Hi ScottH6 i also experienced CTD when changing view (Alt/F1 in my case). After alot of investigations I traced it to an Nvidia driver issue see this thread: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=183419&page=2 Since using the 'Display Driver Uninstaller' programme my visuals have improved and CTD stopped. Not sure if this would help you? Neal

Hi in 95 whilst serving in Bosnia, flying from Gornji Vakuf to Banya Luka in a Chinook; alarms went off pilot popped flares and did some 'ducking and diving' in some tight river gorges. Remember them few minutes for ever! Neal

Hi BIGNEWY recognise the Lynx landing site, been there myself. Neal

Hi i currently run 3 ceiling mounted HD projectors onto a 160 Deg curved screen. I have a cockpit (plywood) sat within the curve, so that i have almost 180 Deg view, the resolution is at 3840 x 1024. I have tried the 3 screen monitor setup but don't like it so much, so stick with the 1 screen. I have a touch screen mounted in the cockpit with Helios and exported viewports. I fly with Hud only view. The question: are there are any advantages / benefits of using track ir? I have never used it before so dont know if it will be beneficial with my setup. Any and all advice/views greatfully received. Neal

CTD solved Hi To date I have tried: a. Uninstalled all Nvidia graphics drivers and reinstalled after a registry clean with CCleaner b. Updated sound card drivers c. Installed all runtime software d. run a sfc/scannow e. run a dxdiag f. Run a DCS repair g. I have run a MEMTEST h. Fresh install of DCS World i. Deleted DCS file in saved games None of the above worked, however...... I went back to an earlier post from BIGNEWY where yhe said it appeared to be a type of display driver issue and although I had done a new install of my Nvidia drivers it was still the same. I did a search on 'nvwgf2umx.dll from my crash log' which is a file from Nvidia drivers, I then searched my HDD and found a whole load of these files which were all left over from every single Nvidia driver update that I had done. I used a free app called 'Display Driver Uninstaller' from 3dGuru website, which cleared out a significant amount of leftover files from Nvidia drivers. I re installed the latest Nvidia driver and problem solved, the CTD had stopped. It does make me wander how many display issues people are having could be down to these 'leftover' bits of code? I cannot now export my cockpit displays to Helios, but thats another problem for another day!! Many thanks for your support on this. Regards Neal

Hi Sgt point taken! I started UMFCD and checked settings, all bindings etc were stated as ok. I started DCS world and UMFCD recognised that DCS had started. DCS ran fine on my warped 3 projector setup, the UMFCD was on my 3rd monitor and said running. I started a mission and opened in normal cockpit view. At this point the cockpit MFCD were both blank. There were no UMFCD exports showing on any of my screens. Nothing crashed and both programmes ran without error messages. My hardware specs are detailed in my signature. I was attempting to use UMFCD with Helios by dragging the exports onto my 3rd monitor. The only mod I am running is Helios and Immersive Display Pro warping software. I turned both these off and ran again with the same result - No exports visible. I will forward a diagnostic package later this evening. Hope that helps? Neal

Hi I tried the new saved games folder still had the CTD; very frustrating! I only need the 3840 x 2104 to export my MFCD etc onto Helios screen. Is there an alternative way of doing this that you are aware of? I am trying to get Ultra MFCD to work but thats proving tricky at the moment as well. It pushing me to get my panels finished which is a small fringe benefit. Thanks allot for continuing help. Regards Neal

No exports Hi Sgt I have tried UMFCD again after a clean install and this time around the settings showed to binding conflicts and i ran DCS. UMFCD showed a green tick and said running, but no exports appeared. I stopped my warping software but still no exports were visible. Can you advise please? Cheers Neal

Hi Bignewy did you have any luck? I did a fresh install of DCS world and I am still getting a CTD but only now when in 3840 x 2104 resolution. When in 3840 x 1024 goes to Hud mode no problem. Its all very strange!! Neal

Hi Sgt I have uninstalled DCS World and reinstalled fresh, and trying UMFCD still get crashes, is the best way forward to post diagnostics? Neal

