SKYWARRIOR

SOLVED

Max, Thank you once again for help. I am not on Steam I have tried to update and it starts to check then bombs out so I have re set my Nvidia driver to the latest but to no avail. I cannot repair it without entering the game and it does not do start. It goes for about 5 secs then the blue circle stops and ends. This is what led me to think it might be Graphics as this is the time the Nvidia panel comes up to check log in I have manually deleted and used the Re shade install panel to try and remove everything many times . Also repaired registry and shortcuts and everything that Gary Utilities will offer. When you say re name the DCS folder what to ? I have copied my input setting folder which is out of date by about three weeks and hope to use this when this lot is repaired. I have to solve this as I need re shade for the DDI panels and this update as opposed to the last four set the Re shade settings panel without the four relevant shaders UIMask top UIMask bottom Tonemap etc were not there as before so I blame the update in my naivety ! Any further comments welcome. The only good thing this that "Openreach" the `Telecom provider sent me an e mail saying I will finally after 6 months have a 1Gig connection so future rubbish will just take less time !!! David If its true it would be nice to have this fixed in DCS and negate "Re Shade"

I am a relative Newbie some 6 months now. Fly F18 and progressing well. Fly with Win Wing DDI screens and after some teething problems all working well. EXCEPT that the updates require me to re install "Re shade" to enhance my screen brilliance which when it works it works well. However this update screwed my re install of re shade and despite removing/uninstalling it the problem now is the game wont start at all. Faced with a re install on a slow IP connection some 7 hours ! my question is despite me backing up my settings about two months ago I have made changes recently. So can I retrieve my settings from, or copy a folder with them in and replace it into the new download which seems inevitable please. Yes I know a lesson learned the hard way but is there a fix ? David P.S any chance of DCS upgrading their video output code and the necessity for such a work around ?

Hi, The original topic was closed and some time has passed but the problem still exists. I was asked for a TRACK and here it is. N.B. Its raw and radar is not setup etc etc etc just get in the air and fire 120 's at target and show what I see. It's so distracting as the flow from one box target to another is interrupted and then you press the wrong button but then you did not / or did you ??? I have been through all button settings on my WW Joystick and cannot find a double binding. I suppose the basic question is What is the view that one sees on firing the missile? What is its official title ? I have looked all weapon/target views and cannot solve it. Now if I go on a mission built within DCS with say a Sparrow it works perfectly. No disruption. It does not work properly on all Multiplayer sites I have visited . It did work once way back before say two updates . However I have even had to re install Windows 11 and DCS completely due to another issue with W/Wing DDI screens and Windows screen placement. Thats fixed now. So any help or ideas very welcome LastMissionTrack.trk

Hi, I did some looking for double bindings with some flying mates in USA tonight and none of us could find anything. I did a complete new install about two weeks ago when the DDI problem was bugging me plus a slow clean and repair and it was still there. UNTIL tonight when having decided to fly with it and sort it over time it disappeared and went to the normal shoot and return to next one mode with no Disney following of the missile. I have NO idea why it rectified itself and as you say double binding somewhere but its not obvious and has gone away so thank you for the attention and we all move on to the next problem as yet unknown. Thanks D RESOLVED BUT NOT SOLVED

Hi, thank you for the interest. Here is a mini movie showing what happens when I release the Amraan . I am in a fight of four in front and I want to select fire, then my pinky button and fire, and so on, working my way through the targets as fast as possible then bear off with a trail of flares. All okay BUT every time I fire I get this view of the missile launching from the rail and following it towards the target. All very Disney but that My Movie - Small.mov means I have to reset my view back to the cockpit BEFORE I can fire again. Very time consuming and not wanted. I have tried to check for double buttons etc without success. Before my major troubles involving a re load complete of the game and Windows 11 about 1 month ago it started doing this and then one day it seemed to go back to the un animated process without the follow missile aspect. I Imagine I have set something that in both cases has been unknown by me but thats where I am now sadly.

Hi, I seemed to be a lot recently but its the place to learn for sure Had to reload game and lots of stuff and now : When I launch my missile in a dogfight it shows it coming off the rail under the wing and I have to re set the view in order to "pinky" quickly onto the next target in a group. It did not do this before and I dont want it to. previously it just moved in cockpit view to the next locked target and instantly. I have tried searching for a linked view or key but so far have failed. Any ideas please

"Glad to hear that. Just make sure to undo the workaround after a fix is out! Otherwise, it will come back to bite you, when you least expect it. This would be an absolute nightmare to debug, when you don't know anymore where to look." Just to clarify are you talking about reverting Stie MO fix above or the 8.8.8.8 8.8.8.4 DNS fix mentioned before as I am the novice and dont want to get caught here after the event please.

