Okay. That seems simple enough. Thank you very much for your time and assistance. I'll give it try. Have a great day. PS> I will reply with my results as soon as I get it done and can confirm success.

I appreciate the replies. However, I am still a bit confused. I can understand that Updates and Repairs may well eliminate custom files and I would like to avoid that but for example, the Christen Eagle II does not even have a folder in Bazaar/Liveries. I could only find it in "mods/aircraft". That said, I like the idea of my custom skins being in Saved Games however, there is No Folder called Liveries in my Saved Games Folder. Do I create a Liveries Folder there ? And are each of the folders you show in your attached image, all custom liveries OR did you copy each of the DCS Bazaar/Liveries folders to put in Saved Games and only added custom skins to those modules you want when you want ? I apologize is that is a bit confusing they way I wrote it.

Hello y'all. I have been away from DCS for almost 4 full years and only now getting back into it. I had several Custom Skins for the P-51, TF-51 and the Christen Eagle II. I recall saving Custom Skins or Liveries in Bazaar/Liveries/ "Specific Aircraft" however I did not see the CE-2 there. I found it in Mods/Aircraft/Christen Eagle II which has it's own Liveries and Textures Folders. In fact, Mods/Aircraft has folders for each of the Aircraft Modules. SO now I'm confused whether I am supposed to put the Custom Skins/Liveries in DCS Open Beta Bazaar/Liveries OR in Mods/Aircraft/Liveries or wherever ? Maybe Both Locations ? Can someone please straiten me out on this matter. I'd greatly appreciate it especially if I can get a fast, accurate reply while I can still find the Custom Skin Folders that I seem to have hidden on a backup drive (new computer). Please Help ! Thanks in Advance

Excellent Thread. This is the information I wanted to see. A consensus in this case in favor of Win11 (fresh install). This is great news because I'm going to Click "PAY" on a pile of components to build a new PC and was having great difficulty trying to decide whether to stick with Win10 or bite the bullet and install Win11. I'd hate to miss out on potential future Video Enhancements that are only available with Win11 especially when the video card is by far the biggest expense of this new PC build. But it's all got to work. As long as it looks, feels and works like Win10 (and Win7) I'll be happy with it. Of course, I'll want all my stuff to work well there's never any guarantees of that.

Thanks for the reply. I couldn't help but to think that the 4080 has to be faster regardless of price, I just wasn't sure what the other post was saying. That said, the specific card I'm looking at is just over $3k Canadian and is Not Water Cooled. That amounts to half of the price I'm paying for top-end PC Parts to build my new machine (specifically for DCS which I have not even clicked on in over 3 years now). MSI Gaming (MSI) GeForce RTX 4090 24GB GDDR6X PCI Express 4.0 Video Card RTX 4090 GAMING X TRIO 24G Looks like a great card and should work well with my HP Reverb G2 which I just received yesterday. I plan on getting the AMD Ryzen 9 7900X - 12-Core 4.7 GHz - Socket AM5 - 170W Desktop Processor (100-100000589WOF) WATER COOLED and > GIGABYTE B650E AORUS MASTER AM5 LGA 1718 AMD B650 ATX Motherboard DDR5, Quad M.2, PCIe 5.0, USB 3.2 Gen2X2 Type-C, AMD WiFi 6E, Intel 2.5GbE LAN, Q-Flash Plus, EZ-Latch Plus with 64 gb RAM Among other things including a better refresh rate Monitor and a new Chair and some goodies for mounting my VKB Gunfighter MkII and Warthog Throttle. I just have to make sure everything matches up to each other and confirm it'll perform as needed. If any of you folks see anything in this list that makes you scratch your head or where you think I can do better (quality ... price isn't really an issue ... for the first time in my life), please speak up. I do prefer AMD over Intel although I have no idea if the Processor has the New architecture or not. I am currently using the Ryzen 7 - 7200 and have had Zero issues with it or anything else on my system but it is not good enough with a 1060 video card and it's all about 7 years old. Time for a new (and likely my last) smokin' flying machine.

