resolved DSMS Showing Red With No Stores

[Boshar67]

I have been flying the A-10C II for a while now with no problems.  This just started in a self made mission that I have been working on and flown numerous times without a problem.  On cold start the DSMS is showing red on all stores, even though "load all" was done during start up.  I have done a reload all and there is now change.  Any ideas as to why this just started?

In my experience, this happens if you've previously used the Prepare Mission function.

I haven't used Prepare Mission and this occurs even when restarting mission.

Try doing a Reload/Refuel, change the amount of cannon ammo slightly. Then LOAD all when done.

please attach a track replay or mission so we can test it. 

 

As mentioned above there is an issue with prepare mission.

 

thanks

Mission is 14 MB.  Suggestions on how to upload for your review?

The original mission was with a cold start.  When problem first arose, I did a rearm and refuel, followed by a reload on the DSMS.  No luck.  I then changed the mission to a on ramp hot start and same problem.

you can use a cloud link like drop box or google drive. 

 

Track or mission will do fine

 

thanks

Not sure how to do the cloud link.  How do I address it to you?

[BIGNEWY]

if you use a service like google drive you can share the link for the file. It will be in the form of a url.

I have the mission file on google drive now.  How do I address it and send to you?

Are you on a Neutral Base?  Are there weapons in the warehouse?

The link is not yet accessible ("You need access"). Can you set its access level to "Anyone with the link" and post it again?

 

In any case, what you can test yourself: DCS .miz mission files are just zip archives. You can use any zip tool you like to open them (the easiest way is to rename your mission from whatever.miz to whatever.miz.zip and your computer should now allow you to open the zip archive with your preferred zip tool).

 

I can almost guarantee that this mission file will contain a folder called DSMS.

 

Delete it from the mission, and it'll be fine again.

 

"DSMS" and a few other folders do get added when "Prepare mission" is used, but this also sometimes seems to happen during normal mission editing for no apparent reason.

Thanks Yurgon.  I'll give it a try and let you know.

Yurgon, 

Deleted DSMS file per your suggestion and all is well.  Thanks
