[RESOLVED]Cannot fly the Mi-8 anymore?

[GurbY]

Since the update to 1.5.4 I cannot choose the Mi-8 in mission editor. In the 2.0 version: no problem at all.

I disabled and uninstalled the module, and installed again. However, in ME the Mi-8 is grey, and I cannot select Player..

If I selected the Mi-8 and leave the ME, the system "hangs", won't return to main menu. If I then select a flyable aircraft, I can return to main menu.

 

Furthermore: when I want to exit to desktop: "DCS stopped working".

 

Repair didn't do the job...

Attached. Found that I can select the greyed-out MI-8 as PLAYER, but when I press the green "V", nothing happens. And I can't return to main menu anymore.

possibly a mod problem, do you have any installed and which ones?

 

try deleting DCS World\MissionEditor and do a repair

Only mods I can think of are Starways texture, Frenchys NVG and RWR mod for A10C. But will do as you suggest and post results.

 

**EDIT** deleting the ME folder and repairing did the job; tnx!!

Ok let me know how you get on.

 

It is always best to remove any mods before doing any update, it will rule out any strangeness

Scott, tnx. But I made that a really solid habit: the moment I see the DCS updater, I don't press anything but go to the JSGME editor and remove ALL the mods. Then I press update, and let the game run. If that's ok, I reinstall the mods again.

Must have been something weird, also because a normal repair didn't work out but deleting the ME folder and reparing after that was the thing that helped.

no worries, at least you are back up and running again. Enjoy your flight :)
