Serp Supreme Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 (edited) Whenever I try and fire the M134 Miniguns from the pilot seat in DCS: UH-1H, the game crashes and the guns don't fire. Sorry if this should be in the Belsimtek forum. Edit: Correcting, I cannot fire them from any seat.

Mnemonic Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 Same here, I hear the sound like they start rotating (but not shooting) and next - bam! Crash to desktop! Doesn't matter from where to shoot - first or second pilot.
Serp Supreme Posted May 3, 2013 Author Posted May 3, 2013 Same here, I hear the sound like they start rotating (but not shooting) and next - bam! Crash to desktop! Doesn't matter from where to shoot - first or second pilot. Either my rotors are too loud or I can't hear them rotating. But other than that we have the exact same problem. Its not like I can't kill with the rockets though, but those run out quick :helpsmilie: This post is protected by a pilot who has a serious lack of negotiating skills, but is absolute hell in a dogfight.

Mnemonic Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Any updates on this? Any answers or suggestions from developers? I can't use miniguns in any mission, on any pilot position, it just keep crashing before the first bullet shots.
Suchacz Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 Pretty strange, for me everything is OK... :huh: Can't this be a conflict with some mods you have installed? :dunno: Per aspera ad astra!

Mnemonic Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) These are the mods I used: - Me-109 bot (currently uninstalled) - Night-vision goggles mod (shader replacement, not sure it is still working after 1.2.4 update) - iControl DCS, which anyway I don't use for UH-1. Not much mods, and would be weird if some of them conflicted. I need to check if export.lua have anything to do with it, but I doubt. [edited] By the way - rockets, and door-mounted machine-guns work without any issue. Also all the other weapons on A-10C, P-51D, FC3 works, didn't checked Ka-50, but I'm sure it's fine Edited May 8, 2013 by Mnemonic
Paganus Posted May 8, 2013 Posted May 8, 2013 I may have found the cause of this... Check your options.lua file. It's in the Saved Games folder under your User. ["lights"] = 2, I you change the value 2 to anything lower you will crash when you try to fire the miniguns. It must be the fancy tracers. 1

Check your options.lua file. It's in the Saved Games folder under your User. ["lights"] = 2, I you change the value 2 to anything lower you will crash when you try to fire the miniguns. It must be the fancy tracers. I don't see this "lights" part, even after a Ctrl+F search? And also I don't understand what I have to do.

I had ["lights"] = 1 after changing to ["lights"] = 2 issue is solved! Anyway it is strange that this effect is so dependent on light setting. I don't see this "lights" part, even after a Ctrl+F search? And also I don't understand what I have to do. Look for ["lights"] param in the ["graphics"] section of C:\Users\+++Username+++\Saved Games\DCS\Config\options.lua change it to 2
Serp Supreme Posted May 9, 2013 Author Posted May 9, 2013 for ["lights"] param in the ["graphics"] section of C:\Users\+++Username+++\Saved Games\DCS\Config\options.lua change it to 2 It works now.

Edit: Correcting, I cannot fire them from any seat. When trying to shoot from position 2 (copilot) game CTD. From position 3 & 4 it's OK. Will try with options.lua settings.

Fuzzy_bear Posted August 23, 2013 Posted August 23, 2013 Great. Just had this problem after putting in the better FPs performance tweak. it's fixed now thanks.
Mnemonic Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Are there any plans to have this effect fixed? Because turning off volumetric light (["lights"] = 1) really helps to improve overall bad FPS.
