as @Czar66 stated, you likely have a few installations OR upgraded a bunch. the color of icon does not matter too much since it can be changed to one of a few different colors. what matters is where the shortcut is located. my shortcut looks like this in its properties. TARGET: "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS_updater.exe" (you can also just put the dcs.exe in lieu of the updater. START IN: "C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta" null

thanks to all. BJ55 had the answer though the other solutions were also sound. i used a modifier on the throttle with TMS up and down.

@buceador i ran both your tracks. same results. AI is fine. Player nada. i have not tried FC save track. quite honestly i think this topic is moot. the dev team not mentioning either fixing or mentioning a new system, proves that something is in the works. i totally get it. if any news is mentioned, the user base will flip out. no need for that modus operandi. i do not make content so i have no use for the tracks.

you can also run a disk utility on the D drive to find where all the fat is. i use one called windirstat that is free. just run it as admin to see stuff your user may not normally be able to see. https://windirstat.net/ you may have a bunch of temp files you can delete.

interesting. are you able to share the track? to see if there is some sort of computer issue is affecting it.

hello Rel i dropped your log in the discord analyzer and looks like there ar custom LUAs at work. try to go without these files as a test.

Hello all. I have indeed tried to find this answer in DCS manual and Chuck's guide. Is there a way to change SP with HOTAS. UFC works but it is difficult when flying through SPs close together. Thanks.

in fairness, ED has stated they cannot fix the current system. they need to create a new system from the ground up.

you should use a mod manager in the future. mods use part of DCS core and when they update, some mods will break. if you continue to have issues, come back. get rid of the mods and run a repair. sometimes mods will quickly update and you can retry it. that is where the mod manager comes in to play. https://github.com/sedenion/ovgme is a popular mod manager.

me too. and we warned as many people as we could. modifying HOSTS is a fool's errand brother.

to add to what @Raven (Elysian Angel) mentioned, discreet sound cards do use CPU because much of the processing is done on the card. at least in the day they did. "any fool that would want to use onboard audio is a heathen." lol. now if you have one you're a geek. PS https://us.creative.com/p/sound-blaster/sound-blaster-audigy-fx-v2 is a good one. creative has been around since the beginning. yeah i was there

@Aluminum Donkey only thing i can think of as a cause is that audio uses some CPU. if the driver is faulty i suppose it could cause crackling and performance issues. do you use the MS drivers or the mobo manufacturer's.

odd for sure. funny coincidence. my logitech kb has started to spam the spacebar. meaning it will do multiple presses sometimes. LOL. well in ED's favor. they have a lot going on and this issue is likely at the bottom of the list of TO DO.

i am part of the all here and i never considered the user files hostile. kind of extreme. but it is okay for you to have an opinion. sorry that you are not satisfied. by the way. i like your mission, Hamburg Tourist Map

haha. Bitter, there is a call on line one for you. workaround for your issue is do not use it.

hello @anlq i dropped your log into the discord analyzer. Advice Please update to the most recent version of DCS World. Windows 10 will be EOL Oct 14th 2025. Upgrade to Windows 11.

Tuning tips are recommendations for better FPS based on your CPU, GPU and RAM. They might result in slightly decreased display quality. unfortunately (IMO) the newer gen intel cpus cause issues. i have an 11 gen cpu and have none of these issues. it is the sales pitch of intel to claim all these cores and it is a combo of P and E cores. E cores do not play with DCS very well.

pro tip. browse to the folder in file explorer and type CMD in the URL. command prompt will open in that folder.

hello. i only experienced the issue trying someone else's track. i do not save very much. no new ones to test. i am going to mess around with one today.

there is another post and has not been addressed by the devs. i can say that the tracks have been problematic for a while.

this probably sounds odd. are you sure that the time frame you chose in ME the AC existed? long shot.

@Nightstorm this topic was raised yesterday. some symptoms sound alike to your's.

thanks draconus. CA is interesting to say the least.

first thing to try is add exceptions to all the DCS relevant folders in your AV software. it is a DLL and likely got flagged by the AV. example for defender.
