m0zz Posted December 31, 2021 Share Posted December 31, 2021 There was no file named d3dx-user.ini, in the bin folder in DCS, so I created one in notepad++. I went into the new file and gave it full access rights. No joy, it still won't save when I hit LALT+F12 it just reverts back to the original settings. Is there anything else I can try.

I noticed that your file had entry's for kegety's mod which I don't use. I edited all of your entry's out and when I tried to save my entry's it wouldn't work. By the way, when I created the d3dx_user.ini I used the underscore, I just made a mistake when typing my previous post. Thanks anyway. Maybe lefuneste01 might have a solution.

Sr. Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 Another oddity: Lately, if I open the options to show on screen, then save (Alt+F12)... the menu closes from it's normal position (upper left) but is then stuck being displayed on the right MFCD/TGP display when flying the A-10C II.

average_pilot Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 I knew about this mod recently when asking about any fix for the poor performance of the craters. As far as I can tell only the CBU fix is activated but I get scratches like this in the canopy glass: As I'm still unfamiliar with the mod I'm a bit lost about why the scratches are resized like that.
