Have you updated your GFX drivers? Also try removing SweetFx if you're using it.

 

Also, what do your logs say? (C:\Users\[username]\Saved Games\DCS\Logs)

[Esac_mirmidon]

Try deactivating your antivirus.

[BIGNEWY]

please attach your whole logs folder zipped and your autoupdate_log.txt

 

Also bare in mind the old mp green icon is no longer used and can be deleted

Tried a complete uninstall then clean installation of 1.5, but still will not launch. Log files as follows:

Also, I notice that the DCS installers exe 3 to 10 downloaded to my system, but no sign of 1 and 2?

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Happy landings,

Thanks 56RAF_Talisman,

 

it would be more useful to see the whole logs folder it will give us more info, and your autoupdate_log.txt from the main instal location.

I will do my best to help you

 

a guide can be found in my signature.

Ok, fixed problem.

When I selected DCS full uninstall, it actually left a DCS folder in program files. When I deleted this folder the fresh installation worked ok, so must have been something in the old program files folder that caused a conflict. Shame the uninstaller did not fully uninstall DCS and all associated folders.

 

Now have a new problem, lol. The module manager lets me download the Mig 15 that I own, but not the P51D for some frustrating reason :mad:

 

Thanks for your positive replies folks.

 

Happy landings,

check your p-51 is bound to your ED account

again if you attach your logs folder and autoupdate_log.txt it will give us some clues

Carried out a DCS repair and then my P51D was suddenly delivered :)
