  1. No problem on the diss..... I have been following the login troubles posts since last night when I ran into them again. My post above isn't about that per say, but the (hopefully) unintended consequences of the incident where my settings got reset to default (even after authentication started working again). I get that my modules will be deactivated if authentication fails, but I do not see any reason to "nuke" my settings for these modules as once the servers are back and auth is working I would expect to be able to take off where I left my settings.
  2. Over the past month I have ran into two occurrences of DCS servers not working that caused all my modules to be deactivated upon attempt to launch DCS. Although concerning to not be able to use the modules that I have rightfully paid for, the bigger annoyance is that in both occurrences it seems to have wiped my 'special' settings for all deactivated modules. Anyone else experience this? Is this a bug to be addressed?
  3. Hey @Flappie, thanks for looking and it can be hard to find opposing force when you are trying to recreate the issue, but if you are trying to fly the mission they tend to find me :). Last night it crashed on me dogfighting another helo and apparently I didn't clear them and collided :(. Hung for about 30 seconds then crashed to desktop. I usually do manual startup, but have recreated the issue using auto-start in case I missed something. Seems related to pilot death for sure as I have crash landed several times with no DCS crash.
  4. DCS Crash to desktop just happened on Enigma CWS. Attached are logs and tracks (I have 2 tracks basically same timestamp.... they restarted the mission on me and I can't tell which is which, but I think the larger sized one should be the one). dcs.log Cold-War-Syria-v96_DME1-20230506-204823.trk Cold-War-Syria-v96_DME2-20230506-204311.trk
  5. Yep, I posted logs and track in that other post linked above and will post them here next time I fly CWS (and DCS Crashes). Unfortunately with the hard crash tracks don't play back correctly and I suspect logs won't show much either. I was just trying to reproduce with simple mission and hosting server myself, but could not reproduce that way. Took Vulkan to the face and DCS didn't crash. Miz is attached anyway. My experience so far has been on Enigma's CWS so maybe there is something there that is causing the goof. Appreciate the attention/help to track this one down. crashTesting.miz
  6. So crashing straight into ground from cold start does NOT produce a DCS Crash... just tried it twice on Enigma CWS. What DID cause a DCS crash was the fly straight into the teeth of defense forces. That replicated the DCS crash I am experiencing. So the steps I listed above unfortunately won't cause the issue.
  7. +1 to this, crash every time on Enigma CWS when I get killed. Interesting it seems isolated to cold startup (if I read the thread above correctly). Crash is still happening, several times yesterday to me. I posted in this other thread and included logs and track, but games crashes without warning so expect not much there: I believe the trick here is to get @BIGNEWY and @Flappie to reproduce it then devs can do a debug session on it. To accomplish this, believe these are the steps: Join MP server in Mi-8 Cold Startup Fly up and dive into ground hard enough to kill yourself NOTE: will test this method out shortly as I only experienced it flying mission
  8. DCS Crash when on CWS in Mi-8. Attached is logs and track (but it never plays back right). I assume I got shot..... DCS just crashed. No mods, playing on MT2D. Hope it helps (but I didn't see anything in logs) dcs.log Cold-War-Syria-v90_DME1-20230502-211723.trk
  9. @Flappie Getting this A LOT on Enigma CWS. Pilot dies, DCS crash, pilot crash lands (survives) DCS is fine. Will attach logs next time it happens.
  10. @HwyStar, FWIW.... My thrustmaster is years old now, but my zoom has always "jiggled" when using it for zoom. Interestingly, I found in the threads a long time ago about the intensity of the lights on the throttle attributed to some of this and indeed if I lower the intensity to "off" the jiggle does get better. Guess there is some interference introduced from the lights. Anyway, I set up curves for my zoom now anyway to give more defined levels of zoom and like it better with the benefit of also providing "plateaus" that removes the jiggle.
  11. I followed Horns advice and tried a clean install... that has resolved my issue. I guess for those of us that had it setup previously without kneeboard something is "missing". Clean install did the trick. Thanks for the help!
  12. Too many modules to remember, most of them. No mods installed. Good point on that being important.
  13. I have attached an image of what I get when I say 'Kneeboard' to VaicomPro.... I see the border around the kneeboard. I see "pin", ">", "<", "UP", "DN" along the edges. If I wanted to see what ATC just called out to me, what actions should I take or what should I say? As stated by previous poster, if you "scroll" then you see the DCS pages and leave the Vaicom which isn't my intent. I am just unsure how to navigate otherwise. I have tried verbal "JTAC" and the like, but don't get any response. I attached the VaicomPro profile in VoiceAttack, should there be specific kneeboard commands there? Thanks again for any assistance.
  14. So one edit to this.... I guess I do have the kneeboard... I see the blackbox around kneeboard and the option on the bottom left to <, >, and pin.... what I don't see is a kneeboard page like I see in the manual. My interest is in capturing 9-lines and Carrier comms and I thought the kneeboard would 'capture' that to give me something to reference once it disappeared from the screen (and my brain). Again, any help is appreciated!
