I feel your pain man but i have had the google drive files on my system for 6 days and having scanned them with Zone Alarm Pro they are clean as a whistle. As far as i'm aware a LOT of guys have downloaded them up to now and i haven't seen a single post either here or anywhere else saying they've had any virus or other integrity problems with them. After a couple of minor mistakes from not reading the instructions carefully that Reddit fix solved my v63 VR crash issue and its running perfectly right now. But its everyone's choice i guess. Sadly Steam and Virtual Desktop have always been terrible for me and i will never choose them over Link Cable if i have that option. Hope you get fixed up soon.

Some guy commented this morning on one of my posts on a DCS Facebook group saying that the well-known (now) Reddit VR Splash crash fix wasn't working any more. Well, i'm in DCS VR right now with zero issues on Oculus Link v62 (installed the fix yesterday) so for me at least it is still playable with exact same settings and performance as prior to the bug showing up on my PC. Fully understand that many have tried this fix and it hasn't worked, but maybe if you haven't its worth a few minutes to give it a go? Hope those that are still struggling find a fix as soon as possible. https://www.reddit.com/r/dcsworld/comments/1bnspf6/recent_oculus_vr_bug_fix/ If you try or re-try the Reddit fix above and still have issues, please be sure to read ALL the comments below the Reddit OP's initial instructions. It didn't work for me initially but i soon (after like an hour!!!) realised i had made 2 separate mistakes in following the OP instructions and also the later comments by others who had issues with the fix. Doh!! For instance back up your entire v63 Program Files\Oculus folder BEFORE you copy any of DookieShoes files over as a precaution. You will need the v63 "app.asar" file from the v63 Program Files > Oculus > Support > oculus-client > resources folder AFTER you copy the Reddit files over. Also be aware that when you unzip Dookie's archives they can create double folders (a folder within the unzipped folder with the exact same name.) Make sure you copy the FILES directly into the v63 folders and overwrite or replace etc. I understand that despite all the above it still might not work for some unlucky folks but worth a try maybe? Hope this helps, best of luck.

Sadly none of the above worked for me. I will now wait for the DCS update/Fix. Wasted enough of my life on this already!

This looks promising? Pardon my ignorance but i assume this still needs a version (v63) or otherwise installed on my system to work? Thanks.

No mate, sorry it went a few months back.

Hey guys, Just installed today and all working ok other than the little green crosshair dot won't go away even after closing The Way app? Its still perched smack dab in the middle of my DCS screen? Using the Toggle Crosshair hotkey (CTL-ALT-X) i set up does nothing either? Any ideas? Thanks.

Hi there, Thanks very much indeed for the very detailed response above. I've only just had a chance to check back and you answered my query perfectly. Thanks for taking the time and yeah the Strike Eagle's Nav logic is pretty complex to say the least.

Thanks very much for the help, i got it all working perfectly after reading your message. The one problem i do have though, and i'm sure its my own doing is that after i created a route with the app with about 7 steerpoints and a target at the end. I loaded the route into the UFC with no issues and took off to follow it and try out. The issue was that the route i created showed up fine on the TSD in the F-15E but it wasn't selected by default and the steerpoints didn't show up on the HUD. Also the only route i was able to select on Menu 1 on UFC was route 2A, which seemed to have no waypoints in it? There was no other route selectable and i had to follow the new route i created purely by following it on the TSD not the usual waypoint circles you see in the HUD as you progress along your chosen route. I doubt this is anything to do with the app, its just something i'm not doing in the UFC or elsewhere prior to taking off etc. Any advice welcome. Thanks.

Hi, I just installed Scratchpad and the QWERTY keyboard mod but when i open Scratchpad in VR or 2D it doesn't have the "+L/L" button to enable clicking on F10 Map to create new waypoints in the Scratchpad for upload to UFC etc? I've re-started DCs but still same problem. What am i missing or doing wrong? Thanks, this really is a GREAT couple of mods!! Much appreciated.

Same here as of last night. Had come back to the Apache after about a year away and was like...WTF?? Oh well fingers crossed for a fix soon.

Looks like the whingeing worked guys! See my final post in above thread. PRE-order now available for all F-15EX products less than 24 hours from my original post! You're welcome

UPDATE! Just logged into WinWing Store and all the aforementioned items can now be pre-ordered. Just pre-ordered the F-15EX Throttle Grip.

Pretty sure whinges make up at least 50% of all content on all forums everywhere, forever! Anyway, i like whingeing!!

To the OP. No it isn't!!

