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.
in the bottom right-hand side of the hud, in at least nav mode is the time to steer point which could be the target, miles to and heading to the currently selected steer point, based on current speed.
