I know this is necro, but i too am sick of Malwaresofts crap, this could be useful in the near future !! Thanks for posting!! just wondering if anyones tried Virpils gear on linux???

oh, so thats probably where i lost matrix, i pushed to WP2, did say form up with colt, but i couldnt see them, and on the SA page there was only 2 planes, apart, and they were way behind me, so i pushed, i did see the turks though, and when i flew towards them then they split and one formed on me, so i headed back towards WP2. Dont think i formed back with him after the intercept though, as i was cleared RTB, and the chopper was on station. This one sounds like user error, my bad man!! Might have to run it back

So just finshed 5, an i was able to complete it, but not sure what happened to matrix but didnt have him with me whole flight, obviously his voice lines were still firing but i only had the F5 on my wing. This was fine, as he doesnt need to do anything, but on RTB i was unable to contact the ABE either, i was on PRI ch1 (127.5), just got no response, so obviously couldnt do the case 3, so just used tacan, got the magnetic heading from F10 map and landed case 1, and mission completed, but just wanted to report

Yeh i thought he said was coming in may update too, or maybe it was just wishful thinking?!! Im guessing will be next month now!

Yep, im using MT too (i really wish they'd make it default!), I just retried then, and he DOES say "just hold the trigger" but the mission has already failed at that point. As you can see in the track, when i look at the pod, the laser is firing too. I think i had both set up, i know i do have "2nd detent" set, not sure bout the other one, as im not sure what its used for, but i did try both. Actually now i think about it, maybe thats why he said "just hold it" after the fail?? but it seems like the lasers flashing from the start?? Heres the track anyways EDIT: Just retried, holding only the 2nd press on trigger, same issue greenline track.trk

So i didnt get the ford comment saying "now i just got to hold it", like in your video, just the 2 "fire the laser", immediately after he releases, but the laser is firing, as its flashing on the TGP. Im bout to try again, will try get a bit closer, see if it makes a difference. As for the potato computer theory, im on a 13700kf, 3090 with 32gbs, so i doubt its that, i also have zero mods installed, as all i do is play campaigns.

Just reading the patch notes, just wanted to say thanks for implementing this, i really appreciate it. Picked up the new campaign too, only just started it, but looks good so far (apart from a laze issue in M01, i commented elsewhere). Anyways thanks again !!

I got the same issue, i was 9 miles from target (too far?), and before the bomb landed i got mission failed, but matrix still hit it, and trident called hit, and matrix told me to continue lasing for 2nd run etc, but due to the fail, mission stopped. I also noticed he says "fire the laser" twice, almost like a glitch??

Also BD is quite aware of their short comings and tries to make the missions not too wingman dependant, but issues will arise, thats just gaming and software development in general unfortunately. Hes pretty good at fixing them, even with his older campaigns, when they do "break", he will overhaul the entire campaign, making it enjoyable to play back through, as he changes loadouts etc giving it a fresh experience. No offense to the other builders but if you havent played a campaign from the big 3 (Baltic dragon, reflected & ground pounder sims), you havent experienced proper campaigns!!! I think most these guys use scripted wingmen now days anyway, i think "the enemy within v3.0" still has SOME wingman actions, but its very old, his newer stuff is mostly automated. You still have to follow orders/cues, as you would in real life, if you just wana "freestyle", and go where you want, and blow up what you want, then i'd suggest multiplayer.

So i uninstalled Oculus software and the oculus tray tool, then the game started straight up, so something buggy there!! which obviously effects older software too !! Thanks for the help Newy !!

I do have a quest 2, but tbh dont really use it, but the oculus software is on my PC, so i just turned the headset on then, and its asking me to update TO v62, so i guess im on v61 still?? might try remove oculus all together

The other day there was a "Cumulative update" to windows (23H2 i think) and i also recently updated my Nvidia drivers (551.52), but now when i try launch DCS, both normal & mt, the nvidia splash comes up, then the DCS 15 years splash comes up, and then the game just crashes. Ive attached the log file, from "savegames/dcs/logs", but as the game never actually launches, i dont know how helpful it is!! While in there i did notice a "dcs.log.old" file, should i perhaps delete that? i also attached the windows version im now running. Systems a 13700kf, 32gb ddr5, rtx 3090, nvme ssd dcs.log

You need to be in guard, so click the channel wheel, so the active freq. comes up, and make sure GRCV on the ufc (top right) has a semi colon next to it, like this : It does say this in all the briefings of this campaign, and is a good habit to get into anyway, when setting up the jet

Just revisited, and all worked ok!! I think the voice for the tanker when flip makes contact doesnt work though, same for the farewell, yet when smoke is preparing to tank i hear audio, and im able to contact tanker with dcs menu, so i must be on correct freq etc.

