I have an issue with incorrect loadouts. The loadout in the mission editor corresponds with the loadout on the aircraft in the mission but the loadout does not correspond in the DSMS - some weapons are not loaded and some weapons are listed that are not on the original loadout - the CBU-105 for instance! I had a CBU-105 loaded previously in the mission but I have changed the loadout since. Any ideas? A-10C JTAC Mission - Sochi-Adler.miz

A quick update - I have updated my SK60 to the 1.2.1 version and the Encyclopedia works fine in the Mission Editor. I'm glad about that because I love the SK60. It's just a great, fun plane to fly. I saw one of the very last Swedish Airforce ones flying at Fairford last year. Download from here ... https://github.com/BAAS-Dynamic/DCS-SK60-Mod/tree/v1.2.1 Regards Nial

BTW - There is an update for the SK60, so I'll try that and report back.

I've gone through my MODs and it looks like the "DCS-SK60-Mod-1.0.0" is doing it. I have 476Range Targets turned off because it has hundreds of assets that I don't use regularly, and I have JAS39 turned off because that was giving me trouble - but I can't quite remember what, not related to this issue anyway. . In my DCS Main Game, I have the following MODs enabled: I'm not saying you have the same MOD and it is causing you an issue, I'm just sayig what caused my problem. Your problem may be a different MOD, but I'd say it's definitely MOD related. Cheers Nial

I just had exactly the problem and it is definitely MOD related. I disabled ALL of my MODS through OvGME, went bak into th esame mission and it works fine. I'll test and find out what MOD is doing it but it's a balls ache - MOD on, start DCS, check, turn off DCS, MOD on etc. etc. until you lose the will to live. But, that's the only way to find it unfortunately. When I find it, I'll post my findings on here. BTW - running repair is no problem. I do it regularly if DCS has crashed. There are two options, just use the default.

I noticed that the page transparency works in VR when using OpenKneeboard, but not in 2D

Hi Guys I've been playing around creating kneeboards for the Mi-24P. My kneeboard has a ring binder left edge on a transparent background. I save the files in PNG format. When I view them in game, the transparent edge is a grey colour. Okay, so I could make it look a little better by having a white background, but is there a way of getting the transparent background to work? Thanks Nial

Sorry Flappie, I missed your reply. I found the problem and I'm sorry that I forgot to say. I noticed that the Su-30MK mod was causing the issue. Once I removed the MOD, my infantry was all present and correct - no more deserters.

#Rudel_chw Thanks In my OvGME Saved Games folder I recreated the file path for the MOD. I forgot that step previously All is well in the MOD world yet again. "D:\DCS MODS Saved Games\Massun92-Humans\Mods\Tech\Massun92-Humans"

Hi, yes, perfect thanks. When I went to the download site I completely missed th elink for the crew and lights *DOH* Something else you may be able to help with ... I placed the extracted folder to my OvGME Saved Games Folder and activated it from OvGME but it doesnt load in the correct location - "E:\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\Tech". If I copy and past the extracted folder directly to "E:\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\Tech", the MOD works fine. I tried importing the MOD directly into OvGME but you can only import ZIP files, and not RAR files. Of course, I tried converting the RAR to ZIP but that didn't work either Cheers Nial

Since the update 22/05/2024 all Russian infantry has been wiped out from my missions and there is no longer an Infantry catagory! Uder 'Personel' there is ony a US pilot, but he is from a MOD. In Deck Equipment, under USSR, I only have the options of two Skiramps! Whats going on?

Thanks TOViper, I suspected as much. I have extracted the pages using screen captures. If anyone needs them, I have attached them here as PDF files. I just created an AJS37 Kneeboard in Saved Games so I can access them using OpenKneeboard in VR. Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\AJS37 001.pdf002.pdf003.pdf Nial

Hi Guys, Does anyone know where the AJS37 Kneeboard pages are hidden? I use OpenKneeboard as an add-on when I fly in VR, and it works pretty well, except it won't load up lua kneeboards, such as the Viggen. However, I can paste pages into the Kneeboard folder in Saved Games and then OpenKneeboard can see them. I am after the Airbase pages (three of them) that are on the Default Viggen kneeboard. I want to save them as PDF pages. Many thanks.