Thank you as this FIXED IT straight away. So the moral is "When you know what your doing life gets easier " . An incentive to learn more about anything you are using It is said it can be left as set now ? Is this the best way forward when DCS has fixed this ? Thanks D

Hi, I am a mere fledgling in this sphere so just count me as ignorant but learning fast. I posted on another thread as I was not aware of this one. Tried to Multiplay with others in USA /Canada from Uk last night and same problem. The trouble I find with all of these well intentioned fixes is that when I look at my Windows 11 Internet page it does not say the same and have the same headings. Therefore I am frightened to have a stab at fixing something I dont really understand or at least can "Parrot copy" and solve the issue. Maybe I am looking at the wrong page in W/11

Hi. Had recent issues so new `Windows 11 new complete game and all systems okay. All setting up done in house not Multiplayer. Went to connect Multiplayer today and could not find the site I wanted so left Multiplayer and closed computer. Re started one hour later and was offered a further update to latest 6818 98Gig and downloaded it, cleaned it, repaired it, reported all okay. Went to connect to Multiplayer and it says I dont have a connection and refuses Multiplayer and confines me in house with 2 1/2 hours. I am at a loss to know what happens next to try and make a Multiplayer connection. Any help vey welcome

Hey at last I seemed to have got this going again after 3 weeks ! Its probably my small brain that has been the problem bit I have taken notes for the future and hopefully I will return to flying the best plane I.M.O. with the best immersion so far. Thank you everyone for your politeness and patience, its appreciated Thank you

Hi both, I say both because you have both given the solution to the problem. Am I missing something regarding the set up of these screens. In the first instance they just seemed to work ( when the display position problem was solved). Now the columns are empty, so : 1 Where do I find the default files for each of three screens 2 I have downloaded some from the win wing site but they are modified I assume and my right DDI using one one of these does not set up the radar and RWR as I did before so I want the original un modified settings. Are they on the WINWINg site or ? You say maybe make your own but how please. 3 I have found that s/ap/pro is all okay in a retrospective way but not so easy for my small brain to get into from the begining. I am nearly there now as the download files work but maybe not as I want and thank you for your help and maybe just get me over the line with answers to the above Thanks

I have been into controls and selected the screens but nothing is there and yes they are missing . I have selected each screen and "RESCAN " but without success. Am I doing this correctly ? The Hud works , the stick, the PTO and Throttle all work its just the buttons. I have sent these pics to Win Wing and they will come back to me as I have re installed `SIM ap pro and uni screen display three times. As you can see from the pics they connect in s/ap/pro but not there in game

Hi, The stuff is never ending it Seems . I have totally cleaned my computer. Downloaded new Windows 11 and at last solve the issue of keeping display positions as outlined above. `This has really no logic but it at least works. Now I cannot get my screens to communicate with my F18 cockpit ! In SAPRO all is well and green on the left hand side but it did ask about checking the DDI screens to the right of that line for a while but all that is now green. Each individual screen checks out in the test page and the buttons register in that page . There were issues with left or right or middle screen but related visits to the menu and (part numbers to identify the screen) seemed to sort that out. Problem is when I start DCS the images appear on the screens and the are in the correct placing but do not have any button effect in game. They are just remote. The in game image does register to mouse clicks but a bit reluctantly after the start. Any ideas ? One day I shall be back to flying this stuff but not yet without some more hassle it seems

Well yes I did learn something today and I thank you . So I will go forward and pay for the 1 gps connection and look forward to the faster speed of download ( yes sorry ) . The lesson here is if the tech at DCS and the tech at my ISP ( which I spoke to at length again. again again ) yesterday had been so informative and clear I would have not wasted part of the precious years I have left stressing about this matter. Thank once again, I have my order re instated at my I.S.P.

Hi, Thank you for your interest and here are my results and the basis of my complaint. PLEASE NOTE TWELVE 99.NET which apparently are big data transfer agents. Very interested with any anyone in UK who reads this and can provide local download speeds. I re loaded the game two days ago and there was also an update I think as it seemed to just tag along. I was downloading from 1.30 pm from one day to 4.55 am the next. Is that acceptable then ? Or is that the norm ? The 71 mb upload is the speed available at my front door. I have a Mac and the PC hard wired to the the new replacement router ( in case this was the problem ) I use the Mac for everything except DCS which is dedicated to the PC. see spec below its not a faint hearted machine. I look forward to ordering the 1 G.Glass supply which is available within weeks BUT dont think this is the problem and I might waste my money.

Hi, This post is the only way I can see of opening a dialogue with the techs who handle the software download/team. I have this problem of a 9.3 mb download from DCS although my suppliers speed is 71 mps. Many months ago I believe a helpful guy sent me a mail about this and we started to try and resolve it but my e mail changed and I have frankly lost it. Is it possible for the appropriate person to open a dialogue via my e mail so I can discuss this problem outside of this forum please.

