Ready

Yes some sort of batch to let DCS run through the mods and rebuild would be real nice. But it became second nature to manually reload all the shaders and go through the motions etc, so no biggie. Every couple of weeks a couple of hours reloading is well worth it in the end. My lesson learned is to not allow DCS to update on flight nights. Many thanks @speed-of-heat for the Hotfix! Much appreciated!

Thank you. The first time I used Tacview to find out when and where those nasty manpads were appearing so I nailed them the second time around, but then a second group of manpads appeared a few minutes later somewhere down the radio tower. I then was properly fed up and moved on to M13 by adjusting the logbook.lua. Okay I am a bit of a cheater, but hey, this was the only way for me to continue. I understand your reasoning and appreciate the explanation for the mission design. I can appreciate some unexpected manpads and am more than happy to feed them a rocket or two, but the combination with the long travel for the replay took away all the pleasure. I have no problem with flying long distances, if there is a purpose to it and if it doesn't interfere with the storyline. The first time around it didn't do that so much, but the second and third time around it did so big time for me. I sometimes increase the simulator speed while on long autopilot stretches, just to get through the rather boring parts, but that is not how it should be done. I had a similar issue with a another studio's mission in the past. I kept failing at a certain point (had to make a fast coordinated turn in a nightly storm with a very small error treshold), which was like 40 minutes into the mission, and everytime I failed at this point. It is just frustrating having to do everything all over again, if it takes more than 30 minutes to reach the failure point and you only have a limited time to fly, because you know, life. It would be nice if ED somewhere in the future could introduce a save/load function for single player missions. This would help immensely with the learning curve, because I would be more than happy to replay a certain part 100 times to get it down. Anyways, I am happy you got my point and I found a way to move on. I have another question; a few missions ago there was some kind of distress signal that I should have traced. I could not make it out and had no clue as to how find the source of it. It kept repeating all the way to the landing. What was that? Cheers,

Thanks!

During mission 13 after having engaged a friendly target (which was designated enemy), we are asked to contact Falcon. But nowhere the falcon frequency is given. Maybe earlier inside this mission, but from within VR it is quite difficult to note down or remember frequencies given earlier. Could not find them in the briefing or the mission document. There is no other way to finish this mission if the frequency is not found.

Hi I am truly loving the Persian Freedom campaign, but I get really upset right now with mission 12 (the CAS mission to support 4 stranded operators near a pumping station and radio tower). 1; There are manpads spawning, just as you fly low over them (on the mountain side and south of the radio tower), which is not how things work in real life. Manpads can not magically appear out of thin air at spots where there was no manpad a few seconds ago. Which brings me to the second point; 2;The trip from wheels up to the extraction point is waaay too long, 80+NM is crazy and takes out all the fun of restarting and playing it all over again. Especially if you know you will run into these crazy-magic manpads again, which I did 3 times now. One of these issues can be okay, but the combination really takes out all my joy. Please help me or fix these issues so I can continue because I would really love to finish this campaign. Thank you,

Why not putting it out there mission by mission? Would hapily pay for smaller parts

It happens to me too every time, flew about 6 times already and am ready to toss it aside and don't want to pick it up anymore. After the touch and go I am just waiting for the termination right after the climb out and the first turn, which I know is coming. I hate it because it takes a long time to get to that point every time and it is very straining to keep focusing on the HUD all the time while in bad weather.

Hi I am new to DCS and am learning to fly the A-10CII. I have been flying around now for a couple of weeks and yesterday was brave enough to srtart the Georgian Hammer campaign. During the 3rd mission I got some bullits up my ()*ss and returned to ask the ground crew for a repair. I asked for ground power so I did not have to fully shut down and start up again, but forgot to release ground power upon heading out again. Once I returned from the second turn I went to park and wanted to fully shut down, but the electric systems were not shutting down and it turned out they were still being fed by ground power. I had to request ending the ground power. after all systems shut down. That's a hell of a long power cable!. ;) Fantastic learning experience!
