  1. Fixed mine by running the ".\bin\DCS_updater.exe update "@dcs_server.release"" command. I can now run the previously greyed out Germany CW miz files. null
  2. Same steps, same issue here, was wondering if you ever got a fix on this. I can run everything except Germany Cold War missions.
  3. It's rather annoying that it keeps popping up every page load, even when you acknowledge it and make it go away, and it keeps taking up some screen space down there. Fine, keep it if you want, but give us some way to minimize it down to a button and stop the "Hi (hand wave) How can I assist you? If you have any questions about our products let me know" messages every page load.
  4. Same here, a buddy and I jumped in last night, he popped in a route. We discovered that he could see the route waypoints from his seat while looking at my display, but I couldn't see anything he added. So he wound up just telling me which direction to go, navigating for us.
  5. Just had this happen while flying with a friend. A few days ago his accidental click on grayscale stuck his IHADSS in grayscale mode, and unboxing the option wouldn't return it. Tonight, I did the same thing, and when grayscale was unboxed it was stuck in grayscale mode, but then boxing it gave me stuck IHADSS symbology. Had to grab a new bird to fix it both times. I wasn't running with track on to record it, but will try to line up some recording time soon.
  6. Well, that definitely did it. I had a couple old versions still in the add/remove programs, even with the older sound modules. I removed everything and just installed 2.6.7 and sound module 2.36, and now the F-15 is giving me kicks in the butt. Thanks @Bazz_Mulder!
  7. I'm having an issue with the F-15E on 2.6.6. and 2.6.7 (released this morning in my time zone), keeps throwing Index was outside the bounds of the array, both in MT and normal flavors of DCS.
  8. Oh yeah, I'd love an in-cockpit adjustment binding so we don't have to unload, change, reload & check, rinse and repeat. Something like the seat height adjustment bindings would be great. Huh, didn't think of checking that one, thanks!
  9. Same here in VR, this setting doesn't change the ring placement at all on the BS3.
  10. I had the same issue last night loading up the cold start training. I checked Task Manager and Resource Monitor and nothing was happening; no disk activity, barely any CPU % used, etc. Everything just hung on the loading screen for 10 minutes. DCS was still responsive, even asked if I really wanted to exit the program when I tried to close it, though it never responded to my affirmative answer. Can't provide logs right now, at work, but you're definitely not alone.
  11. Yeah, I thought I called out that I was using the VR window constrain, but here's a screenshot for proof. I can still find my cursor outside my game window sometimes if I'm not using that Use DCS System Resolution option. null
  12. Hey @BIGNEWY, just coming back to that other thread (https://discord.com/channels/542985647502393346/1022558646477000744/1022923248259842110) about the full screen VR, you wanted me to report back how it was going. Overall it's workable, but I've had to tick the checkbox to use the flat resolution to full screen in VR because the keep cursor constrained VR option doesn't always work; sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, most times I find myself clicking on something behind the game. Using the flat resolution for VR works, but the only down side so far is once I'm in DCS I have to remember to leave something open on the desktop if I want to alt-tab back out for any reason. Without having an open app on the desktop, it won't let me alt-tab to the windows taskbar or just to the desktop. Usually not a problem since I have a few apps running that create a presence there like SimShaker and OpenKneeboard. Anyway, I saw the thread was closed in Discord since it's being investigated in the forums, but I haven't found the forum thread yet, and you'd wanted me to report back when I had some info. Overall, it's workable with some caveats, but not as smooth and easy as using the Alt-Enter full screen ability from previous patches.
  13. OK, got a fix for VR users at least. Under the VR tab, check the "Use DCS System Resolution". You're locked in at that point, but you get a full "VR" screen on monitor, and you can still alt-tab to another window if you need, just can't shrink it.
  14. Removing alt-enter has hobbled VR. Now we have a window that doesn't cover the whole screen, and a cursor that won't stay inside the game space. And even when confine option was working, you constantly had to fight with it taking the cursor back to the game screen when you needed to alt-tab out and fix something or look something up. And the new *Full screen option doesn't work for VR at all. It just ignores. So that's not even an option either.
  15. Not having alt-enter affects way more than just FPS issues. When running in VR, we're stuck with the thinner render in the middle. I can't speak for others, but I personally detest the "confine cursor to game screen" option because it won't let me tab out to reach other apps when I need to switch between game and some other program. The way to fix this was leave that cursor confine switched off and alt-enter between full and half screen when needed. Now I'm locked to half screen and forced to use a lesser option that causes more issues, or I easily lose focus on the game window and lose the cursor. Why even remove functionality like that? You can't anticipate all the ways it'll break someone's setup. Leave the option to us. Edit: Even better, confine cursor to game window option is checked, and the mouse still goes beyond the border of the game window and DCS loses focus. So, now we have no alt-enter to max the VR window, and confine cursor isn't working to keep the mouse inside the game border.
