I was thinking... and that rarely ends up well :) How cool would be if SR could play TopGun theme and similar music on specific channel :D

This does not make much sense. Kh-58U is anti-radiation missile, not anti-ship missile. Problem is that according some available public specifications, Kh-58U has varied range depending on altitude fired. Some specification confirm capability of Kh-58U of hitting targets from 100 km or even 200 km range, but altitude of 10.000 m MSL remains as one of key requirements to achieve such range In my test, altitude played no factor in changing the range of Kh-58U. Now while it is entirely possible that modeled version is one that has 250 km range, it would be very good that encyclopedia give more precise data and not misleading information. Or at least that it clearly states range for specific altitude if it varies. Have in mind that this range in excess of 70 km is only achieved if you use LA override, so by default it's telling you you're going to fire outside of range. So something is not quite right.

I can totally relate to that. I've said to myself, I'm not getting any new air frames until I know I can enjoy them. Maybe I have a lot in hindsight and it's just around a corner but I feel real need that ED rolls out a stable platform as said in this discussion. I'm saying that from flying experience but also as mission maker that gets Heebie-jeebies when I think of Friday and new update. It's just tears me apart :cry: when I find out that event that I have scheduled with the squadron and mission we were supposed to fly is in some part "broken" and I have to fix it in rush. This makes running our communities hard... and I think we're doing proxy work for ED by maintaining communities. New members often start off with 25T and then they go and buy new models as they see that within a community they can do much more then just 1 aircraft... and this is where mission making is quite important. Also I understand ED. They have to live out of something. DCS is free and if they don't roll our all the nice and shiny new air-frames, how to finance development that are main priority, not to say something that may be marginal importance at this point, and it well could be AI, or mission editor, or what not... (and something will always be marginal) Maybe a good crowd funding campaign would help develop things that are considered marginal by ED atm, but important by members. :huh:

Same problem latest logs Logs.zip

Quick update: The hit from post above was from 1.000 m ASL. Later I shot from 180 km range and 196 km range from 2.500m ASL and score kills. Only thing that seam to prevent me from firing from greater distance is fact I don't get SAM signal from further distance. I've read so many different information on it's range from 160 km when fired from 15.000 m to 240 km when fired from 10.000 km ASL... In any case, in all above cases I fired missile way below 10.000 km, so it feels off. Also DCS encyclopedia states 70km range. Is there a way to find out real range of each missile within DCS if data in encyclopedia does not disclose all possibilities? Also, Kh-25MPU, does not have this capability, but I did not test how much over max range it could go.

Kh-58 has crazy range when fired in "Launch Override" mode. I just fired it from 156 km range and hit the target. :pilotfly: I noticed that before but never really tried to fire from that crazy range. Previously all overridden ranges were +10 / + 20 km above max range of 70 km, so I haven't been suspicious. I did not try it with Kh-25MPU, but I will and I will report. It's easy to reporoduce so I will not post tacview but if you need it, just let me know. In any case in this specific attempt, Kh-58 climbed to 14.000 m AGL before starting descent to target. If this is a bug, this gives huge advantage to players that exploit it and I did not see that it was discussed previously in SU-25T issues.

I usually don't engage in such discussions, but given your tone.... I've read it and I still felt like making my point and I don't feel like I need your approval to post it. I think it looks bad when you can't list all your pay content and make sure you don't issue version that blocks something that was paid for. It's just bad business...like selling car without a wheels would be. Cash paid for content did not come with partial payment clause with full release upon final version of the game.

Reason for my integrity check failure: mods/campaigns/a-10c - basic flight training qualification/dcs_manifest.x86_64 mods/campaigns/su-27 - the ultimate argument/dcs_manifest.x86_64 Paid DLC content = cheat. Nice logic!

Hey guys, Sign me up with TAW team. Blue side, P-51D Nick: TAW_SeraphimGray

And here we go again: On 1.2.16 standalone I again get "Can't connect to Master" On 1.5. steam version I get: "No internet connection" This time, I will not de-install / repair / my Bitdefender AV, I will simply report when this problem fixes itself. It happened before that problem was fixed even if I did not do any change and I expect it will again. Both logs attached. Logs 1.2.16.zip Logs 1.5.zip

Ok, so I upgraded the damn Bitdefender to version 2016. Considering reinstall, problem is fixed. I'll let you know if it happens again, in anybody wants to look into it. I truly hope Bitdefender fixed it on their end.

Ok, I was checking update history for Bitdefender and there were multiple updates, none of which triggered this as I played with no problem yesterday. There was windows update and I start to suspect that is most likely the trigger for this error. I had similar problem in v.1.2.16, but then I dismissed possibility that windows update was reason for this or fixing it. Considering I have Steam v.1.5. and standalone v1.2.16. I can confirm that both are affected. In 1.2.16, I get error "can't connect to master". And honestly back in days when 1.5. was not launched, this "can't connect to master" was driving me crazy as it appeared and fixed itself. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=147683 Now, as addition, Win Update seems to be affected by Bitdefender as I experience problem where WinUpdate setting is constantly reset to "don't check for downloads". http://forum.bitdefender.com/lofiversion/index.php/t55026.html Best way to describe this is... damn furball. I'll try to "repair" bitdefender, see how it goes and I'll contact their support.

