I also have problems after this update. The engine stops after approx. 3-5 minutes, even under different conditions (taxiing with take-off on airfield, in flight, and on landing after approx. 5 min. flight) and this while maintaining the specifications. That's why no track file helps, I think.
Same here! Flew in single player, Dogfight a 190 and managed to shoot it down, all the while checking out the gauges, which were in the blue. Did a carrier bolter and then came around again with hook down. Landed. Took off again, engine gauges blue, mixture full rich. Suddenly engine quits and down to the drink! (Rich mixture cools any engine, I know that from years of flying a real life Continental O200 and lycomings of all sizes)
The whole idea of having radial engines was that they were very reliable, even when damaged because no "coolant" was lost. Cylinders could in theory be shot away or perforated by bullets yet the engines would still run, or so the tales go... Same issue with the P47...
With this F4U if you sneeze, you seize! This cannot be historically accurate. Seems like a bug. (Also, in the new update they mention a "WEP" master switch.. where is it? And is it for the water Methanol injection or were they abbreviating "weapons"?)

Definitely having the Fw 190 as a zero is not fun. It takes punishment like a tank (maybe because of its designer??
). Zeros and Japanese aircraft were known to burst and catch fire easily, no self sealing tanks, no pilot or systems armour protection. Or is it that the .50 BMGs sucked?
-
I find it rather unfair that enemy (AI) aircraft can ditch after being riddled with bullets and are not destroyed (and the kill is not registered). Further to this, If the player aircraft ditches, then it is immediately destroyed and the "kill" is counted. Ditching in WWII had a high probability of survival, especially near ships or land. I think this should be modeled and if AI aircraft are not destroyed, the player aircraft shouldn't be either. (It'd be nice to see the pilot bobbing up in the swells on a yellow raft, just as it can be seen dangling from a 'chute! Or at least bobbing with the mae west...)

Doesn't this splash page with all the videos deserve some cool music??

Checked the bindings. It is assigned in the keyboard.

Short version is use MT as things are broken in ST. If you're in MT repair (or verify if Steam)
I'm on MT. Didn't work. Launched from the explorer, from bin-mt... nothing
-
tried ST.... no go...
-
I do get a map in mission editor. However, when flying either in single player instant missions or the mission editor flying my mission I don't.
Weird. I do not even get the F10 blue screen as above, with airbases and flying aircraft. I tried a repair but got nothing. Started from my windows explorer and tried the dcs.exe there from bin-mt... same thing.... no go!
-
I just tried it and still no F10 map. I am on MT. Do not know how to go to ST. Not only that, but now the F10 button does not show anything. Not even the blue screen with no terrain.
I am posting my systems options too just in case someone finds something weird there. If someone can point me to how to try ST I will much appreciate.
Trying a repair now...
-
What is MT?? How do I "switch" to it? I do Single player missions, not online. I have a DCS world instal not STEAM. Please help an "old timer"!
Thanks!

Start the game in MT, it's ST that is apparently causing the problem.
Just noticed you are on Steam, probably already know how to get there but just in case
Click on DCS World in your libriary then either click on the cog on the right side or right click the mouse on DCS World itself and select properties. On the General tab make sure the lauch option is Play MT Preview.
Hi, old fart here! What is "MT"??
-
Same issue here. No F10 map. Initially I'd get a blue screen with no terrain, only airbase icons, flying aircraft icons as well as my plane. Then just nothing. Pressed the F10 key and nothing would come up.

Check that your anti-virus has not quarantined some M2000 files. Some people are have issues with this.

How do I go about getting this report??

launch
"YourDrive:\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" repair
from the DCSWorld\ bin directory
Can you please explain how to do this repair? I am an old fart and not very computer literate!
Thanks

I updated DCS World a few days ago, to the latest version. Now my Mirage M 2000 is not working. Even though it appears in my module manager, there is no icon for it or screensaver in the splash page. It is not available for flying. I purchased it four years ago in May 2020.
It is the only module not working. Why is this? How can I fix it?
-
Elvis, many thanks!
Now I managed to dll the ones I wanted. However, there is yet another question.
I have the F15C module but not specifically an FC3 module (the only folder with "FC3" is D:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\DemoMods\aircraft\Flaming Cliffs) Should I install them there?
Please let me know,
Thanks!

Hi All!
I am trying to download several files for VSN mods, the F 105, the F4 and the Mirage III. I tried others to see if they worked. I only get this... no download "button" I tried this with the Download Link:
filehorst.de
Download Link: VSN_Mods 2.5.X - DCS World Stable SFM Versionand it sends me to a list page with all files but when I select the one I want, there appears like a holding page that says" now to the downloads page" Which I click but then I get sent to the page with no other click box...
What am I doing wrong??
Exactly!!
Yup! That is exactly what happens....

Hello! it is my first time reporting this. I have been trying to use my P51 D module and in all mission, in single player (not online) my engine either stops running or does not start at all. I was flying the Channel free flight mission and even though my manifold pressure and RPMs are up the engine does not produce power. Then I started the mission for cold starting the engine and following the exact procedure, priming and then starting the engine does not catch!
It used to work ok before!

Hi! I really want to congratulate you for this community module. I want to download it but cannot find a link. The one on the sticky direct me to a page https://heclak.github.io/community-a4e-c/ but when I click the download link it directs me to another github page, no download. Can you please advise? I would love to have this plane.

Can someone post a screenshot within the cockpit showing the location of the damned WEP master switch? Can't find it... Also, is there a new manual?? The original early access one kinda sucks.
