Yup. Really too intense and needs to be reduced. On the Malta missions I've been building and posting, I keep the canopy open (which is historically accurate) and the vision improvement is amazing.

Any progress on fixing this?

Okay! I figured out (trial and error). I'm flying in Multicore and Multicore CANNOT be updated. So, I went to single core and updated and when I tried MultiCore Normandy 2 was there. So, my solution: update your single core version and MultiCore will update automatically. Maybe everyone but me already knew this but I'm back in the Normand 2 game! Oh, and Ugra, it looks terrific! Thank you!!!

So, I've purchased Normandy 2. The store shows I've purchased it. I'm on Open Beta. I've got the latest update. I'm using the Multi-Thread version. Still not showing up in the game....What am I missing?

As I suspected, the list of skins I kept getting instead of what I had installed in either Core or Saved Games was buried in a Liveries folder that wasn't where it belonged. I hadn't created it, it contained two skins that never have been available either from DCS or User Files (but they worked just fine). How they came to exist, I probably will never know. I just kept looking for an an extra Liveries Folder. As soon as I deleted that folder, the sim started using the Mosquito skins I had placed in Saved Games. Can't explain it. But most of my computer skills are trial and error. Thank you, sir!

Found it. Fixed it. Thanks again to all who helped. Sometimes being a little OCD pays off! HotTom (tttiger)

Sri to be taking so long, Rudel. I can't seem to make screenshots work. Not something I ever have use for....Stay Tuned....

My problem seems to be that I can't get rid of the list that appears in both Mission Editor and the Rearm menus (the one that includes that odd "Met Flight" skin). When I add new skins in either Core Mods or Users, the sim defaults to that list and doesn't add the new ones. I thought I had tracked it down by doing a search for "Met Flight" which the Windows search engine found in Saved games. The entire default list was there in a folder labeled MosquitoFBVI which was inside another folder also called Mosquito FB VI. So I deleted both folders and placed the skins back in Core Mods. Cranked up the sim and the default list still appeared. Where as it being generated, from which folder? I can fly the sim just fine with those skins but I really would like to use the skins I have chosen because they fit with historicalmissions I have written. I have wasted several days chasing this Goblin. So far, I can't find it. Thanks to both you and Art for trying to help. Being stubborn (and a bit OCD), I will keep looking for the default list folder. It must be somewhere....

WinZip, I've used it forever. never a problem. I tried to load using JGSME. Same list as in "Mission Editor." I also tried using "Rearm" while on the runway. Same list. Is there any way to figure out what folder that list is coming from? I can't figure it out.

Several: Either of the two Branff skins (Red prop spinner and Yellow Prop pinner), reflected's 418 RCAF skin (Moonbeam McSwine). The "mystery" skin to title: RAF, ML897. Met Flight, late 1943 It never downloaded that, it doesn't appear in User Files but it shows up in my skins menu in Mission Editor. Strange! Nice skin but in reality a glass-nosed econ version I probably never will use.

Rudel! Aha! I thought: Rudel is going to save my Virtual Life again! But, no. Tried that, even created new folders to place the skins in...but... When I cranked up the game I got the same limited list I've been getting. And I don't know where those files are stored. A mystery! Thanks for your help, my friend!

@razor+r: Where do I select skin country? They all are RAF skins and RAF missions so should be proper. @saburo_cz: I checked. They are all right where you said they should be. I've been flying DCS for 12 years and added many skins or many aircraft. Never had this problem before. Puzzling. Maybe someone who has the Mosquito Mod can download a few of the newer Mossie skins, place them in Core Mods and see if they show up when they download a mission and run it in Mission Editor. Do the skins you just added show up on the skins menu? Mine don't.

Downloaded several new Mossie skins from User Files. Tried them in Core Mods but they don't appear as available in the Mission Editor. Tried placing them in Mods/aircraft/mosquito/liveries. Still don't show up. Curiously, an RAF weather recon skin that I've never seen anywhere before is in the list of skins that does appear. What am I doing wrong or is there a bug?

+1 for Fallon

Thank you, sir!

Thank you, Sunts! As you said, it works fine on the Caucuses Map, but... When I tried a similar mission on the South Atlantic (Falklands) map, it went into its "Dive on the Target but Don't Pull the Trigger" routine. Maybe this is a problem peculiar to the Third Party map? Mossie RP3 South Atlantic test.miz

I know it was said in one of the recent patch release notes that this was fixed. It wasn't. It's still broken. As stated above the AI Mossies, even when programmed (well before the aircraft were near their targets) to attack specific ships with rockets, make repeated passes but don't fire. Their rockets are still hanging from their wings. This is true even when Enroute Task Search Then Engage with Rockets is used as Northstar suggested above. Impossible to make Banff Strike Wing missions in which 25-pound RP3 rockets firing on ships were the primary Mossie weapon. Please fix this. ASAP.

It's a great idea! Fumbling with the Mouse to flip open safety covers is hardly realistic. And I don't have nearly enough HOTAS switches to cover them. Big +1 on this!

Thanks, Guys! Renaming didn't help but I kept getting a message along with "Authorization Failed" that two mods were being disabled (A-4E and OV-10) so I searched for them and found copies had been installed in the main DCS folder instead of User Files (don't know how that happened). Deleted them and reinstalled in Saved Games (where they belonged) and Voila! Back in business! Thank you both! HotTom (tttiger)

OK. I'll try that. Thanks!

I did a complete reinstall of the stable version. Every time I open DCS, I get "Authorization Failed" notice. Yeah, I can fly off line (my usual) but why does it fail? I checked my time and date and time zone on my computer and all are accurate. I did a "Repair." Authorization still fails. Help. Please. HotTom (tttiger)

When I downloaded the latest Open Beta update, the program told me tthere were corruption problems and to run Disk Scan. Disk Scan identified the problems but didn't correct them. What should I do to get a clean download? Thanks! HotTom (tttiger)

What appears to have happened with WWII players is they are divided between Multiplayer and Single Player (or Gamers vs Simmers), a divide found in many sims.

No. The Banff Strike Wing flew all FBVIs. Spend more time on history and less time on fantasy and you'll know this stuff.
