From Hollo Pointe on Win10, 'DCS Stopped Working' upon Exit, after 4-5 days running various missions. WC

Stick a '-- ' in front of any lines you want to comment out, or delete them. Use Notepad++. In my experience, you don't need both an IP and UID. WC

v1.5.2, Hollo Pointe is now running Windows 10. CTD \Logs content after Exit from server session lasting a couple days. WC

Yep, 16 GB,,, get the fastest you can afford. WC

It does both, by IP or UID. I like this feature. I do add a comment to each entry inside of the quotes with the Player Name, with the date and reason why banned and an index number in the IP section. Then I associate the UID section by the index number. A couple of my UID entries have come up under the same IP. WC

Make a zone at the airbase with radius 2000. Make an event with Conditions: Unit Dead (AI Pilot Name) Or Unit In Zone (AI Pilot Name in airbase zone) (does this work in v1.5?) with Action: Group Activate (New AI plane group that has Late Start checked). WC

Yes ^^^ Put a FARP at the airbase and put the helicopter start and end (if you want) waypoints on the FARP. WC

+1 And the Options Controls window. And the various windows in the ME. Like in Windows. :-) WC

Save the mission under a new name every once in a while so you can go back to an older version in case of problems. Look at the place where the missions are being saved to, you might find that it got saved someplace weird. WC

v1.5 F-15C's Missing AIM-120Cs FYI -- Did not see this reported... F-15C missions that included AIM-120Cs do not have them on the a/c in v1.5. I'm having to make new loadouts. WC

That's a lot of questions in one post :-) Check out my SITE and download the Back Of The Hand mission, to see how it handles AI civ a/c shoot downs. Look on the Mission Resources page for 'WCs Flags 20151231.txt". Enjoy! WC

Not possible AFAIK. With Combined Arms control you can shoot... WC

My gear is ordered and will be in by week's end. Chief said that about the 40" 4K, and he said it some time ago as well. I was going to go 40" too, but the text size is a big concern here. I settled on the curved 48" because I'm hoping to get a bit more distance to the center -- the left side will be up next to a curtained window. Last night I was flying the A-10C above heavy clouds and the HUD text was really hard to see; I'll let you know next w/e or so with a comparison report... I did not get a sound bar since I have a good working Logitech Z-5500 system. I plan to connect it to the TV optical out since the new box does not have a sound card. WC

Well, I just bought the same TV/monitor -- Samsung UN48JU7500 48" Class Curved 4K Thanks, StrongHarm, for the OP. What you said, "The reason I chose the 48" over the 40 or 55 is that this size/resolution combo makes the icon and text on the 48"/4k the same size they'd be on a 27/1080." <-- This helped me make the decision. I have the space to put the monitor at 45-50", I'm sitting into a corner and running a 30" at 1900x1200 at about 32" now. Got two GTX 980Tis to run it. This is going to be a nice machine, I almost bought last April so it has been a while in coming. WC

v1.5.2 The command -admin restart -- shows a 'admin is restarting the mission' message but the mission does not. This ^^^ is broken -admin load does list and enumerate the missions in the DCS\Missions folder. -load # does work WC

v1.5.2 User Interface Controls, Position user controls together together instead of spread about in corners. Example: Multiplayer window, Server List The control row on the bottom has Exit, New Server and Join. To Refresh, that icon is upper right. Move the Refresh and Connect By IP buttons down with the rest of the controls. As monitors get bigger the distance between buttons requires more mouse movement and eye traversing across the screen. Going between the Join and Refresh buttons could be a tiny mouse movement. Have a row at the bottom of each screen for the buttons, like a Task Bar. WC

v1.5 I'm getting a CTD whenever exiting DCS on the Hollo Pointe server. Attached is the \Logs content. WC

Hi Razor, I used Ian's Witchcraft in v1.2, THIS looks like his solution for v1.5 although I haven't tried it yet. WC

Pikey, When I update a mission the file name changes to indicate the DCS version and the mission version. Because the name changes, any action of Load Mission also must be updated to the new file name. If one forgets to do this then the server will hang up. If there is an optional check box to restart then the event trigger will not need to be updated every time the file name changes. WC

Guys, this is about a multiplayer mission ending by it's rules and restarting through a triggered event. It applies to a server running missions that need to be restarted once won or lost or timeout. WC

StrongHarm, how far away is your monitor from your eyes? Did you try putting the 4K TV in game mode,,, just curious - saw that mentioned in another thread? Can a TV soundbar be used instead of computer speakers, using the optical connection between the TV and soundbar? Anybody know? TIA WC

Hi Cheyenne, Look HERE. WC

v1.5 Release Mission Editor Load Mission Action, add option to restart In the Mission Editor, for an event with an Action of Load Mission, provide an option to either load a mission by filename (this is the current action) or instead check a box to "Load (restart) Current Mission". PLEASE do this :geek: WC

v1.5 Release When running the server, currently a mission must be chosen from the Mission List. Provide an option check box to either use the Mission List or use the \Missions folder content. I would prefer to see the folder content instead of creating and maintaining a full missions list, for instance, whenever I move an updated mission into the \Missions folder it drops from the Mission List. Show the name of the Mission List at the top of the list's box. WC
