Oh, OK that makes sense!

Ok…not the most serious bug ever but it’s an immersion/quality thing that I’m sure can be easily fixed. So, I just finished the first mission (CAP). My wingman got shot down. I was sad watching his F-4 auger in on fire. Imagine my surprise and joy when I heard his ghost talking to me on the radio as if he was flying beside me. Talking about how I had 4 kills and such. Just a regular scripted conversation with my wingman - who had been shot down. Lol like I said, no biggie but affects realism on another note, I usually prefer the more Milsim campaigns. That said, how could I miss the chance to fly the Phantom in a “Cold War gone hot” campaign? Only flown one mission but I enjoyed it. It’s not trying to be hard core/super realistic and was fun! and I really enjoyed the comms from the other flights up and about. Made it seem more alive. So, thank you for making this (although I will admit that when I first saw the campaign, I was really hoping it was for the Germany map. Maybe a sequel where the Luftwaffe return home after counterattack and are now on the offensive)

Title says it all. It currently is not but am I correct that it soon will be? Often the case but I REALLY want to play this

Nineline….thanks for the tip on cold starts!

Is there any way to add options for a cold start so we can practice starting the aircrsrt and systems as well as flying to the target? Also, can we NOT have the mission automatically end after the target is destroyed so we can work on landing to? I mean, I get why people want an instant mission generator but at least we could have the option of cold start and landing to practice within the generated engine

Glad you figured it out. I was going to say that years ago I had a similar issue with LGBs landing all over. Turned out it was the map…I had never deleted the contents of my FXO (and whatever the other one is) file like you should after each patch. Doing so did the trick

I have the same issue. My McAfee is long expired since I never use my PC to browse internet. So I’m guessing I have just windows defender. Can someone tell me how to “add DCS as an exception”? I’m not too good with this stuff

Thank you Reflected! I can’t take advantage of the Chief start up b/c I have, at most, 2 hours to play and I hate accelerating time in the air. But wow…great missions AND- an under valued quality- the triggers all seem to work and/or there are backups. Either way, I don’t feel like I’m “on rails” like I do when playing a campaign, not doing something exactly like I’m the designer wants and the mission won’t advance. I feel like I’m free to fly the mission how I want WITHIN the parameters of the mission briefing lastly, THANK YOU for adding AAR during ingress (or shortly after takeoff) for some missions. AAR is a very realistic requirement in modern air missions and adds a lot of immersion. I enjoy hitting the tanker on the way to the target as they do in real life. Not so much when the mission is over, I’m on the way home, dinner is almost ready in real life and wife is bugging me about finishing up. (Again, limited time).

If 4 years ago you would have told me that my 1TB SSD wouldn’t have enough storage space for ONE game, I’d think you were crazy. Yet I find that I have to uninstall a few modules, campaigns I am not currently playing and maps I own. In fact, now that I’m playing 2 campaigns and a retribution campaign on KOLA, the only other maps I can keep are Syria and ONE other (Sinai, PG, SA, etc). Any more than that, I only have like 150GB free and that has caused problems with big patch downloads. not a big deal swapping maps out I suppose. But i think the only real solution is to upgrade to a 4TB. Hell, I’d fill out a 2TB

Oh….you may see them…but like the A-7 and A-6 in last years video, it doesn’t mean you will see the actual modules anytime in the next 3 years. Been waiting 5 years for the A-7 (since it was announced)

I did miss that. Thank you

Yeah. I did that. I just enjoy completing missions with a return to base and a landing using proper procedures. like I said, it’s not a bug. It’s just that I can foresee times when due to a mistake, jettisoning ordinance to avoid a missle, low fuel, aircraft damage or a missed trigger (for whatever reason), I am unable to do what the JTAC/controller is asking me to do l. so i thought an “I can’t comply wincester”, “I can’t comply fuel” or “unable. Next task” might be a way to “force” the scenario scripting to move forward. It’s certainly not unrealistic. But, it’s up to BD. Either way I’m still playing. really enjoying this.

Ok. To clarify, I’m not suggesting that there is something wrong with the mission; that’s why I didn’t post in Bugs. I’m simply asking for an F-10 option declaring wincester or needing fuel as a way to “bypass” the scripts in cases like this (where I not only lack the weapons but am running out of fuel. i understand that with heavy scripting, it’s impossible to foresee every stupid thing the player does. But, I think it is perfectly forseeable that in a given scenario, a player may find himself unable to complete the assigned task due to not having the ordinance, being low on fuel, damaged aircraft, etc. I think it’s both reasonable and realistic to have a way of notifying be controller (the mission scripting in our case) that you aren’t able to complete the mission so it can move on to the next one, order you back home or order you to hit the tanker based on the F-10 message. On this occasion, I conducted 3 strafing runs taking out both vehicles snd heavily damaging the house….yet even after that, nothing happened so I flew back to base. It’s not the end of the world and I can replay it….jusy a recommendation for a way to deal with player mistakes or problems that interfer with the scripting

This isn Really a bug so I posted here So, I mistakenly dropped by MK-20 rockeye on the convoy failing to realize that my wingman was supposed to drop HIS. So now I’m wincester. I get a call about new tasking, switch over and my guy informs the controller that my flight only has 20mm (pretty sure…although he may have also said mk-20)The controller then tasks me with taking out a house and vehicles by a lake. Problem is that my pilot tells my wingman that I will drop my MK-20 and then he should strafe. Well…I don’t HAVE a mk-20. So despite my best efforts of strafing myself, the mission never advanced. Everyone on the Kola peninsula just waiting for me to drop a rockeye I don’t have. Also, I was down to 2900lbs of fuel can we please get an F-10 option to declare “wincester” and advance the mission. Also, a “I’m bingo” or something that will trigger the boss to order me to go refuel?

I had that same issue when the campaign first came out so shouldn’t be anything new. Mission 1 (or whatever the one is where you bomb the Syrian HQ in Damascus) my wingman can’t get out of his parking space without hitting the revetment wall and blowing up. I have NOT tried this hot fix yet but that did occur after the last Dec 24 patch I believe. ill give this hotfix a shot. BTW, I’m really hoping this mini campaign gets made into a full campaign. Between the mig-21, F-4 and Syria/Sinai maps, the game is begging for a full Yom Kippur campaign (id prefer Sinai theater but beggars and choosers and all that
