So, a few months ago, when DCS updated to the new option screen, I got it to run once. I opened the game using the exe in the DCS folder later that day, and ever since then, the new option screen never runs, the game just boots. Any ideas?

I haven't any anti-virus. I go in raw baby. Anyway, I fixed it just now. At first I tried deleting the file. It wouldn't let me. Restarted, got the same error, but was able to delete the file after trying again. The updater and installation worked after that. I'm now updated.

Trying to update to latest version, I get this after I run the patch updater? Any ideas? 00034.660 ERROR: Can't delete C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods/aircraft/F-5E/Textures/f-5e_tiger_II_textures.zip: (32) The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. 00034.660 INFO : Sleeping for 0.100000 seconds... 00034.765 ERROR: Can't delete C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods/aircraft/F-5E/Textures/f-5e_tiger_II_textures.zip: (32) The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. 00047.891 STATUS: Got RETRY when asked to retry: Can't delete C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods/aircraft/F-5E/Textures/f-5e_tiger_II_textures.zip: (32) The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. 00047.891 ERROR: Can't delete C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods/aircraft/F-5E/Textures/f-5e_tiger_II_textures.zip: (32) The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. 00048.739 STATUS: Got CANCEL when asked to retry: Can't delete C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods/aircraft/F-5E/Textures/f-5e_tiger_II_textures.zip: (32) The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. 00048.873 STATUS: Can't delete C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\CoreMods/aircraft/F-5E/Textures/f-5e_tiger_II_textures.zip: (32) The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. 00050.681 === Log closed.

Wow I must have been smashed last night I don't even remember making this post....LOL... Anyway, Its with the mavericks, and the shrikes. Hopefully today's patch fixed that. With the shrikes, I make sure they have the right seeker head. Patch notes did not mention shrikes tho.

Made several missions, that call for my wingman to attack ground targets. I have been making personal missions for a minute now, and never had other modules not engage targets....Is this some sort of bug the F4 has. Not attacking ground targets when ordered?

My favorite thing to do in DCS right now, is jump in the Phantom and go SAM hunting with shrikes. You have to get right up under a SAMS nose to engage, and it can get pretty dicey.

Didn't HB years ago show deckcrew progress for the Forrestal, before ED dropped their SC?

I got it.....I didn't have the FD in the ON position. I'm dumb. Anyway, thanks for your help, works as advertised now.

"(optional) Turn the Flight Director on (if you want the needles on the ADI indicating shrike seeker look angle)" What setting do I need to turn the FD to indicate how far I am away from the target, and to get the indicating needles? As of now I am only getting distance to a waypoint, when trying to attack a SAM site.

Does the E variant have the landing gear to even do carrier landings? Or are they all the same.

Added: Massun Asset Pack - numerous buildings, vehicles and fortifications. Do I need to delete this pack as I downloaded it months ago? Before i download patch?

See, 24 hours wasn't THAT bad....

This aged well.

I'm sure he being a 75 year old ex LEO, makes him as hard headed as they come.

Time to put up the steering wheels, and dust off the virpils...

I am having the same problem with Silkworm missiles. Only they are pointing dead south, no matter what direction I set them to. Does not matter the map.

Maybe next time HB, do not even give out a release date when announcing a new aircraft. January 25, 2022, HB said the F4 would be released in that year. Here we are, two years later...

I have been building my first "real" mission. Doing tons of reading, and research on YouTube. I have gotten comfortable with triggers, delayed starts, uncontrolled aircraft coming to life via triggers...etc. Using the F-14a in a scenario to bomb an airport and hangers responsible for storing and making chemical weapons. Syria map. My wingman is assigned a hanger to bomb with 2x GBU's, and he does it when ordered to. Player is assigned a hanger, a plane, and an optional fuel depot to bomb using GBU's and Jester Lantirn. I have two F18's take off right before my flight for SEAD, and to take on two possible Mig21's. Player and wingman can engage Migs also. Anyway, As I mentioned, building my first real mission, I have somehow introduced a bug. My wingman will not take off unless ordered too off the SuperCarrier. Before in previous builds of the same mission, he would take off right after me like normal. Now, he won't all of a sudden. Not sure what I did. Also, he does not take off in my previous builds of the same mission either. I'm hoping its a simple fix I am overlooking, If I cant squash this bug, i will try rebuilding the player and AI wingman waypoints and waypoint commands. I'd hate to scrub the whole scenario, but if I have too, I can chalk it up to experience gained with the ME. Thanks for any advice. Mission building and the ME are becoming addictive to me.

Time to blow the built up dust off the Mi-24!

This aged well.

Beware Beware.

So nothing on Afghanistan that was leaked during last years Beyond Video? Has it been scrapped? Not a single thing mentioned or shown since a year ago.

Who took the jam out your donut? The F14 is the reason I got into DCS. Thanks HB for an outstanding product!
