I was having random crashes in CMO. The app would just close and the log files gave no insight as to why. Here's how I fixed it:

1. Go into Steam, right click CMO and select Properties
2. Select Installed Files on left, then click Browse to go to CMO files
3. Rename the following folders:

I was having a similar issue with CMO crashing randomly. Here's how I fixed it:

I didn't know whether I'd get an answer to my question here, but what I really didn't expect was a large number of posts detailing how my question is wrong. Interesting debate forum.

<t> robertqin, I was a military engineer and I was an SME for DCS. You'll find this same name in the software credits. You're right that individual equipment is modeled in exacting detail in DCS, down to rivet physics.. and that does differ from CMO. However CMO models widescale values and variables ...

<t> Although I've performed multiple roles for the U.S. Military and DOD over many years, I'm very careful about telling someone they're "wrong" about anything concerning military hardware. Of course, we all have our perceptions of performance, capabilities, and purpose, but unless we're actually ...

<t> Kushan, thank you. Yeah I know.. a mostly unlikely scenario.. but I'm trying to recreate a simulation that was done in another platform.. one which encourages unlikely scenarios [:)]. The scenario I'm recreating specifically used primary A2G missiles and cannons. (also, the stinger was never ...

<t> temkc5, thanks for the suggestion. I did open WRA up and that didn't work. The problem lies with the Valid Target values of the weapons. The cannon on the Hind has 'Helicopter' as a Valid Target, but not the AT-6. The Apache cannon and Hellfires both lack Helicopter as Valid Target. I put in a ...

<t> As I said, it's not common that you'd see helo against helo, but it is something I wanted to simulate to illustrate the superior scenario accuracy of CMO.<br/>

During the beginning of Desert Storm I saw dozens of Apaches fly into the AO en mass. At first I thought it was gnats in front ...

<t> <type>Update</type><br/>
<summary>Could you change helo mounted weapons to have valid target helo? At the very least I was trying to simulate Apache vs Hind:</summary><br/>

<t> Someone made a youtube vid of a battle in DCS between 100 Apaches and Hinds. My first thought was "if you want to simulate something like this, DCS is not the proper platform". So I jumped in CMO and tried to create the scenario. The problem is that the guns on the Apache don't show Helicopters ...

Is this intended functionality? Does anyone find it useful when the group name is purged after mission reassignment? Does it help you organize more easily, or do you find it to be an annoyance as I do?

Has anyone else experienced this?
Am I simply doing it wrong?

The only work around I've come up with is to have the units hold fire, then use manual attack.

Engage Opportunity Targets is set to 'Engage Mission Specific Targets Only'.

I like the idea of setting no automatic fire to everything but AEW, but that's a time consuming work around. Could this be a bug that's causing 'Pre-planned Targets Only' not to work?

<t> I'm wondering if there's a work around for a minor annoyance I'm experiencing. I like to name my air groups very descriptively with octets (like IP addresses) ie AAW.F15.NORTH.01. The problem I'm having is that if I unassign that group from a mission and assign to a different mission, the group ...

<t> I'm facing a challenge with Air Intercept strike missions. I set some F-22s and F-35s to intercept an A-50 HVT. They get within range of the A-50, then expend all of their missiles on the enemy escorts. I tried setting "Pre-Planned Targets Only" and set the WRA for AIM-120s to "Do not use weapon ...
