So updating from 2.5.5 would still be a bad idea? I use a monitor, not VR.

Thanks for the reply. :thumbup:

Is RAT still in use, I can't seem to get it going? thanks

Rolling back to 2.5 is very easy. Just scroll through the post until you find "updating or reverting to previous version". I did it almost immediately after installing the 2.6 update. There will be posts keeping everyone up to date on the progress of 2.6. I don't know why you would lose your F-16 if you reverted to the most recent open beta 2.5? I reverted back to OB 2.5.5.41962 https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030

Thank you, lots of work and research averted.

Yeah, the update tore everything all to hell.

same issue, isp issued me new gateway/modem, destroyed my ping, the default gateway ip address is giving a ping of over 150ms, it's just the second hop!

In MP, cold start, after start an engine, ground crew refuses to disconnect external power and air, say to idle engines, buuuut, you have to use these two things to start the engines.

I've just spent some time building a mp mission. Tried to implement this script and can get absolutely no luck with the units spawning. Getting some mixed warnings in log file, says I have no red airbase assigned, which I do have 2. Says I have no patrols and I do have 4 template groups posted, 2 gci and 2 cap. not getting any error msgs in mission. Not sure what else to do

Yeah, that's what mine looks like when I place one, but it never works beyond that. Oh well, guess it's just a fluke. It was just getting under my skin that I couldn't get it to work. I don't use them that much, but had a mission on my mind where trains were the main focus, didn't know if I had messed something up. I searched all through my users/saved games/dcs.ob folder for anything that had to do with trains and couldn't find anything in there, was wondering if maybe I'm missing some files or something. thanx again for the help

I thought the same thing Juice, I have civil traffic to full and I still can't get anything. Is it possible that the file containing the rail equipment is corrupt or has somehow mia? I don't know where that file would be located, or if it's the same folder that static object rail equipment is stored in.

Thanx for the reply Grimes. Well, the last time I used raild equipment was in Oct. I made a mission that was all about intercepting a weapons haul. Everything was good, I selected ground unit, train, and once I placed it on the map (on the track) I had the standard red marker with a railcar inside it, I could select the ammo or preview tab and it showed a pic of the unit. I started the mission to test and I could see the indicator in the F10 map, and it was doing everything I had set it to do. Now when I try to use the train ground unit, I don't get anything other than the placement indicator inside ME. They're not even in mp missions I've seen them in the past or even a mission I downloaded called, "Train Trouble". It's like working rail equipment has completely disappeared from my DCS install.

Trying to place trains in mission editor, but don't have them anymore. I can place the indicator icon for rail equipment but the train doesn't appear in mission planner or in the actual mission. Also there is no equipment preview under the ammo tab in ME like there used to be. They were working fine a few months back. I have tried a DCS repair but doesn't help. Is anyone else having this problem or anyone know how to get railroad items back in ME? Trains are available in static objects but not as operating ground units. I'm using open beta v. 2.5 thanx

Keep getting CTD while using the Harrier. The crash happens when I switch weapons, I'm attacking a target, my RWR is sounding and when I change weapons, DCS instantly CTD. Attaching latest crash log. dcs (2).txt

I'm really getting into mission building and I'm ready to start implementing lua scripts. I've read through the tutorials in the forum but they're a little out dated. When I follow along with the demos, I don't see the same options or results as in the tut. Was hoping I could get a little more detail on the workflow. Right now I mainly want to set up ground patrols that continuously repeat their waypoints, or until triggered to do otherwise. Was just hoping someone could help get me started, thanx

Thanx for the help Ben, sorry it took so long to get back to you. I just cleaned out the mods/tech folder, unpacked the downloaded objects again and placed them back in the folder and when I checked ME, they were available this time. So I don't know what was going on, just glad it's fixed.

was wondering if someone could help me out? I know how to add objects in ME but, I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I unpack and place the main folder "civil_objects", into my C:\Users\USERNAME\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech folder and still I can't access the objects from ME. I have checked in every category multiple times but nothing. I really want to build some missions and use this pack but am having no luck. Anyone know what I might be doing wrong? Thanx

wow @ all the helpful people in this community!

I have searched and found a couple vague posts on this, but old conversations and no clear cut answer. Is there no way to place aircraft on the elevator platforms, on a carrier deck, in Mission Editor? Almost all multiplayer servers with carrier ops have an option to start cold and dark on an elevator. How are the mission designers doing this? I'm building a carrier op mission but, I can only start the aircraft on the cat launch.

I've already ran the repair, but didn't work. Will try the 100% vanilla and update to what happens. Thanks for the help.

I finally got the AGM-62 working but, now after every time I drop the weapon and it completes, as soon as I start using my DDI and select another weapon, DCS crashes to desktop? attatched a .txt copy of the log file, anyone have any idea of what's going on? DCS.txt

thank you, cthulhu68

I accidentally found it but, I have to hold down my TDC Depress button the entire time I'm slewing the walleye seeker.
