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...

According to Microsoft Defender, there is a malware threat imbedded in the software. It rates it as "severe" and it won't allow it to be circumvented. This is different from the issue I had with the Harrier earlier this year.

Unable to get authorization for DCS after the latest update. In addition, my F-4 license is no longer recognized and will not load-- making it unplayable. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

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.

Here's the DCS auto updater error file: Thanks. autoupdate_log.txt

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?

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.

My biggest problem with sinking the opposition with any FA-18C weapon system-- getting past their currently very effective anti-air defenses. Good luck.

Do you have "terrain objects shadows" set to "default"?

It also depends on what time period you are talking about. In the 1970's and early 1980's, we had both a destroyer and a helicopter designated for lifeguard duty-- if they were available. In the days of LORAN ABC, it was all too easy to be permanently lost at sea. Destroyers were tasked with anti-submarine duties and frigates were tasked with anti-air duties. The big cruisers provided anti-surface and anti-air support. The standard deployment of a carrier battle group was-- destroyers at 12 and 6, and frigates at 3 and 9. Their average distance from the carrier was about 2-4 NM (depending on their sensors and weapons). Hope that helps.

If you are asking why anyone would set their radar below zero-- In the 1980's, I was taught to routinely set my radar to -1 or -2 feet to ensure that my radar coverage is truly at "0" feet. Variations in the surface (land or sea) as well as variations in the technology (atmospheric or laser) can allow the opposition to sneak past a defender in the "real" world. Hope that helps.
