I wholeheartedly support this. Very useful feature. I most often would be sort of plane type.

"ERROR WRADIO: CommandDialogsPanel" is a companion error message (Kuznetsov menu empty state) The main error is the nosedive to the sea when ground collision avoidance mode is on. UVOD don't let you to crash to the sea, instead crash to the desktop. :-( Easy fast reproduction is carrier takeoff time: turn on ground collision avoidance switch before rolling, immediately after takeoff command flaps up + gears up, that never will happen Or takeoff form Sochi with the system on, gear up over land, over the sea initiate a nosedive. EDIT: not just over sea, In the test mission try a nosedive around Mozdok lowaltOverSeaCTD.dcslog.txt.zip Su-33 - toff.miz

for me with openbeta now @NineLine 65 server is a very low number, do you suffer from incomplete serverlist? 415 for me at first load: 413 for me at second load Pings should be in listing time around 50ms for Hungarian servers. Is it possible to aware developers to the problem? Not every user able to withstand difficulties with gameplay, they just leave DCS multiplayer silently, they not even has an account on ED forums. This will be true about the forthcoming MAC's serverlist, a lot of new person will be try the serverlist with a wide variety of unsupported cable modems. Maybe worth to prepare for worst case scenario: to not loosing possible players.

Silent CTD in prepare mission mode lightweight Su-33 night carrier landing practice mission. With one carrier hot start plane, after 6 landing events. I was on Return mode at the time of the CTD, maybe the auto transition to Landing mode made the crash. I practiced IFR, with HUD replicator mode on HDD. And last but not least: Ground collision avoidance mode was ON for the last pass only. dcs.log.ERROR_WRADIO_CommandDialogsPanel_RadioCommandDialogsPanel.onMsgStart_error.txt

More info At least one guy experiencing crazy high pings in the Hungarian ISP:UPC cable modem called "ConnectBox". My hardware version: 5.01 Standard: DOCSIS 3.0 Software: CH7465LG-NCIP-6.12.18.24-5p4-NOSH DCS handle badly this newest modem since I replaced the worse handled: incomplete serverlist one. Before the modem change listed pings was real. (Old modem was "Ubee EVW3226") For numerous Hungarian players serverlist is incomplete and those guys not have modem upgrade option, they depend of the goodwill of ED.

@DirkLarien This thread is more precise to your problem: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=242448 (Communication menu missing in 2.5.5 OB) This thread about comm menu [disappearing/damaging partially] during gameplay. A possible solve to your problem is a fresh Config folder in saved games. You not posted any dcs.logs with error messages. Reverting to 2.5.4 rewritten many files, make sure your SSD is healthy. Especially if only DCS stored on that SSD.

Bug is random but happen often since the release of the TGP to Hornet. You must spend at least one full A-G loadout then rearm to GBU-12s. Once happen after a full GBU-12 loadout, but every other occurences happen after a full AGM-154C loadout. When happening happening in this way: Auto release mode count down to release moment, then before it reaches 0 you push and hold weapon release, weapon release immediately before 0, possible to make more releases before 0, there is no TTI in this case I attached singleplayer and multiplayer tracks. The singleplayer track is a take control one, on the runway after rearm to GBU-12s plane move a bit, that is the time to take control. Track recorded with earlier build but replayable with 2.5.5.34864.

2.5.5.34864 To Commandmenu.MenuCaption replay this track to 8h 53m in simulation time (acceleration works until this time, but not to the end), just after the carrier takeoff https://drive.google.com/open?id=1wgDyI4lNFtJWaEalVwDmgiNMioRR1GFN (RED_vs_BLUE_1.5.4-20190825-203006_CommandMenu.menuCaption-su33.trk) (You can examine water flickering bug too from the cockpit.)

Today my DCS got a new dedicated SSD I replaced the failing one. The 2.5.5 update was so huge, many files written to our SSDs into new physical locations. Sometimes in my case to bad locations. Updater/repair tool happily write all files without verify (verify with skipping cache) Some files was unreadable, consistently. Since months there was traces in event viewer (windows/ system), that is dismissed. Crash time always good to see the event viewer. What is your hardware health status? Since posting to here anyone else changed SSD/ tired out of chrashes and fails/reinstalls? edit: The method I was used to test my freshly updated/repaired DCS install: tried to copy with my favourite file manager the whole dcs install to hard drive. I needed to skip numerous files due I/O error during the copy operation.

The trim algorithm of the DCS SSD extended the usage period before warranty replacement. revert to 2.5.4 caused a lot of damaged file deletes and new writes to new physical area.

Maybe your SSD's trim algorithm found a good place for the newly written files.

The DCS SSD going for warranty replacement......... When a freshly repaired DCS install crash often try to make a copy of the full installation to make sure all files are readable. Make sure not happening I/O error on [game crash/test copy] time on Windows System log. (source: disk; level: warning)

multiplayer as client IL78M and Su-33 there are desync between drogue optical/mechanical: intent to refuel -> all 3 drogue deployed optically but not connectable until clear contact

Please try to take control on the runway, and leave throttles at MIL power restrict setting as in the track. And lift plane up gently with high speed. Because for me that is worked, take control worked. I not installed any mods. And my DCS is freshly repaired now.

replayable track, 14 minutes of simulation To examine "CommandMenu.menuCaption" behaviour TAKE CONTROL the su-33 after the second intended takeoff. (Intended with hook down.) Because in replay you can change external views with function keys without modification keys. At the final stage of su-33 flight you can see externally via CTRL+F2. (If you not take control and not move the mouse etc) What is hard in this, you unable to use F1 to back to internal view! At track ending J-11A spawn reseted the menu. (Replay worked for me with acceleration.) edit: hook state doesn't matter, I take control after successful land, and take off immediately, dead menu popped up automatically. 2,5,5,34644_CommandMenu,menuCaption_su33.trk 2,5,5,34644_CommandMenu,menuCaption_su33.log.txt

second case solved by this: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=247779 because in MP and SP with 2000m ASL altitude for WP1 caused the misses So left the first case: sometimes no TTI at all

welcome newbies NWS is working as not intended when used as not intended. The bad side is the coders allowed the misuse since many years. When you start engines in electronics off mode (not press RSHIFT+L in cold state) NWS is on only for electronics off mode. When you turn on electronics with running engines NWS is off. (despite the cockpit light lie) When you turn off electronics again NWS goes on. swapped. Maybe before Modern Air Combat release this will be fixed. edit: please exit from DCS after replaying this track, because FORCE game flight mode that accidentally left on game options because of other experiment; but that is another bug 2,5,5,34644_A10A_NWsteering_engaged_when_electronics_OFF.trk

Unfortunately because I've done the same routine, that menas no track; prepare mission mode. But time can tell, next time with track mode i will attach to here. Problem resides since 8 updates ago. Edit: previously i'm unable to report it because every time happened in MP mode, MP tracks was very long

Good luck to the comm menu I tried to done again the same routine: 8 updates and still reducating menu to "CommandMenu.menuCaption" in Su-33 in carrier operations.
