Kola map uinstalled with latest update(s)

[Nealius]

I had Kola map on my dedicated server roughly since release, however with one of the recent updates between August and now, the Kola map was somehow wiped from my dedicated server install, forcing me to manually install it again.

it's sound strange, are you sure you haven't remove it on purpose maybe to accomodate the space of an update? You're the only admin that have access to the server?
When big release occurs if the space is a problem, some people is forced to remove one terrain, perform the update, and then re-download just the map again after the update complete.

I'm the only one with access to the dedicated server, and I did not manually uninstall Kola from the dedicated server--I literally don't know how to uninstall terrains from the server. I didn't even remember how to install it, as I don't often use CMD/Powershell, and had to search the forums to find out how to reinstall it.

Do you have the log file from where this happend?

If it uninstalled it should show up in one of the log files.

Where would I find these installation logs? The Saved Games Logs folder only contains logs from when the server was running a mission, not when it was updated or when anything was installed.

@Nealius

autoupdate_log.txt or/and autoupdate_log_old.txt

in your main DCS game folder. Mine are in "E:\DCS World OpenBeta\"

I only have the lastest two. I believe the uninstall occurred prior to these two logs.

Autoupdate_log.txt (11OCT) is when I manually reinstalled Kola after discovering it was gone (mission grayed out in WebGUI).
Autoupdate_log_old.text (03OCT) was the DCS 2.9.8.1214 update, and makes no mention of Kola; I presume because it had been uinstalled prior to this update.

I last hosted Kola map on this dedicated server around 04JUL, on DCS version 2.9.5.55918, wich means the disappearance would have occured on one of the following updates:
2.9.6.57650 (11JUL)
2.9.6.58056 (22JUL)
2.9.7.58923 (09AUG)
2.9.7.59074 (14AUG)
2.9.7.59263 (20AUG)
2.9.8.1107 (30SEP)

However I have no logs for those updates.

Yea, not much to check then why this happened. If it happens again, take a copy of the log file and post it.
