Cool! Thanks for your feedback. 👍

Hey, it looks llike a GPU crash ("nvwgf2umx.dll" is from Nvidia):

I see you'ree using the latest version - 466.63.
Try uninstalling your Nvidia driver using DDU, then reinstall it.

I don't see anything abnormal in yor log, but it isn't complete. I guess the forum has cut it in half because it was too long.  You can drag-and-drop the log file in order to attach it.
 
Maybe your antivirus software is blocking the DCS updater. Add this folder as an exception in your antivirus software:
 
C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\

I wasn't sure about this solution since I couldn't find the "error 500" message in your log.
 
I've never seen anything like this:

Please try a "slow" DCS repair.
You can also try to log out of the game, then log in again.

Hi. It happens sometimes with the downloading of this specific file. I have no idea why but I know how to get you out of there.
Simply delete this file:
 
C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta Server\_downloads\Mods/terrains/Caucasus/Surface/Caucasus.surface5  
The updater will then re-download it and you'll be fine.

Hi. Are these options ticked in your Audio settings?
 

Ensure this option is disabled. 😉
 

DCS will notice the absence of a "DCS" folder, and will create a brand new one with default settings and default controls.
If your problem gets solved, you'll then have to copy your controls into the new folder.

Right click the Windows clock (bottom right) and select "Ajust Date and Time". First ensure the time is synchronized. Then ensure the timezone is correct.
Still no joy? Then try this.

I'm not a genius, it's just that I've seen similar cases before. 😄

Yes, you can move your DCS installation to another drive, it works.
Copy (do NOT cut) the main folder \DCS World\ (or \DCS World OpenBeta\ ) into your 1 TB HDD. Change your DCS icons properties so they reach the new location. Launch DCS. Test SP and MP and ensure your disk is fast enough (DCS does a lot of file access during a flight). If you're happy with the performance, delete the former folder from your SSD. Most important thing : you do NOT want to mess with this folder: C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS (or DCS.openbeta). Leave it in place so DCS can find it.

Add these folders as exceptions to your antivirus. It helped me reduce the loading time by 70%:
C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS\ (or DCS.openbeta) \DCS World\ (or \DCS World OpenBeta\)

Because you don't get the dreaded E_OUTOFMEMORY crashlog. Your issue probably comes from the mods you use. Most of them are not 2.7 compatible at this time. Try uninstalling them.
 
Hi @kadams587. Is your pagefile size static or automatically manaegd by Windows? If it's static, try ticking "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives". If it's already automatically managed, try manually setting it to a minimum/maximum of 32 GB (enter value 32768).

Hi @Camocat8. You need the Combined Arms module to join as Tactical Commander.

You're welcome. I see your "Main audio out" and "Headphones" devices are different. Try setting them both on the same device: can you hear the radio now?

@LEoxg142Please ensure this box is ticked
 

Hi @major.pain.ie. I think I know what's happening to you. The reason you didn't had the issue with the F-14 is that this aircraft has no "Game" mode. The F/A-18C has one.
 
Game  (a.k.a. easy) mode is an "arcade" mode allowing a user to start using DCS without much difficulty: less controls to remember, less complicated systems to shoot at something...
Sim mode is the "normal" mode.
 
Aircraft offering "Game" mode have two controls categories. See:
 

 
There are two possible causes to your issue:
you have set your controls in the wrong category (ie. you play "Sim" but you've mapped your controls in "Game"), you have ticked the "Game Avionics Mode" option.

Hi @BART64. The game is unable to find your graphics settings. This can be no good:
 
2021-03-09 23:51:32.872 INFO DCS: options.graphics = { };  
Get into your "Saved Games" folder and rename "DCS" as "DCS_backup". Then start your stable version: it will recreate a usable version of your DCS folder. In order to retrieve your custom controls, you'll need to copy-paste your DCS_backup\Config\Input folder into the equivalent new path.

Maybe the F10 / F1 transition is very demanding for DCS, I don't know.
 
I didn't mean your hardware was not OK, I mean DCS is not always OK with overclocking, and it often says so using the dreaded "DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED" error. Here's some info from Microsoft about this error. It would be great if ED could follow these guidelines so the log would be more precise.
 
If you're up for it, you can try this. Maybe if you add 1 or 2 seconds of timeout, the game will not crash when transitioning from F10 to F1.

Hi @sirrah.
 
About units getting stuck from the start: I can reproduce your issue. It seems some units don't work well together. Replace them all by a T-55 and they won't get stuck. I'll work a bit on this issue to try and understand what's wrong.
 
About your formation issue: if you want them to form a cone while driving towards WP1, you need to tell them that in WP0, and there it works.
 
units_stuck.trk

Hi @sirrah. You'll find them here: \DCS World...\FUI\
 

OK, thanks a lot. 👍
