Much Better... Nate

I wonder can we adjust the responsiveness of the TDC cursor when using buttons? It is horrible to use right now. I find the acceleration of the cursor far to slow. Nate

This is awesome - you'll have to change the name to indicate it is now a Dynamic campaign with the addition of the save feature. Fantastic work. EDIT:- Can we get the Fog of War back in the new version? Nate

OK - that makes sense to me - slowly beginning to get a feel for the Hornet. Too used to the Sukhois and trimming constantly. Nate

Would I be right in saying that Trim only operates in the "Not Auto Flaps Up" flight mode? Nate

Fantastic! Thanks Falcaw. Nate

No not really. Nate

If I'm gaming @ 1440, would I get acceptable FPS with MSAA on, if I bought a 1080ti? Nate

Wouldn't mind c0ff or Chizh, just to get the nuts and bolts architecture of DCS, and maybe how it has evolved over time from Flanker (if Chizh was around back then) Also the vision for the future DCS architecture. I see hints of a general Server/Client model being pursued, but overall it'd be nice to know a bit of technical detail as to how it all hooks together (not that I'm at all technical when it comers to programming). Nate

Couldn't agree more, Jaggies and Shimmering textures in the distance have ruined the look of DCS for me. Seriously considering a 1080ti (or one of the upcoming cards) just to run 2x MSAA at acceptable speeds. :( Nate

I had an issue with FRAPS crashing 2.5.1 (but not 2.5). Also see if you have anything else running that uses an overlay on the screen. My logs would end at the exact same place as yours. Nate

OK after a bit of further sleuthing I've discovered that a fresh windows profile will run 2.5.1.......... Since none of the modules were activated on the fresh profile, I've uninstalled them to test on the main profile. No Dice. Hmmm what about running apps on the main profile? FRAPS hooks into DirectX does it not? Oh yes it does! I can confirm that FRAPS v 3.5.2 (of 2012 vintage) will crash 2.5.1. Updating to FRAPS 3.5.99 doesn'twork either. Took a while but I'm up and running for definite now. many thanks for the help along the way. Nate

I had a slightly older build number of VC 2015, alas, updating it had no effect. Nate

No - its on, but good idea. Note the DCS config is completely fresh for testing this out. Nate

Windows updated as of today (minus the Preview rollup... April 17, 2018—KB4093113 (Preview of Monthly Rollup) Nate

Much obliged BIGNEWY. I note that only when DEP is disabled, does DCS realise it has crashed and produce crash logs. The Latest set of which are attached. Nate dcs.log-20180428-172815.zip

Damn, no it's still broken. I'd reverted the wrong copy of DCS world to 2.5, so I was in 2.5 not 2.5.1. I can now verify 2.5 runs perfectly and that 2.5.1 crashes every time before initialising the main menu, with both versions side by side on the computer. Nate

Yes, this with 2.5.1. - it's odd. Do I need to install it as a module separately? EDIT:- No actually I'd reverted to 2.5 :( My Fault. Nate

I see J-11A in the ME list, but it's not Yellow, any ideas? (I have FC3, and uninstalled an re-installed it) Nate

So... I gave up. Turned on my Second screen and was watching football... try DCS again on a whim... et voila, DCS loads. Makes no sense :) Nate

Grrr, no joy with 2.5. So it is something else broken. Odd that it's only the one app having the issue. Any other suggestions gratefully accepted.... Nate

No Joy with DDU cleaning out drivers from safe mode.... resuming the rollback to 2.5 to see if that has any effect. Many thanks for the suggestions BIGNEWY - much appreciated. Nate

Getting a bit further now the AV is gone, DCS is recognising it is crashing and creating its own log package (see attached). Again something is pointing to DirextX Dlls as the faulting module. Will try going back to 2.5.0 to see if it still occurs...... Nate dcs.log-20180428-103058.zip

Avira Free. Will uninstall as a test........ Nate

No, no metashader popup (I've been reading through the forum also :) ) Log and dxdiiag. attached in the first post now. Even with a fresh DCS config, no metashaders the result is the same. I've also tried disabling DEP as test and the error changes to a dxd11.dll (or similar) but still crashes at the same point. Nate
