it got farther than before but i forgot to save the file before trying it with the pagefile big and unfortunately the log came back the second time with one line less than the first log. thank you for your time but i am just going to roll back version. i am wondering why upgrading this time broke dcs for me! anyone reading this in the future, i used this site in the link below to help me roll dcs back, i could not figure out how to get skatezillas updater to work correctly but i followed his instructions in the hidden content to use the command prompt. there was one thing that i got hung up on briefly and i dont know if it is how only my computer works or i was doing something wrong or they all work this way but when i was trying the command prompt and entering C:\Users\gri>CD program files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin [enter] ,The system cannot find the path specified would come back. i figured out i had to go folder by folder to work and it looked something like this. C:\>cd Program Files\ [enter] C:\Program Files>cd eagle dynamics\ [enter] C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics>cd DCS world openbeta\ [enter] C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta>cd bin\ [enter] C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin>DCS_Updater.exe update 2.8.8.43704@openbeta [enter] the updater popped up and loaded the build i requested. after i got everything open it worked like how it did originally.

You are correct in guessing that i have a lot of trialed planes that are no longer active. Yes it is a laptop. Last night i tried a full[slow] repair and a couple of other things and dcs always gets stuck in the same place. My gpu's are not close to being the best but it has managed to play dcs through 2.8. in the past i tried different pagefiles sizes and i didnt see a difference so i just put it back to how ot was. I will try your suggestions and report back, depending on the results, i think i am going to just roll back versions. Thank you for your assistance.

gpu= NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M and intel hd graphic 530 when i enter a mission, task manager says dcs is unresponsive and all the sources dcs was using, dcs stops using them. i also left dcs open in said state for 20 minutes without any change dcs.log

Long story short as possible, i updated my dcs build when the 15e got released and haven't touched dcs since. This past week i hopped on dcs to learn about the 15e, each time i got on i declined to update dcs, knowing it has been along time and the download would take longer than i cared for. Well, i decided i have been having enough fun that i would update dcs. After the update to the most recent build on openbeta, now when i try to go into a mission, training or editor dcs goes unresponsive almost immediately. I noticed that it shows the same spot where it freezes on the load bar. Is there anyway to roll dcs back to last build on computer? Thanks for any help

this past weekend I was lucky enough to go to thunder and lightning 2023 which the big ticket items were EA-18's, A10, demo teams and csar exhibition, last but not least the Thunderbirds. I had the privilege to meet the Thunderbird team and i was quite the surprise by their reactions. I told them that I fly and f-16c block 50, you should have seen the look on their faces, they didn't know what to say they were completely quiet for 15-20 seconds.I had a dead serious look on my face and then to break the silence I said I fly the Viper in DCs, you know what that SOB said next oh is that like Microsoft flight simulator. I just walked away. they do look pretty fancy in their little uniforms that they wear. they have stepped up their game trying to scare people by having the crowd look one way while one of the solo Acts last passed you from the other they didn't four or five times. I only had a heart attack twice. that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

for question A and B I am not really sure how I did it but showed I did in TacView . just kidding I was using that phrase as a figure of speech, I was just trying to say that I took a corner a little faster and sharper than I should have.

@Ironhand how fast did you start out at? what altitude? do you remember how much fuel you had? any Stores on? did you turn the motors off? or j Did you just have them idling?

would an f-16 even show up on an NCTR? since its engine blades are so far back and up in the intake? the same with the f18 as well. looking head on i cant see any engine blades. its almost like they where built that way for a reason. in the gulf war there where some missions during the time of day(sometime early morning like 330ish) when the iff codes would change and they made a big deal about not forgetting to change your iff codes so you didn't get shot down. when chaos ensues it is very easy for some one to think they have fulfilled the roe, just look at the 1994 Black Hawk shootdown incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1994_Black_Hawk_shootdown_incident

i was trying to make an mission and only got to add 1 fight, 4 planes and dcs froze. it did not do the formal crash and send the files to dcs. this was the only file that updated when i closed dcs, through task manager. i noticed the page file was only at4868mb, even though i bumped it up to 32768mb in the system. is there an issue? dcs.log

you might be able to find a mod that you can use the kh25ml. check out the su30-mk mod

@AeriaGloria i just came across this and i guess my original assessment was correct. it is the same scenario as the f15s' crash as well. this video reminds me of a song!

here is a great article and interview of the same guy that flew the 29, Air Marshal Harish Masand. there are some great pictures in the article. https://hushkit.net/2019/09/07/the-mig-29-is-a-super-hunter-account-from-a-mig-29-fighter-pilot/

@silverdevil i believe that was the issue, i haven't played a ton but it has yet to crash. thank you very much for the quick response yesterday! what program do you use to look at the files i posted in the original post? why would this update be the one to make the game crash when it very rarely crash before? i thought MT was supposed to help with that?

i have been spending more time flying the f-16, but i went back to the f-18 today for the first time since the update and it seemed like the f-18 doesnt carry as much speed as it used to. it could be because it has more nose authority allowing it to pull a higher aoa, thus bleeding more speed. every update i find changes that are not in the change log, i dont know if there is to many changes to list or that they sneak changes in so they can keep plausible deniability.

i haven't done any scientific study into the ai bvr but i find best results to delete all the advanced waypoint actions that are set by default, except the very first one, the first advanced waypoint is usually the action that you want the ai to take. once i stopped telling the ai the distance i wanted them to shoot the missile, i started having more fun fighting them. disclaimers, most of my missions the ai are attack me but have a few missions i have made that i sent ai out on their own to take care of business and they have done quite well. i have never tried the scenario that the ai only have 1 missile to kill the enemy.

