Exit image over menu
-
hi guys…
anyone had any issues where the exit image of the f16 wont disappear and leaves you enable to save the flight and look at the debrief etc…?
ive had it twice now. It doesn’t appear to have crashed - the taskbar shows bms running fine. I can find the exit by guessing - I click and can hear the music change - telling me its exited. But it seems to be stuck.
At first, I thought it was because I was inpatient - like I had recorded some acmi or something - but not the case.
Not sure what it is.
Im running the latest patch, and have installed 3 mods - the korea texture terrain and the runway textures along with the new korea 2012. Suspect buggy campaign file?
not sure what to do other than fly vanilla korea.
just thought someone may be aware?

Are you in single player or multi-player mode? I get it, but only when I’m NOT the host in the MP TE, and we are in Korea.

I’m in single player. First time it’s happened. Falcon runs flawlessly other wise. I only fly once then exit before taking another flight.
Just old habits from free falcon days when it would crash on 2nd flight on exit. Most of the time anyway…
-
Ah now this “Could” be a simple case of accidentally hitting the F key during a flight. This turns on the video recorder to make an ACMI tape up of the entire flight from when F was pressed. It takes quite a while to make up and does have a tendancy to hold off closing the sim down fully until the tape is finished being made.
Ive had it on my system twice this year and both times I had 3rd party software in the background, Outlook, Graphics Package, Word, Excel, Visual Studio etc back way in the distant past we used to use a program called close it all or something like that to shut down any background programs to leave just Roger Wilco or Teamspeak 2 and Falcon running. Nowadays we have memory to spare and Falcon like every program now runs inside its own svchost or bubble of memory to make life easy. If you are short on memory the hard drive takes over with virtual memory. See the Microsoft website help centre for instructions on how to increase the virtual memory or page file size to allow for hard drive lag.
If this still proves to be ineffective against the problem, use a program like CCLEANER from Piriform, they do a free version, to clear out the bugs in your registry that build up over time and use.

Hi mate. Yeah, I first thought it was the acmi, but alas no.
It’s just happened with the new Korea 2012.
I will check with cc. I have that. I do have plenty of ram and hdd.
Will check through tho.
-
Also I should add. If u do a large acmi record you can’t get into the debrief for a while. No music or any response to clicking until it’s finished compiling.
This though, u can hear the music and click on the menu items. Albeit you can’t see them. As you move your mouse around you can hear the menu items respond as u go over them.

… and the runway textures along …
Had the same problem, in my case it was the HiRES runway mod. After installing the LoRES runway mod all worked perfect again.
-
Ah….
Maybe that’s it then. Right. Will look into that.
Thanks for that.
-
…just thinking that’ll be a shame. Quite like those textures.
-
Just to confirm for anyone reading. It was indeed the new run way textures. This is on a machine with 2gb ati 6970 and 8gb of ddr3 ram.
Not to disrespect the great work that went into it. For those that can run the textures without fault - it’s awesome.
Also an apology for saying I suspected the campaign file.

Hi Mr Calm!

Since technical support is ONLY suposed to be “enshured” for a stock BMS install, I kindly move your thread into the mod room.

Same happened to me on the weekend , I think I was in Sinai.
I think that’s twice this year. I don’t have HiRES runway mod.

Mine is with a stock FalconBMS install in Korea in MP TEs. No amount of waiting is long enough after exiting the mission…the non-host will freeze. Eventually, you have to kill the process tree with Task Manager. Host will exit fine.

If I am not wrong, this one is not related with texture but is an MP issue when host quit before the client. (?)
-
Yeah sounds more like something else then the textures. Specially when u leave. If it was on load - start it would make some sense.
Still is strange that changing the textures fixed the problem. Maybe I ask which airport it was?
-
Bit late I know. … sorry. I’m not sure exactly.
I’ll try and post if I can remember when I hop back on.
I should say the sim worked flawlessly in game. No issues at all. They looked great too.
But I can confirm that removing them enabled me to exit into debrief absolutely fine. With the same mission.
It was the only thing I did (remove the dds by putting backed up stock ones back in).
Just to remind - it was single player.
And apologies DJ. Your right to move the thread here.

Cold case. Or case closed.
