While flying and sometimes on the ground in the F-16, my computer has blue screened and would have to be restarted. I've been trying to figure it out, however it is ONLY in the F-16. If I jump back into the F-18 or F-5, there is no issue and I am able to fly for hours. I have no mods installed, apart from liveries for other air frames. DCS log attached.

This explains why AUTO never works for GBUs and I have to use CCIP mode....

Nvm, it is in regards to this. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=247633 Harm was selected still which took priority from the TGP and the JDAM screen i had up. Please delete.

When slewing to a target, the TDC Depress no long sends coords to a target for the JDAM page or works at all.

It isn't static objects, it is actual live targets, tanks, SAMs, etc.

Oh nvm it appears this was moved. Any reason this was moved since it was posted in bugs? The TGP should be able to be utilized at night at long distances just like the A-10....

[W.I.P]Targeting pod during night operations I like to fly at night and I’ve noticed that using the Targeting pod during night operations, while using the FLIR, doesn’t really make targets stick out as one would think. At about 26k feet and only when I’m right over the target area, do targets start popping up. Otherwise the DDI is basically black or green depending on WHT or BHT is selected. My night conditions are pretty dark, usually a little bit of a moon present. Are there any addition controls that are needed to be turned on at night operations or just the normal procedure? I do believe we should be able to see things just as we would during day operations using the flir. The TGP is all weather day/night.

Posted in wrong section.

I found a message in here with who the string of admin users needs to be and was able to fix this. Is there a way to shrink the VR text so it fits into the boxes it creates in the test box? Some commands are cut off and some options are cut off as well. Thanks

I have installed slmod, and the -help and -conv command work, but using the -reg command for admin, does not work... I have set an admin register password. Using the command line version to run the server, not using the dedicated package

I think this may have been due to wind on the particular server I was on. I tried in a controlled environment without wind and I did not have an issue.

Is there a file which carries the default laser codes for the TPOD, LGBS, and E Mav's so one doesn't have to change it every time they load the air craft up again?

BIGNEWY, can you confirm if this covers JDAMs as well, because I also report an issue with overshoot using JDAMs.

Using JDAMS, I find they either miss in front or behind the selected area while utilizing the TGP. Not sure if it is a bug or not or perhaps, I am doing something wrong. I will attach a track file at another time, the track I have currently is too big.

I upgraded from the Vive Pro to the Valve Index, and for this it is huge... at 8k I was able to see a Rapier dust off and launch at me, and avoid it. The vive pro was too pixilated. With the Index, and the F18 which I fly all time, lines are more crisp, which increases the ability to see things in the cockpit. The cockpit itself looks amazing with the crisper lines and colors. I can't wait to see the F-16. VR or nothing.

If you make each "Group" only one aircraft, you can get as many planes on there as you want. The issue is making the group and flight of 3 or 4 or 2, is that it actually counts those as taking up space even though no one may be in them. Just do single flight groups

Eh most likely Tippis, but want to make sure it was reported separate in case it was not. Defuses the "We didn't know about it so we didn't fix it" "wasn't reported so it wasn't fixed"

Placing any tanker in the mission editor and setting the Tacan Freq and other items in the advanced waypoint won’t save one clicking into another unit or adding a waypoint. It’ll revert back to 1X and delete all other taskings.

I tried SCS left and right and neither of them have unbound the STEP box from a target on the SA page... in MP. I haven't tried SP, but for me that isn't a factor since I don't play it unless testing a mission quickly. The only way I was able to unbind it, was zoom in to 5nm where there was no targets for it to STEP to and then it unbound, which I doubt it is supposed to work like that.

@Abak, is that the LSO Script you are using? or something custom?

Well, I did it without issue and can confirm that all I needed to do was copy and paste and then create a new shortcut for the game to play on my desktop. The SSD did solve my stuttering issue with VR and taking long load times when cycling through F2 or loading maps with lots of AI.

Not sure if this would be a DCS issue or F-18 specific, but I’ve noticed that a lot of F-18s are showing that their wings are folded and are not while playing DCS. I know I have already been told numerous times that my wings are folded and in fact are not.

Thanks for the responses. Will end up doing this within a week or so.

I am considering getting an SSD for DCS, and I have a few questions. What do I need to do to get DCS to run again on the new hard drive? Or just a fresh install? Do I need to un-register my computer somehow with current DCS because it will detect different hardware? Last, how will an SSD help with DCS in general, will it increase load times on bigger maps with more objectives on it, etc.? Thanks
