A10 Not Flyable (for me at the moment)

[Dugulus]

So I havent played Dcs in a while. I built a new computer a few months ago (core i7, windows 7 64) and installed DCS Warthog on it. However, when i tried to fly i found that my cougar had become unresponsive. So, without a joystick I never flew a mission and therefore never activated my copy.

 

I decided to order the TM Warthog hotas which i received yesterday (amazing). I uninstalled my DSC Warthog and installed DCSW. I then installed the latest version of Warthog and the "money" symbol is gone. However, it doesnt show me any available instant action or quick missions for the A10. And when i create a simple mission with myself as A10 player, the mission starts and wont even show an A10. Just the couple enemy trucks and tanks i threw in there is all i can see.

 

I uninstalled everything including save games then reinstalled, no luck. I then deleted DCSW again. I installed previous standalone A10, activated that copy, deleted it, reinstalled DCSW and A10, and still no luck.

 

I feel i am probably missing some easy step. And i was enjoying some scotch last night while doing this so it could very well be user error...........any ideas?

i had this problem with BlackShark in world. Exact same symptoms you describe. What it turned out to be for me was i had World version 1.1.2.1 installed with the 1.2.0 black shark module. Make sure you download the 1.2.0 version of world and the 1.2.0 version of the A10 module.

BlackDog: Yes. That is what I did. I only reinstalled the previous version to activate it on my pc (in case that had something to do with it). Then erased that version and reinstalled the module.

one other thing i can think to try:

 

 

1. go into add/remove programs from your control panel and uninstall DCS World.
   
2. go to your saved games folder (c:\users\<username>\saved games) and delete the DCS folder
   
3. go to your temp folder (users\username\appdata\local\temp) and clean it out (delete all files in \temp\ folder). Appdata is a hidden folder, so you will need to turn on "show hidden files and folders" in explorer to do this.
   
4. go the folder where you had previously installed world and make certain nothing is there (uninstall leaves the /mods/ folder and a few files)
   
5. Install World 1.2.0
   
6. Install A-10 1.2.0
   

if it still doesn't work, time to file a support ticket.

Shurugal: after checking, i think you are right. I had downloaded DSCW on july 4. But that was 1.1.2

 

I am downloading 1.2 now. All those 1's and 2's, i didnt see it.

Thanks! I am guessing this will work.

That worked!
