Thanks SolidGad.... I have tried the fixed version of bear trap.... However a very odd thing happens. When I play other missions and TE that I made, my joystick mappings are all as I have set them....When I run Bear Trap, some of my mappings don't work. (e.g. Navigation, although it shows the waypoints on the map, when I fly, the waypoints aren't in my plane....so I am flying blind. I have the switch to change waypoints in flight, but that switch on my Hotas or by keyboard don't work..... There are a few other Hotas mapping that work fine everywhere else with the exception of the mission. Can't figure it out....so I gave up on it....unless you have an idea...... That is why I am hopping that these payware missions don't have that issue...(however that is in 1.5, If I upgrade to 2.5, perhaps it will be fixed.)

1) Is this the same campaign that comes with DCS Flaming Cliffs 3 or the F15C for DCS world but is fixed, or is it a completely different campaign. 2) If I have DCS 2.5 and updated to the most current standard, will this purchased campaign still run.

I have purchased some of the DCS jets but find them sometimes to complicated to fly if you don't fly them often. I am looking perhaps more to the DCS WWII series, but I fly offline so i am interested in offline single missions or offline campaigns. Does the current offering of the FW, Spitfire, P-51 and I-16 have them. I notices some that can be purchased, (none for the I-16 yet), but is there a community that post some user made missions and/or campaigns.

For some reason I have so many options in my Air radar search modes that I am confused when to use them. The ones I know and know when it is best are the TWS, Bore, STT and BVR. But I also have the following modes and don't know when best to use them, if at all or even if they are meant for the F15. Can someone explain the best use for them or if I need them at all. L0OD/LMA Mode CAC_Flood/LMA CAC VS Mode CAC Bore Mode Thanks in advance.

I am trying to build a number of different training missions for F15C (1.5xx ver) where the enemy will spawn at random altitudes and have random skill level. I have done some searches and saw how to create some random events, but not this specific type of spawning Is there a way to do this?

I moved this question to the mission build section as it seemed more appropriate there.....

Thanks Jason,,, I might want to look at the issue 2. But where do I find the Check to make sure your "Absolute Longitudinal Camera Shift" is bound to "TRACKIR_Z" and not Zoom View. Where do I go to check this...??

Yes, I have tried leaning back and pressing F12 to recenter, I have just hit F12 None of them gave me the result where I can see the Speed and alt on the side. They remain positioned behind the bars.

I have the current World 1.5.xx version and I am using TrackIR. When I am flying the F15C, the altitude and speed numbers on the HUD are hidden by the bars of the black bars that hold the HUD glass. I have tried adjusting my setting view in Trackir but when I zoom to a position that I want so that I have optimal view of HUD (numbers are large enough to read on the HUD) and view of the cockpit dials, the alt and speed lines in the HUD are hidden by those bars holding the HUD glass. How can you fix this. I don't want a zoomed in view where all I see is the hud and no cockpit inst. or radar MFD, but want the best balance for both (Ability to look at HUD numbers where they are readable and MFDs or some cockpit instruments).

Is there any chance of getting the F15 qualification back. From what I have seen they are no longer available, but I would like to get them if possible. Is there any plans to make them available again

Couple of questions. I have currently the latest version of World 1.5xx I want to get the F15C Red flag campaign. 1) Do I have to pay to upgrade to World 2.0 (Haven't downloaded 2.0 yet, but I don't see a price, but if I need to pay to get a key, OK,,,I just don't see that on my screen). 2) What do I install first NTTR or World 2.0/ 3) Just to be sure (and I know repetitive) but I want the most up-to-date F15 that DCS offers. Is there any difference if I have the F15C from FC3 or if I also got the F15C stand alone. (i.e. do some areas in the cockpit, graphics, etc etc...get upgraded from the one in FC3)?

