You know I just now read this comment you posted before where I started reading this thread initially and no wonder your getting all pissy and going on and on about this. From the first time I said," it's your fault my map isn't working" I verbally conveyed to you on the phone that I was just kidding with you, even putting a smiley face after the joking comment I made here. Calm down, you have made your point at least twice if not three times in this thread. You are correct in some of what you say, but my DCS got screwed through some glitch of updating and after a repair is now working correctly. I never manually altered any file or files dealing with DCS or any shortcuts I created. I state this just for clarity sake, no attitude is attached to this statement. I do hope that you did absorb what skatezilla said here. "It's not hardcoded, it's the 2nd to the last line in the autoupdate.cfg" And also "But Like I said, I launch DCS.exe directly in either mode. I only use DCS_Updater to update. There is no repercussions to launching dcs.exe directly." And he said he has done this for the last 5 years. There is no advantage or disadvantage to using the Updater.exe exclusively, accept if there is a pending update and you do want to process that update. Even then you can run the updater or repair from the new initialization screen in the files tab. All the changes made to DCS.exe would have to be compiled to the .exe not the updater.exe if, through my very limited programming experience, I understand the patching/updating and compiling process correctly. My apologies if you took my ribbing you about being responsible for my map not working as reality, that was me giving you a hard time and joking with you. Hope you can accept that as I am moving on from this subject. S!Blade<><

I am the person kksnowbear is talking about. "run DCS directly, get into mission goto map, exit, attach dcs.log run Updater click later, get into mission goto map, exit, attach dcs.log. " I did the above and the map works in both instances. Here is the entry in the Autoupdate.cfg "launch": "bin-mt/DCS.exe" I ran the SP.exe and the map was not working just like the problem I had yesterday. I had been using the MT.exe shortcut, which I manually created and copied to my desktop a longtime ago,6months or more?. The only thing I can think is that after updating yesterday for the first time in 6 months from a Beta version that maybe it was messed up in the update process . I did run a repair yesterday after all of this happened and then went in the MT bin folder and made a desktop shortcut to the MT DCS.exe. Everything works fine now. It's still kksnowbears fault no matter what, but back to sleep everyone, sorry for the trouble. S!Blade<>< Edit: You assume wrongly kksnowbear. I have not changed any internal files within the DCS folder in years. I am and will continue to run DCS from the MT.exe shortcut as i have never had a problem with doing that. "It would mean my friend has somehow altered what Updater does, then when it did what it was told, the map problem shows up. He decides (wrongly) that the fix is to run the MT dcs.exe directly (even though that is based on advice in this very forum). "

I have used your updater for I don't know how long and it always works flawlessly. Just wanted to say TY for providing this utility. Not sure I will upgrade as I am happy with the current version. Lol, old guy logic at work here. Anyway, Thank you Sir. S!Blade<><

I have some questions please. Why is ED developing the FW190A-8 when they haven't even finished the kick starter P47 or Me262? Why are these two planes not top priority to complete the original kick starter WWII debacle? I supported ED and thanked them for a couple of years for picking up this mess and committing to finishing it, but here we are how many years later and still no P47 or Me262? I don't understand how that is and yet we have an FW190A-8 taking its first flights in sim by ED? Does anyone know why this is happening? S!Blade<><

Edited OP, but I have an Asus PB278q 2560:1440 My PSU is about 7 years old but not to heavily used. Thanks to all who have shared information here. I think I am better off using what I have until I am ready to do a complete rebuild. Thanks again.:thumbup: S!Blade<><

Need a little advice here gentlemen. I am quite aware that my system is in the outdated category, but I will not be trying a new build until next year most likely. So my question is: Would an EVGA GTX1080 8GB be worth me purchasing now and using until i do a new build? The physical dimensions of a 1080 will fit in my full tower case. I have PCIE 2.0 expansion slots in my Mobo. I am a little confused if I have the right power connectors to connect this GTX1080 to my power supply. From what I am reading, it should work. Could someone confirm this??? I am attaching the Mobo, CPU, Memory, PS and Monitor specs I have now. Any help and/or advice would be appreciated from some of you hardware Gurus out here. Any opinions on whether this purchase would help my performance even in this old system? Again, thanks in advance for any feedback. S!Blade<>< My Current System: MB =Asus M4A79T Deluxe CPU = AMD Phenom II 955 X4 Black Edition (running @ 3.4GB in my setup, no overclocking but Turbo mode enabled) Memory = Corsair Vengeance 4 x 4Gb sticks = 16GB total 1600 MHZ PS = Corsair 750w : The box says 4 x PCI-E 6 pin & 8 pin compatible GPU = EVGA GTX770 4GB Monitor = Asus PB278q 2560:1440

MEH! Mods should be transparent, have blank avatars and remain silent unless it is absolutely necessary to input and receive no appreciation at any time. It is a thankless job, so lets keep it that way. This thread is a waste of time and space, please delete it and Ban Hammer the initiator for at least 1 month if not 2. I am completely serious. Happy New Year and a prosperous 2017. S!Blade<><
