Hi again, I didn't notice mostly because I got shot down twice on landing at Tarawa being too much confident about the defense. So I put a Hawk site on Fujayrah. Have you thought about moving the fight to the west of the map too? On the persian Gulf, not just the strait of hormuz... Could be another mission, Operation Venom. That would be a "just carriers" allied war against Iran/Russia.....with long pinpoint strikes over targets in populatetd áreas, mountains to cover, very cool.

Hi Surrexen, Sorry to abandon you on this, as it seems that I'm the only one using Harrier in those fantastic missions. I've been out for a while but your updates are really fast. I love the Tarawa addition...you are my man Thank you very much! About the loadout, in my humble opinion the one you have (2xaim9+ 2x122 + 2x65G) it's ok for the most missions the harrier will do at the begining as the first thing you have to do is wipe out the enemy air defense. Also a good loadout is 2xaim9+ 2x122+ 2x38 or 2xaim9+ 2x38+ 2x65g. The aim9 are there just to give you pace of mind...nothing else. The enemy appears, you runs like hell at least they are Sopwith Camel Another one for SEAD preplaned targets and pro pilots would be 2xaim9+ 4x38 or 2xaim9+ 2x122+ 4x38. The Tarawa defense is a "must have" thing for me but no worries, it's something I can solve easily placing missile systems on shore. The reason is I move it a little to the south to be more confortable and to have a bit longer and challenging missions and quite often enemies chase me till the carrier long away from allied flights...so I need air defense. Again, I'm very pleased with this recent update. Thanks!!

Hi again, Glad we have another great mission Surrexen! Nevada will be very fun aswell. Despite the advices on how to spawn the Harrier in multiplayer/clients missions I've read on the forums, anyone worked for me. Doing a bit of trial and error, I found this: 1-Put a flight of two (not tested but prety sure two or more works aswell) 2-Rus the mission and select one of them, no matter which one. 3-The annoying "your flight has delayed" appears. 4-Select "change slot" and try the other one and That works for me. Happy New Year for all.

Yeah I give you that...Thanks anyway.

Hi all, Finally I found what's the problem related to the Harrier spawn at Tarawa. Nothing has to do with Snowfox mission. See this: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=256393 and this one is very funny, I don't know how to do a track file with this issue: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=256862 Well, these are two of many other threads with the same problem that seems to be represented in CLIENT slots. Since I was using Snowfox almost full time, I was not aware that this happened in every mission Tarawa is involved. I'll try with player slots instead of clients and see if it happens too.

Thanks for the answer Surrexen. I'm playing harrier right now and honestly I have to say that I'm having a blast with it. I think it's the mix of more or less a jet with an helicopter soul, and I'm a helo lover. For sure has some bugs but they don't stop me from enjoying it to the fullest. So sorry to hear that. I've tried both things, copy paste the stenis group changing to Tarawa instead and creating a whole new group. Both of these solutions fail to go. I think it's posible related to some scripting of the carriers?? I don't know... So I'll wait then, no worries! Thanks again!

Hi Surrexen, Very, very amazing mission you have here. Lots of fun and immersion. Simply astonishing job. Just a question, and I fear it's already answered somewhere but after having read all the posts in Snowfox and Clear Field threads I hadn't been able to find this; Is there a way to add Tarawa carrier in both Snowfox and Clear Field? I tried to put the carrier with a flight of 2 client harriers but no matter what I always get the message as son as I select the slot: "your flight is being delayed, please wait" and this goes forever. Thanks for your time.

And one Eastern livery? I know there is no theatre avaliable for this camo but... Walter Nowotny and his White 8, I don't have any original photo to show so this is my rc Fw190 1,8 span bird

In my case I found that if do not select any fuzing on ACP (Fuzing control) the mav doesn't get rdy. But again...it is soo random I do not consider it a definitive solution. What I do now is: 1.-Go to stores 2.-Select mav 3.-Fuzing any option different tan SAFE. I didn't check it with the manual control knob.....

These are working in stable version too. Thanks!

