Still Freezing PC in game. Hi Bignewy, Still an issue unfortunately. Log file attached. Many Thanks. dcs.txt

Thank You, I've completed the above and will test it over the next few days. Appreciate your help.

Still Freezing PC in game. Hi Bignewy, I have removed all the mods but unfortunately it's still freezing up as usual. I've attached the DCS log file if you wouldn't mind checking it out I'd appreciate it heaps. Thanks you. dcs.txt

Thank you Bignewy for your reply, appreciate it. The mods are for the Squad I fly with, however I did in the past try it with no mods and had the same issue but as I’ve recently done a fresh install of Windows and DCS, it’s probably a good suggestion to try this again at this point. I’ll give it a go and get back to you. Again thank you.

Hi, could someone please have a look at the attached log files (last 2 crashes) as unfortunately its way above my pay grade… My DCS continually freezes with a loud buzzing noise at random times, sometimes after a few minutes and sometimes after an hour or so. The last image remains on the screen until I turn off the PC at the wall. This has been an issue for over a year now with no resolution. I’ve done all the usual things like returned the PC to the shop for testing several times with no faults found, replaced windows, replaced DCS & saved games folder several times, drivers, DCS settings, page file sizes, running the lowest visual settings, etc etc but it’s still an ongoing issue. I've practically worn out my keyboard on forums and google and now I'm at a lose for which way to turn. Any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks in advance.

Looks like they are getting ready to run the scam again...

You’re obviously not in Australia..... 250 down and 12 up....? You lucky bastard...!!! :-) I run 2 separate 24 / 7 machines for our group. One is an i3 with a 1050Ti running a single server (limited max users 16) and the second machine is an i5 no video card running 2 severs (limited max users to 10 per server) with no local Australian issues. Our US and UK members that join our servers only "very" occasionally notice small lag issues but we get the same issues when we Aussies login to their 2 servers which are both on 1 Gbit up/down connections, so that’s obviously not a local ISP bandwidth issue. My internet is 35 down and 8 up... I don’t think bandwidth will be an issue for someone with your privileged, silver spoon, luxury internet.... :-) :-) Have an outstanding day mate.

+1 Same issue.

I’ll take the silence as a no then...? Shame, would have been good to use in my missions, "que sera sera" Have an outstanding day, y’all... :-)

Hi Y’all, does anyone have the slot block part of the CSAR script working on the new DCS dedicated servers...? csar.csarMode = 0 -- 0 - No Limit - NO Aircraft disabling -- 1 - Disable Aircraft when its down - Timeout to reenable aircraft -- 2 - Disable Aircraft for Pilot when he's shot down -- timeout to reenable pilot for aircraft -- 3 - Pilot Life Limit - No Aircraft Disabling -- timeout to reset lives? csar.maxLives = 8 -- Maximum pilot lives I’m not having any luck and not sure if it’s me not setting it up right or if it’s a new dedicated server issue...? I’ve also tried the simple slot block script as well but also not working or me...? Thank you...

Just a thought, use a simple voice attack script, set to a button binding rather than voice command. Have an outstanding day y’all.

Have you guys looked at the DCS kneeboard builder...? Amongst many other benefits it also allows you to position your kneeboard all over the screen (and VR). http://www.dcskneeboardbuilder.com/ You won’t have to dig too deep into your pockets as it’s free to boot... :-)

Sorry I don’t have an answer but just letting you know you’re not alone.... I occasionally have this issue with multiple leo bodnar boards. So I’ll be interested to see what others suggest... Ava Good’n.

Wow... Outstanding...! Thank you very much Sir.

Thank you Memphis, this will be a wonderful tool and especially useful for newbies as our community grows. Well done...!

+1 Same issue.

Hi, just checking.... Have you guys updated your PC’s to the latest DCS version..? If not, that will be why you can’t see it. Just a suggestion. Have an outstanding day... :-)

I’m not an expert (at anything) but I think the type of aircraft you prefer to fly will have some influence on the feel and input swing of your joystick. I personally fly about 95% Huey and after considerable time playing with springs and lengths, I have settled on having the TW base in standard spring configuration, with a 150mm extension works perfectly for me. However, if your thinking something like an F-16 is more your flavour, this 150mm extension will provide far too much control swing movement. Have an outstanding day mate...!

Thanks BuzyBee, I've PM'ed you a link to the DCS Log file and a sample Tacview File. Let me know if you cant see it. Also, just making sure you are aware I'm having this issue on the latest dedicated server running 2 separate server incidents. It works fine on my old dedicated server. Thanks, :-)

Hi BuzyBee, unfortunately it didn't work. It appears that Tacview doesn't add the extra to the options.lua file until after DCS has been run. I have 2 PC's running 3 servers. The PC that runs only 1 server is the original (First Released) dedicated server so has the ability to see the DCS GUI Interface / Settings Menu. After installing Tacview and running the GUI interface and setting the options inside of DCS, the single server PC has the 10 min restriction now gone, (As expected). However, the second PC (the one I actually want to run Tacview on) running 2 servers, is the new latest released dedicated server and thus has no GUI and thus has no way to setup Tacview within DCS. I manually added the additional data to the root options.lua first but that didn't work, still has the 10 min delay. I then cut and pasted it into one of the individual server options.lua files but still didn't remove the 10min delay. Just to confirm... After installing Tacview, non of the option.lua files had changed. I had to manually edit these files. Below is the DCS dedicated server root options.lua file, followed by the individual server options.lua file "after I cut and pasted in the tacview details".

+1 Good question...? I’ll also be interested to hear. Waiting on the DCS VR improvement update coming soon apparently, to see if that helps before considering upgrading though.

Just FYI... DCS PC and 2 x Dedicated PC Servers all going through Belong NBN with no issues in WA. I’m just on their basic home plan. Ava Good’n Mate.

Hi BuzyBee, I'm not having any luck trying to get rid of the 10 minute delay on my dedicated server. I'm running 2 incidents of the server on one PC and no mater what I try it still has the 10 min delay before recording. I've been through this forum and your websites support FAQ's trying different suggestions but still have the delay. Could I please have some step by step instructions on how to get rid of this 10 Min delay. ["tacviewPlaybackDelay"] = 0, ["tacviewProfilingPeriod"] = 60, Other than the 10 min delay issues, everything else works fine. Many Thanks.

+1 I would also like to know if there is a fix for Tacview delay on the new dedicated server ? Thank You.

Outstanding Sir... Thank you..
