False positives from Norton.

I took a look at the Autoupdate Log (in my case marked as the old log because of the repair I did following the reboot.) Interestingly, the log ends with the following lines: 00086.362 STATUS: Cleaning up... 00086.362 STATUS: Cleaning up... 00086.501 STATUS: Successfully updated to 2.9.7.58923 00086.501 STATUS: Asking Yes/No: OS restart is required before running the application. Restart now? 00086.501 STATUS: Got YES when asked: OS restart is required before running the application. Restart now? 00086.513 === Log closed I never was prompted to give permission to reboot so clearly this is a bug in the updater or the update process. I was sitting there watching the update so I know for a fact the prompt was never issued. The log file is attached and I am tagging @BIGNEWY. In reviewing the Windows System Event Log, I found the Event where the reboot was initiated: The process C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe (XXXX) has initiated the restart of computer XXXXX on behalf of user XXXXX\Mark for the following reason: Application: Installation (Planned) Reason Code: 0x80040002 Shutdown Type: restart Comment: OS restart is required before running the application. EDIT: A Bug report has been submitted. autoupdate_log_old.txt

As @rob10 said, you've likely got more issues with your hardware. Windows is finicky sometimes and not easy to troubleshoot. My issue was just during the update, otherwise DCS is solid on my machine. Google system file checker and run that first to make sure you don't have a corrupt operating system. You can also dig through the Windows Event logs to around the time of a crash to see if you can get an idea what's causing your issues.

If properly coded, the component that needs to reboot should warn the user ahead of time and not arbitrarily reboot a system. If what you described is truly the reason, then there is a bug in the process.

I used the launcher today to install the latest update. Towards the end of the process, I suddenly received the Windows "Restarting" screen and the computer rebooted. On restart I did a Repair DCS and ran it through the slow option. That reported everything was updated correctly. There are three log files that are timestamped around the time this all occurred. I don't think they show anything but are attached anyway. dcs.log cef_log.log dcs.log.old

The same thing happens with the stock personnel, i.e., the Carrier LSO

Not sure if this is a bug or by design: When I place a static personnel unit from the Massun Humans pack under a parking shelter at Nellis AFB on the Nevada map, the unit ends up on the roof of the parking shelter and not on the ground. I can place aircraft under the shelter and that works fine. Any ideas?

You need to modify the model viewer autoexec file to point to the Saved Games Folder. Starting about 3:01 in this video tells you how and what you need to modify:

I've been using the Model Viewer from the bin/mt folder without issue. Have you tried repairing DCS?

Thanks for the link. I would caution against making the file read only, however. You never know what other changes might be made during subsequent updates that could cause unforeseen issues. This may be one of those things that will need to be manually changed with each update.

@rob10 Is this the line in the lua file you're talking about (Line 19?) _winwing.interval=0.03

Winwing uses an app called SimApp Pro. They have profiles there and people have also uploaded profiles that you can access through the software. SimApp Pro is also how you update the firmware for your Orion devices.

Here's a bunch of 3d print models related to the Winwing Orion 2. If it were me, I'd just bite the bullet and buy the finger lift kit. https://www.yeggi.com/q/winwing+orion+2/

Thank you!

Is there any way to reduce the Model Viewer frame rate? I'd like to be able to use MV without killing my graphics card.

Thank you.

@cfrag Two questions: First, is there anyway to turn off the ATC airliner voice track other than to turn off the radio? Second, is it possible to add an F-16 that spawns in flight for Air to Air operations?

The link in the first post of this thread takes you to the right version: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3335023/

Better yet, dump Kaspersky. Bit Defender works much better and has never had a problem with DCS files.

If you decide to manipulate the snap views with Voice Attack, there is something to be aware of: Set the keypress times to at least .5 seconds. Anything less and they won;t work.

So I set the AB to just come on in the game then went out to SimApp Pro to get the value of the RX axis at the time, which was 12303. I divided that by 65535 to get the approximately 18 percent. What should it be?

@MustangSally If I calculate that the AB comes on at about 18%, should the SimApp Pro AB setting be 82%?

Thanks, that took care of it.

I think I got the AB situation sorted out. I had to bind a button on the throttle to Cycle the AB detent and as soon as I did I was able to get past the AB detent and into AB. I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to work though. I have read through the pinned post on calibrating the AB and will do that in SimApp Pro now.

I got the AB situation sorted, I think. I had to bind a button on the throttle to Cycle the AB detent on and off. As soon as I did that I was able to get past the AB detent with the throttle. I'm not sure if that's how it's supposed to work, but it does. That also solve the unrestricted climb problem.