Sorry ... I'm late to the discussion but interested in purchasing a new GPU along with Everything Else within the next couple weeks (max). I will be shopping on Newegg.ca I just purchased the HP Reverb G2 headset and want to get the best bang for my $$. I'm just trying to discern whether you are saying that the 3080 is better than the 4080 or visa versa ? Thanks in Advance. PS> Does anyone use Water Cooled GPU's ?

I'm impressed with ED's interest in this forum thread. We have a new site with tons of issues (i.e. Painfully Slow Loading Pages, Email Notifications for Every Single Post, Email Notifications of Posts in threads I am NOT SUBSCRIBED to, Seemingly Difficult to Navigate the new layout etc). It's super annoying that these issues have not yet been addressed. But then if no one from ED even looks at this Forum Thread that deals with "Forum and Site Issues" then why even have this thread ?

Ever since this Forum has been changed I am continuously receiving Notification Emails from Topics/Threads I have NOT Subscribed to and I cannot find how to Unsubscribe from Topics/Threads that I'm Not Subscribed to. Can someone Please inform me how I might stop these emails from coming (without stopping notifications from Topics/Threads that I am subscribed to) ? I have viewed my list of subscriptions and of course, none of those I'm not subscribed to show up so the link at the bottom of the notification emails is Useless ! .. Unless I'm missing something ?

Not only do I dislike this new Forum layout, it just took me an HOUR just to figure out how to post (because I couldn't see whether or not I was Logged in, nor could I see HOW to Login). The thing I dislike the most (now that I found the Login and How to Post) is the Constant Email Notifications to Groups/Topics that I have Never been Subscribed to. And the Link (in the emails) that is supposed to take you to a page to deal with Notifications and/or Subscriptions doesn't seem to do anything (but then I wasn't auto-logged in to begin with). Ultimately, I preferred the Old Forum. At least I could navigate it.

I noticed it a few days ago myself. The alarm would sound when there is a missile launch but I never saw any aircraft or SA's or anything on the RWR. Only the BB.

Okay ... It looks like I'm back in business. I should also note that I also updated Tacview which was out of date and mentioned in one of the Log files. I also turned a bunch of other Modules back ON that I previously turned off trying to diagnose this problem. This had no further adverse effect. So thank you to everyone who replied (and didn't rip my head off). @Chump - Thank you kindly. It appears the advice you gave was the info I needed to get this working again. I am truly grateful. Thanks for everything. And thanks again to everyone to offered help.

I'll check things out to see how and if they are working after I get some coffee in me. In the mean time, I thought I would add the following in response to a couple suggestions. First of all, I don't use Sleep or Hybernate or Screen Savers .... EVER. I do have a 3 platter drives for Data Only and an SSD that I did have DCS installed on for about 1 year (no issues). This current installation of Win10 and DCS is on a new, 1TB M2 Drive that is only 1 year old at most. I'll let you know how it's working by Noon Today (EST).

Hi Chump A while ago I deleted the F-18, ran a repair and tried again ... same thing. I reinstalled the F-18 and tried again ... same thing. I also noticed that my Tacview was out-of-date, so I updated that as well. Still not improvement. However, I deleted the precise files you suggested, ran a Repair and WAS ABLE to get into a Server. Being almost 3am here, I didn't actually try flying. I will give it a shot in a couple different MP Servers in the morning and follow up with an Update. But so far it looks like this nightmare might well be resolved. I'm certainly further along now that I was yesterday so that's a really good thing. SO thank you kindly for that. I'll let you know in the morning if the matter is permanently resolved. Until then ... merci.

I'm up for that BUT ... can you please inform me which Files and/or Folders to Delete and where I can find them ? Alternately, should I try uninstalling the F-18 (somehow) ?

Why ? Does it appear the problems are (at least in part) coming from the F-18 ? I have yet to sit in the F-18 or F-16. I'll gladly uninstall or delete whatever I have to ... as long as we aren't talking about a complete reinstall yet. That takes DAYS for me to do where I am.
