I will remember that. Thank you. And thank you for taking the time to help.

No way. It worked!!! Flappie, thank you so much. I owe ya one bigtime. Wonder why it kept those file entries even after I deleted the game from Steam and did all the other stuff? You know what? I don't even care. It's working again and I can't thank you enough. Take care..I'm going flying again!

Thank you so much for responding. Yep, I notice there were errors in the log file but I'm not sure I want to be poking around in the DCS directory too much. I do believe this whole thing started with me using multiple Mod Managers. I had installed one months prior but had forgotten about it. then it was suggested to use another which I did. I'm pretty sure one or both or my stupidity that caused it. I was hoping a reinstall and or validate would fix it. Nope. Here's my directory structure. With the exception of a Textures directory in the CoreMods it looks like it's ok. The big question is how do I fix it. Just go back through the errors and see if I can't move files? Thanks for help Flappie. This has been driving me crazy.

Have you tried pausing it before walking away to see if that helps? I have that mapped to a button. Are you using the reflector or LED? I don't believe you can restart the TIR once you're in the game. However, I have had a few lockups (rarely) but have been able to pull the usb plug and reconnect and the game sees it fine. As long as it's running before the game starts as I'm sure you know. This works both in IL2 and DCS. But you can't stop TIR while the games running then restart it , at least not to my knowledge. It has to be running 1st. I'm not sure how the FBMS would work while the games running?

Installed from Steam. I get a missing WWII Armour & Technics error now when running DCS open beta. I have all the required DLC. I have... 1. De/reinstalled DCS thru Steam. 2. Reinstalled all my DLC. 3, Validated files several times. 4. Cleaned Saved Games folder. 5. Cleaned Steam download cache. All the missions that came with the Spit, P-51 etc give me the above error. I also get errors on some servers saying I need the WWII Assets Pack installed. It is. I can't log into some servers anymore. Now every time I validate files it always comes up with a lot that needs replacing. This is driving me nuts Any help would be appreciated. dcs.log dcs.log.old

You have got to be kidding me. I turned that off and now everything works. What the............? So we checked and since he was forcing that off in the mission editor everything would work fine in MP. But not in non MP mode. At least that what we suspect, per your suggestion. Now that that's solved, the question is, how the heck did that get turned on? It never has been or was to my knowledge. We've always been in the most realistic mode. Actually, I don't give a s##t. It works now and I can fly. So thank you for your help. Hope I can return the favor sometime.

Roger...thank you for your help. Here's my screenshots. I owe ya bro! it's been driving me crazy. You can see the throttle is working by the white line. Everything in the Adjust Controls always works. It's when I get into the cockpit....ugh.

So, is it the mission?

Here's two track files. The 1st is from a mission that came with the F-18. Carrier TO. (Carrier TO - Test.trk) The throttle did not work but shows working in Adjust Controls. The 2nd file is from a mission my buddies and I fly. (Mission - Test.trk) In stand-alone mode, the throttle did not work. Starting it in MP everything works fine. (I could not see a way to save a track file when playing MP?) On both missions I just started, verified throttle worked, then exited and saved track file. I swear it's a bug that's letting me fly ok in MP but not always stand-alone. My JS is and has been functioning perfectly. It shows up as working in DCS. I can bind keys, load profiles without a problem, that is until 2 patches back. I did uncheck it in Steam, verified it wasn't showing up in the game, rechecked and let it download the 800+Mb of F-18 data then reverified it showed up and was working. But I still have this throttle issue and can not figure out what the heck is going on? And it only in the F-18. all my other planes and heli's work just fine. Thank you for any help. It's much appreciated. Carrier TO - Test.trk Mission - Test.trk DxDiag.txt

I will do that today..thank you.

