Can't fly BF 109K-4 in 1.52

[Gunnergolly]

Have just been trying to fly the K-4 in the "instant action" mission, however once loaded the mission starts in the "F10" map view ?? and i cannot select "F1" cockpit view which it should default to anyway.

 

It's the same whichever "instant action" mission i choose and the same thing happened when i tried a creating and starting a mission from the mission editor (the K-4 was selected as player flyable). The K-4 single player missions also starts by default in to the "F10" mode, i can select the "F2" external view but not the "F1" cockpit view ??.

 

I have tried uninstalling the K-4 Module, doing a DCS repair and then reinstalling the K-4 module but exactly the same behavior occurs. The serial number displays correctly for the K-4 in the module manager.

 

I have no mods installed in my 1.52 installation and the K-4 works perfectly in my DCSW 2.0 installation.

 

Last time i played the K-4 was about a month ago and it was working perfectly.

 

Please could somebody point out the obvious or give me any ideas on how to fix this ??.

 

All my other modules are working fine.

 

Thanks.

I had that happen when in the past, I cant remember the cure, might have been the game not seeing my controls as the cause ?..

[Gunnergolly]

Just checked my control assignments/axis and they were all found to be working ok in the K-4 setup menu.

 

Have tried deleting my C:\Users\username\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta folder, unfortunately it's still starting up in the "F10" map view.

 

If for instance i start the "instant action" Take Off mission then all i get is an AI controlled K-4 on the runway.... it's not recognizing that it's a "Human" K-4 ???.

 

Thanks.

I just remembered that it was in the selecting of a mission while in the editor that was my problem, still I do not remember the cure though. Have you tried selecting a mission from the "instant action" while not in the editor?

Yeah, i've tried starting from the :-

 

Instant action

K-4 single player Mission's

Created my own K-4 mission and started it from within the editor.

 

All default start in the F-10 Map screen ??.

Are you sure you have selected "Player" for the skill level of your plane in Mission Editor?

If you don't all you get is a demo with AI pilots; just as if you had no license for the plane (it happened to me).

My install seems to have some kind of weird memory problem, almost like some kind of cloud storage is screwing up my saved tracts

[Gunnergolly]

Yes i was definitely set to "player" when i made my own mission in the ME to test.

 

However that should not have any effect on the pre-made "instant action" and "single player" missions that came with the K-4.

 

I will try and deactivate and then re-register the K-4 module.

 

Thanks.

I tried to deactivate my K-4 module but it will not allow me to, comes up with the error below :-

 

 

Does this mean that i have used up my activation's,..... but i've only ever installed it once ??.

Looks strange.

Maybe your activation is FUBAR, and that is why you cannot use your controls.

 

I would try to post in the Payment and Activation section, and/or submit a ticket to ED.

It looks like it can't deactivate it because it doesn't see it as activated. I'd try just deleting the Bf-109 files, including from your saved games folder, and running the module installation again, but as you have already done so, perhaps something as drastic as a complete re-install of 1.5.2, and re-naming the saved games installation files so they are created anew.

 

If that works, then drop the original saved games files back in a few at a time and see if the problem shows up again. If it does, just delete the offending files and the game will re-establish them when you next run it.

 

I'd also see what solutions have been suggested for other people who have had the same issue with other modules. There have been a number of similar threads here, and you can bet your bottom dollar it'll be the same thing.

[Gunnergolly]

Thanks for your replies.

 

Haven't had much time to play around with this today, but have made a little bit of progress.

 

By removing the activation key in the registry using the K-4 code from this thread :-

 

http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/Problem_with_Activation

 

I can now activate/deactivate the K-4 module using the Bf109K4_protect .exe.

 

It's saying that i have 8 activation's left.

 

If i have the K-4 module deactivated and start up DCSW 2.0 and start the "instant action" mission then i will get prompted to enter the serial key and then it will load up into the cockpit view.

 

If i have the K-4 module deactivated and i try the same with DCSW 1.52 then it does not prompt me for the serial number and loads directly into the F-10 view.

 

I will probably move this thread into the payment and activation forum, and have a good search around myself when i have more time.

 

Thanks

Yes i am using open beta 1.52, i tried the multiplayer ACG WW2 server and it will not allow me to select the K-4.

 

I can select the Fw-190 and P-51 no problem.

[nsksleeper01]

please try it in the stable, i think open beta is not longer supported, because stable is now 1.5.2

This should not make a difference, open beta is still suported.

[Gunnergolly]

Moderators please would you move this thread to the Payment and Activation section.

 

http://forums.eagle.ru/forumdisplay.php?f=38

 

In hindsight i should have started this thread there as i feel it might possibly receive more attention in that forum.

 

Otherwise i'm going to have to start a new thread myself and have to explain the above all over again.

 

Thank you to those of you who have replied, if you have any more ideas than please keep them coming as i'm stuck at the moment.

 

Downloading the whole game (31Gb) again for one module is going to be an absolute last resort !!!... probably not going to happen.

Eventually i just ran out of ideas and things to try and so i just deleted my DCS 1.52 Beta installation and downloaded and installed the 1.52 Release version.

 

I now have my K-4 back up and running, it was working perfectly a month ago in my 1.52 Beta, but something has obviously been corrupted in that time.

 

Thanks.
