Aircraft in Flaming Cliffs 3 require serial # each time the game is started

[Schnauz]

Every time I start DCS World it requires me to reenter the serial number for several of the aircraft in FC3. The SU27, MIG29, F-15 and the A10 all require it. Is this a bug and if so, is there a known cure? I tried to redownload but it wants me to another $49 for it. Any help would  be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

Not a bug, this sometimes happen when you are using an FC3-based User Mod aircraft, like older VSN mods. Attach your dcs.log file to make a better diagnosis.

I've been having this issue as well. It started happening for me after the holidays.

It's not the same issue ... your's its most likely caused by a wrong date/time on your PC .. this precludes proper credentials authorization.

Hmm, well my computers date/time is correct, and DCS asks for serial numbers for all FC3 aircraft every start.

Check also that your time zone is correct. Also, look at this:

Thanks,

I turned off the auto time settings and sync'd. Also did a full file verification check on DCS.... still asks for FC3 serial numbers.

OK, if the time & date are correct, and the files are checked, then the only other explanation would be a conflict with one of the many User Mods that you are using ... let's do a quick test:

 

1) Using Windows, rename the folder C:\Users\JNC\Saved Games\DCS\Mods ... to Mods.bak

2) Try starting DCS again.

 

If it works, then one of your Mods is conflicting. If it still doesnt work, then I'm out of ideas

Same issue, thanks for trying anyway.

Seems you will have to open a Support Ticket for this issue, it's very strange.

I had FC3 planes installed separately some how, so had to delete them with the module manager.

fixed

OK, so you have had this issue for a long time then, since the last free preview of February. I was making suggestion based on the assumption that you did have the licenses for these aircrafts. Glad you sorted it out.