Hi TOViper Did you download this page from the AJS37 Kneeboard or is it just a screen capture? If you downloaded it, where did you find it? Thanks

I've tried searching but it would take forever to wade through the irrelevant posts that come up in the search. Maybe you could point me in the right direction.

It's great that DCS is bringing out so many great new products, the Afghan map etc. The new aircraft on the horizon is an exciting addition. But who do these new aircraft fight with in the air-to-air theatre? A bunch of low fidelity Russian foe. Don't get me wrong, I love flying my Russian helicopters and the Flaming Cliffs Russian aircraft, but when it comes to full fidelity, we are being short changed. I don't want to fly an F-16 or an F-15, I want to be bringing them down! I know there are difficulties in getting access to Russian aircraft, but surely, since the collapse of the wall, there must be plenty of examples of Russian built aircraft all over the former Soviet block, the former East Germany even. I remember going to airshows where the Su-27 and Mig 29 were represented by the German air force. I think I read somewhere that a full fidelity Su-27 is on th ecards, but maybe that was just in a dream. What do you guys think?

I just tested. Perfect Thanks

Okay. I do have the R-800 radio tuned so I will bind a button to the Push to Talk. Thanks

I've experienced this in several of my Ka-50 III missions ... When I'm sat at the airfield, I can use the Communications Menu Button to call up ATC etc. I have the button (/) bound to my Hotas throttle and also to my Voice Attack. The menu works fine until I get airborne. From then on I can't get the comms menu up! I've tried both bindings and th ekeyboard command. I have tried this in various missions on the Caucasus map, flying out of various airfields, and I get the same thing. Any ideas? Thanks

I have the Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog. It is barely 12 months old and Thrustmaster have already replaced the main PCB in the throttle - more to the point, they sent me a PCB and I replaced it. When I took he throttle apart, the body was full of plastic swarf particles showing signs of wear in th ebearing, I presume. This past week, the buttons on the throttle stopped working on any setting other than full throttle! I took the unit apart and blew, brushed out the case and the contol boards. The boards smell as thought they have been getting hot, you know, that hot electric smell? Why dowsn't the thorttle have a fan installed if it get's that hot? The throttle is working agai now, but I have no doubt it will fail again! So here is the answer to the sub standard of the Thrustmaster HOTAS, 1. don't buy the junk in the first place, save up and buy a superior product or 2. have a second,, spare HOTAS so you always have a working HOTAS while you wait for Thrustmaster support to get back to you, if they ever do! Good hunting guys. Regards

Hi. I disabled all of my MODS, not just the ones used by my mission, and reintroduced them one at a time. Ironically, I found that the JAS39 MOD seems to cause the crash! Maybe someone else can confirm?

I think this thread has gone around in a circle. We have determined that you need to click the Collective Clutch Lock/Release Button if you did a cold start with the flight engineer carrying out the start. Read the thread back through and you will see the symptoms and the resolution.

The Viggen 'buried' wheel problem seems to have been fixed in v2.9.2 - thanks guys Any chance you could look at the AI Viggen, the wheels hover above any hard standing. Not an issue but it does sort of spoil the immersion.

This has happened on numberous airfields on the Caucus map. It may happen pn pther maps but I can only speak from experience. When I have the radar set to Landing Nav mode and the Auto throttle set, DCS crashes when about 10 to 15 miles out from the airfield. I experience this regularly on the approach to Kutaisi and also on th eapproach to Beslan. I have a couple of mods in th eattached training mission but I have tried it with and without the mods and I get the same issue. The mission is just a selection of hot and cold start AJS-37 Viggens with differing armament for practice, so nothing technical. AJS 37 Flight Training.miz

I have been having the same issue with AI ATC. Clearance to start-up works fine, when I go into the comms menu to ask permission to taxi, the 'Request Start-up' menu option is still active. Once I begin to taxi THEN I get the cleared to taxi message. From then on, everything works fine - Request takeoff etc.
