Same issue, no incoming messages - on screen just '.' is shown.

Hi, any news about the upcoming campaign?

Yeah, night lighting is terrible in DCS, but I was able to finish tanking after a dozen of attempts with max gamma at 3.5 in VR, but later I was shoot down so I hesitate to repeat tanking again. BTW trying to stay in formation fully in darkens with only stars visible is very surreal experience - feels like flying a space ship

In mission 8 (4 vs 4) - after getting ATC clearance to taxi - lead F-14 just won't move. DCS is latest open beta with no mods.

Thanks, and what is the difference between 'tactical spread' and 'combat spread' then?

What does it mean to "Take tac on left/right wing"? - Which formation type?

Hi Armen, any news about your new Mi-24 Campaign?

Sure, but this issue is not very well documented in F-14 manual, so I just suggest to add some comment to this checklist item, like - ACM GUARD should be DOWN for BVR AIM-54 launches! Cause for anybody not well familiar with this issue, flying to the training zone takes a lot of time, and after that you listen to fence-in checklist, flip ACM guard up, and then launch AIM-54 and it doesn't track - feels very confusing and frustrating.

What do you mean by the system - Jester or flight computer auto chaff mode? Anyway I don't like to rely on some system and want to release chaffs myself.

Hi BD, any updates on the overhaul?

Hello Virpils, Just want to share some useful things about F-14, which are not obvious after reading manual / guides, and could reduce learning time for new players: * Disable Jester auto switch from PD-STT to P-STT (this switch could produce STT lock lost!) * TWS targets filtering - RIO can assign MAND ATTK & NOT ATTK for selected track on TID using CAP also with Data Link enabled you can see 2 HAFU symbols on TID (upper for your own radar and lower for DL) but unfortunately WCS doesn't recognize Friendly targets from DL, so unless Jester or RIO marks a target track as Friendly, even if DL shows it as Friendly, TWS can add this target to priority list for shooting with AIM-54, so with small cluttered TID repeater display in pilot cockpit and in a harry to launch your missiles, you could overlook that a Friendly DL target is still marked as upper Unknown and shoot it! * ACM cover up - AIM-54 is launched active, thus NO tracking TWS & STT targets at long range!!! * TCS slaved to Radar - when TCS is in any AUTO mode, TCS lock will stay on the last locked target, until lock is lost due target leaving TCS gimbal limits or unlocked by RIO using HCU half action in TCS HCU mode, so in order for TCS to always point to the STT locked target - use TCS MANUAL mode (in this mode TCS won't lock a target, but always will point to STT locked target or ADL if no STT lock) * CMS Jester Flare Mode - PILOT: DLC button releases flare, NORMAL: DLC button releases chaff * Climb profile MIL power: just keep 5 units AOA * Climb profile AFB: climb with 0.9 IMN until 30kft, then level and accelerate to 1.4 IMN at 30kft, then climb with 1.4 IMN * Cruise: keep 8.5 units AOA * Radar/Visual FIX on ST (surface target) point will just update its coordinates without any changes to INS * Radar in Pulse Search mode can be used for ground mapping and looking for ships

It would be very useful to add Jester commands for Flare Mode: Pilot & Normal to switch between pilot controlled Flares & Chaffs. Cause toggling this using jester menu in 3 clicks, when a missile is coming at you, is slow & annoying.

Yeah, this ACM cover is very confusing with AIM-54, if you leave it up and try to launch in both TWS & STT not in WVR range, the missile won't track and it's just a waste With AIM-7 it works ok, cause WCS switches to NORM missile mode when you lock a target, and to BRST mode without a lock.

Excellent! This is the best ever helicopter campaign in DCS, remastering using BS3 is very welcome, please leave music as it was in the original one.

Hi Armen, are there any new campaigns coming soon or planned for this year?

Hi Chef98, thank you a lot for your work on this campaign, I've played 3 missions so far and really enjoyed it. 1) I think there is a few bugs in the mission #3 (tanks defense) after checkpoint reloaded: nav. points are wrong and after RTB to Damascus mission won't finish with success. 2) Also could you please add some option to turn on aircraft labels - it is nearly impossible to fight in VR without labels. 3) It would be nice to have information in briefings for ATC contacts (like on which channel to switch for takeoff/landing comm.)

+1, wingman is stuck at taxi, unplayable

Thanks, there was already an option in F10 radio menu to progress to the next mission, which I used. And BTW ED has recently added a new feature to skip/replay any mission on campaign screen - quite handy. Just wanted to let you know about this issue. I will try to replay this mission again after next Beta update.

Hi Guys, it seems that this problem reappeared again in the latest 2.7.6 open beta, I'm stuck at the same place near the first bridge after inspection and my gunner just don't want to get back inside.
