Help for print screen

[VMFA-Blaze]

I'm really having a problem with the mission editor.. I contacted support and they need a Screen shot of the problem..

 

What's happening is when I create a carrier mission it loads fine if I don't add any aircraft.. But when I do add aircraft craft the mission loads but there isn't any graphics. It just a blue/green screen,

The screen is like the mission builder screen, but its not interactive...

 

Support wants me to supply a screen shot but I can't...

 

Does anyone have a clue to what actually is going on??

Am I missing something or is this a bug. What's the remedy???

Did you set the skill of the pilot to "player"?

[VMFA-Blaze]

Yes I did but when I run the mission there isn't any graphics.. I contacted the technicians.. They want me to send file logs to them.. I've spent several hours trying to send them the requested files without success

 

This is a real issue. How to I fix this????

Hi Blaze, can you post the mission here?

 

Click "go advanced"

 

Click "Manage Attachments"

 

A pop-up window will appear. Click "choose file" and use the file browser to pick your .miz

 

Click "Upload" then "Close this window" once the upload has completed (it should only take a second or two if the file is small)

 

 

What you're describing sounds like what happens when you either a) don't own the module or b) have not set any aircraft to "player" or "client." If you upload the mission one of the folks around here can take a look and make sure it's not a problem with the settings.

 

Just as a quick dummy check, confirm also that the aircraft type is set to the lot 20 F/A-18 (should be yellow in the list) and not the normal F/A-18C :thumbup:

Hi Blaze,

 

I see your dxdiag file in the attachment but it doesn't look like the mission is in there.

 

Please upload the .miz file from wherever you saved it.

 

The default location for user missions in DCS Open Beta is "C:/users/YOURUSERNAME/Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Missions

 

The default location for user missions in DCS stable is "C:/users/YOURUSERNAME/Saved Games/DCS/Missions

 

You should be able to upload the .miz directly here without changing file types or zipping it. Your system is well within acceptable specs so I'm inclined to think there's an issue with the mission file.

Ok thanks for your help.. I'm having a real issue trying to find the saved games folder.. I think there is a problem somewhere but I can't really find I.. I've spent hours with no end in sight..

 

I'm going to give it some time to cool off and will try again later..

 

The only problem I'm having is with carrier based missions. These so much that I have to learn yet.. I've been away from DCs for a long time while waiting for the FA/18.

 

I'll continue to work on the carrier based missions but for now I'm learning the JTAC system for the Maverick in the FA/18.

 

 

So thanks again.. If you have an idea why I cant enter the mission editor please let me know..

 

 

Fly Safe

Try doing a search (there should be a place to type when you hit the windows key) for *.miz

 

That will find any .miz files on your PC and tell you where they are.

Hi Thank you for spending so much time with me in trying to help me fix my problem..

 

I actually think that I've solved the problem.. I had some prior issues with DCS not loading.. I had contacted the tech portal and they recommended the I reinstall the game.

 

So then I went to the mission builder and the missions where still present.. I tried to open these missions but when I loaded up the mission and tried to fly a blue map screen came up.. And there wasn't any graphics..

Needless to say I was really puzzled by all of this..

 

So after I contacted you I began to see a solution to this. I just want to say thank you again. I went to the MS search and typed miz. and found all of the missions. I decided to delete them'

 

This is what solved my problem I now can create carrier mission again. I guess that after I reinstalled the game these missions became corrupted...

 

Again.... you guys are awesome..

 

 

Respectfully Submitted

 

Blaze
