Hi All. A quick update on my above post. I removed what few add-on mods I had, and carried out a slow repair, the map is now loading and usable offline as I was hoping for, so I thought would let you know its sorted out. Happy Bug Hunting. Crowman.

Hi All. My issue is with using the Marianas Map offline, I get "The following DLCs are not authorized and will be disabled: Mariana Islands", but when I'm online I have no issue with accessing the Map, hope this helps. Happy Bug Hunting. Crowman.

Hi all. After trawling the reports for the Mi-24 I've been unable to find an entry about the "view transpose" controls, this is listed in the controls under AI Aiming I think it was, despite several attempts involving erasing and rebuilding control sets I am still unable to get it working, any hints would be appreciated or am I just being thick. Happy Hunting. Crowman.

Hi All. After release of the Mi-24 I installed and tested in Open Beta with few issues. However when I updated Stable to latest and attempted to install Mi-24 I had the same message, following Flappies above post, I tried using the ingame updater, still the same, so backed up user folder and removed and allowed SIM to rebuild the files, then restarted SIM. Mi-24 installed no problem, I havent got round to copying controls etc for other modules yet as mostly using OB version, Hope this helps. Happy hunting. Crowman.

Message to all. Please excuse my stupidity, the ME is working ok, turns out the interface had reset to its default interface following the noted update and I hadnt realised, as I had not used it in that form for so long. Moderator please erase this post when you see it. Cheers. Crowman.

Hi All. Following update to v 2.7.1.7029, I have been unable to access the ME via the GUI limited access via keyboard shortcuts seem to work, have tried repairs, renewing User file, any tips would be appreciated, no Mods are installed. Cheers Crowman.

Hi All. Here's one for you, A while a go I was looking around at whats been changing witin the guts of the sim and I found the model for the P-51B plus some other files for it but no livery files that I can find though, future plans? or abandoned poorer child?, it would be nice as an add-on to the P-51 Module or the "TF-51". Happy Hunting.

Hi Everyone. Quick update for you regarding my issue with offline mode, after being offline with the fallback mode, came back on the forum and saw Bigneweys post glad its not a problem, so I fired up the sim again and offline working as normal, only thing I can think of was update working through servers as I noticed the Multiplayer wasnt loading either, before I tried Offline originally, so I will wait a bit longer next time to let the updates circulate. Thanks for prompt response.

Hi All. Following todays hotfix install for the Open Beta I am unable to enter the offline mode getting error 401 any help would be appreciated. Happy testing to all!!

Hi All. To Eldur I also had issues when first installed, or so I thought, sorted when I realised there was an Axis for the prop, now got the hotrod rocking, just need to sort my crap piloting skills now, hope this helps.

Hi All Thanks to Ian-C, for mentioning the Update Server Status, I also have noticed this, same status only 3 servers showing as online, any news on this from Skate, as I personally am concerned as to whether its related to the latest Beta issues, which I hoping will get sorted next update??????

Hi All. I'm glad I found this post as I've been trying to work out whats going on with the Beta, after getting the P-47 and Channel and playing around for a while, I then discovered the other issues of which ther seem to be many, not just the lighting issues mentioned, animation on other modules, its just the Beta luckily and I also am able to use the the stable version which is still mostly ok, I have just noticed that out of the 17 update servers, all but 3 are offline, so I would say something has been found and is hopefully being fixed, so I would say dont do any fresh installs of SIM as servers may not cope, do we know if anyone has heard anything from any of the Moderators regarding the Beta issues.

Hi All I can confirm download issue only appears to be with the user file downloads, the other types ie documents, Skin templates, and DCS previous versions appear to unaffected, also it's not just Firefox that is affected also MS Edge as well so I suspect it is a ED issue, some MOD comments on the situation would be welcome.

Hi All Here's one for you I have just completed Win10 update, but stupid me forgot that I had been using DCS in Offline mode before the update and now I cant get back in, I am receiving the message "Cannot exit offline mode due to hardware ID change. Ask for support" Please any suggestions

Hi All Here is an update on my issue, after trawling through pages and pages about keyboard shortcuts, to no successful conclusion, I found the solution by chance. As my Win 10 install is brand new and I am new to that version of windows, I went through step by step what I had done, and found that the pop up message itself was of no real help, but the icon highlighted on the task bar was, the issue was down to software installed at the same time as the Motherboard fan control software, those little tick-box options again, so now the offending program has been removed and the F-14 Jester Menu operates without interruption, hopefully no further issues will occur with the change over of OS versions. It just proves that something that us users may perceive as a possible fault with a module, may actually be to do with something totally unrelated. A quick message to the moderators, if this post is of more use to anyone else somewhere other than here please feel free to relocate it. As always happy bug hunting and continue the good work.

Hi All. I am currently in the process of swapping DCS over from Win 7 to new install of Win 10, so far Basic DCS Beta installed and working ok, now starting to swap over modules. First one the F-14 all looked ok until it came to using the jester menu to change the radio when I received a windows message about screen capture or something like that, any suggestions/advice from the community. Thanks in advance.:helpsmilie:

Hi Eldur. I found it as well, also the pilot is no longer called Iceman, and when pulling G instead of getting tunnel vision you get code from the Matrix, others may exist, hopefully it's the developers having a laugh, just hope nothing gets cocked up by the fun.

Sim Lockup with latest version Hi All. Just installed the latest version of Tacview and I have an issue with it. When starting any mission, when the mission has loaded and goes to the screen where you enter the pit, the Sim freezes and according to taskmaster is no longer responding, this is on the latest Beta version of the Sim. Any suggestions. :helpsmilie:

Also I suspect others would like Nineline to comment on these findings

I can confirm that a lot of the missions that come as standard, Instant missions especially have gone, My advice at present DON'T run the update. This needs fixing rapid as I suspect there are a lot of unhappy customers now.

Thanks Guys, I was wondering if was something like that due to the colours, glad its not a bug, great video wish I had found it earlier definitely need practice. :thumbup:

Hi All. Congratulations to Heatblur on a Mega Module. I hope someone can help me decode a mystery, on the F-14B Module, After checking through the manual and watching several vids on the new module I am non the wiser as to what the multicoloured box on the right of the screen is for, this is displayed when the controls indicator RCTRL+ENTER is selected, any information would be appreciated. Sorry for no image but haven't sussed how to yet.:helpsmilie:

Testing for attached Imageges

Hi All. Can anyone else confirm a possible issue I've encountered. I first noticed this issue with the Ka-50 when ejecting from my crashing copter, the pilot seems to land on an invisible area above the aircraft, drops his chute, and then plummets to his death, the dropped chute remains at the height of the first landing, after going through all the aircraft with ejection seats I can confirm it affects them all, tested on Caucasus Map and Normandy Map so far, others are being checked. No mods are installed, install has been cleaned and repaired.:helpsmilie:
