I don't have the Openbata Server app installed since have I never yet hosted.

I have a somewhat related issue but not the same. I've made a kneeboard with only the information that I want to see... basically the channels for radio, rsbn and arc along with an image of my HOTAS button mapping. I've placed it in C:\Users\Rick\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Kneeboard\MiG-21Bis. When I open the kneeboard, I DO see the pages that I want but as I keep scrolling I see all of the default pages... airport charts, etc. What do I need to do to make the game see only the pages in my custom kneeboard? It seems like there are Kneeboard folders / files all over the place... In C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\MiG-21BIS\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD, (and note that this folder has the Bis as all uppercase), C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\MIG-21bis\Cockpit\KNEEBOARD, ... etc. Not at all intuitive. I also have the Kneeboard Builder app and tried saving through it but I still see the default crap. Is there a lua that I need to edit?

Same for me. Only the 2nd mission crash. I'm not going to make any changes until the Devs have a fix. BTW, the solution posted WAAY back in this thread to exit the mission and / or mission editor, opening settings then hit "OK" seems to work for me almost every time. I have not run any Windows compatibility modes or any of the other temporary fixes other than emptying the FXO folder in Saved Games regularly.

Yep, that was it... Thanks!

Whenever I start a mission (no matter what type... from ME, Quick, single, campaign) with engine running or in flight, when I press fly and spawn in the controls are hard over to the left. Not so big a deal when airspawn but very problematic when starting on ground in a helicopter. I have to be really quick on collective and cyclic to prevent a rotor strike. How can I fix?

This does seem to work with ME missions but what about plain vanilla missions / quick missions? I still get the 2nd mission crash (but closing 1st mission, clicking settings then "OK" does seem to work). It's an annoying bug but not worthy of seppuku IMHO. A garlic necklace doesn't seem like a bad idea though.

Thanks, I just did updates of Windows and any drivers that windows detected.

Hi Flappie Here are the two most recent from yesterday as well as one from before I reinstalled LotAtc and OvGME. dcs.log-20210514-032514.zip dcs.log-20210513-235356.zip dcs.log-20210511-213055.zip

Nope... got a second mission crash after appx 15 mission loads and 1 computer restarts (I shut it down each night). Guess that wasn't it. I'm not going to go the Win 8 route. I'll wait for a fix from the Devs.

Well, I think I've found my issue but I don't think it may be helpful for everyone else... I had recently installed a second SSD in order to relieve my C drive which was getting full. I moved LotAtc and OvGME to the new drive. Unfortunately, there were remnants in DCS still looking for those programs. I removed and did a new install of both of those programs completely into the new SSD drive. I know that many of you have said that you have removed any mods that you have. Maybe make sure that ANY programs associated with DCS like those mentioned above as well as others such as SRS, Kneeboard Builder, etc. are removed, check for crash and reinstall each one at a time checking for crash each time. Numerous reload of missions now have no crashes. Fingers crossed. EDIT: I just saw captain_dalan's post above where he had removed pretty much everything but it crashed at 8th time. It's late for me but I'll check again tomorrow. Again... fingers crossed. It was strange that my crashes were exactly as noted in this thread... immediately upon loading a second mission.

Sorry if I sounded accusatory. I read your post as possibly saying that the issue was a figment of our collected imagination. I completely agree that it is probably a vexing problem for the Devs to find the cause of it and I remain confident that they will eventually find the culprit. I am certainly not "demanding" an immediate fix.

Even so... it isn't an imagined problem as I can attest and there are numerous others with the identical issue. Not every bug is found in Beta test as you should be well aware of if you've been in sims for any length of time.

Should we be sending all of the crash files to the Devs every instance? Has anyone created a ticket with support (I would imagine so but since this thread is already 22 pages I haven't read all of them to find out)?

Didn't work for me. Still 2nd mission crash.

Astounding work Sir! When I saw this picture with the hand rivet puller I thought: "Nice work but too bad he's doing it with pop rivets". Then with closer examination of later pictures it appears that all rivets are Cherrymax! Also, it looks like the primer is aircraft grade yellow epoxy primer, the connectors are aircraft grade "Cannon" type and, of course, the use of true Huey fittings. Can I assume that you are an aircraft mechanic? Looking forward to seeing more as this project progresses!

Thanks draconus, the resizing of columns helped a lot. I didn't see an option to hide them though. Where is that located?

Is there any way to adjust the order in which devices are displayed? (see the picture). My throttle is the first after the keyboard but the stick and rudder pedals are way over on the right and offscreen. If not, can the window be expanded in order to see all of the devices?

Thanks!... That did it!

TrackIr Inop I just installed the latest version of the A-4E-C (I had no prior installs of this aircraft) and TrackIr will not work. The github site says "TrackIR becomes non-functional when loading into different aircraft cockpits. Restarting DCS World usually solves this problem." Tried restarting game as well as a complete restart of computer with no luck. I have not gone into any other aircraft. Nealius said "I removed the Headtracking folder from the A-4E mod folder" but I don't see a Headtracking folder. Is there a setting in one of the lua files? All other modules trackir is fine.

Thank you Dietrich! According to this quote it doesn't matter which variant you pick it seems: At the moment (based on the Lua files), there appears to be no in-game difference between the sub-classes for a given SC type.

I've tried to find an explanation as to what the various varieties of bombs are to no avail. Can someone point me to a thread or explain? Thanks

I downloaded the Layered PSD texture template of Fw-190A8 model from the DCS main site Texture Templates section but it gives errors when trying to open in Photoshop CS2 (yeah, I know it's way old and might be an issue) but it also get's errors and doesn't load in the latest Gimp. Any ideas for a work-around?

:clown:Thanks 104th! Had a great time! This was my first event in DCS and I only had a few hours in the MiG. Any possibility of doing a WWII event? It seems to be mostly ignored in DCS. @Maverick... you did get the pronunciation of my name correct a few times... "Von nerd" :pilotfly:

Actually you can... I submitted a ticket to Eagle Dynamics requesting the change and they did it next day. Thank you Konstantin "MotorEAST" Kharin! :thumbup:
