+1 no taxi lights. Cold start from the ramp (Tbilisi for the mission in question.) Mission start time 0500. The mission is not one of mine, it was one off the User Files. The Hercules Mission, specifically.

That sucks. Particularly since the last round of updates (especially Stable) were pretty large. I don't know that it will help, but I did see that some were having better luck with speeds if they were using a VPN and switching locations. I do not remember seeing anywhere that torrents were still an option. There used to be a hack that would allow you to use an actual BT client, but it does not appear that is still an option.

The app does not do the downloading. It just makes using DCSUpdater easier. DCSUpdater still does all of the heavy lifting. ED recently changed to a CDN network for pushing its updates, which is why they are all HTTP downloads now. I do not know that you can torrent updates anymore.

You know, there was once a television series that ran for four seasons that had as a major premise this concept: Have you tried turning it off and on again. A cold start fixed whatever the problem was. The thing is, I rebooted it after it installed some Office updates when I went looking for .Net updates and THAT didn't. Sorry for the sirens.

Yes, the old version still works.

Yep. It with the exe. https://imgur.com/TtsDD3g

Startup crash I am getting the following unhandled exception error when I try to start the utility: "Conversion from string "" to type 'Boolean' is not valid I have attached the JIT details. I overwrote the older version, then I cleared the directory and pasted clean, then I pasted to another directory, then I deleted the config directory in my %user%. Still crashes. Additional details because I am an idiot and pressed post too soon. Win10 1803 DCS 2.5.6 Stable GTX980Ti Ver. 441.41 I thought maybe I might need an update to .Net, but nothing showed up as available. DCS Updater.txt

Or - how about access to armament layouts from the Mission Editor or Mission Planner?

If you have ever watched his streams when he is making these, they are all heavily edited and cut down. He cuts out whole sections when nothing is happening, or when he is talking to the stream, or to himself. That is also why sometimes he sounds so clipped and hurried now. He cuts out anything more than momentary silences so his speech cadence sounds hurried.

Well, I can tell you that the IP address for Server is Cloudflare's primary DNS server address. So that part appears to be working normally. Have you tried connection by direct IP address instead of the server browser?

A suuggestion and an issue. My suggestion is forum related and not about the app itself. When you release the next update, could you lock this thread and start a fresh one? That way, any issues that come up with the new are not buried under the 100+ pages of previous messages? Which relates to my issue. After reading about 50 pages of messages (from the front and the back) I do not see that anyone else has noticed this. When I start the GUI and then start DCS, everything is fine. However, when I close DCS and come back to the GUI, none of the Launch buttons will work. I have to restart the GUI for it to work again. Thanks for doing this. I use this every time I start DCS and I really do like the app.

I really am enjoying this, glad that I found it. A couple of issues however. 1. I get this error every time I start the batch file. It does not appear to affect anything, so FYI. 2. The configuration screen will not remember its settings from mission to mission. I always have to reset difficulty and (most annoying) turn night missions off (hate night missions.) My Saved Games and DCS are on separate drives, but everything else appears to run properly.
