need track replay Mavs not loading

[Zimmerdylan]

  Anyone know what I could be doing wrong? I set up my plane in the loadout page in the ME and whenever I select Mavs for loadout, they don't seem to make it to the DSMS. When I go to turn them on and set them up, there's just red rectangles on their loadout positions.  I remember this issue from a while back when it would happen after you landed and reloaded. But that was with the older A10-C. 

 I am pretty sure that it's something on my end that I am not doing correctly. I am relatively new to the A10 C II but don't recall having this issue when I was flying it last year. Oh....Yeah.......I haven't flown DCS in a while so it absolutely could be something on my end. 

 

                                                                                                              Thx

Everytime you rearm your aircraft, you have to re-load the DSMS page, even in the A10C2. Have you done that?

That's a bit odd. Can you share a mission where that happens?

There's an ancient issue in DCS where reloading weapons and then reloading DSMS in the mission will always fail unless you reload exactly what was loaded before. It sounds like your issue is a different one, where the loadout set in the Mission Editor already causes a problem on startup; I've never seen this behavior before.

A possible cause might be limited munition stockpiles at the airport you're spawning. Maybe the DSMS gets told "there should be Mavericks" when there are none to be loaded?

  I remember that issue well and it's similar only my MAVs do this with the initial loadout. There is no specific mission. I am starting at Nellis so the availability isn't an issue. I'm loading before the actual mission starts anyway so I don't believe that would be a factor at all.

 I'm just loading DCS back on to my computer and I'm setting up my HOTAS controls. I just set up a mission where I start from the ramp with the essential armament to get everything organized and set up. So it really doesn't matter what the mission is. The MAVs just don't make it to the loadout.

In that case the usual repair steps are probably a good idea.

First, run a DCS repair (Windows -> All Programs -> Eagle Dynamics -> Repair DCS World)

If that doesn't solve the issue, I'd take the brute force method of renaming Saved Games\DCS, launching DCS with the absolute bare minimum configuration and trying again. If that doesn't solve the problem, I'm at a a loss. Either way, DCS will create a new Saved Games\DCS folder; you can then delete this new one and rename your old one back. And then try to isolate which setting or which mod may cause the issue at hand.

  I don't think that you understand. I am just plopping an A10 down on the ramp with Mavs and the TGP on the wings. There is no other mission attached to this. The DCS I am using is a fresh install. There are no mods, saved missions, or anything. I am pretty much opening it for the first time. So far as I know, there is no issue with my install as it is brand new. I have been with DCS for 20 years so I know all of it's ins and outs. What I am saying is that I can set up on the ramp with say......6 rocket pods full of rockets that I loaded in the ME before the mission. I get into the mission, the rocket pods are in my DSMS. Bombs, rockets, TGP, whatever. They'll all be there when I set up my DSMS. But......Not Mavs. whenever I load them in, there is nothing. Just the red boxes where they're suppose to be in the DSMS. 

 I never use mods in any install. I never change file names or alter my file configuration. 

                       No worries....I will figure it out.  

Every time you rearm your aircraft, you have to re-load the DSMS page, even in the A10C2. Have you done that?

    Yes.

can you manually go into the inventory page and load it individually?

Awesome!

So now we're down to three options.

• Your DCS installation is broken
• Your method of starting the jet is flawed
• You found a bug in DCS
• (Or a combination of the above)

Unless your intention of starting this thread was purely informational in nature, I'm going to assume you are looking for help in order to get the issue resolved.

In which case:

• First, run a DCS repair (Windows -> All Programs -> Eagle Dynamics -> Repair DCS World)

• If that doesn't solve the issue, I'd take the brute force method of renaming Saved Games\DCS, launching DCS with the absolute bare minimum configuration and trying again. If that doesn't solve the problem, I'm at a a loss. Either way, DCS will create a new Saved Games\DCS folder; you can then delete this new one and rename your old one back. And then try to isolate which setting or which mod may cause the issue at hand.

• What version of DCS are you running?

• Share a track with us where the issue is clearly visible. The shorter the better.

If you can't be bothered to take these steps, that's fine. Just let us know and we'll stop investing any more time.
