Mission Loading Screen(s) Missing

[Steve Gee]

I run 3 monitors at 1 screen/5760x1080 (old and going blind) and the F-14's loading screen has never worked for me. I reported it before about 6 months back, but it pretty much got blown off so I figured I'd wait until the two year mark came, which was when the Tomcat was originally planned to be completed, but that didn't work out due to Covid and other factors so here I am again.

 

When a mission loads for any plane in DCS, eventually there will be a "splash screen" or whatever it's called, showing a lovely picture of the aircraft you are about to attempt to land on a carrier deck, for example. Usually with black widescreen TV borders with one side of the aircraft coming outside of them. Well, when that screen is supposed to happen I see nothing but the same old cloud background that you see when the mission initially loads. I see all the stages the mission is going through while it loads and even the aircraft designator at the bottom, but no plane picture.

 

I'm not running any mods whatsoever. I have run many a full repair after numerous patches and it's NEVER worked. Viggen's splash screen works fine, F-14 no workie ever.

It is not implemented yet like that. What you can do is use the Tomcat theme - it does change the many screens, loading one included. Some users made pretty images of F-14 with black bars and you can use those for a loading screen with custom theme but I was never able to do it that I have that loading screen of the aircraft I load mission for - it's either always Tomcat or all other but the Tomcat