Nope, that wasn't it. After much hair pulling I did a complete install of DCS and all my modules. Still no joy. Every plane I either put into the mission editor or fly works just fine except the Hornet. I have no throttle. It works perfectly in the Training scenarios. But does not work in a regular mission or any either that me or my buddies have created. Yet it works fine if we do the same mission in multiplayer. Here's what I've done, 1. Checked for duplicate mapping. (Nope, shows up fine in the Adjust Controls page) Works fine, moves, I can fine tune, everything. Go back into the game and it doesn't work. If I hit the throttle it immediately goes to that mapping and works. 2. It's not in Game mode. I triple checked that. 3. In Multiplayer it seems to work fine...sometimes. Other times it doesn't. That is really weird to me. If I want to fly, and hope it works, I have to run everything from MP. And even then it's a crap shoot. 4. Some of the canned missions the throttle works. Others, nope. 5. I've done everything short of messing with the registry trying to figure out why it's only the Hornet I'm having problems with? Note: I do have a Logitech profiler that loads with Windows. If I remove it nothing works. I also tried using a F-18 X-52 profile that I downloaded here. Nope, although when it does work I like the profile. At this point I think I may try and remove the F-18 module and reinstall it again. Couldn't be any worse than it is now unless they try and charge me again. lol They don't do that do they? Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm tapped out and my buds are too. Everything had been working perfectly so it's driving me nuts. Everything is running from Steam. I've never had a problem all these years using Steam.

Yup....I didn't see it. GameFlightMode was checked. How that got checked is beyond me? Mods can't set that can they? Anyway, thanks for everyone's help.

Well, I've checked what you both suggested. I'm using an X-52 btw. Neither one was set or bound in multiple places. My buddies and I have been doing MP for a long time so we've gone through a lot of messing with things. Both in DCS, IL2 and other sims. But this is driving me nuts. Some missions it's fine (single player) others it doesn't work. The other planes are fine. I checked during the last flight. Throttles go from around 69-70% to full AB and back to idle just fine. So I don't think it's a binding issue. Never put it in game mode. My buddies would kill me. Everything is set to Real in the F-18. I do have a Saitek profiler that starts when Windows does. It's never been a problem in the past but I can disable that and check. Last resort, I delete all the key bindings and start over...ugh. I'll look for a post explaining how to do that. Thanks for the help guys.

Lately when flying the F-18 I can not get over 166 kts or so on takeoff. Jettisoning all stores doesn't bring the the speed up and I end up ejecting. It also happens on landing that the speed never bleeds off when applying brakes or speedbrake. It just keeps going down the runway at the speed I touched down at, never slowing. I thought this might be because I was running a mission my buddy made for MP. But I just tried an instant action mission and it happened again. When flying MP with my buddies it works fine. Same mission by myself I get the airspeed problem. I thought it might be because of the way the mission was created but now that it did it in instant action I'm not so sure. I just can't put my finger on why it's happening? Doesn't happen in other planes. Anyone having a similar issue? My apologies, I read tons of post but didn't find this particular issue. I did notice someone posted the same thing on Steam.

And honestly, as much as I appreciate the help, and I do, if I'm having this many problems right off the bat with a brand new machine I'm not sure I want to waste a lot of time getting it to work. I'm finally getting to play a lot of new things my old machine wouldn't even begin to run. I have FSX with everything turned on to max and am getting incredible framerates. So I'm happy to finally be able to fly that. So please, don't go out of your way to help. I can't thank everyone enough for all the help I've gotten already.. It looks great but I don't think its worth that much effort looking thru all those log files trying to figure it out. Respectfully, Craig

Thank you so much for your help. Yes, I also installed the Redist of DX as well. DCS-20140628-232010_crash.txt.txt DCS-Crash-20140629-185432.txt

I'm also having problems getting this to run and just got a new gaming system. I keep reading the threads about running a repair for it but for the life of me I can't find it. I reinstalled this game 3 times from Steam and also the 6 files from the FTP site and still no joy. I've tried everything in these threads to fix it. One said to remove a lua file from one of the directories but it's not there either. How do you run the repair? Thanks in advance!
