At least you can use the ME, I CTD every time I select either New or Edit (Saved) 2.5.3.21153 Open Beta hotfix 2 - this is now available But, there’s a note at the bottom: Known issue: crash on protected terrains still exists

Do you have the NTTR map? If so, try that too - it's been doing the same for many of us.

AirWolf’s log errors are the same as mine. So, I would expect the devs could narrow this down as its common.

Yep, after the hotfix, PG worked only ONCE .. as expected based upon others earlier today saying that's what was happening to them before the hotfix after deleting some file. Also, NTTR won't load at all - as before the hotfix was applied. Caucasus works perfectly - and I really don't like that map... it's too old, been around for many years - just tired of it. But, it's better than nada, I suppose.

I’m going line-by-line in the DCS.log and attempting to fix what I see (not promising at this point). I’m also comparing it to the DCS.log of the Release version I just installed. I’m seeing similar errors where files are missing and such. However, the Release version works perfectly with all maps and aircraft. If I get something to work I’ll post my findings (I’m documenting as I go along).

I don't have it either - here on the USA East coast.. I'll just be patient. According to the release notes, it really doesn't address the PG/NTTR map CTD.. hmm.

Crap, it really sounds like you were on to something.. I'm guessing we'll have to wait for a hotfix at some point. I'm currently downloading the Release version to compare files and such...

PG CTD / Caucasus Good (Exit normally) Sure enough those files are missing from the C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Config\Input\UiLayer\ folders: 2018-08-31 11:38:40.809 DEBUG LuaGUI: can't open './Config/Input/UiLayer/keyboard/Keyboard.lua' 2018-08-31 11:38:40.810 DEBUG LuaGUI: can't open './Config/Input/UiLayer/joystick/Saitek Pro Flight Rudder Pedals.lua' 2018-08-31 11:38:40.811 DEBUG LuaGUI: can't open './Config/Input/UiLayer/joystick/F16 MFD 1.lua' 2018-08-31 11:38:40.812 DEBUG LuaGUI: can't open './Config/Input/UiLayer/joystick/F16 MFD 2.lua' 2018-08-31 11:38:40.813 DEBUG LuaGUI: can't open './Config/Input/UiLayer/joystick/Joystick - HOTAS Warthog.lua' 2018-08-31 11:38:40.813 DEBUG LuaGUI: can't open './Config/Input/UiLayer/joystick/Throttle - HOTAS Warthog.lua' CaucasusMapInstantActionGooddcs.log.txt PGMapInstantActionBad.dcs.log.txt

To get the metrics for this release, perhaps ED should post a poll asking if we have this issue. That would help to determine how much of the community is affected. Thoughts?

IMHO I like it just the way it is

v2.5.2.20143 DCS_Updater Reference: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=114030 Scroll down to see the table of all releases and modules :smilewink:

After further review and testing: Both PG and NTTR - only create 6 fxo files vs 36 that the Caucasus creates I have one ME miz [Caucasus] that I can use too. So, it appears that this is a map-related issue. ​

Ok, thanks for the info - just thought I’d mention it as it “could” be related. :thumbup:

Yes it has. I noticed the issue on the first day but just have been waiting for it to get fixed.. An annoyance but not a show-stopper.

Roger that! Thanks - just posted there with my logs, as requested by Nineline.

It’s a one-stop shop for me!

Won't load NTTR or PG - tried everything short of re-install (as I understand doesn't work anyway). Caucasus works fine with either the A-10C or F/A-18C. I just noticed that I don't have the NTTR in my online list of purchased products; it was there previously. I got that map free (plus it's Key) as I was an original OpenBeta user of the A-10C way back then. It shows up as an option to use Instant Action and ME. It crashes right when it start the 1st of 2 terrain loads (the 2nd being the aircraft pic and load screen). I've attached my dcs.log.txt and dxdiag.txt for review. Please keep us informed. ps. By not having the NTTR in my account, could that be an issue? I just verified the Key is valid and not expired BTW. Edit: I have no Mods - it's a factory, default, install -- so to speak DxDiag.txt dcs.log.txt

Yes, I too have the PG and NTTR map issue. No matter what I’ve tried, short of a full re-install [want to avoid that!], several Clean, Repair, remove, then recover [from a pre-backup copy] the fox and metashaders2. I’m stumped... Heard any news of a Hot Fix anyone?

DCS 2.5.2.20601 Update 9 - OpenBeta only

Think of the Castle to resemble the Rook piece in chess

I really like the new dragless FM!

Works fine for me since today’s update.

Back in the early 80’s (USAF) they were called travel pods and were hung on one of the hardpoints.

The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago while on the ground in the Caucus map. It finally went back to normal when I taxied to the runway.
