I haven't had any issues yet. Haven't scrutinized it to see that it's behaving the correct way but as far as bugs or crashes goes...it's good

I'm having this issue after installing the mod for the last version of DCS

Are you guys using the v22?  I updated this about a month ago.  Just forgot to comment that it is updated.

I'm on latest Beta, MT with V22. Haven't tried it without MT, perhaps this is the problem...

Works fine for me with v22 on current MT OB 2.9.1.48335.

No issue for me too (Open Beta). Do you use ST or MT version?

No any issue with v22. No any errors ...

1. Did you clean fxo and metashaders before you are starting to use the new version?

2. It could be problem of your other mod I suppose, check all your mods, step by step removing it.

It helped me was removing all mods from JSGME and uploading them again.

Is there a way to adjust the smoke markers so they actually mark my targets, not conceal them in smoke?

I was always thinking that you aren't supposed to drop the smoke on target, but instead report the target bearing and distance from smoke. Otherwise you would indeed just mask the target with a smoke dense enough to be clearly seen from the sky.

I mean the marker smoke in DCS, i.e instant action missions where targets are marked with colored smoke, I struggle through CCD/ IR WH and BH to see anything in the smoke.

I understand, but it kind of always was wrong like that, wasn't it? Luckily training missions are editable, so if I'm bothered with something or want to try something else, I just go and edit them.

[Pyrocumulous]

which arguments in SmokeMarker.lua should be edited to reduce volume and/or increase translucence on smoke markers?

Works fine with the latest BETA version. Smoke looks a bit pixelized in close view.

I merged them (added the Explosion Mod on top of Better Smoke) as there were only two files in common.  Seems to work ok.
