Anyone else having this problem Try re-activating those modules, my 1.54 update deactivated all of my modules giving that issue. Regards, Ian.

johnco61 Posted July 13, 2016 Author Posted July 13, 2016 Thanks for the quick response, how do you deactivate them?
MadDog-IC Posted July 13, 2016 Posted July 13, 2016 (edited) Thanks for the quick response, how do you deactivate them? To: Activate / re-install Ingame top of main screen, square symbol (Module Manager) > Modules > click Install button next to modules not listed as BUY. Then to check if activated go back to (Module Manager) > Installed > Will have a DRM button next to each module that can now be used to activate and deactivate that module, most of all should already be activated, but the upgrade removed those modules as if they were third party MODS to the _Backup folders in the root directory of DCS world.

johnco61 Posted July 14, 2016 Author Posted July 14, 2016 No that doesn't work! There's two things you can do in that tab, you can disable the aircraft's, or delete. When I delete them it closes back to the desktop, then an on screen message asks permission to alter files, select yes and it closes. When I go back into the sim the aircraft is still listed as installed. Don't understand why you would want to disable it but that doesn't do anything either. Any ideas?
funkyfranky Posted July 14, 2016 Posted July 14, 2016 Do you have other modules that work? Can you fly instant or training missions with the two that don't work? Did the problem occur after an update? If you only get the spectator view, it is very likely that the module is not properly activated. Hence, the advice to de- and reactivate. You could also try a DCS repair.

That is the point, if you don't have the DRM button next to the ED module in the "INSTALLED TAB" picture 2 of previous post, then the module isn't installed/activated properly. So you need to go into the "Modules TAB" as in Picture 1 in above post, the one you buy all modules from and scroll down to the L-39 or Huey and click the INSTALL BUTTON (IF AVAILABLE, If it says buy for the non working modules then this isn't your problem). Lastly go back into the "INSTALLED TAB" and just see if you now have the DRM button to activate/deactivate those modules. If the DRM button is there and the key is shown, it will be ready to be played. Disable is for modules you might want to have loaded but haven't actually bought and activated, it allows you to edit missions,etc for that plane, and will stop the game from asking for a serial activation every time you play a game with any bought/activated module.

Thanks for all your help John No worries, this 1.54 patch was a major PITA for me, strange how it varies for all other users thought, it is like a lucky dip these days as to what it will do. Glad you got it sorted. Catch ya.
