I just tried mission 3 after the last update but I still have no datalink and my GBU12's are not hitting the target in the TGP? Not sure what's wrong. I'm going to skip the mission and try the next one and see if there are still issues. I tried the track file again but its way too big. As a side note, while I'm not hitting the target in the TGP I appear to be hitting some other legitimate targets...I'm getting a lot of truck, infantry and manpad kills with the drop?? It looks like I'm hitting about a mile off the TGP target.

looks like the last update fixed all the problems! Thanks!

Hi Baltic, I'm wondering if you can take a look at this track file and see if I'm doing something wrong? I'm on mission 3. My datalink does not seem to be working. I went to list/E and it looks like it's all set up right. I don't see any other flights on the HSI and I can't get my wingman to show up. It says I'm transmitting? Also I can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn with my GBU12. I have no problem finding the tank with the TGP after entering the coordinates. I have tried multiple times from slightly different angles to make sure I'm not hitting a building or something near the tank. I tried firing the laser right after launch...waiting till 12, 10 and 8 seconds before time to impact and I'm no where near the tank. My last attempt (track file included) I seem to be about a mile off? I've played the FILO campaigns and also tried the instant action AG weapons missions and have had no problem hitting my targets. I did have an issue with the apache after the last update and I'm playing mission 3 after the last update (no issues with mission 1 and 2 which I played before the update). I'm not sure if its a bug issue or something I'm doing wrong....my bet is its me, but maybe a second set of eyes can figure it out? Thoughts? Sorry this isn't going to help but my track file is too big! Not sure why the max size is so small...none of my track files are that small!! Not sure what to do now...any ideas?

Sorry I've been away for a few days....sounds like you have found the problem. I did confirm the above and I also tried wasing to rockets on the landing pad upon startup, rather than after firing the hellfires in battle, and I crashed 3 minutes into the mission. I also played a couple other missions in the campaign with no problems at all but I haven't checked yet to see what type of rockets they were... I will do that. Thanks for all the perseverance!! You guys are great!!

With the fxo and metashader2 files do I delete all the files in the folder or just the recent dates?

Just an update. I reset the DCS settings as you advised and while my graphics look crisper (especially at 24K in the viper) the apache crashed again when I switched to rockets. I'll try the other suggestions and keep you posted! Thanks for the help. I've attached the new crash file as well. dcs.log-20250907-215416.zip

Thanks for all this. I'll work through it and yes it only happens when I switch from hellfires to rockets every time...and only in mission 1. I'm gonna start with the easy DCS settings first!! Thanks again.

Okay, I just replayed it and the game crashed. I didn't restart the game, so hopefully this is what you need. I should mention that I have played a couple of the other missions in this campaign through the mission editor...because I can't advance from mission 1 and I have had no problems. Also the FCR does not seem to be identifying any of the targets although the TADS shows them. Also the TADS does not seem to be looking at the targets that the CPG is targeting. Stone Sky thinks the issue is P and E cores? It just seems odd to me that I have no other issues except for mission 1 in the outpost campaign? Thoughts? dcs.log-20250904-225029.zip

Hi I am looking for a bit of advice/direction. My game has worked flawlessly until I started the Apache outpost campaign. I can fly the apache in all the instant action and mission files and I have all the other campaigns for the apache and have had no problems. I have many of the other aircraft and their campaigns (WW2, 4th Gen fighters and most of the rotary aircraft) and have never had any crashes. Stone Sky was kind enough to do some analysis for me and recommended I change the values on my core processors. His analysis is on the Stone Sky/ Outpost/ bugs forum (CTD). I am not a neophyte, but I'm not a computer expert either and I get a little nervous changing things in the BIOS (worried about overclocking and overheating among other things). Since it is only the one module/campaign I'm having a problem with, is it worth the risk to attempt to change the values? Is there anything else you might suggest based on Stone Sky's analysis or the log file (attached)? Thoughts? dcs.20210514-031725.crash dcs.20210514-160957.crash dcs.20210514-191401.crash

I'll give it a try......thanks for all the effort!! Much appreciated.

Here you go. I have a few but this was the last one after I ran the repair. dcs.log-20250821-202548.zip Thanks for the help by the way!!

Just an update, they told me to try some instant missions and missions which I did with no problems. I tried mission 1 again and I'm still crashing to the desktop. Not sure now if its the campaign or ED. They haven't said anymore yet either. I can't attach a track file cause the game fully crashes.

I think this is caused by the latest update, so I reported it on the AH64 forum. Thought I would advise here as well. I am crashing to the desktop on mission 1. I fire my hellfires at the technicals and as soon as I switch to rockets for the humvees I crash to the desktop. ED told me to run a full (long) repair which I did but it still crashed after the repair. Also I can see the targets in the TADS and I report a hit on all four technicals but don't see the hits on the TADS. Just a fyi.

I still have both problems. I CTD and the game sent the crash file automatically. I cant save the track file because I crashed right out of the game. I was simply switching from hellfires to rockets and then crashed. I did run the slow repair successfully but still crashing the game. Sorry should have mentioned I am playing mission 1 on the outpost campaign. I take out the ZU technical's with the hellfires and switch to rockets for the Hummvees and then I crash.

I have had the same problems (both). I haven't tried a repair yet but will. When I crashed the program sent a crash file to dcs so I didn't keep the track files. I'll run the repair and try again and keep the track file if still a problem. I'm flying mission one in outpost campaign.