Thanks for advice. Next year when my licence expires, I will look for better solution (and hurray, I will save money.) Basically, problem again repeats itself. As said, I'm using BITDEFENDER TOTAL SECURITY 2015. and personally I feel that DCS should check and allow to users of Bitdefender to make it to multiplayer. I understand it's not only DCS issue, but Bitdefender also. Now trust me this is only game that has this incompatibility... so considering my spending on DCS DLC's it would be nice to see a move from their side as well. So it after I reinstalled Bitdefender, my happiness lasted only 4 days. I guess DCS worked until first bigger Bitdefender update. Honestly, I don't intend to reinstall it again, it's a pain in the neck. Which also means, I will not be buying new DCS DLC's very soon. I hope that DCS cares about happiness of poor sods that have Bitdefender as security solution. At least now source of problem is clear as I see other guy also has the same suite.

Bitdefender reinstalled, and I can log-in to multiplayer... question is for how long...:noexpression:

This solved the problem. I'm currently running without Bitdefender TS 2015, and I was able to log-in to multiplayer. I'm happy that it's solved, but I'm wondering how this occurs? I tested multiplayer on other games today and it worked ok. It is very strange that in DCS I'm able to connect to multiplayer with Bitdefender TS 2015 with maximum security settings, just up to some point when it breaks down. I had same issue with 1.2.16. and as you can see it got randomly fixed without me removing Bitdefender. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=147683 DCS should investigate what is causing this problem as I will not deinstall AV/FW software it every time this happens. If I had problems with other multiplayer games, I would suspect problem is originating in Bitdefender. I hope case closed, but DCS should check this up. Now reinstalling Bitdefender and then I'll report how it goes.

Hi BitMaster! First of all thanks for taking time to read and not giving me generic/random solution. As you can see in my first post, I went into details with describing status and I did most of standard stuff that is usually recommended. Also I wanted to make special attention to explain that it is not problem with my firewall or router. to skip usual advice: open ports, rename to dcs.openbeta etc... Considering DCS 1.5. multiplayer worked all right just 2 days ago it is very strange that problem should be on my end. Considering it's open beta, bug problem is a viable possibility. I'll try to answer your questions in order: 1. Firewall is software - Bitdefender Total Security 2015. Router is standard home user device. THOMSON brand, nothing special with nothing special firewall and intrusion detection enabled. 2. Reason why I ever went into lengths to open ports is that because if I don't do it and show it's set, I would never get another advice or solution. Everybody presumes you don't know how to set it up and dismiss the problem. This includes DCS official support, I send them ticket from my profile. I sent them image of ports opened in first msg and they still gave me generic response to check my ports. :glare: Related to Port Forward Trigger vs Port Forwarding, this is definitely not the case. Triggers are not set, although you can see in screenshot that there seams to be option to set triggers on ports. In previous attachment are all ports that I opened for DCS, that have actually been advised by DCS support either directly to me in ticket, or here on forums. Now, I will delete all port forwarding, and leave only ones you said - 80, 443, 5222, 10308 I know that shutting down firewall does not shut it down completely, but my starting point is that if it worked yesterday with full firewall options on, then today not working is not due to the firewall. I will in lack of other solutions I will also try complete uninstall of firewall. Before doing all that, I will simply try to reset my connection to internet. Who knows...

Ok, added a separate line for 10308 TCP/UDP on router. Now port-forwarder shows that it is opened. :glare: But...it didn't help a thing... problem still remains. :badmood:

Ok, i tested ports, namely 10308. Now can anyone explain to me, how is it possible that I have UDP 10308 opened on router and assigned to DCS, but it is not opened when I test it with port-forwarder?! :helpsmilie: I thought at least in IT there are some rules that apply without exception. :shocking: I'll try to add it in separate line and if that does not work, I'm going to sit in my car, drive 300 km to ISP HQ and I'm gonna beat the **** out of somebody. :mad: :chair:

Thanks Viking. Unfortunately it did not help. :(

No problem, I actually already did it overnight. Did not help. By deleting local files you mean in ...\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld ?

Hi thanks for quick response! Attached router settings for DCS. Port was already added, because I had random "can't connect to master problems" in 1.2.16. I even called ISP to confirm they don't block any traffic. It's not AV / firewall issue, tested it with fully turned-off. Besides it worked on same settings yesterday and there were no conflicts with AV / FW. I use Bitdefender Total Security 2015. for that purpose. Already tried to rename to DCS.openbeta - did not help Logs attached Logs.zip

Let me add that game absolutely does not care if I purposely type wrong password. Still gives exactly the same errors.
