Yea me too, the dev team are amazing and routinely go above and beyond with it, I've built an entire pit around it, easily the best mod I've ever seen for any game ever

Is this mod still going? Still alive? I hope so cause it's filling a void that definitely needs filling lol

Oooooooooooooooooooooo that sounds very much the good, I'll try it tonight and chime back in! I've played with it like this for years, now with these tiny fixes it's reinvigorating lol

The funny thing is nobody know! It literally says it in the file So theres a line in the file that you can swap, you basically remove the -- Infront of the "non blocking" line and place then put -- Infront of the blocking line There's an image of the lines here The layout will have been changed a bit now but make a back up of the file and have a crack at it, makes a big difference

Ok, so @MadKreatoris a legend. I used his tip after speaking to him and bluefinbima on their discord I thought I would document what I did to get it running great To be scientific and impartial as possible I reset everything to 0, reset all my Nvidia settings to default and I had recently done a reinstall so everything was good to go for a test, I also have a test mission that I use to max everything out and push the gpu to it's limits for a consistent repeatable test So what did I do? Step 1, open Helios and set the export rate to my refresh rate (60fps) Test Still not good, step 2 Go into the helios16 file and Comment out non-blocking and replace it with the way the code is short blocking time .001 sec or what ever it says Test Better but not perfect step 3 Turn on vsync IN DCS not Nvidia CP Perfect! that's it, no tweaking tuning in the control panel or any of that, just pure and simple those 3 things I should note that I'm using a 1.75 dsr factor setting and I'm also running sim shaker and not having any issues at all now The credit goes to all those who figured this all out, I've just put together what worked for me, hope it works for you!

My crashes were in the tomcat and the viper, Unfortunately for me it was only a full reinstall that has had any effect *so far* I did find out that online seems to be much worse for it and the loading times are stupid long I put together a test mission, flew it, no trouble, all the gfx were there when I started it, I then loaded it onto my DS 30 seconds later I was in the same place, hit fly and it took a good 30-60 seconds to load everything, jet, cockpit, terrain, objects the whole lot, took an age considering it was instant when I played the exact same mission not 30 seconds before. Could that have something to do with it?

So the reason I ask is, I was about to go and make one as true to life as possible but then I got lazy an found these https://www.jaycar.co.nz/duinotech-10k-ohm-slider-potentiometer-module/p/XC3734?pos=1&queryId=a8d61465f5e98bf18909ea19a7be4881 So now what I want to do is turn the nob into the same as the top of the 2 aforementioned handles just for fell more than anything else, I have some mates with a 3d printer so I have my fingers crossed lol

Does anyone have exact dimensions of both the flap leaver handle and the wing sweep handle? Exact specs would be good but a 3d model would be epic

Here it is if you need it

That one was out of date so I made my own... Didnt realise there was so much, looks like the next step is to drill down and get the controller working

I'm a bit shocked too, I was hoping for a lot more responses how ever I think this is one of the quieter sub sections In saying that thank you so much for your input it has been invaluable so far, I've made up a list of all the control options for the viers, have my DS ready and will grab davinci resolve and have a go

Thank you so much, good to know that what I had suspected was infact the case, luckily I have a dedicated server to mess around on haha, as for the long hours of work to produce the stunning images, that's the part I'm looking forward to the most Also, as a side question, what editing software do you use? At the moment I'm using HitFilm express cause it's free, I'm open to suggestions for better software and I'm happy to pay for it, I just don't know what one is Good

How do you create and capture your footage? I'm not talking about recording programs, I have that sorted What I want to know is how to get all those beautiful shots. Ive noticed that doing it live or making it on a server and then grabbing the servers track seems to be the only way that works as when you just grab a track file from a mission on your local machine you start in position but after that your unit drifts and the ai seems to do what it wants, I've played back successful kills to capture it and not only do the ai trash the missile but they shoot me down! So what is the best way, what way do you use to capture that stunning footage I've seen you all make?

Found the answer to my first question https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3320507/

So, I'm trying to get more and more into filming DCS stuff just cause why not, but I don't really understand the keys and controls or how to use them past the most basic stuff, I was wondering 2 things, 1) is there a complete list somewhere of all the buttons and what they do 2) has anyone tried mapping them to an Xbox controller? Would it even work? I have plenty of experience with keybinds and the like so I'm not worrying about that bit, just would it be a workable controller for filming?

