Hi,
looks like the update of this campaign did not made it to the latest update from DCS. (Also not included in the changelog)
Parking in M01 is still off. However the Fix for the taxiing and takeoff problem for AI Planes helped here that the the first Devil flight is no longer blocking the runway, and also the AI Lead of the second flight is taking of.
Did not try the whole mission yet, as I just wanted to check if it is working at the start phase.
Regards

Thanks, hoping for next update then. In the meanwhile looking into the Sommer Sale.
And good to know, to use Facebook or Discord as second contact option.

I just got the map and campaign today (6/25/2025) and I am having these exact issues. Campaigns at a dead stop until this gets fixed.
Thanks, good to know that I am not the only one. Bad that there is no feedback at all.

After the latest update from today 19.06.2025 the campaign seems to be broken.
Tried M01 today and the first observation was, that the parking spot of the own Aircraft was at an other parking spot, on the right side from the other figters.
Second: The first Devil flight taxies to the runway, and are getting permission to take of, but they do not do. They just keep standing at the start of the runway. So after our flight arrives at the runway, it is blocked and the lead does not take off.
I guess this is due to the update to the map, which was included in todays patch. Please have a look. I just bought the campaign and wanted to try the M01 a second time. thats why I know that the parking slot changed.
Can not say anything to the other missions, as I did not try them jet at all.
Thanks for looking into it

Do, you have some updates to this ?
I saw, that the F-16 campaign from Reflected seems to have similar problems on Kola map.

Hi,
I also have reported a bug at the Baltic Dragon campaign for the F-18. Just started the campaign and re-tried M01. After the update the spawn point of player fighte is total diferent place, and the first Devil flight, which should takeoff before our flight, just stays at the runway starting point, and the lead from our flight will not take off, as the runway is blocked.
So hopefully this will be solved soon. Unfortunately it seems that only me is reporting this. And no one is commenting. Hoping at least for updates on the thread for next week
Regards

No one else discovering this ?
Am I the only one ?

Moin,
Sinnvoll wäre es vielleicht, wenn ein Thema droht auszuufern, einen neuen, eigenen Thread zu erstellen und alle Kommentare dorthin zu verschieben.
Ich vermute mal, dass dies nur ein Admin kann, und dass wäre wohl zuviel Arbeit für nur ein oder zwei Personen.

Finally I managed to fly the mission 6. Unfortunately I made some mistakes and was not able yet to finish it. Tried 3 times
But it is nice done, and I will try again.
Thanks for your great work !

Just 2 posts above they are communicating.
Also they are very active in Discord communicating.
The Name of the Game is DCS not Discord. So I expect that the developer will communicate here, as we have an extra thread for them.
If the main communication chanel is Discord, we just should remove all entries here and just put a link to the Discord chanel instead.

What did you think of the radio dialog at the different target points in M5?
Thats a good idea. So you can not just say "no view on target" and then just fly to next checkpoint without to confirm you looked at the right spot.
And sometimes you maybe have to correct the angle from where you are looking, to see if you can identify the asked question correctly. Which makes it more interesting from the scouting side.

M5
Real Life got me grounded for some days. But today I finally managed to fly Mission 5.
This is a nice one, even did not fire a single shot.
But had to use the Smoke Cheat as I lost Tigr with the MMS and could not find him visually afterwards. Not so easy as a single seater.
Everything worked fine for me in this mission.

M4
So finally Mission 4 worked for me. I flew Version 1.00
No problem to follow Condor with Nightvision on. The only problem was the erratic maneuvers of Condor over the riverbed. This could be some kind of smoother. Sometimes Condor gets so slow and suddenly gaining altitude, that I nearly crashed into them. Also they fly much to high. I guess it is very difficult to get Condor flying "more normal"
Yeah, lets check M5 now.

In the Multiplayer Advanced Settings there are settings that will start the mission at load time (i.e. before the client/player loads in) or start the mission paused.
It is this setting that allows the Kiowa to spawn before/with the static Blackhawk/service vehicle.I had "Resume with clients" checked and this was the cause, switching to "Resume on load" allowed the slot 1 Kiowa to spawn in the correct place and as in your video.
Thanks, will check that, and try.
Edit: This worked for me too. Thanks !

Thanks for checking.
For me it is exactly as in the video from Ramsay. Except, I did not try to move back from Slot 2 to Slot 1. Will try this the next time, unfortunately first in some days. Also I will try if makes a difference to launch from the ME.
By the way I am using the MT and I always update to latest version.
Thanks

Not EA release != bug-free release.
There will never be a bug free state of software and people need to get down to earth if they think they'll get a bug free module no matter how many years it's in development and no matter who develops it.
Sure,
But releasing an module explizit not in EA, forces the expectation that at least major Bugs will not Pop up.
At the release of this module, it feels more than all the other EA's. Beta test by customer. Just remember the reports from users at release time.
I totally agree. No software will be Bug free. And I am happy, that the devs will update when they are happy with the new Version. But for me and others as it seems, it feels as an EA and therefore the modul pricing is to high at release time.
They should have released it as EA with a discount you then normally get, and I guess, there would have been much less discussion about quality and Bugs.

