The gun AND chaff/flares to boot! Very efficiant ICT team they have at the parking spot of your choosing. I think it would rock to have a designated area with a bomb-lift truck, aka Jammer, a weapons trailer, and a fuel truck. but I did the load toad thing for 14 years, so am biased...

I surely hope so, too. I have flown the first 2 that came with, a couple of times each under 3 different personas. The first, a short one, was not too time consuming to fix. The second is just excellent, and the 3rd is a lost cause. Once Nevada is released, I aim to create missions and maybe a campaign. I had thought about one for the current area, but know so little about the geo-politics, it would surely be lacking. I hope Wags is toiling on a campaign for the next terrain, as he did the second one in the current terrain, and did one heckuva job, IMHO...

Probably a stupid question, which I am confident I know the answer to, but will this work in V1.1.0.8? I was not fond of 1.1.0.9, so uninstalled all, and re-installed the prior. I attempt this mission, which really sounds like a cool premise, and get a Windows crash error when loaded to about 2/3's of the loading screen. If so, maybe I'll hold off on flying it until 1.1.0.10...

Shoot. If I get a single engine fire, and don't pull the handle most ricky-tick, I go POP! Was damage set to off? Is there even a setting for that? Cool vid, in a Machiavellian manner...

Another helpful hint is in Wags signature; "EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE" Pretty much, it will be available WHEN IT IS READY. And not a moment before...

Yessir. All panels open, jacked up in the air, and the crew chief on the intercomm keeps asking, "Hey, what are you doing?" Once the jet is dropped the foot and a half back to the ground, all panels close, and you are ready to rock. Spin the engines back up, ask for ground power to be switched off, ask for clearance, and go incite some more mayhem!

The first campaign is a real meat grinder. I finally got through it, but it took some doing. The only tips I can offer are to stay low, don't expose yourself without a plan to evade, and do a lot of combat quick turns at the base to replenish Mavericks. I don't plan on ever flying it again. The third is just plain broken. After some folks here repaired the early missions, I made it to the last, but you can't finish it, as it is, as stated, broken. We have recently been informed that the 1st and the 3rd are 3rd party, and will be disposed of in the next patch. I just hope there is a replacement, and, hopefully, by whoever made the second campaign. It is a true joy, in comparison. You almost always have the F10 key available to call in some fast movers with dedicated SEAD munitions, other CAS'ers, and the missions have a good flow. Just well done. They were planning on implementing a dynamic campaign in LOMAC, but that died about 6 weeks before it went gold. It would be nice to have one here, but I would not hold my breath...

I did it publicly, during the LOMAC beta. Wags, Stormin', I and someone else went up on a 4 shipper. Laid waste, parked close for the post landing mugs shot, and Wags posted it up. Someone comments in the thread, "What happened to the one guys canopy?" Sure as shooting, `twas me... :doh:

Hit F10 and call in a dedicated SEAD flight. Or; Get ready for a ride on silken wings. Man or heavenly made, the choice is yours... :D

Well, I give up. I tried tweaking this, and messing with that, and I just cannot find whatever it is that trips the trigger for a campaign completion. With the official announcement of this and DC being dropped, I reckon it will all just go away in as a faded memory. It's a shame, as I was THIS > < close...

In the 3 years I loaded `Hogs, never did an AIR or Snakeye. As mentioned previously, retarded bombs on the A-10, A or C, is, well, retarded! :D I did load quite a few of both RET's on the F-111, which was made for the type, or vice-versa. Speed of heat, hair on fire, thumb on the pickle button, once released, beat feet. Yeah, more of an Aardvark attack profile...

As some may have noticed, I've been littering this area for months with issues getting through the campaigns. But between Eagle D., and some fine folks here, I am right on the cusp of completion, and now the whole thing culminates in a >DOINK!?!< It is "The Shore 12," according to the mission planner. The briefing page's title is "Campaign Success." What the bloody hell is that? Back to the mission planner. No flight routes, no loadouts, just the theater map zoomed all the way out, SAM circles of Blue South, and Red North. Maybe there is an auto-trigger or something in there, so I hit fly. It goes through the normal routine, I see a quick SA-10 toolbar at the bottom, and I get a Windows error, choose close program, and I get a Zero point debrief from my last mission. >DOINK!< I remember when the campaign was the game. No one here has gotten to this point yet? Not even the testers? I did a multitude of searches for Shore 12, completion, etc. Nadda. What a way to hit the end of the last campaign...

I now wish I had, as it was hard broken by the time I got around to it in 1106 & 1107. Just glad it was fixed in 1108. I even got pat the next one, and am off to fly #6 over on the game box now. Just a KVM switch away!

A range or 3 at Nellis would be a wonderful thing. Here's hoping the point scoring of such items can be figured out...

What a beautiful build, at least the grey one. When he did the odd camo for Bentwaters "WR" jet, not so much. It is a shame he augered it on landing of its maiden flight... :(

For shore! :pilotfly: Finally got through that mission after MANY attempts. In 1.1.0.8 there is the option to transmit the routes. I chose "B" as they hove into view as I was on my 2nd Northern migration. After 1:35 flying, I waited until my wingie touched down and ended it, as I had already parked and shut down. When I hit quit, I was greeted with a Win7 *dong* sound, and had to Alt+Tab to the error message concerning the C++ runtime ending abnormally, but OK'ing it brought up the usual send error requestor, then popped me back to the debrief screen where I was told my information was insufficient, scored 84, and have to fly a 4 shipper into the same area for BAI. BUT I AM PAST the dreaded Shore #4! Hopefully I am able to fly 5 in the next day or 2, and it isn't broken...

I wondered why I woke up so darned early after getting off at midnight. This would be why! Downloading now, then off to "the Shore" to see if I can finally finish the 3 campaigns. Thanks DCS d00ds!

I can't tell you how many times I hit the refresh button on the patches page over the weekend, hoping to score early-ish. No such luck...

Yeah! Rip that sucker out, we got a 3, and in my case 4, day weekend coming up! I kid, I keed. When it is ready, of course. >Promptly takes hands from keyboard, and sits on them<

So satisfyin' innit? :thumbup:

CADC failures are easily my most numerous, I'd say 10 times more frequent than any other. Needless to say, I've learned to work around them, but it is just such a PITA to do so. Adjusting percentages would rock, but shutting the bloody things off is a darned fine thing, IMHO...

I saw it, and am hopeful. But you will also note, I am not holding my breath... :D

Look in the tech support forums under campaigns, I've reported the Shore missions there, and they seem irreparable at this time. The ones you're describing are in the Georgian Hammer campaign, CowEatYou. This is a MUCH better campaign than the Shore for bugginess, and overall...

It sounds like the same sort of thing you see in some of the campaign missions. Total loss of CCIP, and now guns cursor, CCIP invalid. First I've heard of this lasing a steerrpoint. May have to give it a go if they ever fix the Shore missions.

Update to the update. It was not BAI mission Shore 07, but BAI Shore 03. Now I have it in a loop. Great. Any indication of these being worked on for the next patch?
