+1 As Well. DCS/2.5.5.32533

I can confirm this the floating stores. A.I Su-30 with partial missing wings and floating stores. (Still flying it seems). Picture attached. DCS 1.5 in Black Shark campaign.

Adding Ram and BluRay drive change forces reactivation? This is WAY too draconian in my opinion. Adding Ram and changing to a bluray drive are very peripheral and common changes and to force a re-activation on this seems really extreme to me. I'm very unhappy with your activation policy. BTW: Yours was the only module that required reactivation on me making these minor changes to my system.

The problem is in DCS World 1.2.5 but I had this problem in 1.2.4. The mission I'm trying to fly is ATO 1.4. I believe it was working OK in 1.2.3 Immediately after starting the mission I instruct the wingman to conduct a recon for 2 clicks. He reports targets over the radio but I do no receive any datalink messages of target locations. Track file is attached and I issue the recon command at mission time 17:50 NoWingmanReconMessages.trk

I really is time to for DCS to fix smokecloud.pfx It's been around since last year and is a bug plain and simple. Just tested 1.2.5 and it's sill there. There's no excuse for having such a serious bug/oversight in the game around for so long that makes flying the Black Shark unplayable. My hardware is not that old.

Black Shark 2 problems This is what I've noticed playing the Black Shark 2 module My machine is a o/c'd i7 920 with 5850 gfx. Frame rate is much worse for me than 1.2.3. I'm STILL having to delete the file "smokecloud.pfx" in the bazar/effects/PFX foder otherwise the sim is a slide show for me with an avg frame rate of 10 in a mission sometimes going down to 2 or 3 fps when flying low. This bug has been around for a very long time now and there are quite a few people who have this problem. I can't get a lock when lasing a target more than 5kms under any circumstances. 4.9kms is fine. When flying mission 1.4 in the Georgian Oil Campaign (haven't tried others) and having a wingman recon I do not receive any datalink targets when he finds them (I've tried multiple times in multiple situations). If I setup a test mission I do receive them OK.

Yep, massive problem for me as well in. Shooting rockets in Black Shark DCS World 1.2.2 creates a slide show. Just shooting off a pair of rockets causes a massive frame rate hit as soon as they hit the ground. BTW: BS2 1.1.1.1 has no problem. I'm running an Overclocked Core i7 920 with an ATI 5850. People posting in this thread should post their machine specs. It might help narrow down the hardware configurations that are susceptible to this issue.

I'm on the latest NVidia drivers and still getting the crash, for me it happens around 30sec to 1 minute in on the airport defense mission. I had no problems with the "Deployment" campaign. I also did the suggested alterations to the mission (removing the cone formations) but all to no avail. If someone has an altered mission that works I wonder if they could post it. [EDIT] Actually after uninstalling my Soundmax drivers for my Asus P6T Deluxe V2 motherboard and reverting back to windows default it doesn't crash. Strange that this occurs only on one mission (so far) and seems to be a driver problem.

I actually tried all of them.

Thanks for the response dragony. I did install MPlayer but that's all. As far as I know the windows build of MPlayer has the codecs self contained though. I uninstalled it anyway and still the same issue.

I'm getting an exception in AVI Maker when trying to create an AVI from a track file. I've tried a bunch of different options such as resolution, output file location etc but to no avail. Anyone else getting this or know of a work around?
