Might be worth a try as you appear to have it installed via Steam. Doesn't really matter now everything is MT but someone on Steam the other day had issues with slow loading and changed it from MT Preview back to the default Play with Steam setting and solved their problem, think they did a repair as well which doesn't take long to verify the files.

Not sure if this is new in the last patch or it's the first time I've seen one but nice touch to the weather, just faintly see a double rainbow.

Not sure what ammo they loaded for this mission, certainly wasn't standard issue Huey against two tanks, chain reaction and the trigger for the explosion still operational. Guessing it was a glitch in the matrix as it's not done it again.

I'm happy using my Logitech C920 camera with OpenTrack, get excellent results with it. Got the PS3 Eye Tracking Camera as well but I get better results with the C920 in low light. Friend of mine has all the main brands, apart from the AimXY and swears by his Tobieye, he offered me his TrackIR and DeclanClip and couple of others for almost nothing and I was still "I'm fine with what I got"

Not saying it will work for everyone but in my case it did, pretty sure some of it is down to conflicts with Nvidia/AMD settings and the in game stuff.

I had bad shimmering, tried TAA and ended up with ghosting as well mainly on the undercarriage but overall look was horrendous so went back to 4x MSAA. In the end I turned down the sharpness in DCS which improved it a lot, then put it at zero and manage sharpening with AMD Adrenaline, guessing as I had it on in game and AMD it was over powering. Default in AMD was 80% so knocked that down to 30% and much better.

Probably already done it but will mention it anyway as it's come up before. Did you clear the key binding before adding the key binding, if it's default and red then clear it and just change it. I got a few red exclaimation marks on mods, some are because the key is used in a menu and not in flight so dual purpose, I normally change them anyway as I don't like red exclaimation marks

Microsoft never did like being told what to do

My default folder in Steam for the saved games used to be DCS World OpenBeta, then at some point in the last year or so it changed to DCS and dropped the OpenBeta part, the install directory is just DCSWorld now. Least it's sorted now that at some point they have had both installed and explains why they were using the DCS Updater

Those files that is says can't be deleted should be in your C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\DCSWorld\ folder for the main program, not sure how they have ended up in your Saved Games folder. Have you ever manually copied them across or installed Steam to the Saved Games folder, or changed any of the directories associated with Steam? Check to make sure bin-mt/edCore.dll is in the correct location as well: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\Steamapps\Common\DCSWorld\Bin-MT Also not sure what DCS_updater.exe is doing on your system, let alone in your Saved Games folder as that's the Standalone updater, Steam managed all the updates. Have to previously tried doing a repair or something using that off the ED site or had Standalone installed? Also your Saved Games folder name is wrong, Steam sets it as Saved Games\DCS. If you left Steam at default to start with Windows, open Task Manager and disable it, or go into Steam/Settings/Interface and half way down there's the option to start Steam with Windows, just disable it and reboot the system. After reboot see if you can manually delete the files out of Saved Games directory, as in edCore.dll and DCS_updater.exe or even see if you can rename them. You can also try to force delete the files, click on the file in question and press Shift + Delete, failing that it's command line to force delete it. Run a repair through Steam as well of the properties menu, not using the DCS_updater.exe.

That's a big update for that map, can see why some peoples downloads have been 250GB. Think mine was so small as most of the stuff I have wasn't listed on the update and the stuff that was it was smallish, I thought it was 2.6GB but was 14.1GB when I checked

You can pause Windows 11 for up to 5 weeks as a temporary measure through Windows Update. If you want it more permanent you should be able to do it like this. Press Win + R to bring up the Run Box and type services.msc to open Windows Services. Scroll down to Windows Updates and double click on it. Then change it from Auto/Manual, whatever it's set on to Disabled, then press Apply, OK and Close the box and it should be disabled, just remember you done it as you don't want it off for ever.

Did wonder if it was dynamic, be pointless downloading everything if you didn't own it. I only got a copy of maps, Supercarrier, Flaming Cliffs, couple of helicopters and five aircraft although that will be increasing shortly as there's a couple of helicopters I want and couple of maps

Yeah, I just started DCS and it is displaying V2.9.8.107 MT so has updated to the latest patch.