is this along the same lines?

okay thank you, silver i will try that now dont think it has anything to do with how many aircraft are in the mission because i made a mission with 4 aggressors and it crashed again. now that i think about it more, i had roughly the same issue when 2.8 dropped and after a few updates it was as good a new.

hello all, ever since the last update with MT, i have been experiencing dcs crashing. before this last update dcs has crashed very few times in the year or so that i have played dcs and as you can see by the amount of files it crashes everyday i play at least once since i started. i uploaded every file in the log folder, unfortunately i have no clue when it comes to what to look for in these files so if someone could take a look, i would be most appreciative. i am gpu bound but i have just enough fps to play online without any issues. this happens in st and mt the same amount. the only addition i add to dcs is in the saved games folder and that is kneeboards and english cockpits to russian planes. a little background and maybe another issue, i would say the first 6 months everything worked flawlessly, and not issue. one day out of the blue 6 months or so ago dcs started to take longer and longer to load in to the game and longer to load into a mission. eventually it also made game play unplayable, i started looking for a fix. i ended up finding the fix which for my systems, was renaming the dcsopenbeta save games folder and also running a complete repair. once i renamed the dcs saved games folder, dcs was back to the same dcs i once new. January 11 2023, February 13, 2023 and March 9, 2023 i had to do the same thing, to fix dcs, i find it curious that they had happen so close to the same time of each month. the only thing that i can think of that i started to do differently is that about that time i started to save track files to upload here of issues. i play a lot of single player and i thought that the issue might have to do with older missions that i have made. but i had made brand new missions and it still happends. one thing that did come into mind was that while making the new missions i play them as i make them so i can make one thing work at a time instead of being in a cluster buck. the current one i was working on was bfm practice and i have a hand full of aircraft slots for air starts and then another hand full of redfor waiting to get spawned through the f10 map. i had not had a crash today until i started adding more than 4 spawn able redfor. i have no clue it this is even relevant but i am just throwing everything out there. hopefully some of this information helps. thank you for your time and energy for reading this post and i hope you have a great rest of your day! dcs.log-20230315-185605.zip dcs.log-20230314-170816.zip dcs.log-20230314-164130.zip dcs.log-20230313-043544.zip dcs.log-20230313-042035.zip dcs.log-20230312-163236.zip dcs.log-20230311-082936.zip dcs.log dcs.log.old debrief.log

unfortunately i was being reckless while taxing and pulled 5g in a 2g turn. i have had the wing catch on fire before but, it looks like there is more that came off from the little damage when that would happen before last update. another thing i have noticed that when you start to g lock it is off to one side when it happens, instead of perfectly in a circle. it also seems like g lock comes on sooner and faster than before.

why yes that would use less keybinds and be more streamlined but if you only had those two key binds would you be able to use the Jammer?

how do you set up the cmds chaff and flare page on the DED? I have had good luck setting the BQ to five and the bi to .111 and the SQ to 2 and leaving the SI to one second. my thought process is using it that way for using flares will put a big hot spot in one chunk of sky and then it will wait for a little bit and put another big hot spot in the sky so that the heater will guide to that instead of one long line of flares that the missile can follow to your plane. I use the same setup for chaff as well. I use program one for chaff and program two for flares. all you have to do is put zeros on the page that whatever counter measure you don't want to expend. setting it up that way all I have to do now to get chaff or flare is to push a button for chaff pushing other button for flare using the key bind program knob one and program knob 2. once I became proficient at the setup I wanted it does not take much time at all to set up the cmds pages.

the way to find moving targets is to have the Fire Control radar in ground mapping mode and then you will see white dots and you put the cross over the white dot and then go to the targeting pod and the Pod will be pointed in the direction which sometimes will be right on the vehicles other times you have to slew around slightly. what was helpful when I was learning to use that system was to have the targeting pod on one MFD and the Fire Control radar on the other. now I am able to have the Fire Control radar on one MFD and the targeting pod on the same one that way it leaves the other MSD available to use the SMS or hsd pages. just don't forget to make the correct ones soy because if you move the Fire Control radar just a little bit it moves the targeting pot a lot.

I can't for say for sure if I was or wasn't losing fuel because I didn't check but I did a little bit on the way home. there wasn't any Vapors coming off the plane. but that would explain why I had to continually trim the plane. another awesome upgrade that I found is that with the targeting pod we don't have the invisible wall at 40 miles. I saw at least 60 miles today and I didn't try any further because I was in the middle of something. I have the targeting pod saved to the Waypoint before the 40 miles that way when things come into Focus I am able to go to work immediately. when I slaved to that Waypoint and saw I could see to it I immediately jumped to the F10 map and measured the distance which was 60 miles give or take a mile or two miles. I just tried the targeting POD at 70 miles and you can see the area barely I had the area on a Runway and it's like after 60 to 65 MI the area gets dark but I could see the lights on the runway and a building in between me and the vehicles I was looking at. if I had to take a guess ED s expanding the boundaries of sensors for the coming of the Strike Eagle!

I was caught off guard by not having to eject. in this instance I was able to land. I was able to trim it out but then after a very little bit, maybe a minute, I had to trim it out again and again and before I knew it the trim Dial was as far as it goes and I now had to compensate with the side stick. is the trim getting worse supposed to simulate something? is that how it is in the real world? anyways very nice to see the viper progressing. has anyone else noticed the changes to the flight model the past two updates? I'm taking a wild guess here but I'm thinking that they did something to the drag model.
