Windows 10 sometimes does not close the process, but suspends it, which the app continues to see as running as it's in the process list still.

This AFAIK, is a Windows 10 setting somewhere.

Can I use this tool to move my installation to another drive? How? I'm worried that the copying files from installation directory from disc to another disc may cause problems...Help please.

Hi Skatezilla, thanks for all the work on your fine app.

Part of my interest in it is to use it to auto-start TrackIR and SRS. TrackIR seems to work fine, but I'm getting exception errors with SRS, stating that it's unable to find the file. I've correctly located the directory. TS3 and Tacview also works fine after locating the directory.

I've noticed that the check box/radio button doesn't seem to be sticky for SRS, which makes me think maybe it's failing to save config info? I've tried combinations of running your updater and SRS as administrator just in case it's a UAC issue.

Also, and this is totally a minor issue, the tooltips for Tacview and SRS are both incorrect (they refer to TrackIR).

Thanks for any help you can give me

Fixed in next build

The ToolTips as well as a code error that replaced / changed the SRS Launch Path resulting in the exception error.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
   <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

Awesome tool, thanks Zilla :)

I dont know if it has been requested yet, but I would love to see an option to turn the sound of the tool itself off..

imacken · September 1, 2019

Bizarrely, my Utility has started taking about 2 minutes to load - about 1'55" longer than normal!

Any ideas?

Crazy! This just started happening to me too. I play DCS virtually every day, and all of a sudden the Utility takes a long time to load. I didn't change anything. Maybe it was the latest .NET update?

Fear-Infidel · September 1, 2019

Hey guys, I'm having the same freeze issue mentioned above

pepin1234 · September 1, 2019

Second that. The app Get launched after 3 min wait.

Ishbob88 · September 2, 2019

Same. Taking forever to launch the GUI now. Wonder what the problem is all of a sudden.

Oesau · September 2, 2019

Got the same thing here - got to be a windows 10 update???

flyelmo · September 2, 2019

Same here, the Launcher takes about 3 Minutes start Up.

bkthunder · September 2, 2019

Well, same thing for me just now. Played yesterday (literally 8-10 hours ago), worked flawlessly.

Today I turn it on and bam, frozen for a while. No windows update was installed AFAIK...

KaMe_90 · September 2, 2019

Same here. Does not open anymore.

Even more bizzarrely, it's working OK again now!

Windows 10 had a high CPU Usage update, then rolled out a hotfix.

Love this App, Thank You!

Howdy,

Custom Launch script: looking to do a quick little auto relaunch script, and wondering do i input like was making a bat file into the custom script field? Sorry first go at a some what human free running server.

Script is

@echo off

:loop

Start "" /high "P:/ my file bath"

timeout /t 14400 >null

taskkill /f /im DCS.exe >nul

goto loop

Please PM me with a screen shot, or code, if you don't mind,

Write it like a Batch.

The App will save contents of text box as a .bat,

Then process the startup routine, executing the batch script first, pausing for 10 seconds then launching DCS.exe as normal.
