Looking at the celebrations of our US friends tomorrow, the 924th vFW in cooperation with Knife Edge Simulations are proud to present the teaser trailer for the upcoming ID4 themed DCS World "modification". It will include both AI controlled spacecraft and static objects, as well as coop PvE (E stands for aliEn) missions. We're planning to host events for the community if all goes well, too. As the development progresses, we'll post updates on /r/hoggit! "We're going to survive! And today, we are celebrating OUR INDEPENDENCE DAY!"

Good to hear! A fresh start sometimes works wonders [emoji16] hope stuff goes well for you now. Cheers FitzZZ

[Tool] DCS Configuration Manager Ohhh hehe. Thanks [emoji16]

Sup gordon200, I am currently travelling, thus my late response and very limited resources to help right now. The thread that got merged with mine here confuses me a little. To clear things up for me, are these your problems? The game always starts in VR mode when using the links created through DCS CM whenever you use the DCS CM made shortcuts and exit the game, you get into a login loop I saw you mentioning that the second one also happens for shortcuts in Steam. Does that shortcut start the game directly or does it actually call the DCS CM .exe? Cheers m8, FitzZZ

Hey soupyc, sorry for the super late replay, I am travelling atm. If you haven't tried yourself already: yes, the tool will create the VR config once, automatically enabling VR in that config. If you start the VR version and disable it in the settings, it will stay that way. Hope it works out for ya! (I don't quite understand the remark about Hollywood_315 though :-) ) Cheers FitzZZ

I actually have exactly two: a 32-bit and a 64-bit version in the corresponding syswow64/system32 directory (excluding the component store). :-) Well, doesn't matter anymore fortunately :)

Haha that is amazing :-D Weirdly enough you're the first one reporting this, but good to know. Hope it works for you now and doesn't have any more issues :-D Thanks for posting the solution, made me smile ^^ Cheers FitzZZ

Yes I can read it (I'm german, too ;-) ) - unfortunately this tells me nothing. No .NET related errors? Those usually tell where exactly where it happened in the code.

Could you please check your Windows Application log for entries regarding the app, I suspect a .NET crash message might be there.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World Content like this: "Path"="g:\\DCS World OpenBeta" "Version"="1.5" "Language"="EN" :-) Not sure if that's the issue, but it needs those for sure.

As we're in the same TZ, you can also hit me up on Discord if you like. I should have a bit of time this evening. :-) https://discord.gg/nAnBh

Sorry that it isn't working out for you at this point! Yes, it has a start menu entry named "DCS Configuration Manager". If the app manages to start (which in your case I think it does not), there's an exe with the same name visible in Task Manager. The path is ... randomized by Windows, that's just how it handles this kind of installer. It'll be at some obscured path at appdata\local\apps\2.0\... - the rest is randomly generated for your system. Could you please try to run the "portable" version from GitHub? If that one doesn't start as well, please check if there's a "clone" at %username%\AppData\Local\DCSConfMgr and if there's a log. Also, if it doesn't open, please check your Windows Application log for entries regarding the app, I suspect a .NET crash message might be there. We'll get this thing working for you somehow :-) Cheers

Hey, really no how to needed here - it might hang for some reason without showing the window due to some "special thing" on your system that it can't handle. Pretty much impossible for me to check what that could be from here. Did you restart and retry using the start menu link?

Hey! There's a small link in the window like "more information" or something like that. Click it and the "run anyways" button will appear. Cheers FitzZZ

Hey Soupyc , while this isn't something the tool was designed for, you can still do it. The tool will only activate VR once in the configuration file. So if you don't mind it switching between two configs, it could still do that for you. They can still be the same settings wise :-) Hope that works for you, Cheers, FitzZZ

Hey hansangb, to be perfectly honest, I didn't know it does that. That's not part of my code (which you can review on the GitHub page here: https://github.com/TheFitzZZ/DCS-Config-Manager) The only thing I can imagine is that it comes from one of the 3rd party libraries I use, namely MehApps.Metro, NLog and AudioSwitcher. Is this a security or privacy concern for you? Then I'd dig deeper and see where it actually comes from. Cheers

Cheers mate, looks like the initial preparation when the tool was first started failed for some reason and didn't copy the configs (that's why the errors came). Can't seem to see why though :-( It's one of those edge cases I wasn't able to reproduce when testing the tool I guess. As you said in the PM resetting the tool via the slightly hidden butten on the main page helped, the second try seemed to have worked. Hope it works well now. o/

@bouncerj21 If you send me the log I can take a look :-) %appdatalocal%\DCSConfMgr\DCSCM.log Drop me a PM and I see what I can do. :)

Yes, I actually updated it a week ago for better performance. But it was compatible anyways.

Cheers mates

New in R4: Sound device switcher for VR users! Users of VR headsets like the Oculus usually have to change sound output und input devices manually before starting DCS. The app now allows you to select what you want to switch to when you use the VR shortcut! Know what's even better? It will switch back to what it was when you started the game! Neat, right?

Nice usage of caps there, bud. If the "YES" was for both my initial questions, then I don't know what's going wrong, the log doesn't give me any clue unfortunately. As you were able to start it, you'll be fine with the portable version I made for you.

Just to be sure here: did you download the zip, unpacked it and then ran setup.exe? (should be two files in the directory) Also: did you use this link: https://github.com/TheFitzZZ/DCS-Config-Manager/raw/master/DCS-ConfigMgmt/Installer/DCSCM-Setup.zip ? I took another look at your log and the paths in there looked strange - so I want to cover the basics first :) Cheers

I have plans to start developing missions and totally have your stuff on the radar - will appreciate your work, no doubt :-)

Updated to R3 - Added logging in %localappdata%\dcsconfmgr\dcscm.log - More forgiving handling when options.lua isn't where it should be - it will basically just disable that instance for yo but you'll still able to start the application - Fixed spelling error for shortcuts
