Can't fly in DCS World

[zakhawkin]

Hoping someone can help out. Whenever I load DCS World and select any mission, training, etc, for A10 I hit Fly or Fly Now and a couple of screens flash, a loading screen load for a few seconds and then I'm dumped back to the mission screen, asking if I'd like to fly again. No in- flight, cockpit, etc.

 

I have un-installed 1.2.4, downloaded the latest files with AV disabled, installed with no issues and then within the DCS World I go into Module Manager, made sure i was logged in, installed A10 and the free su-25 and still nothing. I have gone to Start , all programs and hit Repair and Update, a file will update and still no-go. I just updated to the latest patch, also.

 

I believe this started with 1.2.4 but not sure. Just getting back into it, hopefully.

 

Also, the standalone A10 works great. Only within DCS World I have issues. It acts like I don't own the game but it is loaded, dollar sign is gone, etc.

 

Thanks.

Thanks IIIAVIII... After spending lots of time pouring over the logs, nothing led me to the fix. But, thanks, anyways, didn't know of the logs. Might come in handy, later.

 

The FIX.. Even though I had disabled AV, because the problem did act as though I didn't own the game and verify was being blocked, I finally saw Xfinity Constant Guard with a quick pop-up message. I hadn't even installed it, but must've installed with Xfinity's, Comcast, free AV.

 

Uninstalling Constant Guard fixed the problem.

 

Hope this helps any others with a similar issue.

Dan, if you're getting the map screen it's because none of the planes on the map are set to Player in the mission editor.

 

Try adding an A-10C and switching the Skill dropdown to 'Player'. It should be highlighted in yellow.

 

It's also possible those modules aren't installed, do you have a little dollar sign on the A10/UH-1 icons?

That's really odd. The plane you added was blue and not an A-10A right? Do any of the campaigns work?

Normally F1 should jump you back into your currently controller vehicle. You might try running the DCS repair tool, and making sure the serial numbers are showing up in the Module Manager.

 

It's acting like you haven't bought the modules, even though they're installed. You normally jump to the map directly when you've either joined a new multiplayer map and haven't selected a vehicle, or when you've made a map with nothing controllable, or you've made a map with something you can't actually use (ie: an A-10C without the A-10C serial).

 

If you've got anti-virus or extra firewall programs installed you might try shutting those off too and see if anything different happens. You may also try removing the standalone A-10C version... I've never tried having it installed at the same time as DCS World, but it's conceivable there could be a conflict.

 

Does the Su-25 work? Also, did you ever get the DRM 'enter serial' dialog? I usually get it the first time I launch a new module that I've never entered the serial number for. It's possible it opened 'under' the DCS window... try alt-tabbing around once the game is running.