This is happening to me too in the stable 2.5.3.24984 version, even with the position and stroboscopic lights. No other module affected. I'm gonna try the Esac fix, hope this also fix position and strobe... Thanks mate!

Yeeeees!!!! Thanks buddy. We'll keep in touch as soon as I get MP thing working. I'm not going to take it into account because you've helped me solve my problem.... I'm sure that I've also made some mistakes... Anyway, do not think you've got rid of me so easily. This looks like a farewell!!! Again, many, many thanks guys!! You've made me happy again

The thing is working again!!!! Finally.... I did a complete reinstall of win7 with drivers and all the updates (such a tedious task) Then nvidia drivers 417.35 DCS without a single module (tested and ok) DCS with everything (perfect) Now I have to configure it all to my taste (no really dificult) I think that something time ago f****d the OS but I didn't noticed until update 2.5.3 revealed it. As I reverted and went ok this confused me and moved me away from right path. Draconus, negative! I do not ever replace the file because I was not able to. But trying to replace it via secure command prompt then appeared classpnp error also. This was the definitive clue to realize that my OS was bad injured, together with false memory stick behaviour. I checked "visor de eventos" and "eventos del sistema" and some errors appeared to. I repaired the System files on D:....now everything on SSD (this was something I wanted to do when reinstall OS, don't know if repair option could do the same though) Anyway.....I'm very happy again soooo let's Thank you very much to all of you....next thing I would like to try would be MP experience.

Esac, I'll do mate. Right now testing RAM Buzzles, I think there has been a misunderstanding. As in my post I wrote HDD you have understood that I'm using DCS on a HDD. Sorry but since 2011 I'm using DCS on a SDD and for sure it's night and day. I've tried a default chkdisk because i don't really know how to do it using its options. I'm gonna check it out. Revs, I did already all relative to pagefile without succes. My system has 4 memory sticks 4gb DDR3 each. Trying what you suggested relative to memory sticks I found a couple of things: 1.-Win 7 starts and works pretty well with only one stick, aand...no classpnp.sys error with this configuration. 2.-Then I swapped the sticks from their original positions and tried to start each time with one more. No classpnp.sys error in every attempt. As son as I insert the fourth, classpnp.sys error again. As you are thinking, obviously the last is the faulty stick...NO. If I swap it with one of the three already working well, no classpnp.sys error. As son as I put the fourth, no matter which one...classpnp.sys. So one thing I didn't tried yet (I'm realizing while writting) is to put just one stick into the fourth slot, maybe a faulty MOBO. Draconus, good one the manage computer thing (I never used it nor know about it even) I attach the screens because I don't really know how to read into it although I thing there is no SDD errors at all. I went to C++ as per said by Esac and also following this ED advise here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/556/ but I agree with you what is said in this link relative to C++ is not causing my issue though. (anyway tried everything)

I've tried again a DCS clean install applying those advices and tips but do not want to start either. The same s**t... After this I went to replace the ntdll.dll file and starting the OS just command prompt, a classpnp.sys error file arose freezing to a blue screen while OS tried to spool up. This is new!!! Then I thought it might be a HDD defect but don't have the possibility to test unless a Checkdisk, that revealed nothing. Although it is a 7 years old disk, is it likely to have a defect?? A ntdll.dll along with classpnp.sys show up something wrong in my rig so, I thing it's time to clean up the whole SDD and go for a fresh OS install....lets see. This is as close as I am to flying Still no test of memory under stress Draconus.