It looks like I am doing something wrong, or something is broken.
I start the mission as multiplayer server, as you suggested.
When I choose Slot 1, I am still stuck right in front of the Blackhawk and the ground vehicle.
When I choose Slot2 the Chinnock will not start. Just for fun I flew the route, and nothing happened during the flight. Landing at Uniform did also not trigger anything.

Nun läuft es wieder flüssig, jedoch wieder mit diesem flimmern. Man könnte es fast wie ein Hitzeflimmern beschreiben.
Das dürfte die MR sein. Wenn du OpenXR wieder aktiv hast, installier doch auch das OpenXR Toolkit und deaktiviere dort mal die MR. Dann müßte das flimmern weg sein.

M4 first issue
When in SP and choosing Slot 1, the Kiowa spawns right in front of the Blackhawk and half on the ground vehicle.
Slot 2 is fine. Flying through the riverbed is fun. Unfortunately I made an mistake halfway through and over torqued the bird and brushed against a tree
HeHe not a good idea to fly there if you are not fully concentrated 
.
Yeah and you are right ! It has to be fun. Locking forward to your Video.

M3
Finally I could make it. Costs me 3 more tries, but it was fun anyway.
I loaded 2 APKWS Pod (no need for Hellfires) and max. allowed fuel. I Got Bingo Fuel first as I was short to land this bird.
With setup of 2 APKWS Pods and max. Fuel with overloading the bird, it was much more difficult to fly and I got once in an vortex state and crashed. It was not possible to recover the Helo and it fellt down to earth as an stone.
Yeah, I need to get an CPG. Can asume that this mission must be fun with more Kiowas and CPG in the air.

Als ich hier gelesen habe, man solle als AMD Karten Besitzer lieber zu Steam greifen, als zu OpenXR, war ich sehr erstaunt, da es "früher" immer hieß, das OpenXR die bessere Wahl ist.
Nun denn, aus Neugier habe ich mal umgestellt und sofort wieder auf meine alten Settings mit OpenXR gewechselt, da mir die Qualität mit Steam einfach zu schlecht war.
Im Toolkit, habe ich allerdings MR auf aus, dafür den Turbo Mode an. Mit MR im Toolkit auf ein, ist das Bild irgendwie wobbelig und damit nervig.
FSR im DCS auf ein, war auch nicht der bringer. Das Bild wurde dann wieder verschwommen, und Instrumente kaum ablesbar. Eine Zeitlang hat es tatsächlich recht gut funktioniert, indem man dann die Pixel Density etwas erhöht hat, was dann wiederum den Performance Gewinn von FSR aufgefressen hat. Bei einem der letzten Updates hat sich FSR auch irgendwie erledigt und funzt sehr schlecht.
Unterm Strich läuft bei mir OPenXR ohne MR am besten. Klar ruckelt es hin und wieder aber für mich der beste Kompromiss aus Bildqualität und Nutzbarkeit in VR. Kann sich eben nicht jeder eine GamingPC für 3500 - 4000 Euro leisten.

thanks for your feedback.
You are totally right, the Kiowa is more a scout than an attack helicopter.
Yeah I guess it is more fun with 2 or more Kiowas, even having a CPG on board would change the gameplay.
In my next attempt I will try something different.
1. I will overload the Kiowa. Even this is not realistic.
2. In the first part I hovered a long time at the harbour, which I think used a lot of fuel. Instead I will fly orbits and see if this has any change of fuel consumption.
3. I will maybe first search for the CORDS and store them as Target Points (the fixed ones) and then attack them from the distance. Luckely you can fly the Kiowa from the left side and use the MMS at the same time.
Will report how it works.

Yes M3, was a misstyping. And yes again, I am flying solo in a one ship configuration.
As there is not much action on the first Part and easy flying, I will just try to overload the Copter with max fuel at startup.
Refueling at the airport is maybe also an idea.
How many targets are there? Is it even possible with two APKWS pods, to eliminate all targets?

Problems with the F/A-18 counterpart of Artic Thunder by Baltic Dragon
in Bugs and Problems
Posted
Yeah, this was/is a issue. I posted it on the correct forum, but Baltic is not very often underway in the forum. However the update of DCS solved the taxi / takeoff problem. The wrong parking spot is still there. So it looks like the update from Baltic did not manage to get into latest DCS update.
