RepoManR6 Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I have been working on a short mission to share with the community and I'm almost done. There are a couple problems I keep running into. 1. The DSMS (A-10c-2 keeps showing red weapon stations when there are indeed ordnance there. This has happened before. *T1: Corrective action: I'll unpack the mission and delete the DSMS in avionics. I then repack the mission and load it up in ME - then choose prepare mission. This corrects DSMS *T2: After the process of resolving the DSMS stores, I get an error on the (white box message) that there is no SPI. - Attempted corrective action. Deleting the waypoints. One thing I have noticed if I selective fly over point instead of the "ramp start" this message does not appear. Question: Is there a correct way to resolve the "No SPI" error after deleting DSMS avionics folder? I have searched and I didn't get a lot of answers.

LG-Skyman Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Does it happen after rearm or right in the beginning on the ramp?Wysłane z mojego MI MAX 3 przy użyciu Tapatalka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RepoManR6 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 (edited) It happens right after selecting "prepare mission" from the Mission Editor starting from ramp. I do believe I also tried it while selecting the initial starting point as a "fly over" start with the same results. Somewhere during the save progress of build a mission I think something gets corrupted. I usually create a new save file every so often to prevent .miz file corruption. - Selecting a Ground Crew rearm and reloading DSMS doesn't resolve it either I might add. The DSMS issue possibly is initiated after saving a mission in the Mission Editor. I remember this happening years back as well. It's strange because I will save it manually before selecting preparing mission, then when selecting "prepare mission" it will warn me that the mission wasn't saved (even after I saved it). So I will re-save until ME is satisfied after selecting "prepare mission. Mission Editor sometimes asks for numerous save requests. I tried numerous work arounds for example; selecting a pre-selected loadout. It still happens. Only deleting DSMS in avionics corrects it from the .miz file -> which leads to the SPI being lost. Regarding the SPI being lost on this corrective measure: I found a couple other reports on the "No Spi Error" on other forums after using the *delete DSMS* procedure from unpacking the .miz file.

RepoManR6 Posted February 9, 2022 Author Share Posted February 9, 2022 So I resolved the DSMS issue and tried to figure out a way around the no spi issue from a cold start. I tried selecting a waypoint via TMS as SPI. I read somewhere entering the elevation for each waypoint in the CDU may correct the issue. Selecting Hot start from ramp resolves it. I went further to try to find a solution by going through the .miz avionic lua files comparing them for anything related to SPI seeing if anything stood out. I came up with nothing. Personally I'm tired of recreating planes and way points when I need to move on to testing the mission further in it's timeline of triggered events. I would appreciate anyone from Eagle Dynamics or with some familiar know how to chime in on the issue.
