captflyby Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) 03-23-2018 I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this mystery. The whole squadron participated last night, problem yet unresolved. ________________ Win 10 64bit all updates i7 1 TB SSD 32G RAM Nvidia 1080Ti all drivers up to date DCS 2.5.0.15365 Harrier, F-5E, M-2000C Logs included for those who understand such things... ________________ Purchased the Harrier in Jan ? about. No problems. Was working fine under DCS 2.5.0 prior to the last 2 updates. (Not saying the updates caused the problem.) Stopped flying it a bit in order to transition to a second aircraft. During this time, DCS has had two updates. Last night tried to fly the Harrier. HUD displays upper direction tape. HUD displays airspeed and altitude. HUD displays all info on lower left and lower right of the HUD. In the center - there is no horizonal earth reference. Also, ladder is missing. You cannot tell when straight and level without reference to backup artificial horizon. _________________________ Checked forums yesterday. Found "missing ladder" post. Downloaded and installed correction HUD_Definitions.lua file. Did NOT work. __________________________ Checked recent DCS patches - others in my squadron, no problem. Checked switches in the cockpit - but after going out & back in, all should be reset - did not work. Set INS to NAV. Set DMT to ON. Checked M-2000C. HUD works fine. Checked Harrier in single and in multiplayer - still no ladder - in either. Checked Caucuses vs. Nevada maps. Did not work in either. Rebooted DCS. Did not work. Rebooted computer. Did not work. Did a clean on DCS. Then did a DCS repair - per DCS instructions. Did not work. Uninstalled the Harrier. Rebooted the entire computer, then reinstalled the Harrier. Did not work. ______________________________ We have reached the end of what we can think of to do. Before removing DCS completely, and having all that install to do again, I thought I'd ask for anyone that might have encountered similar situation, and how it was resolved. Thanks in advance for any advice you can give. Edited March 23, 2018 by captflyby
captflyby Posted March 23, 2018 Author Posted March 23, 2018 Is the INS switch on "NAV"? Yes. INS is set to NAV. DMT is on.
RED Posted March 23, 2018 Posted March 23, 2018 (edited) Set the textures to a higher level and test again. GL edit: Deleting the metashader or fxo folder in savedGames might help, too. The combination helped me with the same problem Edited March 23, 2018 by RED

I uninstalled all of DCS, rebooted, and performed new, clean install of just the Caucuses in 2.5.0 and the harrier. Same result. No ladder. Aircraft is effectively unusable until this is corrected.

captflyby Posted March 23, 2018 Author Posted March 23, 2018 Problem solved. Took Red's advice and changed my "textures" setting - which is the first setting in the "system" page of settings for DCS World. The "terrain textures" have NO effect, just the "textures". Set the "textures" to LOW and you will have NO ladder. Set "textures" to HIGH and ladder appears. Red - you are my hero!!! Thanks to all who helped. Hope this will assist if someone else should have the same problem in the future. Note: This only occurs in the Harrier. In the M-2000C HUD worked even when settings were on LOW.
