Medium/Large boats can't be placed to near the docks
Annapolis81 replied to Tom P's topic in Bugs and Problems
Ran into this problem last year. The mission editor does not take depth into account, but the game does. The only solution I have found so far is one of "trial and error". This is true of all of the maps. Hope that helps. -
Fast repair fixed my Marianas map issue. Thanks for the quick response.
-
Same Marianas map authorization problem as mentioned above. A recent BIOS security update may be the culprit. The DCS GUI did require my email address and password before allowing me access to the game (sim)—bad timing. Hope that helps. (My Marianas mission files are now "visible" in Windows 11. Weird.)

check deck crew Removing wheel chocks requires air supply
Annapolis81 replied to skypickle's topic in Bugs and Problems
It's a known bug. Sometimes the chocks are shown graphically even when they are not actually there. Simply skip the "remove chocks" command. This is especially true if you are on one of the Super Carrier's elevators. Hope that helps... -
I have several naval-oriented missions and the supercarrier, for example, is still present on the map as well as in the mission. I just tried to insert the supercarrier into all of the available maps had no difficulties. Not sure what your specific issue might be. Will keep looking... . Hope that helps.

Unable to use the command "autostart" with the F/A-18C after the latest upgrade for DCS Stable. After about two minutes, "autostart" stops with the following message displayed "Right engine parameters failure". It occurs consistently with all DCS missions-- including mine. Any ideas? Thanks.

Still unable to download the Afghanistan/SW Afghanistan map. Here is some more data on the issue: 1. All sources say that I own the map. The map was successfully downloaded and used until DCS no longer recognized my ownership of the map on 26/07/24. Attempted several reinstalls but have been unsuccessful so far. 2. Half-way through the attempt, the download crashes and I get the following message: "DCS Updater 2.16.3.18: Curl error (6): Couldn't resolve host name." 3. Here is the relevant "error" log: autoupdate_log.txt Hope that helps.

My HP Reverb2 tracks better with simple lighting and stark shadowing-- not necessarily more light. Hope that helps.

Do you get these views even after using the centering function in DCS? -
cannot repoduce and missing track file New error with MFDs
Annapolis81 replied to Bdoyle13's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
I had the same thing happen three days ago while flying a CAP mission during a battle I designed. The only thing I could do was CTL-ALT-DEL and restart DCS and the mission. It hasn't happened before or since. My chief suspect is the WMRSVR update. -
What Type of Bombs and how many can sink a boat in DCS
Annapolis81 replied to ruddy122's topic in DCS: F/A-18C
My biggest problem with sinking the opposition with any FA-18C weapon system-- getting past their currently very effective anti-air defenses. Good luck. -
Objects do not cast shadows on deck at night
Annapolis81 replied to CommandT's topic in DCS: Supercarrier
Do you have "terrain objects shadows" set to "default"?