That would be awesome! Yea so I'm looking for both the angle that the parachute pack and the angle of the seat back that the parachute attached too, if that makes sense lol, I guess same for the seat pan while your at it, thanks so much for taking a look at this!

Does anyone know the seat back angle relevent to the vertical? Im trying to get my seat mounted but can't fina any conclusive numbers on it anywhere, to be clear I'm looking for the actual ange of the bit your back touches. If I can get that right everything else will fall into place

Yea that's what I'm finding so strange, just corrupted out of nowhere, I tried the same approach but with less wisdoms, next time I'll check the event viewer for sure, In my case DCS is on a 3 month old NVME drive, which I checked and is all In perfect health, very strange indeed Best news is that I learned something useful today, using the event viewer! Thank you for sharing your wisdom! Next trick will be to try figure out what corrupted it

Will do! For anyone looking with a similar issue, here's a time line and steps I took after DCS started up and worked fine this morning and worked great for about an hour, while I was building a mission, then the crashes started, they started when I went to fly the mission I was building on the Persian gulf map, it crashed once then was fine for about 10 mins, then crashed again, several crashes and full repairs later it just stopped functioning at all, I assumed something in the editor or mission file has messed it up, crashes every way of starting a mission, even instant action missions on different maps with different jets Steps I took after I posted the OP here, the idea was to try everything untill there was feedback here to see if I could crack it.. I sent every DCS crash report through the gui Tried 3 other games, no issues Deleted files to do with terrains and repaired, no luck Ran memtest86, pass Ran dxdiag, no issues Virus scan, nothing Removed GPU Over Clock, no change Backed up DCS files and then completely removed all traces of DCS Reinstalled DCS, this seemed to have fixed the issue Rebuilt DCS, still works Ran the Sfc/scan now, errors found and fixed So far DCS is still working, looks like the reinstall was the solution to the problem, takes bloody ages tho haha Hell of a way to spend a day Thanks to everyone who helped out with it too! I wonder what, why or how these things just corrupt, there must be something doing it surly?

I wonder if the last windows 11 update casued the issues? Since posting the event viewer stuff I've done a sfc scan and it found errors and fixed them I'm a bit confused as to what's happened to cause the issues, seems all very strange Hoping someone here can shed some light on it

there are a few errors but here's the one related to VCRuntime Faulting application name: DCS.exe, version: 2.7.16.28157, time stamp: 0x62e3d3bf Faulting module name: VCRUNTIME140.dll, version: 14.28.29913.0, time stamp: 0x6041a7e8 Exception code: 0xc0000005 Fault offset: 0x0000000000001989 Faulting process id: 0x36b8 Faulting application start time: 0x01d8a86ef26f54bc Faulting application path: E:\DCS World OpenBeta\bin\DCS.exe Faulting module path: C:\Windows\SYSTEM32\VCRUNTIME140.dll Report Id: 4587e17a-baf1-41f5-9239-8bc4dcbed8c6 Faulting package full name: Faulting package-relative application ID: Fault bucket 1640216166324695637, type 4 Event Name: APPCRASH Response: Not available Cab Id: 0 Problem signature: P1: DCS.exe P2: 2.7.16.28157 P3: 62e3d3bf P4: VCRUNTIME140.dll P5: 14.28.29913.0 P6: 6041a7e8 P7: c0000005 P8: 0000000000001989 P9: P10: i also get these...

Will do, In the meantime I did a full reinstall of DCS and that seems to have fixed it the issue, might have been a reinstall of VC runtime as part of the install that fixed it maybe? Ill post up a screen shot of event viewer shortly

I should add I have tried repairs and they either worked once and then went back to the issue or didn't change a thing Does not seem to matter what jet I'm in Does not matter how I launch either, it won't load into mission editor or mission or even instant action Dcs worked fine on Wednesday but is not now, I was making up a mission when all this stuff started I really dont understand what's happening

DCS.log as requested, heres the last log cant do a trk as I cant get bast the loading screen haha

Hi there Today I started having a full ctd of DCs when ever I load a map, it seems to get to either routs or more commanly the terrain init navgraph then it freezes and crashes I've looked through the logs and can't seem to see anything glaring sticking out at me so I'm a bit lost, what part of the error log should I be looking at?
