I am having the exact same issue that you have described. Have you found a solution? From what I can tell it may be mission related, on certain servers I can load in "fly" on some missions right away but on the same server with a different mission it takes about 10-15 minutes if I am lucky and don't "time out". I have tried many things and checked the common culprits with out any luck. I will keep you in the loop if I find a solution and please let me know if you have had any successes.

It may actually be that even thought I pick an aircraft it is not assigning me to it and I am still a spectator? Once i select an aircraft I than select briefing and it shows the briefing and the Red FARP if I click the X to close the briefing i can use F-10 and view all units on the map and F-2 to cycle all Red and Blue units views. This doesn't seem like it should happen.(but as stated before if I click fly DCS hangs) How often do the missions change? Is it timed or is it if one side or the other completes the objectives? Or is it on a schedule, if so whats the schedule? Maybe it I know the schedule I can at least know when and what missions are active?

On the ACG server there are 2 missions that I am unable to fly on Springfield and Ossetia. When these missions are active I am able to connect to the server, select a role or chat and read the briefing. As soon as I click "fly" DCS freezes/hangs and I have to force quit DCS. All other missions on this server work fine with no issues, only problem is with the 2 mentioned above. Has anyone else had a similar issue on this server or any server? Does anyone have any tips, ideas or suggestion I may try to resolve this issue? Is there a file or log I could post that might help to identify the problem?(There is not a crash log since I have to force quit the game)

Thanks and I need a bit of help. First thanks for the great server. Unfortunately I am not always able to enjoy it, there are now 2 missions that I am unable to fly on Springfield and now Ossetia. When these missions are active I am able to connect to the server, select a role or chat and read the briefing. As soon as I click "fly" DCS freezes/hangs and I have to force quit DCS. All other missions work fine with no issues, only problem is with the 2 mentioned above. Has anyone else had a similiar issue? Does anyone have any tips, ideas or suggestion I may try to resolve this issue? Is there a file or log I could post that might help to identify the problem?

I have been finding it difficult to find the best gun sight depression settings as well. Mainly with bombs(Mk-82) so I typically just use 80 and and always try to start at +5000 above target.(and still miss after lots of practice) This is not always practical or the best option. I have referenced a few different chart including the ones posted here with very little success. Even with rockets setting depression around 10-15, I still end up in a suicide dive and pulling up and the last second if I really want make sure I am on target.(This is a dangerous and ill advised maneuver) There has to be a logical equation as to what to set the depression to. It would seem if you had all the variables i.e. Alt, Speed, Dive Angle, etc etc and you enter them into an equation it would give you a consistent accurate setting. This would be useful when spotting targets on the fly and quick calculator skills. Has anyone tried crunching the number to see if such an equation exists? Yes please any advise, tricks, opinions, for all types of weapons would be valuable.

Thanks Airdog, I was missing the second piece of code that goes into the AN_ALR87_init.lua file. Once I added, it works. Thanks.

This is the original lua I had last time I played, I can not remember if the RWR worked at that time but I have to believe it did otherwise I would have stopped and tried to fix it at that time. Right_MFCD works RWR does not. _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('F-5E'); Description = 'F-5E' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 5760; height = 1080; viewDx = -0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 5760 / 1080; } } RWR = { x = 5760; y = 120; width = 640; height = 480; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 6400; y = 120; width = 640; height = 480; } UIMainView = Viewports.CenterThis is the the new one that the RWR does not work on either. Every thing else works fine. _ = function(p) return p; end; name = _('F-5E Alt'); Description = 'F-5E Alt' Viewports = { Center = { x = 0; y = 0; width = 5760; height = 1080; viewDx = -0; viewDy = 0; aspect = 5760 / 1080; } } RWR = { x = 6160; y = 40; width = 400; height = 400; } RIGHT_MFCD = { x = 5760; y = 40; width = 400; height = 400; } UIMainView = Viewports.CenterThis is a clean install of DCS, I have not edit any other files. Which actually could be a problem. RWR working as an export might rely on another file being edit that I have forgotten about over the years.

Is it possible to export the RWR with the F-5 module? I know it is possible with other modules (ie A-10C, KA-50), I have experience exporting and creating multi monitor setups(editing .lua). I even have a .lua config file for the F-5E with the RWR listed as an export from the last time I played, but I can not remember if it worked and actually exported the RWR since it was over a year ago that I last played.(it does not work now) Being that it has been over a year with many updates to DCS, it may be possible that something has changed that I am unaware of. I went back to basics and consulted https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=70716 as a refresh and created a few new config .lua without any success. I can post the .lua to this thread later when I am home. In brief 1. Is it possible to export the RWR with the F-5 module? / Has anyone done it? 2. If so would you mind posting your .lua? Or giving me some insight. 3. Has there been an update to the way that you need to edit .lua's? I know it is very difficult for someone to help trouble shoot with limited info, so as stated I will post my .lua files later. Please ask me for any other info that you may need to help me solve the issue. Thanks in advance and its great to be flying again in DCS.

Wrong thread I had too many tabs open and posted this in the wrong place. Re-posted https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=191502 Please see and respond in other thread. Mod/Admin delete this thread if necessary.

