Would love to see the silver shiny US AirForce skin. Just in case the creatives here need some inspiration.

don't think 16GB of RAM makes any difference, DCS plus Windows plus all other programs running in the background use only 5.7GB of my 8GB. Free resources (CPU, GPU and RAM) are available on my computer but DCS does not seem to be able to make use of it:( Which makes me think DCS would scale really badly if I were to throw in more RAM and a better GPU

And the Oscars goes to SeaQuark! Amazing job!!

Is it only me or is it very hard to get a radar lock on a target even within 5nm? Usually I have to move back to search mode multiple times and by the time I am getting a successful lock the target is within visual range. What is your experience?

It is more noticeable in low flight, but not necessarily related to an airport. If I fly high up e.g. @20,000 the GPU is utilised much better therefore FPS is between 60 and 120 It is really unusual to see an FPS drop without having a clear bottle neck. Looks like a quirk of the engine to me.

8GB DDR3@1600Mhz, only about 5.7GB are utilized while playing DCS

Hi, I have a strange problem. My FPS is dropping down to as low as 30 even though CPU and GPU is not maxed out, CPU and GPU are sitting around 50 to 60%, see screenshot attached. I have "Full Screen ON" ticked in the system setting Hardware spec: GTX 960 2GB i3 4160@3.6GHz Running it from a Samsung SSD 850v Evo I have never seen this in any other game before, drops are usually caused by GPU maxing out or in rare occasion by a maxing out CPU. Thanks, Renato

I have just spend quite some time trying to get the radar gunsight working in order to get the lead calculated. It does not seem to work at all. I have used different radar modes and A/A1 and A/A2, no success:( Is this confirmed as an open bug? You would expect it should work as least as good as in the F-86

Thanks for the tip. Updated to the latest version with bin/DCS_updater.exe. Unfortunately the game still crashes on the start up with "The application was unable to start correctly (0x000007b). It looks like the issue which caused the game to crash has not been fixed:(

Unfortunately the Version I have installed (belief it is 1.5.0.45208) downloaded from official website does not work for me, it crashes on the startup. I have installed it 4 weeks ago. Looking for a newer version with the hope the issue I am facing has been fixed I came across http://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com. On this site 1.5.0.46175.67 is listed as latest version but the download link points back to http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/beta/ which has still the version 1.5.0.4520. Where do I get the latest version Is there also a list with all the released patch versions with some release notes? I am afraid I cannot my installation since it does not start up at all. Thanks

@bazarebro: Was DCS 1.5 crashing with the message "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" or did you have the dll-missing error?

The game still does not start. As described facing "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" It looks like not even the folder Saved Games\DCS.openbeta is created

I started with a fresh Windows 10 Home 64 Bit and installed only what is absolutely needed to run the game. No anti virus installed at the moment.

Thanks for the reply! There is no folder DCS.openbeta in my Saved Games folder. I have only Saved Games\DCS which looks like it is from my 1.2.16 Steam installation. Is this folder created on the first start up? If so it looks like the game crashes before it creates this folder.

Does anybody from ED actually read these threads? If not what is the purpose of an open beta if nobody from ED is responding to reported problem. I do understand it is an open beta and there will be plenty of bugs but not even starting up is very disappointing:(

I had a look at http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=148742. I do not think that helps since the symptoms are quite different.

I have even reinstalled windows from scratch, no success. All the servers I have been playing on disappeared, presumably updated to 1.5. The entire DCS is kind of useless to me at the moment after spending all the money on modules:( Please fix this Eagle Dynamics!

I have installed vcredist_x86.exe first but then I realised I need the vcredist_x64.exe. It looks like I have had installed both. I uninstalled both and then only installed the 64-bit version. Still the same error:(

I did not overclock my GPU either, I know the OC version are overclocked out of the box. I could try to reduce the clock back to a non OC level, but to be honest I do not think this is the problem. Any idea where I find the dcs logs?

The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b) I a facing the error "The application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b)" on startup. I am trying to run it on a fresh installation of Windows 10 Home 64bit. I am using the latest Nvidia driver 10.18.13.5599. I tried the Steam version and the version downloaded on http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world. I also installed Microsoft Visual C++ 210 Redistributable. Nothing helped. My Spec: i3-4160 Gigabyte GeForce GTX 960 OC 2GB AS Roc H81M-ITX Samsung 850 I have installed it multiple times, and there is there is nothing installed on my machine beside DCS. I could not located any log files. I have no idea what could solve the issue. Any idea?

I did install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013 and I can see the msvcr120.dll in Windows\SysWOW64 but I am still getting the error. I have uninstalled and reinstalled C++ Redistributable Package several time, still getting the error. Any ideas? I am running a fresh installation of Windows 10 Home.

Same here, I tried installing the 1.5 Open Beta via the DCS Updater, The Updater crashes as soon as the download starts. I went back to steam and updated my existing 1.2.16 version 1.5 Open Beta. It does crash as well. No my DCS 1.2.16 I broken:( Guess I need to reinstall it. Here the crash reports: DCS Updater Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: DCS_updater.exe Application Version: 2.5.2.1 Application Timestamp: 560cfb9a Fault Module Name: DCS_updater.exe Fault Module Version: 2.5.2.1 Fault Module Timestamp: 560cfb9a Exception Code: c000001d Exception Offset: 000000000013e360 OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 5d85 Additional Information 2: 5d858ca6f7041a941381876d32795b48 Additional Information 3: ab90 Additional Information 4: ab9096452fdb33cb488a7812634138eb Lauchning the Steam Installation Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: DCS.exe Application Version: 1.5.0.45208 Application Timestamp: 560e60b2 Fault Module Name: MSVCR120.dll Fault Module Version: 12.0.21005.1 Fault Module Timestamp: 524f83ff Exception Code: c000001d Exception Offset: 000000000008ca90 OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 4360 Additional Information 2: 43602ea9ace0b575a7f16a4c00554ce9 Additional Information 3: 14fe Additional Information 4: 14fee2782bbb4988cdf6abfd7c2d0ad5

I finally managed to get the Open Beta from Steam. Unfortunately it does crash if I launch it from Steam, same result if i try to start it directly by double clicking on C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\DCSWorld\bin. I ran "VERIFY INTEGRITY OF GAME CACHE" in steam, it reacquired two files, but same result. A also deleted the DCS folder in Saved Games. Did not help. I am getting a Windows (Windows 7) pop up with this error details: Problem signature: Problem Event Name: APPCRASH Application Name: DCS.exe Application Version: 1.5.0.45208 Application Timestamp: 560e60b2 Fault Module Name: MSVCR120.dll Fault Module Version: 12.0.21005.1 Fault Module Timestamp: 524f83ff Exception Code: c000001d Exception Offset: 000000000008ca90 OS Version: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1 Locale ID: 1033 Additional Information 1: 4360 Additional Information 2: 43602ea9ace0b575a7f16a4c00554ce9 Additional Information 3: 14fe Additional Information 4: 14fee2782bbb4988cdf6abfd7c2d0ad5 Any ideas? Thanks, Cebo

Open Beta on Steam How did you find the Open Beta on Steam? I opted in for Open Betas changing the settings on steam like described here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=182912431 I was not able to find DCS Open Beta on stream. Do you have a link to it? Thanks, Cebo
