    Missing AIM54 Pylons

    in Bugs and Problems

    Posted

    I know this is an ancient thread - I figured it's better to revive then start something new for the same topic. 

    Just confirming as there are many images of cats with 54's on their rear tunnel stations as well - is this something that is being worked on or will we have missing pylons there for the specific "block" of tomcat? 

    Random crashes in VR - Vanilla or Modded.

    Hey ED Team, 

    Great work on MT - Absolutely stunning first pass. I'm able to jam around in the tomcat on packed servers with mirrors on and not want to vomit in VR.

    However, hoping that this little thread helps in some way to diagnose the random crashes that I've been having. I've tried running Vanilla, I've tried running modded and they're totally random. The most recent was on decent back to the super carrier with 15 or so players in server, no maneuvering etc. 

    Steam VR will flash and then hang which of course means VR time is over, tried running without SteamVR just using OpenXR and the same thing - no rhyme or reason to it, sometimes it's 15 minutes, sometimes it's 30. 

    Track, Crash & DMP files attached.

    Scotch,

     

    I've looked at both lines and have previously removed "scriptmod" from the paths file. That's not the issue.

     

    The error isn't within the paths file - the error is within either of the following two files,

    UTIL_Functions.lua - Doesnt have a specific line specified

     

    but

     

     

    BAT_FirstMission.lua:43 is the following line:

    dofile("../../../ScriptsMod."..versionPackageICM.."/UTIL_Functions.lua")

     

    I've tried replacing /ScriptsMod." with the 20.xx.xx.xx as my current package is, but that doesn't seem to fix the problem either.

     

    Messed around and found a few things out of place within UTIL_Functions and the BAT first mission file.

     

    Successfully generated and ran through first missions, however, I get the following error when ending a mission:

     

     

    DCEError.thumb.png.6de14aa755290a1cbd639bee3d87c7dc.png

     

     

    Hey folks,

     

    This is an easy fix to make this work correctly. Navigate to, then open path.bat (the one where you set your installation paths) using Notepad++ or advanced text editor.

     

    Now, Line 8 looks like this:

     

    set "versionPackageICM=ScriptsMod.20.38.01"

     

    You need to delete: ScriptsMod.

     

    So, Line 8 should now look exactly like:

     

    set "versionPackageICM=20.38.01"

     

    The author mistakenly left those characters in, so the batch file was effectively looking for:

     

    ScriptMods.ScriptMods.20.38.01

     

    which does not exist, hence the error.

     

    So, remember to correctly set your installation paths in this file while you are there, then run the FirstMission.bat to reinitialise the campaign.

     

    Let me know if it works for you.

     

    Cheers!

    I've done two reinstalls of the P-51 Normandy campaign -

     

    I receive the following error upon running firtmission.bat

    Carrier Script Test

    Zooker,

     

     

    Multiply that by the length of the cycle in hours, then divide by two.

     

     

    A 1+15 cycle gives you 37 minutes into the wind for 22,727 meters.

    A 1+30 cycle gives you 45 minutes into the wind for 27,272 meters.

    A 1+45 cycle gives you 52 minutes into the wind for 31,818 meters.

    A 2+00 cycle gives you an hour into the wind for 36,363 meters.

     

     

    For experimentation purposes, I've been flying strikes with a 1+30 cycle where the carrier turns into the wind a few seconds after mission start ....

     

     

    Thank you for this, Yoda!

     

    Can I ask where you are putting the distance parameters? I'd really like longer carrier legs for my missions.

    Tracks breaking when different graphics settings used

    in Multiplayer Issues

    Posted

    After flying an aerobatic flight with a group of friends tonight and wanting to grab some screenshots I decided to max out my setting in DCS and found out something peculiar.

     

    The track will play totally fine ( No jets breaking off randomly, etc ) as long as I don't mess with AA / AF. Changing either of these settings will make break the track %100 of the time. When taxiing I will run into the jet in front of me, graphics settings back to what they were when flying and it doesn't happen and the track even takes fast forwarding at 30X no problem.

     

    Is this a known issue or bug?

    23ish if I recall. The map was expanded quite a bit adding several new airfields. That expansion wasn't cheap for disk space. 33.4ish is an accurate number to its current size.

     

     

    Quick mission loads the first 1/3rd of the way and then hangs. I'm not sure entirely how to read in the logs exactly where I'm killing the process at, it's around the 4+ minute mark.

     

    To recap,

     

    Updated, Repaired.

    New Saved Games, Repaired.

     

    Still having the same issue.

    Added stuff and things.

    Removed, no difference. Still won't load.

     

    As a side note, both times I've had to repair TWICE before getting the game to launch. Each time the first install doesn't do runtimes. The second repair does and both games will boot. BUT - 2.0.5 is still having the mission editor issue.

     

    EDIT: Not sure if it's related or even close to related.. But looking through WinDirStat I see that just Nevada is pushing 33.4 Gigs. IIRC It was previously around 20 correct?