Maybe it's done on what you got installed, if someone has every product guessing their patch will be a lot bigger than someone that owns say 3 aircraft and a map so could explain why everyone's is different.

Apart from that you got people on Standalone saying the patch was 122GB, others say 250GB and the Steam one was 2.6GB

With specific laws around the digital downloads they should think themselves lucky they got store credit. In the UK it comes under the Consumer Contracts Regulations. Not in the UK it doesn't and probably most of the EU and other places, the small print normally states that you waive the rights for refunds on digital downloads to stop fraud, otherwise anyone could download a product, get a crack for it then ask for their money back. Maybe people should read End-User License Agreements which they agree to when making the purchase rather than just clicking boxes that say they agree I think ED were quite generous to offer a store refund when they didn't have too, I mean some people have been flying it since release then expected to get a full, cash refund for it

If it's only doing it slightly try adding a dead zone to that axis in the Axis Fine Tuning in settings.

Could have sworn I posted this the other night, guess I deleted the wrong post as I was tired I've had this on one of my systems before, turned out to be a program I had installed running a background command and interfering with everything. I just made a note of the exact time it happened then used a Powershell command to see if anything had run at that time, doesn't have to be down to the second more like just say it happened at 0900 you can look to see if anything run in the background at the time when it happened. If you start Powershell as Admin then type this command, it will sort it in descending order: Get-ScheduledTask | Get-ScheduledTaskInfo | Select TaskName, TaskPath, LastRunTime | Sort LastRunTime -Descending | out-gridview Alternatively you can use the Command Prompt but the display is a bit more basic, this way you can save it as a MS Excel file: schtasks /query /FO CSV /V >C:\Documents\tasks-list.csv You can change the C:\Documents to whatever you like, so could even create a temporary directory like C:\Temp, as long as the directory exists for it to save to. Slightly different but I looked at someone's system yesterday, they kept getting a blank, black box pop up everyday for a few milliseconds, used the method above and turned out to be CCleaner running crash dump files You could have a look at Windows Event Viewer as well, might find something in Critical, Error or Warnings to give you a few clues, again just make a note of the time it happens. Few years ago a similar problem was caused by a setting in the Nvidia Control Panel on some systems, Desktop Colour Settings and changing it from Auto to Desktop Programs seemed to solve it. Haven't seen that issue in a while but worth a look if nothing else works from other suggestions, might have just been specific monitors.

I've been up 19 hours so if I'm off the mark that's why, not sure if it's the new launcher causing problems or not but presuming it is so could try bypassing that and launching from the original version. Looks like you solved it while I was typing it

Works fine for me, only thing I found now is it's A/A only, no A/G capabilities but not come across anything that's not working. I know a few people had issues that was mainly caused by people installing v3.0 then applying one of the previous fixes so breaking it. Personally I saved the liveries folder then deleted the F-22A folder completely and just did a fresh copy and had no issues at all. Only thing I will say is I had to change some of the key bindings, the original ones that had to be bound to F-22 HOTAS no longer work, you have to revert to the DCS key bindings but can't remember off hand which ones it was.

Good you got it sorted and it's also serving another purpose with phone charging, I got a 12v Anker adapter in the car with two PowerIQ ports for the phone.

No, although I would just set it at "System Managed Size" so it changes as needed rather than how it's set now.

The Fleet Air Arm Museum in Yeovilton, Somerset, UK is part of the National museum of the Royal Navy so they quite often retain documents and manuals, more often than not FOI team will suggest you contact them or Farnborough, if they don't have the information and it is available to the public they generally point you in the right direction. There was a guy that put in FOI requests a few years ago and those were amongst the requests, bar one. He got spoken too by the MOD as it was classed as suspcious that he had put in 30 requests for different aircraft within a few months and don't think he asked again

Depends what you want them for, you can put in a request and outline your reasons under the Freedom of Information Act, can take a few months and quite often the MOD will refuse under Section 26 (defense) as it could be a threat the national security.
