buceador Posted January 11 Posted January 11 As the title suggests. Several times importing a static template into an existing .miz file corrupts the file causing it to have 0 bytes, luckily the automatic backup system saves the day (thank you ED). Is this just me or is it more widespread?

Open the template file (.STM) in any text editor and search for the "requiredModules" string. 2 Dima | My DCS uploads

However, if you try and load a mission (.miz) and you do not have the required module, it still loads and doesn't corrupt the file...

buceador Posted January 11 Author Posted January 11 True, however if I download a mission designed for a MOD that I do not have (eg F-22) I receive a warning that the MOD is required but there is no corruption of the file. 1
Rudel_chw Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Agree, DCS really needs a better handling of the Static Templates, it should never corrupt a mission no matter what. 3 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 3600 - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia RTX2080 - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB
