I always get this. Not usually a blackout as such, but flying relatively straight the sound will be drowned out and a ringing will start. I have noticed a couple of times that I have been hit by enemy fire around the same time, but I'm not sure if that is the cause. I've also noticed that quite often my speed indication will stop working around the same time, which makes me think I have been hit. I would love to know what causes this. Cheers,

As above, if it's after you landed then the damage would be modelled correctly - ie hard landing. Cheers,

I have noticed this when flying the Sabre against the Mig-15 for a while. It is definitely harder to down a Mig with a Sabre than vice versa. I figured it was just the .50 cal (like mosquito bites compared to the Mig's arsenal) and also the impact point of the rounds. It is a totally different story when flying the Mig against the Sabre (as is to be expected with 20mm and 37mm cannons). I couldn't say if it's realistic or not the way it is, but the impact points of the rounds will make a difference if the damage model is correct. I've been hit many times by AI Sabres and kept flying, usually with a few holes in the wings and cockpit, and often losing fuel or hydraulic fluid. I have had to land a few times wheels up due to damage. If you concentrate fire around one critical point when flying the Sabre against the Mig, you will down it quicker than if you are less accurate. Cheers,

I definitely would not want any dumbed down models, as the in depth modelling, systems and flight dynamics simulation is the reason I use and enjoy DCS so much. IMHO there is no point releasing a "half baked" aircraft in to DCS World as this would just be going backwards and against the trend of DCS' evolution.

With the aim of DCS in the past up to now being in depth simulations I would think it has to be quality over quantity. Personally I don't have time to learn the systems, tactics etc of many more aircraft than I already have. Not to say that I wouldn't buy another aircraft, because if it was an aircraft that I was interested in I definitely would, but I also already have enough in my hangar to keep me busy for years. At the moment I am just concentrating on the A-10C, and have been for a month or two, and I am still in the early campaign missions and still learning the systems. To keep it interesting I will occasionally jump in the F-86, the Mig-15 or the Mirage for a quick mission, although I still have so much to learn about these aircraft also. Not to mention the Mig-21, which I was so excited about, but haven't even started yet :doh: Cheers,

I don't mean to shoot you down (pun intended :D), but Rise of Flight already does a pretty good job simulating WW1 aerial warfare. Cheers,

Absolutely, I would love to see the TU-22M also. I saw some spectacular photos of the TU-22M3 recently. What a beast of a plane. http://www.jetphotos.net/photo/8080006 http://www.jetphotos.net/photo/8045476 http://www.jetphotos.net/photo/7975438 http://www.jetphotos.net/photo/7880326 http://www.jetphotos.net/photo/7683498 http://www.jetphotos.net/photo/7226881 Cheers,

I agree with you too ReconXPanzer. There seem to be a lot of bugs. I just had a CTD during a campaign mission last night, although that was the first one I've had in game. Usually I get CTDs when exiting DCS World, which is more an annoyance than anything else. The_Pharoah, I would really like to see an F-111. It's one of my all time favourite aircraft. I have about four different versions of it in FSX, and that's not counting all the freeware models. I suppose the reason I suggested the B1-B and not the F-111 is because I think the B1-B would really suit the Nevada terrain. I'm sure there would be B1-Bs flying around there all the time. That being said, the beauty of simulators is that you fly what you want when you want, so an F-111 would be awesome. Maybe I need to start another thread. ;) Back to the B1-B, that is an awesome weapons load. Our PCs might struggle :D Cheers,

I think a B-1B would be awesome for DCS World. Cheers,

I haven't had one for a few days, but I just had another CTD on exit. It seems to be any time I do anything more than 1 mission. Tonight I just did 2 A-10C training missions in a row and got the CTD. Just about every other time over the past week I have played just one mission and exited the program with no CTD. I will attach my updated logs zip file. Cheers, Logs_SH_010216.zip DCSWorld_CTD_010216.txt

CTD on exit 24/01/16 after recent update. Logs attached. Logs_SH_240116.zip DCSWorld_CTD_240116.txt

After owning the boxed version of A-10C for years and only recently getting the chance to install it, I am now going through the learning process for the A-10C; and it is going to be a challenge. I just finished the Navigation training, and I am going to have to go back and redo the navigation training and start up training probably several times. I also just setup my HOTAS Warthog and rudder pedals which have been sitting in a box for six months, and I have to say it has put a whole new spin on flying in DCS World and FSX and P3D. I used to spend most of my time in FSX, even getting in to scenery design, which took up a lot of free time, but now I am making time for DCS World and really enjoying it. I bought quite a few of the modules during sales last year along with the Mirage recently, and I am enjoying every aircraft immensely. It's really great flying aircraft with such in depth systems, awesome sounds (Mig-15 cannon - whoa) and incredible flight dynamics. In regard to the OP's question, I have only tried the A-10C and not the P-51, but I am enjoying every step of the learning curve of the A-10C, so would highly recommend it. There is plenty to learn. Cheers,

Another crash to desktop. Offline Created (renamed) new profile to replace dead pilot. A-10C Training mission - Navigation Changed control inputs for Mig-15Bis Mig-15Bis mission - Recon intercept CTD Files attached. Logs_SH_210116.zip DCSWorld_CTD_210116.txt

Update. I just had another crash. This time I was online, and DCS World Updater updated on startup again. I played a free flight mission in the Mirage and that was ok. I was also editing controls as I just installed a HOTAS warthog and Saitek rudder pedals today, so I was making a start on configuring controls for these. Only edited a few controls for Mirage 2000 and A-10C. I was just getting towards the end of the A-10C tutorial 1, the overview, and I got the same error message as above and DCS World crashed to desktop. This time the faulting module was "FMBase.dll, version: 1.5.2.48726" I will attach the current logs folder as well as a copy of the Windows error log text. Cheers, Logs.zip DCSWorld_CTD_160116.txt

Last night I played a mission with the Mirage, but this time I made sure I was online, because the ctds seemed to be when I played offline (the last few anyway). When I ran DCS World 1.5, the updater updated itself, although I don't think any changes were made to the program itself. This time there was no ctd when I exited. Could the problem be related to playing missions when offline, or even something to do with creating or editing profiles when offline?

Sure thing, I will attach it now. I haven't changed anything in a while, so whatever was written from the past crashes should still be there. I'm not actually sure now if has happened every time, I may have played some Mirage 2000 missions a few times without the crash occurring, but it has happened a few times now. Cheers, Logs.zip

Hi, I think every time I have played a mission over the past week or so and exited I get a ctd error (DCS World has stopped working..........). Everything seemed ok before this, so I'm not sure if a recent update is to blame. The faulting application and module is DCS.exe. I just installed V2 alpha on the 11th January, but I'm pretty sure this problem started before then, around a week or so ago. I mentioned it in another recent post. I tried just loading up the game and exiting, and there was no problem, it only seems to be after playing any mission. Here are the two Windows error logs from tonight.

Hi, I have noticed a definite decrease in performance since installing the release version of V1.5, via the updater from V1.2, compared to the beta version of DCS World V1.5. I haven't been measuring FPS or anything, but the game was very smooth using the beta V1.5 version and now there are a lot of stutters. I've never really noticed stutters in any previous version of DCS World. I have been playing the Mig-15 Airfield defence mission during the changeover period, and this is where I have really noticed the difference. Also the visuals in that mission seemed better in the beta V1.5. I had a really amazing flare/glare effect from the sun, and now in the release version I can stare straight at the sun because it just looks like a big white dot, and not very bright. The lighting just seemed heaps better in the beta version. This may be due to a setting in my menu, I'm not sure. I'm not sure what has changed, but I much preferred playing the beta version. I have also noticed the control settings will not detect my joystick while trying to change axis controls or buttons. I am using a Logitech 3d pro joystick. I do have a Thrustmaster warthog, but am yet to set that up (soon:)). I can use the drop down menu, and the controls work in game, but for some reason it is not picking up my joystick controls in the setup process. One more thing was that today after playing the Mig-15 Airfield defence mission, and then the SU-25T cannon and rocket practice mission, DCS World crashed when I pressed exit to exit the game from the main menu. I think this is the first time this has happened. Cheers,

Sure, here they are: I had a quick browse and I'm not sure if everything is included since the first install. I had to manually install Flaming Cliffs 3 and Mig-15bis with the command line, and I didn't see any mention of those. The A-10C install and the FC3 video install are in the logs, and they were after the manual install of FC3 and Mig-15bis. Cheers, autoupdate_log.txt autoupdate_log_old.txt Logs.zip

Hi, I have run an update; it did that automatically when I installed the version above. For some strange reason though DCS World 1.5 Beta is still showing the version above in control panel (1.5.0.45208), but DCS World itself said that I am updated to the latest version, which was 1.5.2.something. It's strange because it showed 1.5.2.something in control panel previously. Anyway, I have installed and activated all of my modules already (two or three had to be installed manually with the command line), but that's not the issue. I was just wondering about the activations if I start over with a fresh install. Cheers, Scott

Hi, I have noticed a few little problems with my DCS V1.5 installation (which have been reported in different sections) and I am considering uninstalling the current version (DCS_World_OpenBeta_1.5.0.45208.37-11) and downloading and installing the latest iteration. Will my activations remain on my system, or will I have to use up another activation for each module. They are limited so I'm hoping I don't have to re-activate. Cheers,

Hi. I installed DCS World 1.5 beta (DCS_World_OpenBeta_1.5.0.45208.37-11). Just a small bug I have encountered while using the Mig-15bis module (I'm not sure if it affects other modules yet) is that the keyboard command for the communications menu does not work. It was working fine in V1.2, and I have tried clearing and adding the key again, and also adding a different key for the command, but the communications menu will not show. The key command for individual wingman commands seem to be working, eg "Left Win key and Y" for rejoin works fine. Cheers,

Thanks for the replies. I suppose I will try all of these suggestions. I think I have tried to log back in but the post was gone. I have done what you mentioned in the past dabomb, just sometimes I forget to do it. Just earlier today it happend to me, I wrote a very detailed reply and hit post, and as I was hitting the button I just thought "oh no!", it's going to happen again. I probably haven't used the remember me checkbox, I usually don't on any many websites. I will try that out too I will copy this reply now, just in case :) edit: It happened again. I tried what you said JimTM, and it did work after all. Thanks again for the responses. Cheers,

Hi, I'm not sure if there is an option to change this somewhere, but I keep typing out detailed answers to posts, only to have all of the text disappear and a box pop up when I hit "post reply". The box says something like you are not logged in, ie my session has timed out, even though I have been logged in for around ten minutes or less. This has happened several times now, and it's frustrating to have a large post just disappear. Cheers, Scott

Hi. There is definitely a problem with the module manager in V1.5. There is a known workaround, but you need to use the command line. See the following two links for more information: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=156005 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 Just follow the instructions in the second link to install the module manually using the Windows command line function. You just then enter the serial number when DCS World next starts. Post back if you have any issues. Cheers,
