Great news Cobra, thanks for keeping us updated - as always!

Hi Hawlikwin, do you review your flights with Tacview? Definitely worth the time and money. Also, are you flying SP against an Ace AI??? They fly almost perfect evaison manoeuvres ... do you the same issues against 'Trained'?? I'm no expert, but generally use TWS and with TWS-A, I find it very effective, even against multiple bandits, unless they go for vertical separation which it struggles with.

I fly mainly SP, and only fly a little MP, and always with Jester - but I haven't noticed it being too bad ... do you use a human RIO? It is a generation behind the other radars ... is it correct? I'm not qualified to answer that.

As I understand, this makes the 54 come off the rail active ... but would you want that at 15 miles?

It is working, but can't show you the gun pipper and the radar scan indicator at the same time!

I find PAL very reliable and apart from in guns mode, gives a clear indication of sweep. Being a 15 miles scan, it gives distinct edge over fighters with a 10 mile scan ... the 3 second pause before 54 launch is a pain though!

The other thing to remember, is that your TMWH will last 10+ years :)

Ok, many thanks for your assistance Flappie, your help is much appreciated.

Ok, some more testing. Loaded DCS without VR, connected to servers and disconnected, again and again ... no problems. However, I never fly without VR since it launched. Then, loaded DCS with VR, connected to GSW server and first time - bang, back at the desktop, see log Loaded DCs again in VR, connect to GSW again, ok, disconnected and connected to hoggit .. crash, see log 2 Loaded non-VR, connected to servers ok. Back to VR - crashed, see log3. Rebooted PC, loaded DCs with VR, connected to GSW server and everything ok - see log4 :) Hope this helps! So, it would seem possibly VR related but only on that screen! I can't remember DCS crashing while flying in VR! dcs.log dcs2.log dcs3.log dcs4.log

That was in previously posted log UPDATE2. When DCS crashes, it is usually on the selecting slots screen on MP, very rarely on SP ... it shows the screen, but freezes and then crashes before the back ground renders - dumps me back in windows. When I then try and reloaded DCS it fails repeatedly but if I reboot, works fine - this would suggest its not a config issue - otherwise it would happen every time. If I fly MP, it happens perhaps once a day. If I play SP, it's very rare - perhaps once or twice in weeks. Apart from this, DCS is very stable and plays reliably for hours, even in MP, despite my oldish PC being max'ed out RAM and GPU wise. Doubling the RAM didn't help at al, so its not running out of RAMl. Sometimes it crashes the first time I connect to a server, sometimes the third or later time while playing various an MP sessions.

Yes, sorry, another crash while trying to connect to a server online, same place as before when rendering the server's slots screen. PS> Yes, you are right about the historical icon ... I wondered what that icon did!!

Thanks Flappie, I’ll try that today. UPDATE: 39GB downloading :) UPDATE2: been pretty good today, then ... UPDATE3: This is going t osound odd, but since I remove my core dir and repaired, I can't add the F-14 to any missions, it doesn't appear on the drop down ... I can fly it on-line and in existing missions ok, but its not on the list. Neither is the S-3! Did another repair and nothing highlighted. dcs.log

Also happens when I load with --force_disable_VR. Again no ZIP file ... crashed on connecting to a 130 ping server, ran another repair today, had already connected to a couple of other high user count servers without issue. dcs.log

Tried joining a couple of servers and eventualy one crashed (had a higher ping) while the slots screen was loading ... no sign of a dcs.log-2020###.zip I reloaded DCS to see if it would create a crash file, hence this is the previos log, ie. .old

Cheers Flappie. There is no dcs.log.2020### dated 0903 ... I have a few from 0901.Next time it happens I'll upload the ZIP.

Well, I ran a repair and told it to delete everything spurious. Not seen this issue in SP, only when joining a server and its happened on various MP servers. As I mentioned, once I rebooted and reloaded DCS, it ran fine for a couple of hours. I'll see if I can dig out the other logs and upload. Many thanks. PS> I don't seem to have an option to update my sig :(

Happened again as the cockpit was rendering ... when reloading DCS, it just kept quiting, so had to reboot to fix it. Then fine for 2hrs of play. Very odd. dcs.log

Will do, thanks guys

I switched back to using the Oculus beta software and so far, that seems have fixed the crashes ... very odd.

Nope still crashing :( dcs.log

Indeed ... well spotted. I haven't used in a while, so can delete. Thanks.

Many thanks bignewy, I think the only mods are Tacview, SRS & Simshaker. I'll try an NV driver update ... EDIT: Od, it does only happen on while the slots available screen is loading

I'm getting a fairly regular crash on this screen too ... once DCS has crashed, it requires a reboot in order to load again. Annoyingly, I recently upgraded my RAM from 16 to 32 because I thought this may fix it ... may have made it worse. I'll do some more testing and get a crash log uploaded :( EDIT: Tried reproducing this morning (servers are less busy) and after a few tries got it to crash again, log attached. I then did a repair, so will see if that helped. dcs.log

Were you in a 14? I flew a number of missions on the JDF server over the weekend and all the tracks are hopelessly inaccurate! Problem seems to be getting worse, in the past a few would replay ok.

No demand for a 15C because it was only A2A? ... I was disappointed to hear that too. Does anyone do heavy A2G in the 14?