My biggest problem with the temporary fix I posted earlier is that it moves the radio menus to the far right. This mod solves that problem. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2019016/ (all credit to Snacko)

This .lua show that if you remove the GUI= and UIMainView = GUI from your .lua monitor config file the map works as it should. Also it goes back to the stretching GUI across all three monitors which is not ideal. Su-25T.lua

Same problem here, Do not know if Skatezilla has got the files and info he is looking for but I will post what I have.(NOTE this is actually a 4 monitor / 2 screen setup which creates the extra black space to the right on the screen shots.) debrief.zip Su-25_B.lua

\YOUR DCS INSTALL DIR\Config\MonitorSetup Backup up or make a copy of the .lua that you are using for your setup and edit the .lua file as Terrorvogel has shown. Note if you just make a copy when editing you will want to change the name = (xxx) field so that you can ID in game which one you edited.

Disabled Kaspersky AV and the mission loaded in about 10 seconds and all the hangs and stutters stopped. Re-enabled it and the problem returned. Culprit Kaspersky. Tweaked around in with Kaspersky's settings and I can now leave AV on and run the game. I does seem odd now knowing what the problem was that it did not affect the Nevada map. However I really do not care to know why because I am now happy that I am able to play DCS. I should have know better as a long time PC gamer to check my AV sooner. I guess after trouble shooting hundreds of games and never had an issuer with the AV before, it fell by the way side of things to check.

Installed a separate DCS install of version 2.0. Ran the Nevada map and it loaded in about 20 seconds and ran perfectly. (Also my first time running Nevada map and it looks great) No hangs or crashes. I loaded the Caucasus map/terrain files into the 2.0 install for test purposes and it behaved the same as the 1.5 install.(Hangs during load or CTD, or wait about 5 minutes and the game stalls and hangs about every 30 seconds and does not respond for about 30-60 seconds.) So this leads me to believe that the problem is related to the Caucasus map/terrain. I decide that I would try rolling back to previous versions of the 1.5 install. I tried all previous stable releases from 1.5.4 back to 1.5.2 and than the betas as far back to 1.5.0. None of them seemed to solve or help issue at all. Really at a loss now, do not know what to try next.

Cool thanks, I remember that last time I tried this on a 1.5.X version it did not work but it does appear to work with 1.5.4. I would not have tried it again if I had not read this post. It is great to have the radio menu on the center screen. Now if it could only fix me other issues I will be in great shape.

Installed/repaired visual c++ 2005-2015 x64 and x86, and the issue remains unresolved the freeze/hangs and possible crash still persist. Thanks for the info, it was worth a try. Any other info or ideas welcome.

1)Bitmaster, it is a ssd, it was on a seperate ssd from the OS but when I did the reinstall I put it on the same drive as the OS.(I doubt that disk taxation is the problem, see pic below) Not mush else running, clean boot up and I keep my system clean of bloatware and the like. The hangs while playing are not similar to the hangs experienced from an over-tasked system associated with fps drop and stutter. The graphics freeze for up to a minute, but worth noting if doing a training mission the audio track file from the instructor plays during the graphics hang. 2) Atalia, did you just reinstall the top section with visual libraries 2005-2015, or the whole section including the service packs. I will definitely give this a try. 3) No overclock, but while installing all these run time libraries I will check your previous post Yellow and look for more information. Thank you very much guys for the replies. Once I have installed the run time libraries I will post an update. Attached is a pic of the game running in 1080 with some performance monitors. Note that during this little test the progress bar hangs around 40% which is new and different.

I have been trying to solve this issue for over a day now, have tried may suggestions I have read on the forums without any successes. I will try to include all the steps I have taken and other relevant information. The game will load to the main start screen, but once I try to load a mission(training, quick, or campaign w/different aircraft) the new load screen appears and the progress bar stops at about 80%. As soon as I click the mouse or a key the game crashes(Generic windows crash "DCS is not responding" w/out any others messages. Picture attached below). If I do nothing and wait for about 5 minutes the mission will load (I know from past experience that it usually takes less then a minute to load). The problem does not end here, once in the mission the game will hang about every 30 seconds or so for as little as 5 seconds to as long as a minute.(again have ran the game smoothy in the past with out this issue) It may be worth noting that I last played DCS about 4 months ago and it ran great at that time. Trouble shooting steps taken. 1. Ran repair/update 2. Tested on lowest graphics settings possible 3. Updated Video card 4. Checked direct X was up to date 5. Deleted user directory 6. Uninstalled and reinstalled clean version of DCS 1.5 I have experienced the same issue in the past and solved it with a full OS reinstall.(This is not the best solution and I do not wish to do this again) Here is the related post from last time. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=153689 (Recycled a lot from that post for this one) For any more information of clarification please ask. OS - Windows 10 CPU - AMD FX-8370 / 8 X 4.1GHz Mem - 16GB DX - 12 GPU - AMD 295X DxDiag.txt debrief.zip

I have noticed that if no other program or window is open on the desktop DCS will not Alt-Tab to the desktop. If you run something like a web browser and leave the window open on the desktop you can alt-tab to it. Give it a shot kerlix.

You may need to edit your options.lua to set your screen back to a working configurations. C:\Users\Your_user_name\Saved Games\DCS\Config - Options.lua As always backup files before editing Line 42 ["aspect"] = 1.7777777777778, Line 52 ["height"] = 1080, line 54 ["multiMonitorSetup"] = "1camera", line 64 ["width"] = 1920, This is if your primary is 16:9 1920x1080, This should set you back to default. Any other questions just ask. Be sure to use a decent editor like notepad++

Excellent thanks, I thought they where a separate mod.
