Cobra847 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Dear All, Currently there is a crash involving the MiG-21bis in the new 1.5 Open Beta. We are aware of this issue and are working to rebuild our binaries ASAP. Additionally -- a few of our planned fixes have been postponed to the next few patches. (e.g. Red cockpit lights, a few liveries) Apologies for the inconvenience! LNS EDIT: Good news! We have built new temporary binaries for those of you who can't wait to fly the MiG-21 in 2.0. Use this hotfix at your own risk -- it has only been briefly tested. ****Usage Instructions**** 1. Extract the contents of the .rar file. 2. Overwrite the existing binary files located at <DCS Installation>/Mods/Aircraft/MiG-21bis/bin/x86_64 Best Regards, LNS FIX OBSOLETE. Latest patch includes new binaries.

Random Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Ah that sucks! Was looking forward to tearing around in the Mig21! I'm sure you guys will get it sorted though! I should really be going to bed anyway....
Flycat Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 ummmm, I'm downloading the client, thnx your working, and hurry up! dude!
Toybasher Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Do you know if there's any ETA or if a quick hotfix is possible? I think if you select the MiG-21 online it crashes the entire server.
Viersbovsky Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Well, the module manager does not work anyway, so there is no way for me to even activate the Mig21 - It´s no biggie for me. It does cause freezes and CTDs in the encyclopedia though. Callsign "Lion"
grunf Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Things like this are to be expected in beta... Hope you'll sort it out soon.
BlackLion213 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Wow, bummer! Luckily the MiG-21 runs beautifully in 1.2.16 - I now appreciate the benefit of having a separate Open Beta version. :) Hopefully things are sorted out in the next few days, I was really looking forward to the new model and specular maps! Still very happy to try out 1.5, just need to get home. -Nick PS - That was fast! When will this be available via the ED updater? (best guess...I know :)) Guess I might as well try it on my open Beta. Edited October 1, 2015 by BlackLion213

GaryIKILLYOU Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Works as advertised Edited October 1, 2015 by GaryIKILLYOU it worked yo My Specs:Win 10 Pro 64bit/ i7 6770K 4.5Ghz/32GB DDR4/ GTX 1070 SC/Samsung SSD Warthog Stick/TWCS Throttle/TrackIR 5
-Flo- Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Doesn't crash anymore, but the mig won't allow me to pilot it, it is ai controlled edit: switching off antivirus did the trick, works now! Edited October 1, 2015 by -Flo-
S-GERAT Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) Still crashing for me.. always crash when loading terrain surface. After deleting and installing the module again, when replaced the files it works.. pc mysteries I guess.. Edited October 1, 2015 by S-GERAT
BlackLion213 Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Works as advertised Nice! Looks beautiful! Any natural metal skins in there?? -Nick
Stealth_HR Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Can confirm - works in DCS 1.5 Steam edition. Excellent work! :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Real men fly ground attack :pilotfly: where EVERYTHING wants a piece of you :D
Toybasher Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 (edited) When the beta updates, will the binary files be re-overwritten? Like if ANOTHER beta update comes which fixes the MiG-21 completely, will I have to put the old files back in? Like can I do it and not have to touch it ever again when newer updates come out? I don't want to overwrite the old binary files (I probably will) or rename them, forget about it, then later wonder why DCS is not working when the beta updates because I forgot to re-put in the old binaries.

Art-J Posted October 1, 2015 Posted October 1, 2015 Time to go to bed for me, so only tested the hotfix on cold start mission. The mission and the plane loaded perfectly, though another glitch popped up - looks like the AI wingman fell asleep or got drunk after celebrating 1.5 release, as he taxied only a few meters to the front and stopped the plane, unable to turn left on the taxiway :D. Some old tutorial and instant missions will have to be updated it seems. i7 9700K @ stock speed, single GTX1070, 32 gigs of RAM, TH Warthog, MFG Crosswind, Win10.
GauSki Posted October 2, 2015 Posted October 2, 2015 Thanks for the hotfix - got it working now. Is there a way to still get the English cockpit? Mine has gone to Russian although I have english cockpits selected on the menu. GauSki
