Hi I built a mission in the editor. Fairly simple triggers that I want to test. When I try and fly it from ME, or the missions menu it CTDs me. I had a look at the logs, but I don't really know what I'm looking at/for. I've upload the miz file and the crash dump if someone could have a look for me. Many Thanks , Atomic.

Seen this also. Thought I was going bonkers

Hi Flappie, Thank you for taking a look for me. I've also experienced it on and off with the caucasus, but reinstalling that map isn't an option unfortunately without reinstalling the whole game. My game install is on a separate SSD to my windows install, but all in the same tower, on the same motherboard. Since this latest update my memory usage is way up so maybe it's something to do with that. I'm running an i5 7600k (stock clock), 32GB 3000mhz ram, 1070ti, DCS on SSD. Should I delete the Zlib file and do a repair? Or am I going to end up with a completely broken install. Thanks, JackHammer

uninstalling and reinstalling the PG map via module manager seems to have fixed it.

Hi I keep getting a crash to desktop when loading into PG missions. Tried MP, instant action and it crashes when the loading bar gets to persiangulf.ng5 or something. Log file attached. I'm going to try and uninstall and reinstall PG to see if that helps. Peace out. Atomic dcs.log-20200820-195332.zip

I get this, I think it's to do with the animation of the lever/switch moving. In the f18 it doesn't appear to be animated. In the harrier there's an animation that if you try and cycle the switch before it's finished doing its animation it ignores the input. Has cost me a few airframes on landing and taking off.

She's a pretty capable night attack aircraft now... Have you tried it since the update?

Since they introduced the SC it's messed up non-SC ships like the Tarawa. Commence etc etc are all used in Case 2/3 recoveries where visibility is limited due to weather. I'm sure Baltic Dragon (training mission builder) will see this shortly and put it on his list.

You can input Lat/Long in the CAS page, but it doesn't have the accuracy required. I think Zeus et al are working on making it UFC'able.

I think you have to load them via kneeboard... maybe. Which is "K" or RShift + K. Then cycle through the pages with [ and ] until you find the countermeasures.

Don't need cooling, I think you may be confusing InfraRed Mavericks with the LMAV. LMAVs you just need a laser code, something to lase for you/TPOD, Lase target, uncage maverick within 12nm of target, nose down to catch the laser, once it's captured rifle, maintain the laser on until target hit, Laser off to prevent burn out (yes this is modelled). Also IR Cool is a backup switch for the AIM9 cooling, as far as I'm aware.

Depends if you are trying to use TOO (Targets of Opportunity) or PP (Preplanned) targets. With TOO (using the TPOD) you are unable (at the moment, if not ever) to release more than 1x JDAM per pass. With the PP you dictate the number of JDAMs dropped by using TGT (targets) on the ODU, then you select the relevant Target number (from F10, or other method of planning), up to 10x JDAMs per pass. To set up the T1, T2, etc. You will need to populate the CAS page, or "upload" to your CAS computer (RShift + RAlt + 8 ) T01, T02... comments from the F10 map. Hope that helps.

Same, it's a shame cos the JTAC is super fun for SP. :(

Awesome thanks

The Tarawa is super bouncy now, similar to the stennis. I just wanted to check that it had been logged. Unable to rearm/refuel due to constant movement. This is in the latest OB.

Good job! Make the Harrier Great Again

The tomcat I feel that the power setting is never quite right, also it takes ages to spool up/down so you have to juggle the throttle more than usual and really be mentally ahead of the plane. Harrier is hard cos you cant see the basket. Once you learn the reference points that work for you it's easier, and I imagine it would be easier if we had peripheral vision. If you've got bombs and bags on you'll need to trim a lot and add a decent amount of power. I havent tried the f16 since release (when it didin't work lol). Hornet's a piece of cake. The FCS stops you from doing anything too stupid and more or less sorts out your trim. Mirage is a bit harder depending on the speed of the tanker. Su33 i hate the "autopilot" refuel mechanic. A10 never refuelled, nor the f15. I know everyone says it, but the more relaxed you about it the easier it gets, and practice by flying formation with the tanker. At least he tells you his speed now, I remember having to play guess the tankers speed and try and refuel. Now if he'd just pre-warn you he was turning that'd be great.

Which MPCD did you have it on? For some reason IR Mavs only work on the left MPCD... You cannot SS-Fwd using the right screen. :doh:

Track file Here's a track file too. The landing at the end is a bit harsh, sorry. Tarawa bug .trk

Hello, Hope this is the right area to report this. I reported this previously in the Razbam area of the forum, but I don't know if this is their problem to fix or a DCS issue. Recently the Tarawa takes damage when a harrier takes off, if you run the live BDA assessment thingy it shows it taking damage roughly as you pass the tower. I've also had damage reports when carrying out vertical landings in various areas of the boat. ALSO When rearming and refueling harriers begin to step backwards (if the ship is moving) When you have 4 harriers on deck this can cause them to creep into one another. Thanks.

I have found the DMT to snap onto a tank or vehicle, in the tact. Manual it says that it uses a contrast gradient to stay locked onto a thing, is this what you're finding? As people have said above using a ministick or analogue stick to slew is also buggy. I have my tdc slew set to a 4 way switch for this reason. If you have your target square where you want it hit sensor select forward to lock it into INS and it shouldn't move, but if you put a lot of G into the aircraft whilst manouvering off target it will drift in the INS.

Hi, Is there a way of making a JTAC lase a building on the map or a spot on the ground rather than just vehicles? Cheers

I remember clicking these rocker switches on release and thinking it EA it'll be along shortly. I recently played a really fun hornet mission in the dark and enjoyed being able to set up my cockpit so i could use NVGs and not been blinded by instruments, due to the switches all being modelled and doing what they're supposed to. I then went to try and build my own night attack mission for the beloved AV8B-NA and unfortunately these setting still aren't modelled. Does anyone know when we will be able to night attack in our night attack plane? All the best,

Make sure your RWR is on, volume knob (top right of the dash, up and right of the righthand MPCD). Could be the units are set to do not attack or something silly.

Basically CTD'd sent a dump file to ED, but thought i'd upload the file here to see if that helps squash the bug. dcs.log-20191218-210604.zip
