Justificus

Ah, sorry, didn't get that from what I read...

Has to be. The Gazelle doesn't work in the Open Beta, it works in the release version. So there must be some sort of difference there alone.:smilewink:

Sounds most excellent! I've been toying with something along those lines but have no skillz at all with lua and scripts... Will love to try it out once you're done/testing! Good luck!

Thanks for the replies. Sorry for the delayed response, I just noticed your replies and have been having trouble connecting to the forum today for some reason... Took over 7 min. to get to this point being able to reply... Can't be related to the loadouts as placing the helos on another airfield works just fine. As I said, it's my own sandbox mission that I created long ago and have been adding to and tweaking over the past few months. I have Mist, CTLD and Automan scripts running in it. Trying to learn about this lua stuff but it's very slow going for this aging brain. Why? Any leads from what you've seen/posted? Thanks again.

Yeah, kind of hard to see it if you flying by in a jet.

Anyone actually able to replicate this or is it just me? EDIT: Well, it is obviously me/my mission. Just created a new one using Kutaisi and the Mi-8 and nothing else and it works... Not sure what's up with my sandbox mission where only the Huey and Mi-8 CTD when trying to take off from Kutaisi... I looked in the log file but couldn't see anything obvious to this untrained eye... If this continues with the release version I'll have to change up the mission and start using another airfield for those helos.

Okay, I have some more info. It seems that not only does the Mi-8 CTD when trying to fly out of Kutaisi but the Huey does also! the reason I didn't realize this before was because I chose two other slots that had the Huey and they are not at Kutaisi. When I tried the slot at Kutaisi (Park 1) it CTD. So I tried putting the Mi-8 at another field (Senaki-Kolki) it worked just fine. Something at Kutaisi prevents these two helos from working. They are parked at Park 1 and 6, I didn't try other areas of Kutaisi yet. EDIT: Oh yeah, forgot to mention that of course the Gazelle doesn't work anywhere as that didn't get the proper code before the beta went live so that's normal. EDIT#2: Tried several other parking places, 13, 21, 55, and they all CTD.

Thanks for the reply. I've attached the files here. Reading this, I tried a training mission and a single mission and they both launched without issue. I then tried 3 different versions of the mission I was trying previously and each one CTD as soon as I clicked on start... I made sure to save and exit out before attempting the missions so they would be compatible with the new version. All my other modules work within these missions, just not the Mi-8. Very odd. Thanks again for looking at the logs. Before hitting submit I decided to look at the logs myself and see that nothing has been generated with this crash so obviously the logs won't tell you a darn thing... :( So I'm not going to bother posting them, unless you still think there might be something there of use. Wait, just remembered that screenshots for the beta show up in the release version folder... so maybe the logs are there? Looked and they are! Attaching that folder now. Logs.zip

As the subject says. Just tried the Mi-8 out in a mission I have made for myself and clicking on the Start button causes the game to CTD every time. Known issue and I'm late to the party once again or is it just me? Looked here and didn't see anything about it. Thanks.

Quite true, forgot to add that part...

My pleasure.:thumbup:

All skins go into this folder: X:\DCS World\CoreMods\aircraft\SA342\Liveries With "X" being the drive you have your game installed on. If there are new textures being included with the skin, they would go here: X:\DCS World\CoreMods\aircraft\SA342\Textures If you want them in your Open Beta install or the Alpha install just substitute the main folder with the appropriate one. Hope that helps you. EDIT: Oh yeah, welcome to the forums!

Here's everything you need to know, right from '"the horses mouth": https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/products/world/

Loving the new lighting effects!

That was it! Thanks again. It seems the change that was made was to make it a toggle instead of requiring you to hold down the Alt key to pan around while in F2 view. Glad to see my brain hasn't deteriorated that far yet... :D

Thanks mate, I'll give it a shot shortly. I only remember having to hold down the alt key once in F2 view while moving the mouse to alter the view in free camera mode...

Thanks for the reply. Shift+F2 will get you an external view of another friendly plane. If you mean get into F2, then press the Shift key (if that's the key) while moving the view with the mouse, that's what I'm talking about. But I can't get it to work anymore for some reason. :( Wondering if adding some of the VR stuff or new planes' keys additions, for example, caused this to be altered some how... I miss it. :cry:

Okay, I'm probably having a senior moment right now but I would swear we were able to go into external view (F2) and then use the Shift or Control or Alt key while moving the mouse to alter the angle of the external view to make screen shots more customized. I no longer seem to be able to do this. Am I mixing up my games? Having a senior moment? Just way off base? Or has something changed where we can no longer do this or I need to find some other key combo to do it? Thanks for any help you can give this aging brain...

Thanks, Chump (love the handle!), I just came from there and saw that for myself...:doh: Should have gone there first to look for issues before posting mine... Live and learn... hopefully! :D

Ok, I should have looked in this section before posting my issue in the other area I did...:doh: Off to go delete that thread...

Oh crap! I just posted a thread asking for help as I can't get to fly my Gazelle in 1.5.5, it's like I don't have the module installed. So I'm to understand that this is a problem with ED not getting your updated code in time before release? So this is "normal" and I don't have to continue smashing my head against the wall trying to figure out what is wrong? Thanks.

Installed the 1.5.5 update to my open beta install and have been enjoying flying the Hawk and F-5. Tonight I decided I was in need of some helo action and fired up a mission I use and jumped in the slot and started the game. I'm then placed in an external view of one of the other AI planes I have in the mission... Tried again, same thing. tried another Gazelle I have in the mission, same thing. Try to reactivate the module, same thing. tried the first two training missions of the Gazelle and am greeted with the F-10 map when I start the training mission... All my other modules work like they are supposed to. I've done absolutely no changes to my computer hardware or software, just installed this update. Not sure what to try now as I've never encountered this type of problem before. Any ideas what I need to do to get my lovely Gazelle back in my hanger? Thanks for any help/ideas you can give!:helpsmilie:

Well, my work day is now just about finished. Fortunately, I work from home so the patch should have finished installing by now and I'll be good to go in about 10 min. See you guys in a few days! :pilotfly::joystick:
