Hi Ian and Maximov, I am back up and running. Basically, complete install of Windows 10. Had to re-install Steam, Steam VR and DCS with my modules and after mega hours of downloads, back up and running. So glad no longer grounded. Many thanks for all your help. Take Care, Dave

Awesome thanks. I have a windows update issue and problem with Graphics Card Driver update which working through. Buggar. Thanks for all help, hopefully can get the updates sorted. Dave Hi Ian, The main issue, which was not really a problem before in running DCS, is Windows does not update. I have an MSI Gaming Laptop and when windows goes to restart from an update, it just sits on the MSI Logo. I then shut down and restart and it rolls the update back and in the past could use DCS. Things seem to change on a DCS update and I suspect the windows update is now necessary. I researched the windows update issue and it suggests some changes are needed in the BIOS to enable the windows update. I am getting a IT professional to sort that one out. The other issue is I went to the NVIDIA website, found my Graphics Card GTX 1060 and attempted to update the driver and regretfully the computer crashes. The IT guy is going to re-install windows, update all drivers if necessary and then I will need to re-install Steam, Steam VR and DCS. More GB's of downloads, but hopefully that will fix my system. Interestingly I do not use the Laptop for anything else except flying DCS Huey, Mi-8 with VR. I'll report back how this plays out and thanks so much for all the kind help. Dave

Hi Ian, many thanks. I am a bit of an old fella and a bit slow with fault finding computer issues. For Your Windows Page files is to low (2gb) and should be set higher (ie 16 - 32gb). How is this done please? Video card drivers quite old (Might pay to get later version). This is an interesting one as I have tried in the past to download the GTX 1060 drivers, but Windows keeps on telling me the drivers are the latest? How may I get around this please? Many thanks for your kind help. Dave

Hi Team, really appreciate help. Have Helicopter Controls, been grounded for ages. Problem is DCS does not load past Terrain Graphics Init: 97 Caucasus.ng5 when trying to fly the Mi8 or Huey. Have to do a Control Alt Delete and end task on DCS. This problem occurred a couple weeks ago and ultimately caused me to remove DCS and do a total fresh install. Been dealing with a couple of bugs along the way, resolved, but the described bug above is most frustrating and appreciate help please to resolve. Attached is the log. Many kind thanks in advance, Dave dcs.log

Will try, thanks

Hi Flappie, that worked, was able to access Module Manager and download the modules, Huey and Mi-8 and Nevada, that is good, but the original problem which caused me to update still remains, that is in loading Instant action for the Mi-8, cannot get past Terrain Graphics Init:97, caucus.ng5. I will raise a new post for this and upload the log, hopefully that can be sorted. Thanks for your kind help, Dave

Great, will try that and advise the outcome, thanks

No Flappie, I have not done anything to it, may have been an installation issue? Any suggestion for fix? Thanks, Dave

Hi Team, hope you can help. After having some DCS loading problems, I decided to remove DCS and do a fresh install, now have version 2.7.10.19473. After installation, I went to load my modules from the Module Manager and this action causes DCS to freeze, resulting in a CTRL-ALT-Delete and ending DCS in Task Manager. Have the log attached and have tried a Full repair, however same problem persists. Appreciate any help, Dave dcs.log
