COMDZERO Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 i was busy working on mission creation when all of a sudden the editor started malfunctioning. I am not able to allocate all types of active units or static units to all coalitions in the editor. It also does not display all coalitions available in the mission when allocating. Specifically red ands blue coalition. It does the same in other missions I created. I uninstalled beta and reinstalled. appears to not have resolved the issue. Issue started prior to yesterday's update and after. Reinstalled everything - same issue log files included DMPS.log dcs.log Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solution Rudel_chw Posted September 22, 2022 Solution Share Posted September 22, 2022 Try this: rename the folder C:\Users\User\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\MissionEditor\ to C:\Users\User\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\MissionEditor.bak\ With this, DCS will recreate a default mission editor settings folder.

You had reinstalled DCS, so it couldn’t be a problem caused by DCS itself. The problem presented on several missions, so it couldn’t be a mission corrupted. So, the cause of your issue had to be something within /saved games/dcs/ .. letting DCS rebuild its MissionEditor preferences seemed like a god bet For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends … that folder contains items that may be useful to you, for example your aircrafts custom loadouts, your custom Group Templates, your logbook, your campaign progress status … it is a small folder, I would keep it in case I ever need to restore one of these items. 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
