DED missing (4.34)
-
Right…. this is weird. I cannot get the DED to work from Taxi. It’s just dead.
Ramp starting works fine.
Test setup -
KTO Iron Fortress, 195th F/A-18c flying off the CVN Vinson. Pick the first or second mission. Select Taxi as start option. No DED…
-
Maybe at time of taxi AI hasn’t started the correct systems yet or the taxi start dropping and breaking the jet on the deck? Does land airbase work? Takeoff spawn? (I realize takeoff spawn is invalid for carrier basing).
-
Good idea. I’ll try a land based taxi start.

Setup TE at Kunsan. Taxi start showed no DED and nothing I did would make it work. I tried a full shutdown and restart.
Runway start was the same. No DED
Hmmm……

Standby. It looks like I’ve got a config fault. The F16 is now doing the same…
I’ll reinstall and see if i can figure out what is wrong for anyone else experiencing this.

I have the same behavior in the F-18. If i select Taxi or a flight that is already in the air the DED doesn´t show up(even powering on and off the DED switch), but if i Ramp Start DED is ok.
In the F-16 it´s the same but if i turn the switch it works. It´s like this since 4.33, but since i always ramp start it doesn´t bother me. -

During ramp start if you ‘forget’ to power on the DED, at some point …. after some period of time … it will not turn on at all. I don’t know what the time period is, but I do seem to remember having that issue. Like you since I ramp start all the time, it was just a matter of making sure the DED Power On was part of the Ramp Process and done in a timely fashion. And, like you, I also remember this issue going back to quite sometime in v4.33.
OP could try this. Do a regular ramp start and make sure the DED powers up as expected. Then, restart and do another ramp start, but leave the DED off. Later (?just before take off?) try and turn it on and see if the DED fails to start.

Okay, so I’ve reinstalled 4.34 and then copied across my user and campaign folders. Same result.
I’m now going to reinstall (again) and run through adding bit slowly to see if I can identify the issue.
Note: This is no longer an F18 issue. It also happens with the F16 on Taxi

SOLVED!!!
It’s caused by a corrupt Data Cartridge. Switching to a different logbook solves the problem.
Okay, so I had a play with the new WDP the other day and I must have stuffed up my profile. Replacing the <profile>.ini fixed the problem.
I hope this helps someone in the future.
Thank you for all your help. :)</profile>
