  1. I've recently installed Twitch2DCS and I am now getting "[string "C:\Users\Jim\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Scripts\Twitch2DCS.lua"]:236: loop in gettable" every time I start DCS. Any ideas?
  2. I don't know what you mean by names mods.
  3. Initially I just thought it was a massive coincidence that I was hearing my bort number (I always set mine in the loading screen to 610) on virtually every call the super carrier was making. However, last night I was on a recovery as No2 in a flight of 2 and when the lead made his ball call I heard the carrier respond with my bort number (610). On asking him what he has set he said he had 068 and that was what he heard. It seems since the super carrier was released you only ever hear your own bort number regardless of who the call was too. Gets a bit confusing when there a load of recoveries. A new bug maybe?
  4. As my namesake said the pilots all came back to the UK, for some simulator sessions to re-qualify in the use of the LDP. The mixed 2 ship flights continued for a long time but the Typhoon had it's own LDP after about week 2. The main reason for the mixed formations was the Typhoons 1000lb bomb was great for the middle of the desert but lacked subtlety when collateral damage was a concern and that was when the Tornados smaller PGMs were better suited. Latterly the Typhoon flew the majority of the missions near the end as it's dispatch rate was much better than the aged Tornado. Also, Spectre, they were T1 Blk 5 aircraft that went out, I spent a whole weekend getting them ready!
  5. Within the Scripts/UI folder there is a file gameMessages.dlg. Open it with Notepad++ and you will find 6 [Fontsize] entries. Edit them to what ever size text you want, default is 10 I think. Each entry relates to a different message source so you will need to experiment if you only want to change one.
  6. Not as far as I know! I just checked and it was indeed set to true. I don't ever remember changing that. Anyway, set to false and deck crew now render correctly. Only question now is what else has changed by me changing that setting!!!!
  7. I have flown into and out of Al Dhafra many times. It's runways are as smooth as any in the West. In DCS they might be made from Coral!!
  8. I've flown of a lot of real runways including grass in small aeroplanes and I can assure you this is not realistic in any way whatsoever.
  9. Has anyone else noticed how rough and bumpy all the runways have become in this version? Or is it just me?
  10. I'm afraid your external textures, especially on the XI Sqn Typhoon are way too faded. Have a look at a real one.
  11. I'd just like to get it connected to the game so I can use it for it's intended purpose. I don't mean to dampen your enthusiasm but what you are asking for is the ability to listen to entertainment radio channels whilst in a Combat Simulator. Why?
  12. I am having an odd issue with SRS at the moment which may or may not be linked to a new issue introduced with DCS 2.5.6 and recent update to ESET Nod32 Antivirus. A couple of days ago ESET started giving false positive hits on several DCS .dll files and it was deleting them. I had to switch off real-time protection for the DCS root folder before it would even repair. Shortly after that I noticed that SRS would connect to the server and VOIP but not the game. I reinstalled SRS, same result (that normally fixed any issue I had with SRS in the past). Thinking there might be some issue with the AV I placed both the SRS installation directory and the entire saved games folder into the AV exceptions list so now SRS, saved games and DCS Open Beta are all excluded from real time protection. Everything runs ok except SRS will still not connect to the game. Interestingly, as I also have DCS stable (2.5.5) installed I tried that and SRS connected to the game immediately. Anybody come across this before? Anybody have any suggestions for anything I might have missed? PS. I looked at the DCS-SimpleRadio Troubleshooting Post from Ciribob's signature but I'm not sure if that is still accurate as the files it refers to in the (step 6) C:/Users//Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Scripts folder no longer seem to follow that structure and this guide is 4 years old so a lot of development water has passed under the bridge in that time.
  13. Further to above there was nothing else found on my PC during the scan. I tried to run a DCS repair and it failed as it couldn't write these files to the drive. I temporarily disabled real-time scanning of the DCS directory and DCS repaired ok. I then virus scanned again and got the results you can see in the attached screen grab. So, my conclusion is, since I have not updated DCS in a couple of days and since my latest Virus definitions were applied today and I downloaded fresh copies of these files via a DCS repair which were also flagged as infected, is that there is now a false positive on these 3 files by ESET Nod32. ED, is this something you need to talk to ESET about?
  14. Guys I am posting this whilst running a full virus scan to check for further issues. Earlier tonight I ran DCS and was surprised to get 2 real-time Anti Virus hits from ESET Nod32. I have attached 2 screen shots, one from the second AV hit, the first cleared before I could react, and the second from the AV logs. It appears there were viruses in 2 of the DCS files when the were accessed. There was no issue last night and I have used ESET Nod32 alongside all of my Flight Sims for years without issue. My AV updated it's Virus definitions this afternoon, could this be a new false hit or is there a greater problem here? I've just noticed that during the scan another DCS file was flagged. "C:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F-15C\bin\F15.dll - a variant of Win64/Packed.VMProtect.KO trojan - cleaned by deleting [1]" so that is 3 x aircraft .dll files (F15, SA342 and P51B) that have issues, so far. Sac still ongoing. Is this something ED need to sort with ESET or do I have a real issue?
  15. Well, I’d fly a Ka-50 but as I’m not in a squadron I suppose I’ll just have to watch from the side-lines. If you get really desperate, you know where to find me. Specter
  16. Hey Bignewy Is this still valid info for getting a change of username? Rgds
  17. Specter - F18 Bullet, some of the images in your first post don't appear, for me at least. Also, I have no objections to a reschedule, if required, so all the usual suspects can attend.
  18. Just to clear up a couple of misconceptions. The RAF declared a autonomous initial A/G capability shortly after Exercise Green Flag 2008 using Tranche 1 Blk 5 with Litening 3 LDPs and Paveway 2 (1000lb bombs). It was also capable of dropping 1000lb free fall bombs. It normally self-lased but did practice buddy lasing. I know this because I was there.
  19. Use this application https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=160053 and it allows you to launch DCS in VR mode or 2 D mode, your choice. Also are you using Oculus Home?
