Happening to me still. DCS ver 2.7.0.5118 .trk file is 38Mb. The freeze happens on the way back to the carrier at around 70NM. Fix is to dial up another freq (any freq) and then back to the TACAN I was tracking. Thanks! https://1drv.ms/u/s!AgkMLBL2BRQJgYRsTMgYjVRwMd0wng?e=SbV9fh (disregard the use of engine autostart procedure! This is the third time I had attempted this mission and I was getting sick of it )

The SA display is working for me in 2.7. The check in is different to the missions before for me. I hear a big check when all players check in, then nothing. I just launch as close as possible behind Hammer 11 (CY11 on SA page) and find him airborne (which is bloody hard!).

Hey mate, I know you're probably past the development stage for the R1 campaign, but have you seen the new feature in 2.7 that lets you set up AAA barrages, rather than having to put in drones, etc to make them fire? I noticed this is what you've done in M10 (no spoilers).

Try boxing "SIM" on the right side of the stores page and select master arm to on.

Ok Thanks. I got through it in the end. Just had to be more careful with my fuel and hit all the targets first pass. Sucks that no tanking is a limitation of DCS. It would be good - especially on CAS missions - if you could go back and forth to the tanker while your wingman stays on station and vice-versa.

Hi @baltic_dragon A couple of problems with Mission 9. 1. After killing the helos, the AAA and wingy and I killing the APC and outpost respectively, I get no more comms from Venom. Had to go to tanker and come back so I guess it's possible he called when I was on tanker freq. Anyway after I got back to Mordor, still nothing so I scrolled though the F7 view to find 3 x IRN troops standing next to a building. Could not see any US troops. I put a GBU 12 into the Iranians, but they didn't die. See screen shot of them standing in the crater my bomb caused! I was now out of ordnance so just went back to ship. Did not progress in mission. 2. Wingman won't get fuel from tanker. Tried using the DCS menu to get him to but no response. He eventually ran out and was last seen bouncing off the ocean (he's obviously set to invincible). This is a problem in a lot of the missions. We need the option to hit the tanker almost any time and send the wingman as well. Loving the campaign though. Very immersive! Thanks.

I just played this and got them to show up. They're directly east of 'Mordor'. DCS ver 2.7.0.5118

G'day @baltic_dragon I started the campaign in 2.5. Just tried M03 after update to 2.7. Loving the campaign so far. Listening to audiobook between missions. All very immersive and very well done! Couple of issues though: I elect to take out all three targets (instead of Smoke). I bomb the first two, but run out of ammo trying to shoot the moving truck, so I get Smoke to (the option is still there in F10). Meanwhile I head to the tanker as I'm bingo. Smoke just orbits and continues to do so forever. There's no F10 options anymore. Then I can't call the tanker on radio menu. Only the S3 tanker (Texaco) over the carrier appears here now (see attached pic). There were two tankers in the menu on the first refuelling and I took a full tank of gas ("transfer complete"). And so that's the end of the mission for me. No gas to make it anywhere else. Also (and I'm guessing a limitation of DCS) the radio menu for the 'Exxon' tanker is 'Arco'. But in the kneepad and waypoints it's referred to as Exxon. Was a bit confusing at first.

+1 Just coming back to DCS after a ~9 year break. And I've just paid for the Raven One Campaign. Although it is excellent, my next mission is around 150min long. Would be good if I could save my progress and come back. Or hit checkpoints. Is it technically possible? I have no idea, but other complex games and sims seem to do it. See ARMA3 (all of the ARMAs in fact). You can save progress in SP campaigns in most places. The ability to save also allows the mission designer to offer more challenging scenarios with the knowledge that the player can re-attack if they die.

In case you were wondering if AAR works with the 2.0 Beta EFM

Posting this pre-2.7. Not really a bug, but either ED is gaslighting me, or 'CPL' sometimes flashes up on the blank lower position of the UFC (below RALT). Please someone else say you've seen this as well....

Bump. Because it’s an awesome vid. And to stop more re-posts of it.

Any chance we could get obsolete "how-to's" like this hidden? Just spent far too much time trying to make this work, even though it did seem to have been updated at some point...

Bump. I have the same question. My keyboard only has a print screen key, which doesn't take screenshots.

Anyone know what the two Xs are at the end of Rosh Pina airport RWY23? An X at the end of a RWY normally means it it closed, but not two painted like that. Google maps shows they do exist IRL. Also, while trying to find the answer to this before posting here, I found this bit of tragic history from the airport. Credit Wikipedia : On 19 April 1974 two Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallionhelicopters collided over the airport. One of the helicopters managed to land safely while the other helicopter crashed and caught fire. All 8 IDF soldiers on board died. On 4 February 1997 two Sikorsky CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters took off from the airport on their way towards the Israeli Security Zone in southern Lebanon. The helicopters collided over She'ar Yashuv in northern Israel and crashed, killing all 73 IDF soldiers on board (see 1997 Israeli helicopter disaster).

The Herc at least lets you. I’m making a mission now where you start in the middle of the Iraqi desert.

1. There’s lots of really old “how to’s” that still work fine. Usually they get updated by the OP or deleted. This one was stickied until just recently. 2. Instructions to use JSGME are being distributed right now with campaigns just released. 3. That thread is the first thing that comes up when you Google “DCS JSGME”. I understand that some of the instructions may be out of date, but not the entire program.

I spent hours trying to follow the instructions to get JSGME to work as per instructions in help files distributed with some DCE missions. Then gave up on JSGME. Then found this megathread on how to use JSGME (it's the first thing that comes up when you google "JSGME DCS") and spent more hours trying to follow that, only to get to the end of that thread to find that JSGME no longer works with DCS as JSGME is 32bit and therefore doesn't support files larger than 2Gb. Also, that generic pdf that gets distributed with DCE campaigns is bloody hard to follow with strange formatting and non-standard file paths mentioned throughout. I just want to spend more time flying the beautiful user-created content and less time in windows explorer. I also want butter that tastes like butter.

Yep. Tried in both Open Beta and stable. GNS430 not installed in either. Crashes DCS every time loading finishes when cockpit is first displayed. Herc ver 6.2

You can just add R Shift + B for the same command in DCS so it will work for either Shift key. As far as I can tell, it isn't assigned to anything else (for F/A-18C Sim anyway)

Yup thanks. That fixed it. I had put it in the right place, but still also had a copy in the DCS World directory as well. A result of trying to follow the very confusing instructions that came with the Hornet over PG Campaign. Followed @MBot 's instructions above which are much more straight forward. The Hornet over PG install instructions also don't say anything about having to have MBot's Dynamic Campaign Engine already installed, but not I do, it DCE shows up in the list of campaign types.

I'm getting this error, too and this is the only place I can find someone else with it. What did @Skynet99 mean by 'wrong tech folder'?

Can't wait for Nevada to be put back in, so I can use the mission I made in the Beta. :(

offset smoke Don't know if it's possible in the sim with AI JTAC, but.... The smoke doesn't have to be ON the target. It can be dropped and then an attack position relative to the smoke passed to the pilot. Eg: "Target is 500m north of smoke"

Ordinance (boring) ORDNANCE! (not so boring)
