First post in quite awhile, so I have done a ton of troubleshooting and research, so as not to overlook basic testing etc. Have referenced existing resources for activation problems. If I have missed something, please forgive me, but I have looked everywhere for this! I have a ticket open, for a couple of weeks now, it is going nowhere. Issue in a nutshell. After a lot of troubleshooting, and verifying installations using Skate Zilla GUI update utility, as well as the command line passes with the DCS updater utility, I am stuck. Having located the following executable's in the following directories, here is what happens. G:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\ run.exe (case A). G:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\ DCS executable OR Run.exe (case B). G:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\bin\bin\DCS executable (case C). Case A runs fine, all mods I own (several) show installed, they all work. Go to install AV-8B, downloads, client shuts down, client never responds. Start client as Case A from scratch, AV-8B shows as installed, but only shows F2 screen, cannot pilot from F1. Other modules like A-10C, P-51D, using maps like Persian Gulf, Nevada all have pilot-able aircraft. AV-8B will launch on the aforementioned maps, but only F2 and watching fly with AI works. F1 and piloting never works. Case B, runs, but NOTHING shows as installed, only Caucus map, but I get 12 modules to load in module manager, I select AV-8B then install, game client shuts down, never starts again. Run from scratch, no module. Case C same as case B, but in this case only DCS binary is run, no run.exe as in Case A, or B (which has both files in the listed directory). Case C also shows all 12 modules I own to be installed, I try to install client shuts down. Restart, nothing. Yes I own AV-8B, purchased about a month ago. Running both the GUI updater, cleaner, and repair, along with command line versions show I am clean and green, with no problems. from any instances of an EXE file. All show version 2.5.3.24984 those being run.exe setup from the Skate Zilla utility and browsed to for application setup. Pretty sure run.exe is calling DCS binary, but since I found two and cannot replicate my problem with either, greatly confused. Only Case A, calling run.exe from the listed directory, gives me 95% of what I own, all working, except AV-8B. Any help would be greatly appreciated, getting nowhere with my ticket. Thanks,

Have been flying DCS titles for years, this is probably my 10th post. I also would like to get some news on the P-47 or ME also. However, as mentioned earlier, these aircraft were taken over from an offshoot of 1C (if I remember correctly), and I am grateful DCS has decided to see these aircraft to completion. I too was an original backer . . . just glad that DCS is taking their time to model these air frames faithfully.

All in all, just glad ED stepped in. If all I get out of this is the planes I selected at the $65 level I am happy. Manual, would be nice for the ME.262 but not a deal breaker. SDK, icing on the cake if it happens. Since "Microsim" days, and flying the first Longbow sim, and Falcon series, I just care for the fidelity and the airframes, ED should deliver. Happy guy. Thanks to everyone else not mentioned or involved behind the scenes to get it to this point.

I only picked the ME 262 manual as a physical reward, mainly as a neat addition. If it doesn't get done, no worries. If it does, icing on the cake.

Thank you!

Only posted a couple times, really just hang out waiting for updates. Not sure what is taking so long. Personally not too worried yet, but it would be nice to hear something. In the meantime, flying the P51, enjoying that. Just guessing that life got in the way, and we will get a good update soon!

Sleep! Thank you very much.

More concerned about whether or not the P51D crosses over, then I can select two ME 262s!!!!! Give one to a friend, that is why I would like it cleared up. It is confusing, and most all the posts don't really clear it up. But, again, no rush, just waiting around till we get the definitive answer.

Yay!

Thank you . . . awesome, stunning. In a word, Yay!

So true . . . I feel better all ready!

Hmmm, you guys are kinda freaking me out. All I know is, I have played various titles by these guys over the years, and they are light years ahead of the consumerist grind many of the other developers/titles put out. I think we just need to be patient, and all will be fine
