Hi again, Thanks for the pointers. I had a really fun time working through my mods folder. My problem was traced to the SU30 EFM mod by Codename Flanker Community. The specific mod version in question was v2.7.43 Beta. I removed the SU30_EFM from the SavedGames Mods/aircraft folder and re-started DCS. The A-10C II cold start now works ok. I did not investigate the problem any further (since I only tried out the SU30 once or twice). Thanks again, and case closed. Kind regards, Paul

What was the solution? My A10-C II crashes on start-up. Other aircraft work fine. I have done a clean and repair but still crashes. A-10C II, Instant Action, Caucasus, Cold and dark. Crashes during Spawn Objects loading phase. Crash log attached. Any pointers gratefully received. dcs.log-20240127-190519.zip

Any chance of removing the low level mist from the Cold Start instant action mission on Normandy 2.0? It's really annoying when you just want to practice start-up and take-off procedures. VFR is better for training. IFR comes later. Thanks.

Haha. So funny. I was having trouble with this campaign until I noticed I had a centre drop tank fitted. You can do the whole channel transition on the drop tank. I only noticed when I ordered my buddies to engage, and I saw them jettison the centre tank. I'd been doing the missions for a few weeks, each time trying to limp home. I even made it once. lol

Started Epsom campaign after Normandy 2 update. Mission 4 briefs for engine start upon signal from telephone operator, but aircraft is hot start. No red signal flare (for at least the first hour!). Engine starts mis-firing after about half-hour of ground running. Cannot seem to clear it!?! Track attached. EpsomMission4.trk

Just finished. I had a grin on my face all the way through the final mission. Epic. A few general comments if they are helpful: Are you suppose to contact Andersen AFB when recovering to base? All my RTBs were silent. Some FM radios were not always giving any homing, e.g. Company HQ. More evident on the later part of some missions. This seemed a bit odd. If the map area was bigger this would make navigating home a little tricky. Would be nice to include guidance or tactics of proper OP for hot LZs for both Slick and Gunship. Be good to know how it should be done and a great learning oportunity. Overall 9/10 from me. 10/10 would need a fortunate son. lol Keep up the great work.

After dropping off at Company HQ, the only comms is "think I'll skip dinner". No further instruction for what is next? After a short while I decided to fly back to Anderson. The mission ended on touch down.

I have the same question - how to navigate back to Anderson? At the moment all I do is fly VFR generally in a NE direction. Some conditions are a little IFR/IMC.

I've been using the flare smoke direction as my guide. I always do landing approach into the smoke.

I've finished Mission 1 ok. Just the invisible carrier issue with this one. I'm currently side-tracked by buying the recent UH-1 Paradise Lost campaign. I'll get back to this campaign later.

The USS Carl Vinson CVN-70 is not visible. There are some F/A-18 hanging around in the air. DCS 2.8

During cold start and HUD on, turning the HMCS dial does nothing. Tried doing HMCS align but still nothing. HMCS works ok in Instant Action and other cold start missions.

Oops, sorry. I put this in the wrong place. This is about F-16. My bad.

License transfer works from Steam to ED, but not from ED to Steam. I started on Steam. I like to keep purchases all in one place to keep track of. I also want to keep the option to go back to Steam if the need arises. No other reason.