I have a CH Fighterstick, Throttle and pedals. I have mapped all buttons as required for me to the Hotas unit. My Throttle is mapped as CM devise 2, where the throttle and mini stick work fine -so I know they are mapped correctly. However I wanted to use button 3 on the throttle as my shift button I have Shift box checked and "null" in the Normal action - press field. However when in the cockpit, if I choose this button, it zooms in the cockpit instrument down center view. I have looked in the game keyboard commands and don't see any mapping for CM device 2 - Button 3 and I have not mapped that game keyboard command in the CH hotas. Also, button 2 is mapped to the ECM Jammer on/off in Normal action and the Landing Lights Cycle/Off in shifted action. When I press this button it zooms in the cockpit down right view. Again, I have not mapped this command in the Hotas, nor do I see any command in the CM Device 2 -button 2. If you have a CH Device, can you shed some light on what is happening here. All other commands and axis work fine. It's just these two. I want to keep the shift button as is, as I am so use to it.

Never mind

HI Hafody, Would it be possible to get the F15 CH Hotas, throttle and pedals. Let me know... Sent a PM

Haven't played in a long time...forget where to setup the controller is? Any hints?

I have re-downloaded DCS World 1.5. that was purchased in 2013. In my profile, I have purchased the following items before. DCS Black Shark 2 and upgrade version - - Shows activation key A10C - Doesn't show on my list. Flaming Cliffs 3 - Shows activation key When I click on the icon for FC3, it says to buy. I click on it and it shows that I already own it, but it is Steam incompatible. (what does that mean). So how do I get this going again?

OK. I can get the F15, and DCS World 1.5. Does DCS World 1.5 have specific campaigns to F15 or training missions? Would I be able to use the F-15C 16-2 Red Flag Campaign ? In the download section it shows the DCS: NEVADA Test and Training Range Map. Is that the same one you are talking about earlier that is compatible for DCS 2.0 only? The other thing that I wanted to get better at is using the radio for nav and battle. In A10C it was very confusing. A10C also had WP and TP that you could enter during flight as the situation changes, This would allow you to better prioritize targets. Does F15 have that as well? If so are there people that can setup one on one tutoring to help teach you in real time rather than watching videos.

Thanks, Although I said I was a newbie, I am not a newbie to the cockpit, Most of the information I know, it is more of getting proficient in finding the enemy without being caught like a deer in headlights, BVR engagement, A/A and A/G missile avoidance and launched missile defeat. Most if that is practice, but are there missions that help you progress from easy to harder situations. Do I need to get the DCS world for this or is that an add-on for much later. Thanks

I have played some of the older DCS titles A-10, black shark, but that is such a long time ago, I have forgotten most of what I know... I want to get back into flying the F15, but so much has changed since the last time I was in DCS anything. Now we have DCS World 2.0 and Nevada training...wow..I am so confused. To get back into this as the F15 starting point, what do I need to be up to date. Is there any training missions as well to teach me the start-up procedures, best way to enter a dog fight etc etc.

Even if I restart the PC it still doesn't solve this. In fact for the Su25, if I press the 6 key I get the recticle in the hud, but the 7 key does nothing.

It seems that not all my keyboard commands are working. I check with the option -> profile and the right keyboard command is listed, however when I press the key in the game, it has no effect. For example, I have the Su25, the key command for "D" - switch weapons, "7" - Air to Ground, "Shf + o" - laser designator and other commands for the gun pods to elevate. When I press them nothing happens. Other keys work fine, "1" for Nav mode, "B" - Airbrakes, "F" Flaps, and so on. I have tried mapping the keystrokes to may Ch Hotas and have the same result. I tied capital and lowercase letters, I tried with my keyboard with game mode on and game mode off. (keyboard is Logitech G105). I don't think the problem is with the keyboard because in other games the interface is fine, as well as I am typing here. Has anyone had similar issues. If so what can be done.

sorry for posting in the wrong section...but where did you move this too?

I haven't played DCS games for a while but has been on my computer. I went to try and start up LOckon 3 and went to the Su25 but my joystick didn't function. I went to the options screen and wanted to check on the profile...and there was no information. There was no commands, no key profiles....it was all blank, What do I do now.

I am crashing too....but with a10c I only play single player mission\campaigns Hope there is a fix soon... Win 7 64 bit i7 2600K CPU @3.40 Ghz 8.00 gb ram SB X-FI

tried the repair....didn't work. Where do you find the crash log? Can you reverse the update to go back to the last version that did work? If so how?
