:17:20.116 INFO APP (Main): MissionSpawn:spawnLocalPlayer 1,FA-18C_hornet 2025-03-21 16:19:49.204 INFO EDCORE (Main): Loaded D:/Program Files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Mods/aircraft/FA-18C/bin/FA18C.dll ... After that I connected to an MP server and selected slot almost instantaneously, but the first mission load takes too long. dcs.log

I still have long freezes when selecting the slot in MP servers. Several minutes and it eventually works, but didn't experience this before previous version.

You can't set individual targets to bombs in the same station AFAIK. The next best thing you can do is to set the first 4 targets in PP1 and the other 4 in PP2, release 4 bombs, switch all stations to PP2 and pickle again to release the last 4. With a little practice you can do all this in a single run.

Not possible AFAIK since a Markpoint works just as a regular waypoint and it’s not shown in either HUD or HMD unless it’s designated as a target, which as already stated, forces AUTO delivery. I usually designate, roll in cueing the diamond and undesignate once in the dive, when I got tally on the target for a CCIP run.

It would be nice to have confirmation that this is being looked at by the dev team, as it is a pretty obvious issue.

FWIW I'm using OvGME to replace the dll, nvidiaProfileInspector to apply preset J only to DCS profile and DLSSTweaks to enable the overlay and check everything works as expected. I got the dll from the CP2077 installation, is there a newer version of the dll or the one shipped with it is the latest?

I also reported and provided evidence in this thread: It seems it's been handed over to the devs for analysis.

Same thing noticed and screenshots provided below:

Hi again @Sedlo, Tried the mission once more and got the same result: landing is not acknowledged and therefore, the mission score is not 100 as should be. Find attached the full track of the mission in case you want to take a look. Maybe I'm screwing things up at some point, but honestly I don't know what's going on. One thing that seems strange is that during the mission, the comms dialogue for the CASE III recovery is initiated automatically, even though I'm not in the carrier frequency nor called inbound. I had to request abort a couple of times to reset comms for when I'm actually RTB. I have no mods besides some checklists for the Hornet. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LtfnNPQt94DGSUnt3PqP4K_ZK-lho8Zg/view?usp=sharing

Got the same with stock liveries.

Strange, will try again and post the results. Thanks for the heads up.

New S-3B refueling lights are broken (missing texture?):

Hi @Sedlo, thanks again for this awesome campaign. Just finished mission 8 and I'm getting a score of 60 despite having completed all the objectives and returned safely to the carrier. It seems the landing is not getting recognized, I'm not getting the usual message once in the carrier deck. I took a brief look at the mission in the editor and it seems the trigger zones are misplaced. Maybe something was broken when switched from Stennis to George Washington?
