nullGood morning

Having issues with Windows update not allowing VR headset to recognize cable.  During a reset of the PC, I lost DCS and Updater apps and had to reinstall.  I copied over my logbook from old to new install, and it shows up when game is flashed up, but the installer does not show any data.  Did I screw up selecting the path )?

Cheers

It says no data because no build is actually selected here.

I noticed the latest launcher can randomly freeze DCS during the mission startup

The loading screen hangs at "Spawn Objects"

This doesn't always happen, its about 50:50

Restarting the PC and using the native DCS.exe resolves the issue.

Tested with multiple modules: F-4, F-14, F-15 and multiple maps

UPDATE: may be unrelated

Apologies, you must also choose a preset in the preset panel, 
It's *supposed* to auto to default depending on the parameters, but I suspect that subroutine isnt firing off correctly.

Selected Preset will have a missile Icon on it.

Hey all!

I'm just getting started in Skate Zilla and for the life of me, I can't get it to find the builds on my computer, nor can I find how to manually point it to my dcs folder. 

Halp!

Disregard last! I found it. Thanks

Hi There,

Is it the apps problem, or DCS problem, if I can not launch Model Viewer?

This is fixed internally, once the latest build passes some testing phases and I remove some things that aren't released, then the public will have a new build.

It doesn't work for me anymore on my new computer build running windows 11. I run it and it will not find my build, mainly because gui button is greyed out... they are all greyed out.. LOL, everything is greyed out. Not sure why it's doing this but it really ticks me off, the DCS repair isn't finding anything wrong with my build, I've lost my WWII assets with this latest hotfix 7/1/25 update to the last update. Closed Beta testing at ED is extremely lacking... 

Okay, figured out how to do it all manually in slot 1, I tell it to update and it tells me I have the latest update, I tell it to repair and it tells me I need the latest update...

Catch 22.....

This is an unofficial utility, it has nothing to do with closed beta testing.
