Hi team, I'm starting to think the recent updates might be behind a few glitches. According to some YouTube videos, the latest SCUD post isn't activating, despite me being able to find it. Could you guys check on that? Loving the campaign so far, but wow, this mission's a tough one! Also, I'm stuck scoring below 70 (and, frustratingly, can't take down the S3 with a Maverick. Anybody successful on this one?), plus there's another S3 refueling at Texaco. Seems like I'm not the only one running into these problems. Any insights or fixes would be greatly appreciated!

This is a picture from a video from a couple of years ago. The hose is clearly longer. When is anybody going to fix this bug?

I encountered the same challenges because of an evidently shorter fuel hose.

Hi Guys, I've encountered a challenge with air-to-air refueling on the F18 following the 2.9 update, specifically when interacting with the S-3 tanker. Unlike the KC135, with which I have no issues, the S-3's refueling probe appears to have undergone changes. It seems the probe may have been shortened, requiring a closer approach to the tanker for a successful connection. This has made the refueling process noticeably more unstable. Has anyone else experienced increased difficulty with the S-3 tanker since the 2.9 update? Any insights or suggestions to adapt to this potential change would be greatly appreciated.

Great suggestions so far. Renaming this thread to "Darkening or Inconsistent Brightness Issue" would probably sound more correct and make it easier for others to find and contribute to this specific problem. I've done some troubleshooting on my end as well—updated drivers, checked settings, and also ruled out TrackIR as the source of the issue. However, the darkening or inconsistent brightness continues to plague my gameplay, particularly during night missions. It's especially frustrating that this problem seems to manifest mid-mission, which makes it difficult to complete night objectives effectively. Looking forward to ED's new release to hopefully resolve this issue. In the meantime, if anyone has found any sort of workaround or fix, please share! @scommander2 this never happened to me in any 2.8.x

Hey @Hiob, I followed your suggestion, but there wasn't any such binding to change. However, I did manage to resolve most issues by tweaking the graphics settings and Vsync options both in my Nvidia card and in the game. One persistent problem is that at night, during recovery, all graphics suddenly darken almost to the point of going black, then gradually fade back in. It's odd and occurs consistently. Attached are my graphics settings for both DCS and my Nvidia 4070 card, which might provide some insight. For context, I'm using a triple 4K monitor setup. Looking forward to your thoughts.options.lua NVIDIA System Information 10-29-2023 11-15-59.txt

I'm currently using DCS version 2.9.0.47168, and since the latest update, the game has become unplayable due to TrackIR issues. The device is exhibiting erratic behavior like inverted controls, flickering, and disconnections. I've attempted a software reinstall, but the problem persists. This issue is new; I never experienced such problems before the update. Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thanks @Scotch75 it worked by selecting full a/b before saluting

I'm running DCS 2.9.0.47168 After the latest update, mission 6 has appears to have some bugs. Once on the catapult, they will not launch the aircraft, no matter what. Please advise.

2.8.6.41363 version here and Weed won't launch. Any news @baltic_dragon?

I managed to refly the mission and overfly the village at 1500 " which did not trigger the sam launch, but when Smoke did it, I heard his warning and we could end the mission with no problems.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a possible bug I encountered while playing DCS (Digital Combat Simulator). So, I've flown this mission before and decided to give it another shot while waiting for the DF campaign to be fixed in M1. Here's the issue: No matter what I do—whether it's flying at different heights, changing directions, or using decoying techniques—I always end up getting hit by the SAM launch over the city. It's become impossible for me to survive this part of the mission. This never used to happen in the past, so I'm thinking it might be related to the latest updates. Can any of you confirm if you're experiencing the same problem? I'm currently on version 2.8.6.41066. Thanks for your help!

Hey Baltic Dragon, I'm running DCS 2.8.5.40170 and tried finally out this campaign. I checked some videos on YT and all the mission briefing, but I'm not able to even take off. After receiving the signal from the marshaler, I approach cat 2, but noone's ever ready. I tried to fast forward to see if it was just a matter of waiting but no other AI traffic is moving. I don't have any mod installed and the raven one works just fine. Am I doing anything wrong? Thanks for your help.

Forgive my dumbness!

The only way I could finish this mission with a 100 score was by running away after killing the two F4. If I stay in the area I always get instantly killed by the M29 with barely the time to spot it on the RWR, no matter the heading, the height, the location. If one could have a single chance to do this campaign, mine would have ended here. I don't know if it's a matter of DCS updates that made it more difficult, and I'm sure with a stealth fighter this is what would probably happen, but it makes it so frustrating. If there's a trick or a method I'd like to know about it! @baltic_dragonany hints?

In raven one, in the same folder we had kneeboard files and the missions briefing package. For some reason the pdfs for the MB are not availbale this time. Can we get them?

It is happening to me every time, seems that the wingmen don't engage appripriately. Should I attack the F5 right after bombing the facility?

After a few attempts I managed to get this mission right. You absolutely need to get in formation with Prince before WP3 and activate guard when he tells you. Then, very important, is that you ACM with Prince until Joker fuel, and that you announce Joker with F10, otherwise it goes all crazy. Last but not least, ACM with Hariri until he has enough otherwise you might get killed if you run away too soon (that happened to me!). I struggled a lot to AAR after such a tough mission but ended safely on the deck in the end. Can't wait for another series Baltic Dragon :)