Crashes Hi Sgt I have posted a couple of posts recently where I was having a CTD when changing to Hud only view Alt/F1. I thought originally it was a problem with the latest update and or my Nvidia drivers! I operate my A10c from a home built cockpit with 3 BenQ HD projectors, warped with Immersive Display pro; using a Triple Head to Go Digital. I also have a touch screen monitor for running Helios with Cap Loz profile, exports for MFCD etc at per PeterP suggestions. All these run at a resolution of 3840x2104; the main display resolution is 3840 x 1024. To date I have tried: a. Uninstalled all Nvidia graphics drivers and reinstalled after a registry clean with CCleaner b. Updated sound card drivers c. Installed all runtime software d. run a sfc/scannow e. run a dxdiag f. Run a DCS repair g. I have run a MEMTEST This evening when I changed the settings in DCS World to 3840x1024 and ran my normal profile I did not have the ctd but my hud only display showed the two mfcd (DCS default). When switched to 3840 x 2104 using Alt/F1 CTD. The conclusion I have reached is that UMFCD changed some setting somewhere which is causing this CTD. Is this possible and if so what could it be? I hope you can assist? Thanks Neal

All these run at a resolution of 3840x2104; the main display resolution is 3840 x 1024. This setup was working very well in 1.5.5 release until last update and now when I switch to Hud only view (Alt/F1) in any mission I get a CTD. To date I have tried: a. Uninstalled all Nvidia graphics drivers and reinstalled after a registry clean with CCleaner b. Updated sound card drivers c. Installed all runtime software d. run a sfc/scannow e. run a dxdiag f. Run a DCS repair g. I have run a MEMTEST After all above I still have the CTD, can anyone help please.

Hi VZ 342 I woulld look at a triple Head to Go splitter. They are a little expensive but work very well. I use a digital version which runs 3 BenQ HD projectors at a resolution of 3860 x 1024. Happy to give you more information if you want? Neal

Hi Bignewy thats great, if its relevant I use a digital triple head to go digital unit, operating with an Immersive display Pro programme for screen warping. It may also be relevant that i tried out Sgt Baker Ultra MFCD on the same day that I started to get CTD, which was also the same day I did the latest update. I will uninstall mt Nvidia driver and reinstall to see if that helps. Can you suggest anything else I can try as a proactive measure? Kind regards Neal

Hi, yes and also rolled back the driver by one. Thank you for your continued help, it is very much appreciated. Neal

Hi Bignewy did you get an opportunity to look at my crash log ? I am still getting CTD when I use Alt/F1. Thanks Neal

Hi Yes just started UltraMFCD right with PeterP exports active through JSGME. I will disable that and retry with with only view on 3 projectors 3640 x 1024 rather than 3640 x 2104. Any idea on the reason for CTD? Cheers Neal

CTD - A10C latest world version Hi this may be completley unrelated but....I have just updated to the latest version of DCS World and installed UMFCD, I receive CTD when in missions. I am running 3 x projectors and 1 x touch screen with Helios on the touch screen with the MFCDs, RWR, CMSP etc exported (PeterP files) via JSGME. I am running a modified standard 3 Screen profile. All was working very well until last update and trying UMFCD but now when I switch to Hud only view Alt/F1 I have a CTD. This happens on all A10C quick missions and Maverick training mission. It started with UMFCD failing and closing and then the exports appear but cannot be clicked. I then reset all in the settings and opens ok, then push Alt/F1 and DCS CTD. I then start DCS World without UMFCD and DCS CTD on missions with Alt/F1 command. It does this in both v 1.5.6 and 2alpha. Is it likely that UMFCD has changed a setting causing CTD or is it likely a version fault? I realise this is sparse information to trace a fault but unsure of what else maybe needed to track down the problem. Many thanks in advance for any help that can be offered! Kind regards Neal

Logs attached Hi I tried a Bin updater.exe cleanup first then ran a mission and same ctd. I have attached the log.zip. Thanks for your help. Neal Logs.zip

thanks John, new knowledge is great.

Hi John what size resisters are you using, i cant quiet make it out in the picture? thanks Neal

Hi thanks for the responses; teach me never to try short cuts! Neal

DCS Bios - LED connected to Nano? Hi can anyone advise on how many LED can be connected to an Arduino Nano? I am looking at how to wire: Nose wheel steering indicator } Gun arm indicator } 1 x Arduino Marker } Canopy light } Landing gear panel - Wheel locked indicators I am looking at 2 LED for each indicator, soldered together so they are wired as one. With the landing gear the LED will all be lit together, so total of 6. I was wondering if there may be a power issue, which may mean that I have to wire them through a Max 7219 chip. Any advice greatly received. Neal