Hi, Problem solved with a return to a previous "Inferior power/grade " USB 2 hub that I had discarded to use a new more expensive 10 port high power USB S hub that in fact I now discover has caused all these problems !! We learn something every day ! David SOLVED

Hi all those that have taken the time to help me here. A lesson in hype and self deception regarding the supposed obvious ability for higher priced and supposedly higher powered USB sticks to perform better. 1. Bought ten port highest power USB C stick to ensure that my DDI's and some other W/Wing items were all together on the best functioning output. When I had problems I reduced the items to JUST the six USB cables from the DDi's only. Unfortunately this did not solve my problem of Window 11 keeping the correct place for the array of displays despite a complete re install of W/11 ( and everything that brings !). Some tech advice from the makers of my computer mentioned the "Why not try the original 8 port USB stick by Anker and although it was USB 2 its worth a shot ! It works reliably and despite my attempts to cheat it !! There is a lesson here and I am sure there will be many interpretations of that that lesson here but I certainly have my own. SOLVED

Rob 10 Thank you for your interest because the more info one has the more one can try and solve the puzzle. My CPU runs at 42 % and the GPU at 78% and meme at 95% mostly. I have new driver for GPU, Cleaned up DCS twice and use this machine for noting else than flying an F18 wit 64g men. Machine is 6 months old. yesterday after a flight on Multiplayer on approach the land failed to fill in and was just water and sound stuttered . This is not the same machine since MS update and I can se I am heading for a new install of this famous windows 11 prog if I dont get a better result soon. S/app/pro is behaving pretty much okay and the mod re the 0.03 to 0.3 has been done and fixed at read only so there is not much left other than a long hard slog to re install unless someone has a bright idea. Thank again for your help.

Hi, Battling along with this issue and maybe its confined to those that have three DDI screens because there are just a few of us and that requires display settings to be more reliable ? In my own opinion I cannot blame S/App/Pro which might be the obvious choice but in the end its receiving info from Wndows 11 and acting on it which its does `( despite the identity numbers of the screens being different to windows), Its Windows fault I believe and MS dont seen to want to fix it if the constant posts online are an indication. Even back in Windows 10 With that in mind I have decided to concentrate on trying to find a fix in the Windows registry as per enclosed. I am not a PC man I am a Mac man and need advice to whether this is possible using this advice posted here. ? : What are the EXACT words or values I type in the box to ENABLE the fixing of the display positions. Does this appear at the end of the text or in the first section ie REG-WORD does that now read REG-ENABLE or what is correct please All of this is really a pain because when working these DDIs are great to use and so quick compared with mouse clicking this apart from the realism of the whole thing

Hi it's good to know others have had this issue in a way and it's not isolated to my machine. Steam want £33.5 for a copy although there is a trial period so if there is a free program to do the job I would rather start there if possible. Since I am a naive on PC stuff but with this sort of problem learning fast is it possible to guide me through the registry process which sounds very nice and solid

Hi, They are plugged into the same hub and worked before the update okay. It seems the basic problem is Windows 11 is NOT retaining the screens as set in the display positions. This is apparent when I open the computer for the first time each time and the 3 ddi screens are located along the side of the main screen and not underneath. This means re setting and then doing the same in Sim App pro and then it works for this session only. I have uninstalled the display driver that is used by Sim/app/pro and reinstalled a new one but this did not solve the problem sadly. I am going to try a Windows re fresh install without losing my info and hope this makes a difference as I am at a loss now

Hi, Well its working on and off it appears. The Windows 11 display settings are NOT held firm from one start up to another. This throws Sim App pro into a spiral by re setting the screen layout and you have to go through the whole process of setting up again. I have done a cleanup generally with "Glary Utilities" and it corrects about 45 registry settings and some other stuff but no alarm bells rung. I was online on a server last night and could see the task manager showing 99% mem usage ( with 64 GB ram !) and CPU at 42% and never more. After a while , say 15-20 mind the sound started to get chopped then it crashed and the screens divided into a jumble not resembling the Windows set up screen at all. DCS goes from about 14 GB to 2 Gb when running with the above settings. This has not been right since the last MS update but hey if that was the problem then everyone would be bitching on here. I am using also a uni mask to enhance the displays of the Ddi's BUT this should not cause any of this as before the MS update They worked as did all of this stuff without much of a problem. I am naive on PC's as explained but it seems to me that there is perhaps a file ( maybe a Lua file that has gotten stuck o the wrong screen layout in MS Displays and I would like to remove it and then get it re written on start up with the correct screen format/layout so Sim App Pro is happy that it sees at least the same format each time and will happily load and run and not require a re set each boot up. Is there such a file and where is it please ? So what is the problem does anyone have similar please.
