I have just updated my PC from 8.1 to Windows 10, update went smoothly, no issues apart from the game. When starting the game up it seems to hang around at 10% for quite a long time, which I know is normal, but if I go out and start up again, it does exactly the same every time, 10% and I have more than enough time to make a cup of tea, and drink most of it. I have run the game clean, no mods, and I have run repair etc etc. ALL drivers are up to daTe, I'm running a GTX 1080, 32 Gig of RAM enough power to fly almost anything the game has to offer. Nothing I have done has helped. Anybody know why it hangs around at 10%, is that indicative of an issue I can look at closer. Any help or advice would be appreciated. Log file attached: dcs.txt

Ditto - thanks, its obvious ... just me being thick !!! :thumbup:

Larger aircraft in the game cannot land at some airfields due to limited parking restrictions imposed by the game, if it despawns on the runway then its too big for the parking areas, thats how the game sees it, in reality many large transports could land and park on that airfield, but the game wont let them. You can get around this by reducing the physical size of that aircraft in the scrips but that just causes other issues, so by and large you are stuck with things as they are.

Would it be possible to create a new Mod for just the weapons, Meteor, Scalp, GBU etc, they are also used on other current aircraft and it would be nice to have them available in their loadouts.

I saw HMS Glamorgan being hit by the Exocet in 1982, I was trying to get onto her from Atlantic Causeway to use her helo to get back to my unit on 2 Sisters when it struck. Scary stuff, and I saw most of the other ships being bombed and damaged/sunk in San Carlos. Modern warships are extremely vulnerable to any kind of weapon if you are lucky and hit them in the right place. Its an interesting thread, and I agree re Seacat etc, utter crap, the only decent weapon we had then was Sea Wolf, and it had its limitations, but we would have been stuffed without it. Bravest men I saw then - Argentinian pilots - what they did took enormous courage - no animosity with Argentina here.

Cant see that being implemented anytime soon, it would be a very complicated thing to do. But, you never know.

He probably is, but DCS World isn't !!

You have to create your own using the drop down menu in the Mission Editor, create new loadout, its very easy.

I have passed your concerns on to cpdkobra and blacklibrary already, they should respond soon. I am not part of the model construction/conversion process, I know nothing about any of that. I am not sure you could call me part of any team as such, I do things mostly for myself and am happy to pass them on to other 'teams' if they find them useful. These Mods (CAM and MAM) are essentially just eye candy items to add to the game and the quality is not intended to be up to that of a Core Mod aircraft as I understand it. Your expectations may be a bit too high, but they will help you I'm sure. I have always found bump files to be a pain in the ass, but I do like what you did with your Mod, very interesting and very useful. Sorry I did not really understand what you were doing to start with, but I'm with you now.

Okay, your right, I didnt understand what you were saying, sorry. This is well beyond my area of expertise, I know nothing about 3dmax, I dont own or have access to it, I just make up skins and livery packs from what I am given to work with. I have asked the guys who made/converted this model to look at your posts and respond. PS - Thank you for your link, I had not seen that, I will use it in future if I can.

None of my Liveries change the stock MAM_C5_Galaxy_B.dds file, they all use the same file that is in the Main Textures folder, as you can see from the description files in each Livery, the attribute is set to 'true'. {"MAM_C5_Galaxy", 1, "MAM_C5_Galaxy_B",true}, I didnt create that file, it was created by the guys making the model, in 3dmax, and I learned long ago not to mess with bump files too much, the outcomes are never quite what you want, especially with older models such as this. If you change the attributes of that file it will make things appear very differently on the flying model, which is what you appear to have done. So my next question is why are you changing that file to make it darker, I don't understand what you are trying to achieve by that ? Can you explain what it is you are trying to do and I might be able to advise another option, but changing the stock bump file isnt going to be high on my list of recommendations.

I dont use the standard RoughMet textures, they appear far too bright for my taste, so I create a RoughMet from the basic skin and tone that down(or up) to adjust the glare, its not really a bug as such. If you use my Liveries as they are in the latest update that should not be an issue.

faghula - check your inbox.

Be aware, we are reworking the C5 skins to make the lettering and tail codes clearer, which includes a new edm, so dont try to do anything with the existing skins until we caught up with that bit of work, then you wont have to redo it all again. It wont be a long wait, its almost done.

Noted ... Will do it when finished with the C5 update.

Done with Orion liveries for now, the following will be added at the next update. Canada x 3, Germany, Japan, Iran, Chile, Australia and Norway. Off to redo the whole C5 again, we might be able to make that look a lot better in respect of the badges and writing on the airframe, but it will take time.

Fictional P8's and MRTT's, not accurate but handy to have parked around your airfield if you like eye candy. The RAF P8 is based on what I think the RAF will paint them when they get them into 120 Sqn service, which might be complete borrocks of course !!

Ooops, that's not supposed to be there !!!!!!!!! It's not available yet, A330, painted up as RAF Voyager. Its something Black Library and Kobra are working on for the Civil Air Mod, I got an early preview to do that skin. No harm in telling you, I also did some fictional skins for RAF/USN P8's based on the B737 and a couple of MRTT skins for Canada and German based on the A320, those will be released in due course. They buy them and convert them, I just paint them, if I can. They are just eye candy of course, no functional refuel capability.

Norway

lo siento, I dont have any way to add weathering, I'm using VERY old software and it just does not do it justice, it ends up looking a mess, but I'm happy for anyone else to add to my skins as they wish.

flyingscotsman - try sending me a link to the page instead Jock, I might be able to open it and see for myself ... My family are frae Montrose and I served in Arbroath for 6 years with the 45th of foot. PS: Is it the one with The Saint outline painted on the tail - I can do that I think.

I will send these on to BlackLibrary for inclusion in next update. RCAF Grey/Blue Chile Iran (Early)

Yes, I can do that one Rudel, will get it added in due course.

There is a blank grey/white skin in the pack that could be used for Iran, just add the decals. Unfortunately I cant paint a modern camo scheme for Iran, the model uses strips of texture for the undercarriage doors from the upper airframe and whatever colour that bit is will be the same for the doors, so it looks stupid. Thats why I have kept to single colours for that model. Iran uses both skin variations, so you can have one, but not the other. I'll make the grey/white and get it added to the next update.