Hi guys, thanks for your answers. Draconus, reinstalling OS is what I've been avoiding all this time but right now I'm thinking that maybe this would be already repaired instead of having spent hundred of hours for nothing. At the moment I'm thinking the ntdll.dll is corrupted in some maner or there is a mess in registry/win installation but I will try some memory benchmark, just to try everything. Rudel, that meant DCS folder on users/games. I did with no luck, even turning VR of in options because I saw somewhere people that try this with luck. Esac, all those tips were taked into account already unless 1.-I just renamed my DCS folder in users to another name completely different without delete it from where it was, 2.-lived Eagle Dynamics folder because I installed JGSM inside (to keep the differents JGSM related to the games that work with). Seeing that there is so many people that don't use mods I'm going to unnistall it too. (that is said, I have a completely unmmoded version right now, just a fresh DCS install from the box) and...3.-I have the same framework version as you and all the C++ in the photo but curiously 2015 x86, and 2013/2017 x86 are missing!!! I'm gonna find and install them before proceeding but I'm completely sure they were there all those past months. The system managed pagefile is already applied, I forget to mention! At least now I have the certainty my rig can handle DCS for sure. I would test one more thing before reinstalling OS, if your advices doesn't work, and would be to replace the ntdll.dll file with another working without problems. So taking advantage of your goodwill, would any of you send me via pm this file of your system? I already found it but I don't feel confident enough with the sources. If not, I'll not take it as an offense of course. If this doesn't work, i'm thinking also to update (using the win 7 installation disk) instead a clean install. Any one did this in the past? do the register be cleaned and repaired...or will be another waste of time? I'm prety sure that corrupted files will be repaired but the registry.... Would like to thank your effort trying to solve my problem. Such a good people here...many thanks. Obviously, I'll post the results!

I'm having CTD (ntdll.dll c0000005) since I updated from 2.5.2.20785 to the first 2.5.3 and so one. I've been struggling with this issue almost 6 months without luck, some times just waiting for updates to come. I've read a lot of people having problems with crashes after a specific version of DCS but the only thread where appears somebody with similar issues, even similar logs is this: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=211823&page=3 where jetkid almost copy my log. If I revert to 2.5.2.20785 everything goes well. Even I tried to install my old poor GTX 680 and the same occurs; the games runs "well" (with the gtx 680 performance limitations) till I update to any of 2.5.3 versions. After this I posted a ticket to support team, they answer me very fast and tried to solve my problem without luck yet, but they point me in 1.-a memory problem due to dxdiag not being able to show my real vram memory, 2.-maybe I should update to win 10, and 3.-they said that unfathomably my system is not loading important files to start DCS. I did everything instead of a complete OS install and install Beta versión; disabling mods, disabling antivirus, doing the administrator thing, deleting DCS folder, repairing DCS, cleaning up DCS, updating Windows, repairing Windows, doing the sfc /scannow thing, DDU drivers, updating nvidia drivers, reverting nvidia drivers, repairing C++, reinstalling C++, fresh DCS install, etc. nothing changes. I have no doubt about the advices given by the support team, so please do not blame at me for writting here, I'm posting here because I'm desperate trying to solve my problem, I'm very stubborn. I read a lot related to crashes (to know that my logs doesn't give a clear clue on this) from Esac mirmidon, Bignewy, MadDog-IC, Rudel, Nineline and some other giving they valuable time to help others that like me don't have all they skills and knowledge to do it. But I'm completely convinced that there has to be something else in my case, even more when yesterday night I managed to start the game till the menu after a CaptoGlove folder delete, attempt to unsuccesfuly start, do a DCS repair and trying again reaching the menu screen. (unfortunately, I was tired and was late at night, I didnt save any log and the most important, I've been not able to replicate either, unless some load bar screens and not just logo/version) So to the point as per title says, is there anybody using the game with similar specs like me (hardware/software) without any problem? and if it yes please, could be so kind so as to explain me in which conditions? Thanks MekakoLogs.zip

Sadly there is some people having more or less this issues here. I also had a problem since I updated to 2.5.3.21708 (this is the first version I can't actually use). Till then, I'm experiencing DCS crashes during startup every time no matter how I do, disabling antivirus, deleting DCS folder, repairing DCS, cleaning up DCS, updating Windows, repairing Windows, updating nvidia drivers, reverting nvidia drivers, repairing C++, reinstalling C++, fresh DCS install,etc. nothing changes. I've read a lot related to the issue, applying all the tips the people give to the other guys, I've even posted a ticket to DCS support and despite they attend me very fast and on weekend, there was nothing they can do by the moment, only saying me to install win 10. The most similar post I found with people having my problem was this: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=211823&page=2 and inside Michelip; Florate and Jetkid having the same behaviour and even jetkid with the same log than me. The only thing that solves the problem for me is to revert DCS to version 2.5.2.20785 Why I'm saying that, first because I want to say you: you are not alone in this, I'm strugling with this problem also since summer and I could feel your frustration, at least you have an answer from anyone. Second, because you also have win 7 sp1, the ERROR EDCORE: LoadLibrary failed for ./CoreMods/services/CaptoGlove/bin/edCaptoGlove.dll and nvidia card with a shader deferred error. The only thing you can try to solve the shader thing in your log (ERROR DX11BACKEND: Can't find precompiled shader deferred/) is to go to nvidia panel and inside the dcs especific settings CUDA GPU chose GTX 1060 and not "use global configuration". That cleaned this part of the log, but didn't solve the crash in my case. dcslog.zip

It happened to me aswell, everything but Nevada was ok. I did a repair and nothing changed. I updated the nvidia drivers to 398.36 and MSI Afterburner to 450. Now goes as usual without any problem. Hope it helps I have a very old rig, I7 2600 overclocked to 4.5, 225gb SSD, 500gb hdd, 16gb ram ddr3 and GTX 680 overclocked a little bit with Afterburner, but I managed to get 30 fps very stables. DCS versión 2.5.2.18736.400

:megalol: Instead a bug, I would say it's just a modification to be done at the instructions pdf. Just uncheck the "Replace Season" if you want to keep the original season. No brainstorming for that!!! Anyway, it's an amazing mod. :thumbup:

Wooow!!! that was a direct hit...:lol: Thank you so much for your quick reply, now I have a random weather again!! Winz, just a question... It happens only once but, in your instructions pdf I read if you check "Filter by Season", the option "Replace Season" remains with no function. Despite of this I had a season replaced in one of the Medvedev missions. After that I unchecked "Replace Season" just in case and the season haven't been changed any more in that misión (3 of 3). PD: "Speed is life, altitude is life insurance" This is a common phrase, a pilot way of think in real life, if you want to retire doing this job. Are you a pilot working in real life?:pilotfly:

Sorry, i forgot to show my spec. Win 7/cpu i7-2600k 3,4/ram 16gb/graphics gtx680

Hi winz, I just downloaded your app 1 week ago. I tested it a couple of times and everythink was ok.I left the sim until today. When I turned on my computer, I realized that there was an update for net framework 4.5.1 and DCS 126.20768. I applied both of them. After this actions something get wrong with the app and no change in weather any more. I tried to call the app and get a error message saying: Error executing application. See log. Message: Acceso denegado a la ruta de acceso 'Vergeevs_group_002_eng.miz'. Trace: en System.IO.Directory.DeleteHelper(String fullPath, String userPath, Boolean recursive, Boolean throwOnTopLevelDirectoryNotFound) en System.IO.Directory.Delete(String fullPath, String userPath, Boolean recursive, Boolean checkHost) en WeatherReplacer.Config.ReplacerConfiguration.InitDirs() en WeatherReplacer.Config.ReplacerConfiguration..ctor() en WeatherReplacer.Config.ReplacerConfiguration.get_Instance() en WeatherReplacer.MainForm.LoadConfiguration() en WeatherReplacer.MainForm..ctor() en WeatherReplacer.Program.Main(String[] args) Trying to look for the problem, I found the recent update 20768 modified me_mission.lua, maybe this would be the reason? maybe the new framework version? maybe I should did some action before the DCS update? It's weird the message Acces denied 'Vergeevs_group_002_eng.miz' because I had the vergeevs campaing working well the first time I installed your app and everything was fine. I unnistalled your app following your instructions and everytime I try to run troposphere get the same message as above. I deleted every file found in my computer, in reg, etc... related to troposphere but nothing changed. It's a pity because I like very much your mod. Thanks in advanced for your effort. It's amazing the job all of you do with the community.

With 1.2.2 update the DL problem was solved. Now i can use it like before. Even I can send an initial point of attack and he follows as ordered. If you send the position of a ground moving target and order to your wingman to attack it, he would not find it because the target has moved... it has sense although I do not remember if I did it before. Anyway many thanks to ED guys, great job!!!!
