Hawk has stopped to work in DCS World 2.5.3


Recommended Posts

I was maintaining a version 2.5.3.24984 of DCS World without updating only to play Hawk. No problem until this last friday (after last update of the beta release, though I don't know if it is a relation with my issue). From this day, when I start the program appears a screen warninig about the license of the Hawk, with my license number by default that ask me if I want to vinculate or omit. If I press Vinculate, everything starts Ok, in the module manager the Hawk appears correctly installed and activated. But if I try to fly it (in a quick mission or even in training) I don't have access to the cockpit view nor the control of the plane, just like the module were not activated. I reactivated, then deactivate and activated again, and finally deleting the regedit key and activating newly. I have spent 2 licenses more. But the results have not changed.

 

 

 

Since the first versions of 2.5.4 I have flown the Hawk in 2.5.3 without any incidence. Anything has changed in the sistem of licenses? Curiously, in the module manager, whe I try to see the license number, appears "No key" .

 

 

 

And the other big question is: Anyone stille playing Hawk on any version of DCS World?

If I were in your case, I would open a support ticket with ED, as the Hawk should be able to run on 2.5.3

Kinda pointless to open a support ticket with ED considering they dont have the source code regardless of DCS flavor. What are they going to do, fix it?

If you're running the same version that was working previously, then yes, it should still function and you should open a ticket. If you didn't change anything then nothing changed for it to suddenly stop working.

 

If you updated to the beta (it's unclear from your post, imo) then no it will no longer function. As per Skate's link the Hawk was abandoned by the original developers and no longer functions. And no, there is nothing ED can do about it because VEAO were uncooperative and would not release the data needed to continue development.

 

You can continue using it ONLY if you roll back to the version you were using before.

I just installed 2.5.3 to check on something, I chose this particular version because I figured I could check on what I wanted and I could insatall the Hawk on it and fly it. The thing is aparently the most recent updater does not recognize the Hawk as a Valid module. Anyone has any idea how I can the Hawk working on 2.5.3?

Hi

 

Your log says it is still DCS/2.5.5.41371

 

you need 2.5.3 for the HAWK

@BIGNEWY yes it does say that, I think it has something with the fact that I did a regular install of the main Current Version and then used Skate zilla Updater GUI to revert back to 2.5.3. But I assure you I was indeed running 2.5.3. And that Trying to install the HAWK did not work eighter from Skate Zilla's tool or from within game using the module manager. I think reverting a 2.5.5 installation is leaving some things from 2.5.5 instead of reverting completly to 2.5.3 as seen in the log.

You did not correctly revert to 2.5.3, as you log says "DCS/2.5.5.41371"

 

I just reverted to 2.5.3 as a test and it worked fine.

Well it's said 2.5.3 when loading on the corner of the main screen and it ran with 2.5.3 assets, for exemple the old A-10C cockpit, and only allowed for aircraft avaiable back on 2.5.3. So I don't know what to tell you.

I'm reverting again using the batch file indicated by BIGNEWY, wainting for it to finish in a few minutes. Well see how it goes afterwards.

Same result. This is the logs trying to install the HAWK once from within DCS the other with the Updater GUI.

Notice that it now makes no mention of DCS version.

If I had to gess I'd say it's the lastest version of the Updater itself that is not recognizing the module, regardless of what DCS version it's trying to update.

 

Skate Zilla when you reverted to 2.5.3 did you per chance also installed the HAWK module or just reverted to 2.5.3?

Here I'm including the log of the Updater reverting back to 2.5.3 providing it as link to the shared file because of the size:

 

https://drive.google.com/open?id=1D0edl3UvpEqT__Rdv1w8IQrOuLQ2ML2i

 

You may also notice that there is some error at the end. I belive I also got that error yesterday, I didn't pay much atention to it, as DCS running on 2.5.3 was (as is now) functional.

 

So if you could provide assistence determining what is wrong I'd apreciate it.

I think that ED has cleaned the Hawk from the downloads server.
