    Neither is the AV-8B or M-2000C But, It really doesn't matter, as Ron himself has publicly said, that they choose not to participate in any of the sales. So Putting them in the video would only lead people to cry about false advertising.

    You're GPU is being removed from your system either due to driver Timeout or Driver crash recovery. Reason: DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED, DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG

    RazBAM was not suspended from development until they announced their self imposed suspension due to not being paid, RB is still operating, just not DCS Aircraft Development, they are still developing for other sims, We don't know which contract or which part of it was breached. Simply put, their breach may have simply prompted ED to freeze payments until resolved and not a "You made a huge mistake, license terminated, give us your source code." The source code clause is for 3rd parties that are dissolving, their assets going to escrow, The source code clause isn't for 3rd party take overs.

    It's a JSON Parser Error, on Line 1 of the app because the JSON Parser DLL is missing. Also which version is this? the DLL should be embedded into the EXE in the latest public versions. As well, the Main Form is not Form1_Load, nor is the Folder Scan Function name "FolderScanAndVerify" in the new one. It seems like you are running Pre v2.0 versions.

    The other thing not mentioned, This applies to 3rd parties that discontinue support due to terminating/discontinuing operations (ie Closing / Shutting Down). This likely does not apply to companies voluntarily suspending operations due to contract dispute or similar situations.

    99% of the Time, PUP (Potentially Unwanted Programs) / GameHack database is controlled by 2 things. A. Library Signature (if it's not signed, or signature is outdated it will be flagged). B. Publisher Reputation (if too many users report the DLL Publisher w/ "not working" reports etc etc, then the publisher will be flagged and anything with their signature will be flagged). Another part users seem to forget, at least w MS's protection specifically, when a program crashes A-LOT, and you have auto-send reports on, the crash report contains the file that caused the crash and the publisher. If say the F-15E ARF.dll causes 20 crashes in a month, and your system + everyone else's system sends the same report. The Database is updated to reflect that file as a PUP due to excessive crash reports. As far as virus definitions, every, and I mean EVERY anti-virus company uses the same database for the virus definitions, how their software determines threats and presents options to the user is the only difference. The issue is, any program containing common lines w/ those in the Virus database, are also flagged. 99% of the time, DCS DLLs aren't matched to a Virus definition, but are instead matched to that Software company's PUP List, which is maintained by Publisher reputation mainly *(outside of MS Security, which uses reputation + windows crash reports). In rare cases, DCS DLLs maybe matched to things like Wacatac which uses similar code to some of DCS's functions for get states in the physics and flight model DLLs.

    Incorrect, ED Miles are rewards points from purchases, The Refund is Dollar Value in your ED Wallet. *IE Store Credit*, It's completely separate from Miles.

    I'm not gonna drag this thread in tangents, based off what wikipedia is telling you vs what I know from experience. That being said, there's also no proof that either scenario is what the current situation is, for all we know, there could have been a typo mistaking a date for a value or something along those lines. But: Timebombs run code after the timer reaches zero, which is started during install update or launch, can be defused by code or key being inserted to reset or disable timer. DMS disables code when reaching a pre determined hard date, can only be fixed by re-compiling and moving the DMS Date further back. Vista Beta 2 is not the same situation, I was part of that test, there is also a defuse / developer deactivation prompt in b2. The day VB2 Ended, System.Environment.Date was checked, and if that Date was >= End of beta it ran the code to put up the lock screen, you needed to download and install a newer copy over the old one or enter the developer key. VB2 was honestly a TB, but the timer was not run on your system, instead it was run on MS's and you synced to it when you activated your copy. Since everyone's F-15E was disabled on the same day, and not a specific time after they updated, it's not a time bomb. The definition is in it's name TIME BOMB, It literally counts down, then executes code. There's also the fact, time bombs have defuse keys used to reset or disable said timer, have you seen any thing released to restore your F-15E Radar systems yet? Nope. There's also the fact that it's not running code because it's after 6/13/24, no extra code is being ran when i look at memory dumps, it's the opposite, if after 6/13/24, specific radar functions are simply not being ran at all.

    "Time Bomb"? users keep using that word.. Time bombs are malicious code used to execute functions after an elapsed time has passed to damage or destroy itself or other software infrastructures. The radar issue is not a time bomb. If anything it's a D.M.S., when compiling they likely set a date 6 months or so in the future, and update the said date every time they compile a new build. If something happens and they no longer compile builds, the date exceeds the date in the compiled software and things are disabled. This also happened on release branch around the new year. But definitely not a time bomb, I've been writing software for decades, so I'm pretty confident in definitions.

    Undervolting is your friend. I dropped 19°C and gain 20% clocks/performance by under volting my brothers 7900XTX, also dropped roughly 45W load.

    And I thank you for answering, was just curious to see the other another PoV that's all, Discord status didnt have a part as I dont frequent the RB discord. lol, Cause I carry so many titles across so many discords, I'm like Barnes and Noble.

    That's literally all there is, and all there is going to be until resolved. Don't understand how you're quick to throw away one CEO's statement, but blindly follow another CEO's statement.

    community mods are maintained by those teams, The ED Updates revised several missiles built into DCS, the mods relied on those missiles, need to be updated.

    Now... it wasn't broken 4 days ago, and a patch from ED didn't break it either.

    Considering the EDM Plugin was last updated in May... I think support for 3D Suites has shifted. But If you need some help, I'm 99% sure I'm on the A4 discord, you can message me there. You may have to Ping me, as I'm in dozens of Discords.

    You're running Dedicated server on a Non server branch. DCS_Updater.exe update @dcs_server.release

    Just noting: if the DLL not signed was the problem, the entire DLL would be ignored and the entire systems infrastructure would be broken, no one specific system. it's code related, not signature related.

    TV Legal drama series. I prefer JAG.
