[REPORTED] Cannot load DSMS with new weapons

[csatlos]

Anyone else having issues loading DSMS after re-arming with new AGM-65L or APKWS munitions?

 

Doesn't matter how many times I try LOAD ALL or LOAD DSMS, the DSMS page still has several red pylons. I'm also unable to manually set the red stations to the correct APKWS munition through the INV page.

Negative, have had a successful load of the DSMS after selecting the new weapons - from initial request from the ground crew, to rearming requests of same or different weapon types during a single session with multiple sorties.

 

It wasn't required when I performed initial and following rearms - but did you try clearing the weapon profiles from the profile page in the DSMS, and then try reloading the DSMS (or load ALL)?

Yeah, no issue here, if you can save a short track showing what's going on we can check it out, but right now I am not seeing it.

Can you upload a track or the mission?

I had similar situtaion - during cold start, after systems power up in DTS Upload page there are no dots by sides of upload uptions, so I can't uplod DSMS. It self apeard after 1-2 mins.

I did it just now - from MFCDs power up and DTS Upload page it took 3-5 mins to moment I could press Load All OSB.

Thank you for the info. Based on your comment, I tried removing both A-10C and A-10C II modules, reinstalling them, and then doing a full (slow) repair. It now seems to work on some servers but not all. Perhaps the issue is related to the mission design?

Hi

 

I can only reproduce in your mission, is there modified loadouts or files of any sort?

 

thanks

This has been a problem for ages.

 

When the "Prepare Mission" function is used from the Mission Editor (*), a bunch of additional folders appear in the mission file (and consecutively in the track file), like "CDU", "DSMS", "IFFCC" and some more.

 

With this "DSMS" folder present in a mission file, reloading the DSMS with anything other than the initial loadout always results in this type of error.

 

Within a mission, there's nothing you can do about it.

 

As a mission designer, make sure that mission files don't include the "DSMS" folder. As a user, if you can access the mission file (in Singleplayer), you can open it with any tool that can open Zip files, remove the DSMS folder, save it, and afterwards you're good to load whatever weapons you please. ;)

 

(*) There's at least one case where this happened in a mission from Baltic Dragon during testing; when he said he didn't use "Prepare Mission", I trust that he didn't. But I've never figured out what other action would cause the DSMS folder (and others) to be saved into a mission file.

Amazing. This totally was the issue. I opened the mission file with 7-Zip and deleted all the "settigns" folders like DSMS, TAD, TGP, SADL, etc. Reloaded it on a server and now it works like a charm. Thank you very much Yurgon.

Thanks BIGNEWY for looking at this. I suppose this is still a bug (???) and not intended functionality but does not appear related to A-10C II.

DSMS Faulty in Mission Editor

 

Hello, i spotted this problem in the A-10C 2 aswell as the legacy version.

 

Upon loading the mission editor and placing either A-10 and starting to fly, my DSMS page ALWAYS shows something in red and in general, the loadout is wrong.

 

I already tried:

 

1. Re-Loading the DSMS
   
2. Trying to laod the station via the INV menu
   

 

Sometimes e.g. with the new laser-guided rockets, i don't even have the option for "rockets" in the INV page neither. This really is game-breaking for me. Making a new mission or replacing the plane within the misison doesnt help.

 

As you can see in the attachement, on station 2 there should be nothing (yet it's red) and the other two red station should be both LG-Rockets

 

And when i load an entirely empty plane it shows the previous loadout all in red???

[Snoopy]

Track? I haven’t had any issues with the DSMS so far

Take a look at this thread, in particular post #9 This worked for me as I was having a similar issue to you.
