KevyKevTPA Posted January 5 Posted January 5 Like the subject says, I am running into issues with generating a "Fast Mission", only to spawn in, and for reasons that aren't really clear, the plane I'm trying to spawn into blows up. If I retry the same mission, same deal, but it doesn't happen every time I regen a new mission. My install is virgin save the headtracker.dll file generated by Tobii Game Hub, and I've done a "repair", with nothing notable. I've also had similar issues, only instead of spawn-die, it goes "attempt to spawn- DCS hangs", which seems more likely the more enemy's requested, though that's not a thorough root cause analysis and may be coincidental. I'm also not at all sure these problems are related. Thanks in advance for any assistance... Kev

Kev hello. please post your DCS.LOG. maybe there are some clues in it. you could also, after the mission when you come to your demise, save the mission and share it. you could also test by reopening that MIZ to see if it happens then too.

KevyKevTPA Posted January 5 Author Posted January 5 Here's the log file, as for saving the .miz, well I'll have to try next time it happens, however... I thought I tried saving and/or editing it, and wasn't able to, but I know NOTHING about the mission editor, aside from parking one lone plane at an empty airfield for some joyriding. Thanks for the assist! dcs.log

KevyKevTPA Posted January 7 Author Posted January 7 If I disable those devices, I can't use the sim in the first place. Though I've seen those kinds of messages pop up on my screen, with some regularity, indeed I've seen it on other's screens on YT vids, and while I have been wondering why they appear, despite what they say, my devices do NOT act as though they've been disconnected even for a moment. Am I misunderstanding something?
silverdevil Posted January 7 Posted January 7 9 hours ago, KevyKevTPA said: Am I misunderstanding something? you are. read the shared post again. doing the "disable hotplug" means DCS does not continually scan for new USB devices and does not randomly disconnect while in game. plug in the devices you want to use and then start DCS. this may not be the only problem you are having but these log entries are at the very end of the log. 2 AKA_SilverDevil Join AKA Wardogs Email Address My YouTube “The MIGS came up, the MIGS were aggressive, we tangled, they lost.” - Robin Olds - An American fighter pilot.

Ah, OK, now I'm catching on. I made the change, we'll see if it helps.

Good news, maybe, and definitely bad news. The good news is that I haven't had it crash when generating a fast mission yet, BUT I've only done so a few times with simple parameters (meaning, no enemies, just for flight practice). Here's the bad news, and this is NOT the first time it's behaved this way: After asking for a mission starting from the ramp, it started me up in the air, though not by much, a few hundred feet at most, but I immediately fell out of the sky and blew up! Which is logical, a plane that's off when dropped from a height doesn't fly very well! I immediately shut the sim down, and here is the log file. dcs.log
rob10 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 You should start by removing your mods (looks like you have quite a few) and doing a repair.

The only mods I have came from a Squadron I joined, and are in use by dozens of others, not to mention I installed those PRIOR to this attempt where I spawned cold and dark, but a few hundred feet in the air, but I experienced the exact same thing before installing them, and right after doing a repair. Oh, and a few squadron liveries, but these problems pre-date those mods. Well, the spawn in mid-air one, I haven't had a "hung process" one since the change suggested above, but I also have only used it a few times. I had surgery yesterday and wanted to fly, but I was drugged up LOL...
