  1. I had same problem with Steam but reason was that disk was almost full.
  2. "If you have either DCS: Normandy 1944 or DCS: The Channel maps, you can purchase Normandy 2 for $14.99 USD." I have The Channel so this is must have (like The Kola Peninsula).
  3. UN and Larkins are good campaigns for learning. After these Argo teached a lot but I haven't yet flew The Paradise Lost. Larkins was very fun campaign, I recommended it fully.
  4. When it was changed? Does it is not place where MISSION 15 ARGO CAMPAIGN.pdf (in campaign Doc folder) says? It have a some time (June 2021) I flew that mission.
  5. I changed Reverb G1 to Quest 2. G1 has little better image quality but tracking is better with Quest 2. When I use Quest 2 for sims I keep it in charger (normal 2m usb cord) using airlink so battery is full all of time. I changed because Reveb cord didn't last in my use. It was two times in warranty. We used it with room-scale too (I have 8 year old boy) and that was the problem, not sims. G2 may have better cord. Quest 2 works wireless so I recommend it if you play others than sims too. Reverb G2 is better if you play only sims. What comes to price you must remember that Quest need external headset or head strap because sounds are lousy. I think without charger or external battery you can play about 2-3 hours with airlink so head strap with battery may be a correct choose.
  6. If you fly front of the desk do lighthouses track your head when put your head under desk (ie look some gauges or other near the pedals)? So your body blocks visibility of rear tracker and desk blocks visibility of front tracker. I have never used lighthouse trackers, that problem was in Rift. I thing lighthouses are better on this and you can prevent this almost all with placement. I had reverb G1 and tracking was not good. It didn't worked when looked down, I don't know why. Quest 2 have far better tracking.
  7. You can transfer modules from Steam to standalone, not otherwise. So when you buy from steam you get both. Steam gives you (source DCS) - Auto-Update without launching the game (as long as steam is open) - Faster Download/Update Speed - Steam In-Game Overlay - Steam Friend List Notifications - Quick Repair And you can change install folder easily on steam. Standalone gives you 14 days trials and -50% for new customers. I took steam because it has sales when standalone not after free-to-play period ended. I have lot of other games in steam also,
  8. It is a club non-profit rent price (all included) in Finland. I think cost is not bad. If you buy a plane it costs far more than that.
  9. I have been using steam because download speed and because steam updates games automatically. I have thinking to changing standalone because trials, they are only in standalone. Please notice if you are new you will get "All new DCS World users can take advantage of a 50% discount on their first purchase, regardless of whether they buy just one module or the whole library!" https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/personal/licensing/trial/ "Free to play system that lets you evaluate each of our products for 14 days! Test one aircraft for two weeks and then another one for next two or maybe download a new terrain at the same time, whatever you fancy. Each product will give you a full fourteen days to evaluate and enjoy without any limitations or obligations. If you’ve tried a particular product and aren’t 100% certain or want to re-evaluate at a later date, then no worries, once six months has gone by, take it up for another two-week free test flight and decide if you like what you see."
  10. You can trial any aircraft 14 days so maybe you could start with Huey? It is very basic helicopter so you would learn basics. I do not know if other helicopter modules have better training missions https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/personal/licensing/trial/filter/type-is-helicopter/apply/
  11. Varjo VR3 is 150€ ($175?) per month with 3 year subscription. It is pretty high. It doubles your sim budjet but it may be acceptable. Yoy get less than one hour of IRL flying with cessna 172 for 150€ and almost 2h per month with Ikarus C42. I have noticed that it is better to compare to IRL flying what comes about cost. At least I do when I speak with my spouse Would you fly IRL 20 hours per year less to get Varjo?
  12. Do you have any warranty left? Mine Reverb has been two times on warranty service because that cable and gor replacement. The cable is very bad if you play room scale games.
  13. This is a game bug, not for a campaign itself. Nevertheless it makes the mission very hard Because bug you can't see mountains, river or sea with NVG. You can use search light or fly high. Seems that search light do not help with sea so landing to Argo is very hard. It is possible to do mission succesful, but I hope you could tweak lightning so we could do it like instructed. I attached link where you can see how to fix this temporary ("temporary solution for now is to edit the .miz in editor, modify date so that there is full moon and perhaps remove clouds if theyre thick"). Edit: I got campaign successful. I did flew enough high and IFR, a search light is too dim. Most difficult to me was landing to Argo in dark, took few tries. Thank you for a good campaign. I will recommend Argo even with these flaws (ADF navigation and night missions).
  14. I have this problem with last mission of Argo (Huey) campaign. How long this has been unfixed? Maybe I should ask the creator modify mission.
  15. Finally got this mission done. It took several times, I think over ten times. Last time those boats were destroyed by one strafing run for each pair where I was gunner on flexible sight. I am not very good in aiming yet This mission was frustating but luckily DCS have time acceleration. Argo campaign is very good overall, worth of every penny.
  16. I recommend Huey. It is basic helicopters which is done very well.
  17. I didn't had problem with this mission. I have done 11 first missions. I change my spot so I shoot myself, so AI May be flawed. I have problems with AI gunners in night. There is own area for Argo. https://forums.eagle.ru/topic/245084-mission-6-wont-advance-after-suicide-bombers-show-up/?tab=comments#comment-4521924 Campaign have problems with ADF navigation. One mission I crashed cargo but mission succeeded any way.
  18. I completed mission 3 succesfully about week ago, I did damaged cargo also. Maybe it is just difficult but possible? I have completed first 10 missions now succesfully. I noticed in one mission that if you have sling cargo and press active pause on cargo rope will broke. This is ED also, just advice not to use it. Mission ten was fun, although I failed couple times. I have problems with some ADFs (like Kobuleti 490Mhz) in some missions. I am not sure if they are bugs or if it user error. Maybe someone should look of those? I have liked this campaign, thanks for developers.
  19. I remember somehow that I ruined the cargo but when I finally landed to Argo it was mission succeed. So I didn't tried again, but It just mean that bug don't show always. I hope you get help in Argo section. You are sure that you landed to Argo? FM radio homing (AN/ARC 131 FM RADIO) works so you can find Argo with it. Argo is good campaign but it needs attention from developers. I think you can skip missions if you want. I marked my position to kneeboard map when navigation not worked, it helps a lot.
  20. UN mission 2 have a bug, but @Flappie offered fix to it I played UN through, that was only fix I needed. Argo have own forum area https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/511-uh-1h-argo-campaign/, maybe you found help there. I am currently in mission 10 in Argo. I have noticed several ADF problems, otherwise it is good campaign. There is some bugs although. I highly recommend free Larkin Aviation in Syria campaign to you if you have Syria Map. There is version of Persian Gulf too bu I have not that map. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3312166/ I think time acceleration (Ctrl+Z accelerate and Shift+Z reset time) feature is handy with Argo and UN.
  21. This was a good review. I am in mission 10 now and I can recommend this campaign. What comes about fly times I use time acceleration (Ctrl+Z accelerate and Shift+Z reset time), this feature is very handy. Specially if you must to fly mission again. Biggest issue of campaign is that some ADFs are broken currently. I had to look kneeboard and I used mark my position feature. Is that cheating? It feels like cheating but it is good option. I had dot labels in use, these helps a lot specially in night missions (I use VR).
  22. Do you have same problem than he is in issue 2? (Argo have own forum area) "Near the end, my task was to fly over the convoy to assess damage. This did not appear to register. I flew back and forth over the convoy barely missing power poles, then tried wider circles, accelerated time etc. Eventually after many minutes when I was flying a wide circle looking for missing vehicles, it suddenly triggered as complete."
