Brilliant idea!!! WillI give that a go

I will look into that, is there anything that normally would or could delete it?

Yep, same same That's why I thought it was weird, not done anything to change it

Not that I can think of, I did unplug some of my controlers for a bit of cleaning but didn't play DCS while they were out, other than that nothing

Oh sorry, I just re read that question!! Totally my bad there hahal I use the exit on the right hand menu to leave the game

Sorry, I should have been more specific Im talking about the box that pops up for your user name and password before you get into the game, I've had mine set to remember password and auto login but every now and then it seems to forget my info I'm assuming that it's normal but this time I thought I would ask If there was an actual reason

hi again, how come my DCS authorization profile start screen thing randomly forgets my saved data, is this a security thing or should I be worried?

Ooooooook so, been a busy day... I've removed 8088 from my forward, I've also made my server private and so far I haven't had any of those blocks pop up and glasswire is muuuuuch quieter, only the main DCS host and the connected players on it now, so far so good I also posted in the MBAM forum about it, they scanned the IP addresses that i gave them and found that there is malware on those addresses, here's the link if your interested https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/288072-i-really-hope-these-are-fps-website-blocked-due-to-trojancompromise/#comment-1523062 They have been super helpful in the matter, hopefully everything is all good! Next up I need to sort the admin stuff, were getting there tho!

Any of the Devs have any idea whats going on? i would be very interested to know if this is normal, or if this is most definitely not normal haha

Awesome, I'll start there Is it possible to use the same ports as the game does? As in 10308 for both game and WebUI? Cause I have to have 10308 open anyway, less ports open is better I'm assuming or is 443 a better option?

Yea, I'm thinking more and more about stopping the port for that. There isn't by chance a way to change the port to another one, one that's not likely to be pinged in the same way?

I'll try grab Wireshark and try grab a packet some time soon, just out of pure curiosity. Wouldn't hurt to know When you say don't publish your WebUI publicly what exactly do you mean? Do you mean having your ports open or do you mean having your actual connection information free and available to be found? I'm so very sorry for all the stupid questions, this is all very new to me and I'm trying to wrap my head around all this

When you say scan noise what do you mean? Is it the DCS WebUI doing scans or is it other sites or people sweeping through trying to break through?

Got all that sorted easiest game set up I've ever done, thanks for that by the way What about the inbound connection attempts through port 8088 to my server DCS.exe? Blocked for Trojans and compromises, it's it legitimate? I should note that I do not get these "blocks" when the server exe isn't running

Just basic hardware on this end sorry, I will look into those options tho, I'm still getting my head round the whole web server hosting stuff at the moment Today while those things were being blocked I was connected locally to the web gui and none of my mates were trying to access it, that's what worries me, they were specific to the DCS exe too, I wonder if we get lucky and one of the devs pops in to shed some light on it

On the first response, it is currently set to public for ease of connection Is there a way to make it non public but searchable by name? I thought it was only possible to make it public? On point 2, I have it accessable by the web gui as some times I'm not there for admin and this allows one of my mates to log in and do the administration, is there a way to have this accessable by the account without it being public?

hi there, i have a few questions regarding some things regarding server PC's and the security of DCS world open beta server. I run a very small server for me and my mates to indulge our passion for jets, choppers and blowing stuff up. however i have noticed a few things that concern me and i would love some feedback to calm my nerves. one is just out of curiosity, the other is worrying me first up. i run GlassWire on all my PCs just to keep an eye on things, because I'm a bit nosey and very nerdy lol I have noticed that when i host the server i get a ton of hits from all over the world listed as "hosts" on GlassWire, they only take a very few bytes, so I'm assuming that they are just all the people opening up there multiplayer menu and pinging the server for details, is this correct? second, and this one kind of worries me, I run MBAM for security and for the past few days of hosting i have been getting real time protection blocks for "compromised" or "Trojan" from different IP's when i checked the IP's one was from Zurich the other from some where in the Netherlands. details below As you can imagine this is somewhat worrying. is someone able to enlighten me as to what is going on? its also coming through port 8088, which is the web GUI port, its freaking me out a bit are these legit things from ED/DCS or are these people trying to hack into my PC through the Web GUI? i have more questions but i feel they may be answered in your reply's to this post, so ill wait and see what you all reckon before i panic spam questions here hahaha I eagerly await the knowledge you all have, that i seriously lack, hahaha. cheers guys

hi again scaley, I've just done a massive PC upgrade however I'm still using the old 1080ti, so I'm still getting the gpu bottleneck glitch thing, I did all the things here and still had the issue, so I did some testing, F16, 20000ft, over Caucasus, spawn in, roll inverted and pull, I did this on my server too, to limit any other issues. I used the default "high" settings with monitor size expanded for Helios ofcorse turns out that the glitches and lag spikes in Helios are caused by the shadows, I turned them to low and also either flat or off and the glitches went away, there are still a few small glitches here and there but for the most part they have gone now I'll keep testing with the current set up and see what settings also need a change Hopefully a new 30 or 40 series card won't have these issues, if I can ever get my hands on one!

@f4l0 I was wondering if you could help me out, or point me to the forum post that helps, I tried going through to find the answer but 173 pages is a bit much lol So sorry if this has been asked before I've recently done a PC upgrade and have done a fresh SSA install, I no longer have access to the SSA old PC however I do have a clone of the entire hard drive it was on, I unfortunately in my haste to get things running forgot to export my setting files for all my aircraft, I was wondering is there a location somewheres on the old PC drive that has all my aircraft settings? Or am I all out of luck?

Same as any other single player mission install, unzip the pack the drop the .Miz files into your user saved games missions folder C,users,username, saved games, missions Then once there in that folder inside DCS go to "missions" and then you will find the mission under the "my missions" option Here's a video https://youtu.be/WeRBPUOVXAs If for some reason that doesn't work you can load, it's should work fine, cause that's how we all do it, but if it doesn't, drop it into the same location and then open it through the mission editor Ether way it works for me and my mates who have tested it sp

New version out now https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3322007/ Even has a video now lol https://youtu.be/OnUi08qF3KQ Enjoy

just like it says, it would be awesome if ED could just put a list somewhere of all the vehicles that are driveable with combined arms, I've searched the web many times and cant seem to find one location where all units are clear and concisely listed. it would be really good if there was one, at the moment I just do the old, put everything down and see what has the check box available, while effective this is not a very efficient way of doing things. if there is a list somewhere and i have missed it, please let me know cheers guys, love your work

Operation taxi till you find it went well Here's the location of the PLAT camera, just Infront of the launch bar Here's another view

To save me taxing around on the deck to find it, does anyone know the exact location of the PLAT camera on the super carrier deck? Its obviously centerline in the landing area but where along the centerline? Just wondering if someone already knows, if not operation taxi around till I find it will be a go lol

Worked like a charm, thanks again
