When it stops working I would check that your anti-virus isn't quarantining a file to two. It might get replaced by a repair and then get caught again after some time.

Check the user files section. Some of the older ones are likely broken by updates, but there are quite a number of good F-18 (and other aircraft) campaigns to be found there.

F10 menu - ATC airfield and wingman no response
rob10 replied to scommander2's topic in General Bugs
You both really should posts tracks of what you're seeing because it does not seem to be a common issue. The 1st thing to check is that you are using the proper keybind. The COMMUNICATION menu keybind will bring up the menu but only works to transmit if you're on the ground. In the air you need to use (F-18 example): COMM Switch - COMM 1 or COMM Switch - COMM 2. Also check that you have the correct radio frequency tuned in your radio. -
Hiding exported displays in the virtual cockpit
rob10 replied to Havner's topic in Multi-Display Support
That's one they've said in past that there is no obvious solution for so even though it's a long term issue there likely isn't a fix coming soon. I can't remember the details of the why, but it's a big fix (if they can even figure out a way to do it) and while I'm one of those affected, I get that it realistically only affects a small portion of users so spending the time required to fix it likely isn't high priority. -
You can check if you're on MT at the bottom right of the main menu screen. It will say Multi-thread preview before the version #. Easiest way to make sure is to set a shortcut to launch the DCS.exe from the BIN-MT folder. If you're in MT and seeing the issue I would post in the thread referenced above for your best chance of getting an answer.

The map does not show up in the mission editor.

What version of DCS do you have installed? Not having a recent enough version installed is typically what causes this issue.

Fresh install - F18C & lost content !
rob10 replied to Phantom_Mark's topic in Payment and Activation
Any chance you purchased it in Steam and had changed it to be available in stand alone? That could explain why you were having problems before too (sometimes the linking get messed up and needs to be redone). -
How do I find out my STN - station number, in the 18?
rob10 replied to Im_TheSaint's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
And realize that it will always be 5 digit, so technically it's 00201 (not 201). -
Likely not as easy to do with a laptop as a desktop, but just blowing the dust off everything may also help improve your cooling since dust is a surprisingly good insulator.

You'll have to play around and see if they're the right ones, but try "Cockpit Camera Move Back" and "Cockpit Camera Move Forward" bindings in the F-18.

I'm in the camp of whichever you learn first will make the other hard to learn (because they are so different that you have to reprogram your brain going from one to the other). As for the above point, in the F-18, slew your targeting pod over the target, TDC depress, drop bomb. I'd call that pretty simple . If you want to record the point simply press the MK button.

It might look like it's restarting from scratch because it starts over a ZERO downloaded and ZERO % but if you look at the total to download it should be smaller than the previous time you've ran it. Confusing if you don't know this because it definitely does look like it's starting over from scratch.

This may well be something you know already, but in case you don't, the runway number will be roughly the heading of the runway. That may not help at major airports that may have more then one runway in a similar direction, but since it's mostly smaller airports usually with only one runway that don't have numbers painted on them you can likely use heading to figure out where you need to go.

It's a reported bug.

To rule out the low hanging fruit: if you're using a mouse with a high polling rate (i.e. 1,000) turn it down to 500.

If you install DCS from clean then it will set up the MT shortcuts by default. If you use the new launcher it should take you to MT. If you use the updater exe it should take you to MT. If you have an existing install and you're not running the updater on startup (i.e. you're going directly into DCS) you'll need to make sure your shortcuts are set to MT rather than ST. If in doubt just check that it says Multi-Thread preview on the main screen before the version number.
-
No native way to do it. You'll have to use some sort of scripting (i.e. AutoHotKey) to press the appropriate sequences of buttons to set them up as as marked tabs

If I'm reading that correctly, you have 8GB physical RAM? Even with a 32 GB pagefile that's likely your problem point. The last update seems to require more memory. Technically 16 GB is mininum (according to ED requirements) but IMO I think it's getting to needing 32 GB minimum. EDIT: agree with the next poster that 64 GB RAM is definitely preferable.

Track file not showing Player aircraft after UPDATE! Any Fixes??
rob10 replied to ReApEr_88's topic in General Bugs
You'll probably have to roll back to the version you used to create the trackfile to be able to see it properly. -
Glad to hear that you got it working again. In answer to your question, all turning Power Saving off does is means that the computer won't turn off power to the USB if it thinks nothing is using it (i.e. drawing power). Power saving can cause problems because sometimes the computer does a poor job of knowing when something is using it or not and turns if off even when it's in use.
