I am having this issue also, but it showed in Single player offline, whilst starting missions I had made to test new modules, in my case I was noticing that that the guns did not work, (they are cocked hydraulically), and I only noticed after much frustraion, back on the ground trying to unfold the wings like you, I thought how come thats not working now! after following the start up procedure in the training, I realised that having moved the cowl flaps control to open and looked at the cowl flaps to confirm position, I hadnt realised that the control lever was still in the open position which seemed to drain of the pressure, preventing the wing operation, so I returned the control to the neutral position, and re-checked the wing operation, success they now work as should, next I tried the non-working guns on the ground, again they worked, so I think the solution to this is to check the opeation of items in the hydro system and make sure the controls are returned to a neutral position. Hope this helps you, I am continuing my testing and learning, also sorry if I rambled on a bit.

Hi All I am getting the same message when I try to carry out the update, any ideas on the issue???? Thanks in advance.

Hi Bignewy. Thanks for confirming that the AI assistant has been implemented by ED and not by someone else, this is the information I was after Thank you. Happy Bug Hunting.

Hi All. Just a quick post to enquire about the issue just noticed in the title of this post, have we been assigned an AI assistant for the website or is it something more sinister. I await your posts with interest. Regards Crowman

Hi All. A quick update and some good news after checking my system date and time settings I discovered the time was out by 2 mins so hit the synchronise and retried, success, can now access the sim, I noticed that FC3 is unavailable but the individual aircraft that were in FC3 are now seperate mods and are accessible weird. Also still unable to use the sim offline. So all round the day is getting better now. Happy testing to all.

Just to add a quick footnote the previous version was running with no errors perfectly well so what gives?????

Hi All. Just fininshed installing the latest update again after 11+ hrs of download only to be greeted by the error code "Failed to get authorisation data. Error code is 500 No saved authorisation found". This has removed access to all my Official Mods from the Sim. System time is correct and on manual setting, Windows 10 is as up to date as can get with the faulty KB 5034441. To say I'm more than a bit p@@@~d off is an understatement. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi All, after updating a minimul version of DS World I am using to test the updates, I attempted to use it offline due to internet connection issues only to receive a message which goes something like this "Unable to activate offline mode error code 500" any suggestions???

Thanks for the reply Andy, so Its not a bug its reality, bummer!

Hi All. I have noticed after a bit of flying in the F-15E module, if you fly inverted for any length of time the engines cut out, presumably due to fuel starvation, I wouldnt have thought this would have been an issue for an aircraft such as this, I will also check to see if Neg G flight affects it as well, dont know if this is intentional or a bug. Happy Bug hunting. Crowman.

Hi All. Good news the Official Mossi template is now in the downloads section.

Hi All. The Template for the Mosquito is now available in the downloads section, happy skin creating, and i look forward to all those new liveries.

Hi All. Unfortunately it is now coming to the end of 2022 and there is still no downloadable template for the Dora on the DCS website.

Hi All. Just reading your posts, just a quick question regarding Radar Altimeter operation, are you trying to alter it from a cold start state or Hot start, I ask this because so far from a cold start there dont seem to be any issues, but others including myself, are reporting being unable to alter the state of the altimeter from a Hot start situation, fortunatly its in operation from a hot start, you can confirm this from the Monicle display ("I" toggles), Radar altimeter should be displayed in the lower right of the display. Hope this helps. Happy Bug Hunting.

Hi All. Quick update, cleared out mods etc to do a track as requested and the anti- collision lights are working again as should, so my bad, I will let you know which mod is causing the issue when I find out, sorry about the false alert. Keep up the good work.

Hi All. Something I have noticed whilst going through the training missions, when the trainee is asked to activate a control or press a button (that item may be highlighted), the first time user would find it very handy if the applicable default keyboard command was listed in the dailog box, this would also be helpful on other training missions. Cheers.

Hi All. I have noticed that amongst all the official training missions that ED and their fellow developers have released for their Helicopter Modules, non of them that I have found so far include auto-rotation training, which is a fundamental part of Helicopter training, the problem I have noticed so far whilst trying to practice this in all the modules vary in the extras that are needed, for example if trying it in the AH-64D, you loose electrical and Hydraulic power, and thus flight control, result fire pit creation, you can start APU and Emergency Hydaulics prior to practice but wouldnt have time in battlefied situation, your thoughts on this would be appreciated. Happy Bug Hunting.

Hi All. I noticed whilst performing a cold start that when the collision lights are switched on and then powered by the APU, they dont appear to work properly, the White strobes dont work at all, and the Red Flashing dont flash they are just illuminated constantly. Prior to Hot Fix 2.7.11.22211, they were working ok just a bit down on brightness. Happy Bug Hunting.

Hi Bignewy. Good to hear that someone on the team has managed to reproduce the issue, thanks for letting us know. Happy Bug Hunting.

Hi All. Newsflash: Reports are coming in from McCarran International Nevada of an Unidentified Flying Object showing on their radar screens, the object was being reported as a Military Helicopter believed to be a AH-64D flying 70 Miles NNE of the airport and at the time it’s transponder was showing as inoperative, but officials have denied this as the altitude and speeds obtained by the object do not tally with the performance of any known Helicopter, altitude of approximately. 558,212 ft AGL, and speeds of approximately 2977 kts. No wait there are images coming in from the International Space Station who are using their long range, Cameras. The Mystery deepens what is this strange object, it can’t possibly be a helicopter can it????

Hi All. Sorry about the previous post regarding the blades and hub in game mode, they are still as mentioned at the start of the post, Game Mode doesn't seem to affect the main rotor disappearing issue, sorry to get your hopes up, I will continue checking and keep you informed if I find anything different.

Hi All. I thought with the issues that are affecting some of us, and Game mode being mentioned as causing issues, I thought "I wonder what game mode causes" so I activated Game mode on both settings that are available and retried the AH-64 module to see what happened, It was hysterical to see over Mach 1 in horizontal flight and over 200,000 ft in altitude, also of interest and more relevant to this post was the fact that at one point during my messing about, I had the engines and rotors running so I thought lets try changing to/from AI to see what happens and lo and behold the blades and hub remained. I will do some more checking and let you know, Just thought I would mention this to try and help nail the issue. Happy bug hunting. and yes I will switch game mode off again when I've finished messing about. Catch you all later. Gigidy.

Hi Bignewy Removed Tacview (was only mod installed), carried out slow repair as requested and retested, fault still apparent, so please find attached logs immediatly post testing, hope they help. dcs.log debrief.log

Hi Bignewy I went through the option screen and can reconfirm game mode is not selected on either of the two options, I have tried to attach a video file but is too big, will try again with a shorter vid hopefully showing the issue, unfortunatly the vids are larger than 5MB, attached a screen shot showing the issue, hope it helps.

Hi Bignewy I can confirm I am not using game mode at all, I have noticed the tracks are not catching some other issues I am encountering, so I will attach a video capture of issues to confirm as well as a track. Thanks for the reply.
