I am getting this error inside my dcs.log in latest openbeta invalid cx data <weapons.missiles.MBDA_Mistral><./CoreMods/aircraft/SA342/SA342_Weapons.lua> As a consequence I gather that mistral is not configured as declared.

Here are some log lines showing player "xvii-Dietrich" in an FW190 bombing a map building. The building is destroyed. The bomb blast also damages the FW 190. Please note that the Target ID number is missing for the statics and buildings. This is evident in the lines where you see "target=" 2021-04-21 08:52:43.086 INFO Scripting: event:targetPilotName=xvii-Dietrich,type=hit,initiatorPilotName=xvii-Dietrich,weapon=SC 500 J,target=FW-190A8,t=777.59,initiatorMissionID=19699,targetMissionID=19699, 2021-04-21 08:52:43.211 INFO Scripting: event:type=hit,initiatorPilotName=xvii-Dietrich,weapon=SC 500 J,target=,t=777.715,initiatorMissionID=19699,targetMissionID=, 2021-04-21 08:52:43.211 INFO Scripting: event:t=777.715,type=dead,initiatorMissionID=, 2021-04-21 08:52:43.212 INFO Scripting: event:type=kill,initiatorPilotName=xvii-Dietrich,weapon=SC 500 J,target=,t=777.715,initiatorMissionID=19699,targetMissionID=, I will break this down a little more: 1. In the following line you can see the the bomb blast hits the FW190. The Target ID is correct (see green text) 2021-04-21 08:52:43.086 INFO Scripting: event:targetPilotName=xvii-Dietrich,type=hit,initiatorPilotName=xvii-Dietrich,weapon=SC 500 J,target=FW-190A8,t=777.59,initiatorMissionID=19699,targetMissionID=19699, 2. In the following line, you can see where the building hit is logged, however the objects ID / type is not known (text is red): 2021-04-21 08:52:43.211 INFO Scripting: event:type=hit,initiatorPilotName=xvii-Dietrich,weapon=SC 500 J,target=,t=777.715,initiatorMissionID=19699,targetMissionID=, 3. In this line you can see where the building is destroyed (killed). once again the objects ID / type is not known (text is red): 2021-04-21 08:52:43.212 INFO Scripting: event:type=kill,initiatorPilotName=xvii-Dietrich,weapon=SC 500 J,target=,t=777.715,initiatorMissionID=19699,targetMissionID=, Having these details properly recorded in the logs is critical for many servers which collect and display statistical information for their players.

Hey guys I've been trying to solve this for a while, hope someone can help me solve this here. ED troubleshoot - done ED Ticket - done ED - email support - done Reinstalled DCS from scratch - done (and also lost many personal missions and key binds on the way :/) Still no clue. Provided solution is: use a VPN, contact my ISP. Details. Nothing changed on my side, no significant updates that I know, nor any new software, and DCS stopped logging in. It's not the first time this happens, last time, someone in ED TechSupport was able to do something internally, about a year ago. Message is as follows as per dcs.log, attached: >>> ERROR NET: HTTP request dcs:settings failed with error 7: Couldn't connect to server The solution provided was to use a VPN and it works indeed, however, it's a payed service that I don't want to use and I don't have to, to play DCS. I live in Malta. When using a VPN I'm able to connect and noticed that these two servers are used: I'd say that the servers or any policy in regards to the connection to these servers has changed because now I can't get authenticated, obviously. What I can't find is the solution to be able to enjoy DCS without the soar VPN solution, which is btw, expiring soon. (Windscribe) Constructive feedback much appreciated, thanks for your time on this. Thank you. dcs.log

Here's the app: https://www.baremetalsoft.com/baretail/ I didn't write this app nor do I get any benefits from promoting it, just that I don't think many are aware of it and it's usefulness. What this app allows is a live, realtime view of the dcs.log as it's being appended to from DCS and your scripts. The killer feature however is that you can use the HIGHLIGHT system to give colours to key phrases or words so they stand out. Here's a screenshot of how I've set mine up. My Superscript (currently called 'DCSTLC') is broken down into atomic 'Modules' that have one singular function, and each module has it's own three letter name. For each of these names (which I log out to dcs.log with) BARETAIL can read the log entry and if it finds a pattern match it will highlight that line accordingly. This way, the bits you're interested in don't get lost in the sea of other log messages. Hope this helps!
