I presume you're following the speed guidance on HUD - and that's been reported as a bug already. That's why your AoA is too high. 260 is a good speed on final approach, as Kuky said.

One word - beta.

If you're using Chrome try another browser, DCS website has never worked properly with Chrome.

Your loss. Throwing the baby out with the water and all that...

I have managed to pass it once (somehow) and the campaign crashed (GUI crashed after the mission). I don't have a clue what I did :).

You have to change Shkval's gate size, and than it works without a hitch. For combat helicopters try and A-10/Su-25 type targets try 15-18 meters, larger airplanes - look up their wingspan and use that. I've shot down a few Mi-24s and AH-64s in Su-25T campaign with Vikhrs, they're especially vulnerable when hovering. When you spot a helicopter, try and move 10km away from it, turn back at the area you spotted him, and aim Shkval there and stabilize. When you spot him, move the Shkval gate (which you've previously changed to the target's size) over him, lock and let him have it... If you don't spot him before you're 5km away, turn 180, rinse and repeat.

Same issues exist with F-15C, MiG-29S and Su-25T campaign (at some point or another), check the main bug thread. Apparently, should be fixed in the latest internal build.

Here's to hoping we get the latest build soon then :). Thanks for the info!

MiG-29S campaign: -tried two missions so far, both crash the editor when I try to open them. -second mission has the same issue as reported with the first F-15C campaign mission and ATO C.P7.4 mission from Su-25T campaign. I assume it has something to do with the campaign design, as it always happens when I win the mission and should proceed with the campaign.

Affirmative. I'll try other imported campaigns and report findings.

Does this also concern the FC3 campaign missions? Because for the F-15C campaign at least me and another guy can't proceed further than the first mission (crashes GUI on exit, no record of the mission). More info here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=97971 It also hapenned with one other mission in Su-25T campaign, common characteristics are: - mission finished, I land, hit quit - GUI starts loading, reaches 96% and crashes to desktop - no crash log is generated I assume, though I'm not sure, that this is connected with porting the campaigns over from FC2, so might affect all the newly imported campaigns at some point - I couldn't test them all as I am in general very short on time. BTW, I "fixed" the Su-25T mission by removing the tasking from my flight and re-tasking with a different task (which did approximately the same as the original).

Tried the first mission from F-15C campaign - same thing. Tried re-assigning tasks and commands to all aircraft/vehicles - same. The way I fixed the Su-25T mission I started this whole thing with (in the end) was that I assigned my AI wingman a different task. BTW, never had problems with the instant action F-15C mission.

WTG gentlemen - looks awesome!

So far, seems that clients get no lock or launch warning from any launch platform (SAM, airborne, ship). Seems to me it's not a particular, but a general problem.

Solved my issue by opening the mission in the editor and saving it again. It still exhibits one strange quirk (I'm supposed to take off from the field, but start 500 meters above the runway).

That's easy - it's defined separately for every airfield, and of course used only on visual approaches. Translated to FC3 it means you choose whatever you're comfortable with. For fast jets 2000ft AGL is about right for me.

Same goes for F-15C RWR, we've had a fairly intense session against multiple AI MiGs and Sukhois yesterday and I've had dozens of missiles launched against me, not once did I even get a locked signal from RWR, let alone a missile launch warning. Same for other clients, but host did get missile launch warnings. I can justify that for ET/T but approximately a half of the missiles were ER. RWR did display AMRAAM "mad dogs", though. Also a quick question - is AMRAAM capable of some rudimentary IFF in "mad dog" mode? Also, can anyone provide some details on how HOJ is actually not functioning? I know I can't get a hit in HOJ for the life of me, but I thought it was just me being incompetent :D.

- What were you doing just before - or trying to do when the problem happened? Exiting the mission ATO C.P7.4 in Su-25T campaign. - What happened? Land, finished the mission, close the DCSW, GUI starts loading, hits 96% and crashes to desktop - tried it about 5 times, always the same. I have been flying this campaign for some time now, never had this happen in any of the missions (and haven't had a CTD with DCSW in single player since .7286 otherwise). And there's no crash log generated.

Buks don't shoot down ARMs, but Tunguskas do, IIRC there are some Tunguskas at Buk sites in that mission.

I'm not talking about right now, and I'm not talking about everyone, and I'm not talking about "use Linux or die". Sorry if that wasn't clear.

@EtherealN - current gaming stats be what they may - the simple fact is that sales of desktops are in decline globally, and notebooks have just reached a plateau last year. Installed base of all PCs globally is probably around 1 billion and will decrease. Current gaming consoles are at 250 million or so installed base, by far the largest IB of all console generations - let's see what happens next. But the IB of smartphones, tablets and similar devices is at least 1.4 billion, and growing - and that's where M$ is going with Windows 8. More control, more mobility features, desktop as an afterthought. That's why Gabe Newell is hedging his bets, along with his distaste for Windows App Store or whatever this may be called. I'm just saying that looking into a possibility of a Linux port is reasonable, nothing more, nothing less. @ALDEGA I'm more referring to people who have bought a Vista or a Win 7 32bit system, and are now forced to pay for a 64bit Windows. It's an additional cost with very little value - except being able to properly enjoy DCS which they've paid for already. Granted, this probably isn't a case with many people.

Just a couple of points: 1. Steam on Linux is an extension of Valve's position that Windows 8 is death to PC gaming. See more here: http://www.forbes.com/sites/erikkain/2012/07/26/windows-8-is-a-catastrophe-according-to-gabe-newell-valve-hedging-with-steam-on-linux/ 2. Market-wise, gaming on PCs, and even consoles, is in decline. The way consoles took the market from PCs, the same way smartphones and tablets are taking it away from consoles. Ouya BTW is Android - basically guts of a smartphone/tablet, plus peripherals and better rendering ( ) 3. Long term, all developers that can't port to tablets and phones, should look at Linux - simply because Windows and Mac OS/iOS are much more focused on tablet and phone markets, and will neglect (or already are neglecting) desktop/workstation (or even full sized notebooks) as a platform. Long term, in my industry parlance, is five years let's say. 4. What does it mean for ED? With their long development cycles, they should look at the possibilities of a Linux port. 5. Due to its lack of IP burden, and lack of commercial interests driving the development, Linux can accommodate much better to what an application such as DCSW requires, not vice versa. This is a much better situation to be in, both for a developer, or a user. If ED finds a distro that works for them, it requires no investment on the client side to install it or run it. Compare it with the current situation - if you want to run DCSW properly you need 64-bit Win 7. For some people those 100 or so US$ is a bit of an obstacle I'd say. 0 US$ for Ubuntu is no obstacle at all.

I also notice that FARPs in a Su-25T campaign always pop up as an enemy target, even though they're assigned to the Russian side, appear red on the map, etc...

There is actually an open source TrackIR driver/software for Linux (it's not made especially for TrackIR, works with most cameras, but apparently works with TrackIR too). Here's the link (BTW, I haven't used it myself):http://code.google.com/p/linux-track/

Next you get to Lt. Col, and get to fly the desk :D, i.e. all modules are de-activated and deleted, and you get a new DCS: Solitaire module.
