DCS hangs trying to open the following 2 missions in ME

[unknown]

I checked the weather settings of most of the quickstart missions for the F-14 today by opening them in the MissionEditor. I encountered a problem trying to open the following two missions:

- F-14B_IA_Caucasus_Dance_of_the_Vampires

- F-14B_IA_PG_tour

 

If i try to open them DCS shows me the loading screen, loading bar moves but stops at some point and nothing is happening. If i "alt+tab" to windows and right click the DCS icon in my task bar -> click on close DCS opens a window asking me if i'm sure to exit -> clicking yes but nothing happens. I have to close DCS via the taskmanager.

I tried this a couple of times, also waited for minutes but the mission was never loaded in the ME.

 

Attached are both missions copyed from the C:\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F14\Missions\QuickStart filepath + the log files(6 total). Only the Log "dcs - Kopie (4)" has additional entries at the end "DCS Device unplugged" -> i didn't unplug anything nor did i here a windows sound played.

 

I don't use any mods, did delete fxo/metashader2 folder and run a DCS repair for file checking after updating to 2.7

They were ditched around the release of the module. The files are still left behind but you won't run them through IA menu in DCS. Just ignore.

Ok thanks. 

Any idea why these files are not deleted with an DCS update or atleast after running an repair? Or marked after running the repair as additional files with the option to delete them like my audio files for the JF-17 MP3 player?

Apparently they are included in the module files pack. Question "why?" goes to HB.

I keep them around with the thought "one day I shall fix them"
