AstroEma Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 (edited) Hi all, so DCS has been working flawlessly for me since I installed it a few months ago. I have no mods installed or anything like that. I just asked how to reposition the Radio Menu on another thread, I just posted, since I am using 3 screens, and then found the answer: I edited the RadioCommandMenuPanel/ CommandMenu.lua with notepad and changed the MenuWidth=280 to 2200. Now DCS does not start anymore. It starts loading and then it quits when it reaches 100%. Was I not suppose to open the LUA files with notepad? Help! Can't live without DCS! Thank you. E.

AstroEma Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 Nevermind I repaired OpenBeta and it now works. Still would like to know why it happened?? Kaby Lake @ 4.6Ghz - Gigabyte Z170-D3H - 16Gb DDR4 - Gigabyte GTX 1080 G1 OC - Samsung EVO 250Gb SSD - Seagate 1 Tb HDD - HTC Vive - Rift CV1
NeilWillis Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Whenever making changes to lua files, do 2 things. First, make and keep a backup, so you can simply revert back to the original if it goes wrong. Second, and very importantly, DO NOT use notepad to make any changes. There is a free, and far better app called Notepad++, which functions correctly, and is free to download. Only ever use that to edit luas.