I just came back to this mission as it previously had a bug, but i think ive encountered another. After i hit the tanker my wingman connected, but then just sat there, for at least 5-10min i was just orbiting with the tanker, ended up quitting. I did notice its now using the new S3 model, which may be a DCS bug, but just thought i'd report it!! Will try again tomorrow, see if it was a once off, and report back

but in the kneeboard ch4 is sword flight or the incirlik dep freqs, isnt it? then it has the H4 ones. I will say my nav stuff, wasnt aligning properly, like when i was at WP8 hud said i was 48 miles away, ive been getting it a bit lately, may be a F16 bug, but the autopilot still tracks correctly! but when i couldnt get contact initially i actually started doing a in-flight alignment, but wasnt done before landing and the menus hadnt worked so i just landed. The voice over, and HSI TCN both indicated 60miles though, and there was still no F10 menu

Hey @ChillNG, just got done with mission 9, your right it is intense, although, i just found a bug, on the way back to H4 none of the landing triggers worked. Forrest says to Rotor checking in with H4 so i went to Ch.8, there was no F10 option, sometimes i confuse approach with arrival, so tried Ch9, nothing, done that all the way down to landing, no F10 menu displayed at any times i tried.. just a heads up !!

Yep that sorted it, the LIST, ENTER, 1, 1, trick works, although when i tried doing it on the ground one time, my speed brakes kept opening while in flight, and had to quit?! But think you were right, this time i skipped the initial 8 and just offset, and used that MAV on the Nth 8 instead, and then got the sentinel message. Such an epic mission though !! Just read the briefing to the next one too, which also sounds like a brain bender !! Thanks for the help

So just got through the RECON mission, as we started our run, i got the first 8 with a mav, then the 11 i had co-ords to with my 2nd mav (also request rotor to fire 1 harm), and then action went down, i then popped the FC with my harm. Then got rotor onto one of the popup 8's (which made him winchester), and i had to take the 2nd one with guns, but after i got the 2nd one, Rotor confirmed the kill, but after that, nothing!! The F10 option to cancel and RTB wasnt there either. So i circled till i had 2500 in fuel, then went 100miles to the tanker and came back, still nothing, even when i returned to H4 there was no options for contacting arrival etc, and score was only 50 I actually had a similar thing in M02, got the 3 8's, and 2 FC's for memory, and the mission appeared to hang, but in that instance i was able to cancel task and rtb, but did only get 85, even though i got all targets (i think). Heres the TACVIEW from the RECON mission if it helps @ChillNG Tacview-20231229-204031-DCS-FIWOS M8 FINAL.zip.acmi oh, also, none of my flight was coming up on DATALINK, is that by design to make it harder, or has something possibly changed in the F16? i know there was recent updates to datalink in the latest OB patch, so forgive me if i missed something

Make Campaigns they said.... It'll be FUN they said...

maybe try the 120 in pitbull, you should be able to notch in burners then come back around with the 9's. i was the same tbh, i usually only do 1 or 2 missions a night, this one definitely gave me strife. i think i dove down low and got him (the 2nd one) on the way back up with the 9's

not sure if its because im unable to align it from a cold start, but all my symbols are WAAAYY off where they should be, like if im looking at SA8, it says the cameras looking at the sky, and making the mission pretty difficult, especially finding the last TEL with guns as i cant see where my pod is looking. i also noticed on one of my runs, the INS didnt align, it got to 10, and i put it in NAV, but it never flashed with Align??!! Some weird viper stuff going on rn

In this track i just done, i dont designate ahead at all, i just have CDES boxed, the WP is a TGT, ptrk on, otrk is showing, and actively tracking target (with auto aq. press, within 7 miles) and to get the fall line all you have to do is TDC press and i got the shaq. Mans crazy F15 trak2.trk

i just made a quick track, in 2.9, showing it tracks moving vehicles, so im not sure what your actually referring to? my earlier comments go over the step by step. As mentioned above, CDES seems broken atm, typically if the WP is set to a target wp (with a . ), you dont even have to designate, but as cdes isnt designating atm, just do it once half a screen away from target, get the lock (i think you have to be within 9 mile slant range for it to grab?!). F15 trak.trk

i havent used in a little while, but it was working before, or did 2.9 break it? are you using cdes, ptrk and auto aq. , try changing bhot/whot to get a stronger lock, and designate ahead of vehicle half a screen length. i made this practice mission, with moving targets which i was able to track all (i havent tested with 2.9 though) https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3332223/
