This rings a bell. Try the community VA. It's 2.8 compatible.

It looks like your release version is not up-to-date. Your should do this update indeed.

{ "WARNING": "DO NOT EDIT this file. You may break your install!", "branch": "release", "version": "2.7.17.29493",  

Thanks for the track. 👍
Issue reported.

Run a DCS repair.

Yes, it did. I tested the fix and I could not reproduce the issue. I'm looking forward to reading your feedback.

Hi! No, there is no such thing as aircraft-state persistence between game sessions in DCS. I think it's either caused by a conflicting button or axis, or some broken game files.
First things first, does the autostart procedure works for you? (RWin + Home)
Either way, please reproduce the issue, exit the mission, save the track and attach it here.

Thank you, that was quick! Look no further:
2022-12-22 20:28:11.980 INFO APP (Main): CPU cores: 8, threads: 8, System RAM: 32710 MB, Pagefile: 0 MB You have no pagefile, and DCS hates it.
Try this: System  > Advanced system settings > Advanced tab > Performance Settings... > Advanced  tab > Change... > Tick "Automatically manage paging filesize for all drives" > OK
If this does not work, we'll set a manual 32 GB pagefile.

Fixed in today's OB update.

Good catch, @janitha2!
Issue reported.

Hi. It seems changes were implemened in yesterday's update. 👇

It's not a bug. If you want the English ABRIS: Options >Gameplay > Avionics Laguage.

Hi. A texture seems to be damaged:

@scoobie What is this "Sounds" folder doing in your "Saved Games/DCS" folder? Try renaming it to "Sounds_bak" so DCS cannot find it. Does it solve your issue?

Does the game crash if you rename your "Saved Games/DCS..." folder?

I tried: it's the same on my end. It seems that, fo all maps, the rose gets centered on the map X,Y {0,0}. It's OK for Caucasus (centered on Crimed, one can still grab it) but it's not in Nevada.
Issue reported. Thanks for the heads up. 👍

The game relies on .NET packages. All needed packages are stored in /DCS World.../distr/. If in doubt, you can run the two .exe files ("vcredist_x64.exe" and "vc_redist.x64.exe").

Your crash seems to happens during shader compiling. Try emptying your "fxo" and "metashaders2" folders.

If this does not work, try a DCS repair.

The issue was reported internally. 👍

Current fog is a remnant of DCS 2.5. It will be replaced someday. In the meantime, it is not recommended to use it.
 

It's working as intended:
 

@Ian Boys UK I cannot reproduce this anymore in current OB. Can you please confirm the issue is gone?

Hi. It seems that one of your sim shaker script is causing this (look at the last lines below):

First things first:
Go to "Saved Games/DCS.../Scripts". Rename "Export.lua"to "Export.lua.bak". Ensure the problem is gone. If my diagnosis is correct, you should ask for help in the Sim Shaker thread.

Well, if you want RAZBAM to realize how important that is to MP players, the best way is to post on their own subforum.

Thanks for the heads up. Issue reported. 👍

Well, there's a good chance they're the cause of your freeze. The good news is, a fix is coming in the next OB update.
