I was not implying that the BSOD was DCS related .. just that it was something i was able to correct on my own .

thanks guys : please don't waste any more of your time on Me with this issue , I have read it all and tried to comprehend it all to no avail , beyond my capability's , tried what i thought was suppose to do = No Joy and then DCS no start =something about bad image ?? so I reversed engineered it back to before i messed it up , ran it / cleaned it up also DSC repair just incase , all works well again butter smooth ,, i Give Up , will just remap bindings for P47 / F4U and F6F when released and forget the rest , DCS just seems to be too much work =Its always something ?? I'm not super computer illiterate , I have gotten myself out of trouble a few times even a few blue screens of death , and fumbled thru a few issues with the help of some from here. But I just don't feel like beating my head against the wall anymore ! --- I have learned one other thing == Now I know why I Drink and swear so much !! before i bought into DCS I was a Priest at Father Bobs Orphanage , no drinking or foul language / sang in the church quire with the Nuns / cookie sales with the girl scouts / rescued cats from trees == now look at me ?? but i still do rescue the Animals in need .... DCS cant take that from me !!! === seems my Gin and Tonic is empty - that was quick !! must get another . thanks guys for trying to help == Cheers ..

Thanks Everyone for your inputs ..when I get some time in the next few days or so ---And it Looks like I'm Gonna Need it ?? I will give all these a good read and try to understand it all / decipher / and give it a try , although the old HD has been cleaned out also with a fresh win 11 install updated from 10, all I have to work with will be the saved game folders I saved on a backup external HD ...

So here is the problem --i have saved all my aircraft input folders -- bought a new computer win 11 --reinstalled DCS -- as expected all input bindings are back to stock ... so now no mater where i replace my saved input folders , either in the saved game folders or the ED core folders . still have stock binding .. saved files did not change anything ---so it looks like spendings hours and hours re-doing the bindings == PLEASE SAY IT AINT SO ? Have i done it all wrong or ?? === Not looking forward to re-binding Everything ===any ideas or Help --Thank you ...

auto start can only be assigned to key pad , not any controllers .. hopefully they will fix this so it will be same as other A/C ,, and by the way its not the only item that cant be assigned to controllers , but only keyboard ? === fix please ..

Any Idea when this might be ready for use ?? Inquiring minds would like to know ..

First day Buy for me also ...

you are 100% right MasaMan ... I just didn't want to ask for too much at once, we will be damn lucky if we get the smoke, WWII being the unwanted stepchild as it is ...but you never know , so i asked anyways, you'd think we would have learned by now ???

The P-47 is such a good module, but it is Missing something .........a Radial Eng Signature item. .....Smoke belch on startup .. there's gotta be some oil polled in those lower cylinder heads? ED === Can we get some Smoke Please??

Success !! I guess i had it all backwards , The reading of the Symlink instructions was a bit confusing .. and i ended up making the symlink on the D drive .. "wrong " other way around is what was needed .. so after your last reply .. I slept on it thinking and the light bulb in the brain flashed ... ( I had done it all backwards ) so i found this on the internet in the morning = same thing as your last reply .. ========================================================================= I use this shell extension on Windows: https://schinagl.priv.at/nt/hardlinkshellext/linkshellextension.html You need to put your data folder in the other drive, right click the folder and select "Pick Link Source", then drop at DCS folder as a symbolic link. This way, you are going to have a link in DCS that points to the folder on your other drive. ============================================================================= So in the end once i understood how it works , it was just SO easy .. download tool / configure it / drag and drop terrain file from C to D drive / delete C file / rt click on the D file and send Symlink back to C , and everything works Butter Smooth .. So I learned 2 Tricks in the same week . Good Deal ' So now I reinstalled the Caucasus Terrain map, then moved and linked all 5 of my terrains and gained back 165 GB of Free Disk space == good to go / no need for bigger HD for long time now . if ever ?

so as a test .. you say delete the original terrain file from C , then just copy and paste the symbolic link file from D back to C ... == Or use that tool again to send it back ?? how do you create the link back to C

i tried that and the i lost the terrain ... I just rt clicked and deleted a terrain file from C , and when i started the game could not fly anything related to that map ... I will check back in the morning ..

Yes .. from the DCS / MODS/TERRAIN folder , all the terrain files but not the folder . I see the terrain files in both C and D drives , and the ones in D have the little symbolic link symbol at the edge of the files.. everything works , but I saved No GB space at all ...
