flameoutme Posted January 17 Posted January 17 (edited) I apologize if this is not the right place to post this. I went to fire up DCS today and my F-4E came up as "not authorized and will be disabled". This is a purchased plane from Steam and I have flow it over the last year off and on. It is legit as are all the other purchased modules. I fired up my heatblur F-14 and it ran fine. It's not even showing in the icon row in DCS as grayed out - it's just MIA. Help - or direct me to the right place please. PS; It is still showing in Steam as purchased and in my library. Edited January 17 by flameoutme
G.J.S Posted January 17 Posted January 17 (edited) Has your anti virus updated? Make sure you set an exclude in your anti virus that stops it from interfering with the whole ED folder. Edited January 18 by G.J.S 2 - - - The only real mystery in life is just why kamikaze pilots wore helmets? - - -

Solution flameoutme Posted January 18 Author Solution Posted January 18 Thank you @G.J.S and @Zabuzard, I was able to get my fav modual back. I saw in the linked discussion there is a suggestion to make the entire DCS directory excluded from the virus checker. Someone added in that thread that there have not been any reported real virus attacks via DCS. To that all I can say is there's always a first time. Instead, I let my guard down but for only the one file that was quarantined. The heatblur file. I looked it up in quarantine, and selected the "restore and add exception" option. This way, I was only taking a chance on one file. And it worked! Best, Rick 1