Why is it no longer possible to pre-order items from the Winwing online store? In this post it claims this is/was possible: I have been trying to purchase the new F-15EX Throttle Grip and there is no way i can currently do this with the current store set up. I missed the first batch and last night missed the second as i had no idea it was even happening. Firstly, there is never any warning that a re-stock will be happening or when it will be? Then, when a re-stock happens it goes live at 03:00AM in the morning here in Europe!!!! And probably a similar time in a lot of other places. So do we have to stay up half the night on some unknown date just to buy an item? If you're lucky enough to click the mouse fast enough to get one when the re-stock does go live? Please bring back the Pre-order option in the original post you made about it in March 2022? Thank you. I am trying to give you my money!

Update: Lowering Clouds setting from Ultra to Standard pretty much eradicated 95% of stuttering. Also lowering the volume of clouds in a mission also had a very positive effect.

Having enabled AVX2 yesterday to stop constant CTD's i have just tried VR for first time and there is moderate stuttering now where there was none before. No changes to working VR settings from before, will test with other aircraft and post results/findings. I seem to recall that disabling AVX2 a while back had helped eradicate massive stuttering i was experiencing in VR about 2-3 months ago. I wonder if this is going to be a trade-off type situation? Hopefully not. Maybe changing a few VR graphic settings will fix it.

Fair point, it has always made me nervous too, but so far so good i've never had an experience like yours in 31 years of owning a PC. Like you i never do it without a damn good reason, thankfully the DCS Strike Eagle is a damn good reason!

To the guys above who might still be suffering from this bug, i fixed it thanks to a couple of posts on another thread about the same issue. Not saying this will definitely fix it for you but try this: Boot into your PC BIOS and do a search for AVX or AVX2 and when/if you find it (depending on age and model of your motherboard) enable it or set to Auto if that option exists. Mine had AVX2 and had options to Enable/Auto/Disable. I set mine to Enabled. Re-boot and you should be golden if your mobo supports AVX/AVX2? I also noticed that my BIOS was one version out of date, so updated it of course! Have had ZERO issues with the Strike Eagle on multiple missions/terrains etc. since. Runs really well. Hope this solves it for you guys too, best of luck. Here's link to the other thread where i found this info:

Indeed I am! Enabled AVX2 in BIOS and the problem was solved instantly. Also noticed that BIOS needed updating as well.

So.... i have just about the most up to date, advanced and powerful CPU available (from Intel) i9-13900K? And i can't run one specific 2023-released DCS Module unless i downgrade to a older/different CPU just for the sake of this one module? Where specifically was the requirement for AVX listed below please? Or was this just mentioned in some post in a random forum thread? Minimum system requirements (LOW graphics settings): OS 64-bit Windows 10; DirectX11; CPU: Intel Core i3 at 2.8 GHz or AMD FX; RAM: 8 GB (16 GB for heavy missions); Free hard disk space: 60 GB; Discrete video card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 / AMD R9 280X or better; requires internet activation. Recommended system requirements (HIGH graphics settings): OS 64-bit Windows 10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i5+ at 3+ GHz or AMD FX / Ryzen; RAM: 16 GB (32 GB for heavy missions); Free hard disk space: 120 GB on Solid State Drive (SSD); Discrete video card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 / AMD Radeon RX VEGA 56 with 8GB VRAM or better; Joystick; requires internet activation. Recommended VR systems requirements (VR graphics settings): OS 64-bit Windows 10; DirectX11; CPU: Core i5+ at 3+ GHz or AMD FX / Ryzen; RAM: 16 GB (32 GB for heavy missions); Free hard disk space: 120 GB on Solid State Drive (SSD); Discrete video card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1080 / AMD Radeon RX VEGA 64 or better; Joystick; requires internet activation.

I've been away all weekend guys, will start seriously trying to figure this out from tomorrow evening after work. Please let me know if any of you find a possible fix? Thanks v much.

Hi, I don't use Windows Defender, i use Zone Alarm Extreme Security. Tried disabling that, still crashes. Also just purchased Steam version of the module and exactly the same problem, CTD's at the Spawn Objects stage of any/every mission i try on the module. All other modules working. This is the first module i have ever owned in DCS World that has not worked from installation? I have 95% of the modules and all terrains. Also tried running offline as well but same problem. Deleted fxo and metashaders2 for both ED and Steam versions, same result. Crashes every time. So, for the outlay of around £110 i have..... nothing really! dcs.log Is it possible to get refunds from ED?

Also done Clean Up and Repair and still crashes to desktop EVERY single time!! WTF?? Remind me how long we waited for this.....
