SkateZilla Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Hi Everyone... I was updating my DCS to 2.5.6 the current newest version.. since I did the update I can't change any thing... for example if I try to change RCS value from 5 to 6 in the PlaneConst.lua - the game won't run.. It will try to load up - than disappear in the background never loading even the main menu... I mean I can't change files...... why is that? I wanna modify files like MissileData.lua and PlaneConst.lua but I can't... It Won't let me.. same with the F-16 FCR .. I wanna change TWS name in the FCR .. but every time I change anything in the file - the radar screen will not show up normally... Can't be used during flight .... so I wanna make changes - like in 2.5.5 - but it Won't Work on the new update... any help? Not a Bug, Modifying Core Files will trigger Manifest/Security Control to Either Disable A Module or Close DCS (if core files are modified).

GGTharos Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 May not be a bug but it is a problem, as in a change from how it was before. Why restrict this at all? Personal mods/changes should not cause any problems. This is a change from how it was before so it's a valid issue/complaint. It prevents any and all tinkering which is a change of stance from ED's side. On the user's/customer's size there was no good reason to do that, it's a frustrating and hurtful move. Some of us make corrections that ED won't do even though they're single line changes with proof provided. Some just wish to experiment ... none of this is actually hurting anyone in any way. Do we really have to start building entire modules so that we can get some small, simple things that we want? All of those are valid questions and it would be good to get them answered.

SkateZilla Posted July 11, 2020 Posted July 11, 2020 Modified Files go into the /Saved Games/ folder. Will inquire about PlaneConst being locked down. Also, Please attach logs. its possible something else maybe causing DXS not to finish loading.

GGTharos Posted July 18, 2020 Posted July 18, 2020 Actually my change to PlaneConst worked. Go to multiplayer and click on the red shield, see if you have any other modified files.

GGTharos Posted July 19, 2020 Posted July 19, 2020 I have the latest beta. Again, check if any other files are modified. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
