firmek Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 (edited) Mods\aircraft\F14\Sounds\EditorMusic "MainMenuIn.ogg" and "MainMenuLoop.ogg" sound files are mixed. When F-14 theme is selected in DCS this results in: 1. menu music playing only once 2. black screen and DCS freeze on exit Replacing files with each other fixes above problems.

Eldur Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Good catch on #2 there. I never had that and was wondering why people kept reporting this. I changed the music right on the day when the F-14 came out 'cos I already had a good bit of the soundtrack packed to one ogg file in there for months

RaisedByWolves Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 What do you mean replace files with each other?

firmek Posted April 2, 2019 Author Posted April 2, 2019 Firmek??? You're asking how did I find out? It's not really that interesting :) I just wanted to see if I can fix the menu theme as I really liked the music and the fact it was playing only once was really disappointing. I used to mod the theme so I knew where to check the files. I also wanted to check the wallpaper as the one currently included is really distorted in wide screen resolutions. After fixing the music the black screen problem disappeared. Just to confirm I switched the files back - problem was back again. To double check I tested if switching to theme from another modules solves the problem - which did and clearly indicated it's not DCS but F-14 issue. Aside of that the "in" file was locked (in explorer) when the game was freezing on a black screen which indicated it's still in use by the application.

Sickdog Posted April 11, 2019 Posted April 11, 2019 I’m resurrecting this puppy from deep in the bowels of page 7.... Any acknowledgement from HB on fixing this? (Ok don’t throw rocks at me, I haven’t updated yet today but didn’t see any mention of this in the change log so assuming it’s not fixed internally yet... sorry if it is!) But assuming it’s not fixed, isn’t this an easy one to tackle? Gonna try tired of renaming these files update after update to prevent a hang when exiting DCS. Thanks!

firmek Posted April 12, 2019 Author Posted April 12, 2019 Gonna try tired of renaming these files update after update to prevent a hang when exiting DCS. Thanks! A bit easier way is to just copy paste the "Mods" folder from the backups to the DCS main. Probably some of us do it anyway to restore the mods after an update. Not that it shouldn't be rather easy to fix ;) Anyway, not a big deal. Great job with F-14 Heatblur.
