Merry Christmas to all.... These two guys had a Merry Christmas as they are still alive after getting shot down by Gettysburg And yes... I didn't know where to post this... sorry. https://x.com/TopGunOptionsHQ/status/1871930461095616691

Crossing fingers and giving it a try.

I basically opened that Hotstart Mission for the Marianas for F-18C into the mission editor and changed the ship to Truman. I also checked LSO and Airboss, out of curiosity more than anything else. When I then tried to fly as a pilot, the "press the space bar to end pause" did not work. I assume this is another one of those "known bugs"? After I removed those checkmarks in the Editor, it worked fine.

Thank you so much for this explanation. So it's not a function of the terrain per se, but in this case the fact that it's the Stennis. I was looking thru the "Super Carrier Ops Guide" following the Quick start Guide did open a training mission that uses Supercarrier and there they are all. standing around ... doing.. nothing. Thanks

Sorry for the dumb question here... I updated to 4160 and noticed NO DIRECTORS at all on the Marianas F-18C "hotstart" quick mission.. rolled back to 3948 and still the same thing. Haven't tested a lot of other missions/maps but are there still some directors on some missions/maps? I am so itching to see the fog or I would just go back to 2474 Thanks

I saw something strange in the sky when watching a plane disappear in the F3 view. And suddenly my F-14 was flying over Pearl Harbor!! ... okay not really. But the first line is true.

ok.. I just did a couple of timed tests.. they are almost the same. MT is maybe 5 seconds longer.. so... never mind I will this a try too.

I also attached a dcs.log.old Never heard of "core parking".. I am running Win 10 and have never tried to change it. Looking in Resource Monitor as the game starts I am seeing several CPUs come to life as DCS starts dcs.log dcs.log.old

running an AMD Ryzen 5 2600 6-core at 3.4 Ghz with 32 GB ram.

Thanks for this info. I've only been crashing DCS planes for just under two years now so have never encountered it. I have removed McAfee.. and I still suck at carrier landings and air to air refueling. But the Authorization errors are gone. Thanks again.

So this error coming from the DCS Updater is caused by McAfee?

Thanks for that info as well as the MT info. I really appreciate your comments. The recent patch is what started this for me.

Yes. I submitted a ticket and the response was to try MT. That's when I discovered that I didn't have /bin-mt/DCS.exe And have not heard back. I was just posting the screenshots in this thread since it was easier than uploading to the ticket. I am trying MT now. Still got the authorization errors, which now also includes the F-16 and Kola map. I guess messing up your install on a weekend is not a great idea. Or maybe Support is so busy with other dopes like me Using MT did fix the map problem. And I'll just wait for them to respond back about the authorizations.. maybe go out and clean out the garage.

Well I did do that. I marked the file safe in McAfee first, then tried to run the repair, where I got the warning. The warning came from the DCS Updater. So I next time to actually left McAfee remove the file (quarantine), then ran the repair. This time the warning was gone. Then I started DCS and again got the warning about Authorization is valid for 2d 23h 58m The following DLCs are not authorized and will be be disabled: Combined Arms And yes, I will contact support now. All of the F10 maps are blank, except for the units.

Tried to run a repair without removing the combined arms.dll first. Why are there viruses in this file Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I appreciate that. My employer provides McAfee for home use and we use it at work ("Trelix") Thanks

I am just wondering why McAfee never flagged it before, and, more importantly, is it safe?

Submit the file to whom? McAfee? And won't a "repair" just put it back? The timestamp on the file does indicate it was updated in the patch. Sorry to ask stupid questions but I would rather not rebuild my system this weekend.

ahhhh. Trojan horses??? Wrong time frame, me thinks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk McAfee picked this up right after I installed the update.

I guess I will give it a try... I didn't realize we could roll back xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx UPDATER VERSION 2.6.8.41 And Newer Use: DCS_updater.exe update <version.subversion><@branch> (ie DCS_Updater.exe update 2.8.0.32066@openbeta)

I don't check daily for updates and just noticed a new update. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/news/changelog/stable/2.9.7.59263/ After the past few months with the bomb fuze issues, I must admit I am very hesitant to install.

The greatest update ever!!

Bombs are working again if you like to drop a lot of them with unlimited ammo... for "practice" They also seem to inflict more damage. Always a good thing
