Thanks to all for your suggestions. I did try creating a mark point using the radar, but range is a little hard to figure. I'll fiddle with offset points. Thanks again.

I recently played a Gamblers campaign mission, whereby the wingman indicated targets at XX miles (east, west, north, or south) from waypoint XX. I had difficulty finding them in a timely manner and then thought "I'll try it again by marking the general area using the HSD. No Joy, can't do that. So, my question is why not? You can create mark points thru nearly any other sensor. Is this unavailable in the real F16 or a DCS omission? It just seems like a logical implementation in true life and the sim.

It was F16, Nevada and Caucasus. Thanks for asking.

@ex81... I'm here now... I think not showing up would take more than a few days? Sorry if I don't check the forums every hour or day. IMHO you are the only rude one here. All I can say is I tried entering the Coords on a couple of different maps and missions and every time the last 5 digits ended with 00000. Just tried again and for whatever reason, it seems to be taking the data now. Consider the solution solved. Perhaps yesterday's patch fixed it, or more likely, user error on my behalf. I did test myself by trying numerous times to get it to work as expected. My apology for the erroneous post.

It seems that MGRS coordinates are not currently working? The last five digits always result with 00000, even after entering the required 10 digits.

@Baltic Dragon: Much appreciate your honesty here. Had I read this thread first, I would have withheld my other comments in a few other threads concerning this issue. That said, I still have some disdain for purchasing a broken campaign (I bought it about 5 days ago thru steam). IMO the link to purchase should be taken down or at least place notice that it is currently broken. Thank you for your efforts in design and I do hope this is remedied, as it appears to have well-planned and detailed missions.

Hope you are right about the fix, because it seems I just bought a broken campaign last week.

I suppose the same is happening here. Tried Mission 6 and no AI planes will taxi or take off. Guess I wasted money on this one.

Same here.. First thought it was a radio/comms issue on my part. Tried numerous times and no AI taxied. The tower and flight confirms 'ready to taxi but nothing happens. Just bought this campaign and not a happy camper!

Does having external lighting on, or off, have any effect on the AI's capability to detect you? I've wondered for a long time if anyone has tested this or can confirm if aircraft lighting is modeled or do the settings make a difference in detection.

As of last week, when I use runway start the INS is misaligned. I never had this issue before. My apology to the realists, but I prefer not to do a full startup everytime I hop into the pit. Is there a setting to avoid this? Thanks in advance!

Start in MT Preview, that worked for me. Thanks to Rudel for the fix!

Thanks Rudel,

Just tried... no joy!

Seems like since the last update (or two) the whole map has a blue background. It all looks like ocean, even when over land. BTW, this is a steam version.

Posted elswhere, so will try here too.... The F-16 Campaign will load but loading individual missions result with immediate return to debrief screen. Log file is attached. dcs.log

Verification done, new logbook created... still the same. The individual missions will not load, but campaign will. I even tried skipping all campaign missions to completion... to no avail. Attached is the newest log file dcs.log

Haven't tried a repair, but can report Red flag in campaign mode seems to load... just not individual missions. I'm using Steam Beta versions and reloaded DCS with a 'non-beta'... made no difference.

@AdrianL.... just tried your suggestion, but the same result. Thanks for your effort!

Attached is the log. All other missions load as expected, but loading Red Flag missions results in a return to the debrief screen. dcs.log

Sorry to repeat, but loading Red Flag Missions results in a return to the debrief screen.

Yes, pretty much AFAIK. Inside Winwing's 'Sim App', there is an option to set some buttons to either 'axis' or set as a simple 'button'. Although you would think setting up the Mav 'Weapon' page in an axis mode would be ideal, the simple 'button' mode' provided the best slewing for me by far.

As many others have already stated... Kudos to you for creating this package of quick scenarios. Thus far I've done only a handful but have found them all to be useful and very enjoyable. It's great to jump into the pit to complete the missions without spending the time to set up, takeoff, taxi, etc. If anyone is looking for training and/or fun, this download is very worthwhile. As an example... the landing mission 'Dashing thru the Snow' mission... a little challenging, yet concise and fun at the same time. In addition, much appreciate you taking the time to describe detailed mission parameters in the mission briefing. Many of the missions I've downloaded fail to include any detail in that regard.

I find it difficult to discern my flight's waypoints in the ME. Usually, many other flight's waypoints are overlayed on top of each other, making it hard to see the 'yellow' highlighted waypoints as you advance them. Also, (like Falcon 4.0) it would be nice to show the distance between each waypoint. Can we have a filter in the ME to show only the selected unit's waypoints?

I oftentimes have difficulty seeing/following waypoints in the Mission Editor. With so many numerous flight waypoints laid on top of each other, it makes it difficult to follow a specific unit's waypoints, obscuring the 'yellow' highlighted waypoint selected. Is there a way to filter a single flight to show only those waypoints? Also... it would be a nice feature (as the old Falcon 4.0 did) to show distances between waypoints. Yes, the ruler can be used, but why make us work that hard?!!
