I haven't had a chance to try your track and see about the crash, but what you're describing here is working as intended (unfortunately) (except the crash part). You have to change role out of your aircraft and into the air boss slot if you actually want to do anything more than spectate from the air boss position

This reply from above is all you need to know. It really is as simple as just moving it.

That's a good indicator you don't have enough free space on your drive for the update to unpack before installing. Likely need 200+ GB free for install. Won't take that much more after it's finished installing, but you temporarily have a bunch of duplicate files during the install. In past this was also a good indicator that your anti-virus is blocking things being moved/changed.

Yes.

Ahh, that works on standalone. No idea how to do that on Steam (or if it's even possible).

There hasn't been a limited "number of activation's" for modules for a number of years now. You need to log on and authorize, but that's it.

You realize that it gives you the option to NOT update right? I assume you're concerned with having to log on to reauthorize after 3 days, but all you need to do is use a shortcut direct to the dcs.exe (rather than the updater_dcs.exe or something like that) and it will do the authorization and not attempt to update at all.

You also need to ALIGN your JHMCS if you haven't done that. Wont be a massive error, but it won't be right on if you don't.

Interesting. I don't land on land very often but occasionally I have had it where NWS didn't immediately activate and that's likely why. Not deliberately flaring, but maybe getting the same effect inadvertently. Thanks!

I assume you mean the new launcher? You should be able to turn it back on in one of the options screens - MISC tab "Launcher on start" checkbox. You don't need the launcher if your shortcut points to DCS_updater.exe (it will run the updater). The HUGE update was likely due to massive changes in Kola and Syria maps rather than not having updated recently. Updates are generally cumulative so if you miss one it won't have much impact on the size of the one after (except in a case like the last one that was huge due to maps).

Just as a data point, I'm using a Delan clip with TIR camera and I'm not seeing issues. Not sure what camera you're using but I have seen reports that the newest TIR software is causing some people issues.

From your log I see a bunch of Curl errors. Check this thread out. It's also not completely clear from your post what your problem is: you can't install DCS or you're having issues with moving your saved games stuff and controls or both?

There are currently /bin and /mt-bin folders, but they are duplicated for now so peoples shortcuts don't get broken when /mt-bin gets removed. Sounds like that will happen in the next update or two. So there really is no ST to remove. In theory you could likely remove /mt-bin, but it's not that big so I'm not sure it would be worth it in case it might mess with something.

You'll likely need to do a repair WHILE it's stopped and/or excluded from your antivirus. It may have quarantined files and it won't release them just by stopping it.

Honestly, Kapersky is usually in the #1 or #2 spot for regularly causing issues with DCS (and pretty much every other game). I'd still say it's likely your problem.

This shouldn't help, but there has been a couple of people it seemed to have, but change your shortcut to point to D:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS.exe (remove the "-mt" after the "bin") and see if that helps. In theory it should be launching the same thing, but at least one other report this fixed it for them and one other error with someone using the "bin-mt" folder in the shortcut

When you're getting that many "can't move" errors you probably want to start by looking at your Anti-virus.

Pretty sure that's a typo and RADIO should be RADAR based on the F-16 log

Totally agree that it will be great for logistics (that's where I'd be at), but I'm betting more will use it for combat. But more likely they have people working on the logisitcs side BUT it's different people than the ones working on the ai gunners/pilot models (who obviously are done their thing) so not having done that would likely not have gotten better logistics any time sooner.

Your easiest solution is to add a 1 or 2 deadzone in the vertical axis tuning for the TDC. Also check that you don't have a double bind that's giving you wanted input.

That looks like you might have problem with your new drive. I had an intermittent CTD that slowly became a consistent one that turned out to be a bad sector on the drive where Windows was trying to write stuff. If you're getting a full CTD that's more likely hardware than DCS most of the time.

I'm not a hardware guy, but pretty sure you're pretty limited by an old CPU. ED has added a lot of stuff since 2.7 and yes that increased the computing power required to run it well in 2.9. So your chances of getting 2.7 performance on your hardware with 2.9 are likely pretty small.

Since your problem appears to have nothing to do with the problem mentioned, you should start your own thread and you're more likely to get relevant help. 1st thing to check is if your antivirus has quarantined some DCS files. Then post a log if it's creating one. Right now your video doesn't really show anything so it's completely a guessing game. Very difficult to tell anything from the video other than you're attempting to run DCS. Please expand on exactly what's happening.

Discussed at length here: Personally, since it triggers a MASTER CAUTION if you try to take off with flaps in AUTO I tend to believe it's correct behaviour. There are lots of reasons why the behaviour might seem illogical, but there could well be other consequences of a fix for this that means it's easier to have a Caution and checklist item to set them to 1/2. I also have no idea of IRL on this, so this is strictly my feeling.

Yep, what @Viral-51st-Vfw said, almost for sure you had flaps in AUTO (rather than 1/2 or full) on takeoff. You become a rocketship if that's the case and you won't be able to use trim or stick to level it UNTIL you flip it to 1/2 (or full) then back to auto. Once you do that it will start to behave itself again. But just make sure you follow a checklist and set them properly (and pay attention to the CK FLAPS caution you'll get when you push throttle ahead with weight on wheels and flaps in auto).
