Anyone know how to revert back to 1.2.5. Cant run my scenes on Medium or High with Window 7 32bit with 1.2.6

Ok Staffi, will try that. Though I do hate dumbing down the settings.

DCS has reverted back to "DCS has stopped working..." since the update last week. I went back and did the CMD thing... -bcdedit /set increaseuserva 3072- Still no dice. Anyone else having this problem since the update? Or any guesses on how to get it to run again. Thx

Does anyone have a simple troop transport mission I could play around with? Or is there a tutorial on how to create one?

AWESOME! That worked. Even got to ramp up my "scenes" to a higher quality. Thx SiThSpAwN. And sorcer3r, def go to 64 bit! Thx guys!!!

I have contacted user support a couple of times and have not gotten a resolution. It has been over a month now, so I'm posting here. Below is a copy of the a response they sent me asking if the problem has fixed itself. I go into more detail of what's going on... "to dest Andrei, yes I am still having trouble. I have recently switched computers. My new one is an upgrade (at least to me). My previous computer was a Dell, 2 ghz CPU, 1ghz RAM Visiontek 5450 512 RAM DDR 3 graphics card and Windows XP 32 BIT. I had to scale down my settings to run this game, which was not a problem for me. My new computer is a Dell 2.4 GHZ Duo Core, 4 GHZ RAM, GeForce 610 DDR3 2 Ghz, and running on Windows 7 32 BIT. This is not a supped up rig, but I don't think it should just crash like it has. My old computer was slow but still it worked. This is faster but not stable. I cannot turn the "Scenes" setting past "low". I could on the old computer. Not a huge problem running a little on low settings, but the game cutting out is. When it does the error message read; "DCS has stopped working. A problem caused it to shut down. Windows is searching for a resolution and will contact you if one available" I've tried going on message boards to find a solution, but cannot. I want to get the "Huey" beta but not until I can resolve this problem. I have tried all settings. I can turn everything up to "High" and game will run. But "Scenes" only runs on "low". Please help me figure out how to resolve the crash problem. Is Windows 7 not compatible with DCS World? Thanks for any help in advanced..." I have seen this same problem on more than one thread. Have not seen a solution yet. And no it's not the naitive resolution, have tried them all. One thing that is different now is, no mission, training mission, campaign, or instant action will work on any resolution setting. It's a shame I basically have 33 gigs of useless space on my hard drive now. If any one out there has a solution or at least a starting point to figure out what's wrong, it would be greatly appreciated. Thx in advanced, Havoc25

I too am having the exact same problem. Any word on how to fix yet???

Excellent!!! Thanks a million!!!

I was having problems with my HOTAS not working with "pitch and roll" so I uninstalled (version 1.1.1.0). I downloaded the 1.1.1.1. version. When I tried to play it asked ford my activation key. In put my original key code in, but it said that was no good. Do I have to uninstall 1.1.1.1, then instal my original, use that code, then uprgade to 1.1.1.1 patch?

Every time I try to input UTM coordinates I get an error on the CDU. One thing I've noticed is all the post say that UTM come with 2 letters and 6 numbers. Every time its given me a 9 line it has been 2 letters and only 5 numbers. Is there something more that should be put in? I usually have to use L/L coordinates that they send thru as MSG that get on MFCD. Thats fine, but I'd like to create a WP with UTM. Whats the deal?

I've tried this several times and with different created missions. It only happens after I've saved profile in PREPARE MISSION. I've attached some pics of Weapon Profile Page. You'll see the profiles but you cant turn them on. LOAD ALL was done correctly each time. Also I seem to get weird, unexplained failures. I dont have any failure set but things like my CICU going bonkers and my left MFCD conking out; during startup, my IFFCC wont display any info on HUD in TEST mode. Once my right engine starts puffing black smoke for no reason, lost oil pressure and had to land turn around for emergency landing. My wheel brakes were stuck closed once. All of this after I've saved prepared mission. Its not a biggie, I can recreate my profiles at beginning of each flight, but I do wanna know why its happening.

Sometimes my weapons (bombs, rockets) will not work. I will have my MASTER ARM on, but it wont let me use weapons. On the Weapons Profile Page, even when I try to use the DMS to cycle thru profiles, it continues to say WEAPONS OFF on Profile . On the STAT page of the weapons profiles, out to the right where it would usually have "on" beside each profile, it has a dash. Ive tried cycling thru CCIP, CCRP, GUNS, NAV on the HUD to see if there was a conflict with any profile, but thats not it either. I've noticed it does this after I have created mission, Prepared Mission, created Weapons Profile, and then saved mission. But it doesn't do it all the time. At beginning of mission it will have correct profiles and ability to cycle. What's missing?

Anyone know blast radius for MK-82's? Created a practice mission with Friendlies close. Placed targets about 100m (300ft) from Friendly, can get good accuracy from MK-5 Rockets and Guns. Tried with MK-82; the first time went horribly wrong! Had the wrong profile and ended up rippling 6 bombs. Killed everybody! I changed profile to SGL rip and got great rounds on target. But I set in mission editor to display message if Friendlies were DAMAGED or DEAD to say "CHECK FIRE! CHECK FIRE!". Sure enough I got that message. If I have to use MK-82's, what is safe distance for Friendly assets?

Yeah, that was stupid. TGP not warmed up. Thx guys.

I cant get my LITENING POD to work in a created mission. I load it in mission editor. My DSMS page shows its loaded on aircraft. But when I try to go to TGP on the MFCD it does not have the correct OSB options. Namely the option for A-G. I've "LOAD ALL" during start up correctly, and even tried "TGP LOAD" to see if I've missed something. Is there something I'm missing???

Imersion Factor; to Makers of Flight Sims Wondering if this is possible... In BLACKSHARK you can eject and when the pilot lands you can walk around. And the Easter Egg in the A10C Warthog lets you drive a jeep. Is it not possible to have you start a mission in a psuedo-call room or ready room. And then walk to your aircraft. It would really add to realism to be able to inspect your bird up close. Just as any pilot will (does) do before every flight. Is there a reason why no one has ever done this in any flight sim. Is it because it's not needed or because its thought to be not wanted. In a flight sim world little things like that really add to the dynamic of it all. To me, small "enhancements" add to the overall effect. Most sim pilots love dropping bombs, doing high speed yo-yo's, busting tanks, etc. I love all that stuff too, but small things like 'knowing what THAT button does, and THIS button, and NEVER push this red button really gets me excited also. SOOOOOO... in the next DCS title (which I know I'll buy), is it possible to add the ability to walk to the aircraft?
