Just updated BIOS did not fix the issue for me. DCS is not being run as admin. Latest log attached. The game worked for a second and i was able to hit the settings button and load the settings menu before it completely locked up on me. Haven't had any major performance/Crash issues in DCS for several years now. Definitely something to do with the last major update. dcs.log

Ive had this same issue since the second to last update as well. DCS log analyzer can't find any showstoppers. Driving me up the wall. dcs.log

As I stated in my first post I'm not running it in admin mode and I checked both places where that could be on. Core parking has been disabled on my PC for a while now. It's definitely a new bug that has been introduced, for some background I haven't had a straight up crash with DCS in years, and now I can't get past the main menu without it completely locking up. I meet all the system requirements for high graphics settings. I typically have 60 - 80 FPS. So I definitely think something got borked by the last major patch.

I'm having Major Performance issues with this latest patch, game freezes and stops the whole PC, Multiple cores pegged at 100 percent. I've tried a quick and slow repair made sure my drivers are updated, renamed my saved games folder, deleted all mods, made sure I'm not running in admin, deleated FXO and metashaders2, checked that hotplug is disabled, all the usual suspects. Please fix, DCS has been running smoothly for me for the last couple years. Whatever was introduced in the last two patches has made the game highly unstable. At this point the game completely freezes my PC on startup, and I can't get past the main menu. I can't even post crash logs because DCS doesn't think it crashed. I have to hard reset my computer.

I tried the save feature on a custom mission in the middle of the mission airborne at 30k ft going mach 1 and when I loaded up the save it respawned me on the ground cold and dark at a completely different airfield. What did I do wrong?

This discussion is both pointless and off topic as ED has already made multiple statements on what weapons are going to be included.

They have to be the same shape for LO characteristics to work on all three variants. That was kinda the whole point of designing one aircraft family instead of three discrete ones. I don't think it will be very hard for ED to plug in new dimensions for their CFD sim of it.

I don't imagine it's wildly different. In fact they have the exact same shape just in different sizes and proportions. Not like one is piper cub and the other is a B-52.

I'd say chances are high since it says its already mentioned as a possibility in the FAQ. The PVI is intentionally similar across all three variants so no need to re-invent the wheel with the cockpit and systems, and CFD can be used for major Flight model adjustments, Same power plant. I'd be really interested to see how the F-35C handles in BFM, Both on its own and in comparison to the F-35A. I Suppose the finer details would be in how/and where the FCS logic differs from the CTOL version beyond the obvious like 7.5Gs instead of 9 but specifically the high AOA regime and slow speed handling. The gun pod would be interesting to work with as well. Seeing the effect the big wings have on range would be cool too. Advanced features like the magic carpet should make it very easy around the boat.

Seems like your trying to jam up this thread.

Well you can't actually go STT without first entering a TWS mode in the real F-15. The exception being ACM modes. So yes it's first or primary mode when initiating an attack at BVR ranges.

So your wondering if NATO fighters can stop their own jammers? Pretty sure they can since they built them, and use them. ECCM is a Signal intelligence problem. So all they have to do is analyze those singles in a controlled environment and come up with a counter which they will have had to do to build them in the first place. So they probably would have an even better time against those systems compared completely foreign ones they may or may not have had a chance to see actually working. I definitely would expect EF-2000/F-35 suites to be more effective and cause more issues over contemporary aircraft like F-16/18 simply because they are newer and more powerful, I've heard claims the F-35s Electronic Attack modes can rival those of a dedicated EW aircraft.

What kind of jamming? How powerful? Surly bolt on self protection suites from the 1980s shouldn't do too well against a modern 2010s radar. Again F-15C has multiple ECCM modes. Specifically to counter jamming.

Yeah definitely. I hope they include things like optional luneburg lens so we can at least tone the stealth down for some scenarios. But it will be a challenge to make situations that challenge the lightning for sure. Lol Also if we get a eurofighter model with a modern IRST system that might have a shot at spotting the F-35 before it crushes everything, and of course F-35 vs F-35 might be interesting. But against anything else in the sim at BVR it's goodnight. Personally I look forward to dogfighting with it. Apparently in the few instances where the F-35 was actually defeated at Red flag most or all occurred in WVR when someone managed to merge with one. You will have the occasional dummy that makes a critical mistake like not flying at the correct angles to maintain stealth or going bonzi at Winchester. Also flying other aircraft under F-35 threat could be fun and scary with some creative mission building.

So it's both possible to operate in complete emcon by engaging on DL only tracks from only off board sensors, meaning you can shoot at a DL only contact and still have Amraam loft and get reasonably High Pk, Fourth Gen fighters like the hornet can already do that, and so can the F-35 it also has passive sensors like DAS, and ETOS that can detect IR/Optical tracks at BVR ranges completely passively Number one. But number two the AESA radar is Also LPI so you will likely be able to use the radar in search and track modes modes that may not trigger RWRs or at least before the Missile's does. In any case lo observables mean more then just the shape of the jet and RAM application the jet is designed to fight undetected.
