Just finished the campaign. Really great work. That last mission was tough. Great use of the Predator. I'll be studying your mission scripting for sure. Thanks again for the great contribution. Also wanted to mention that great missions like this make me understand even less why we still don't have troops actually appear inside helicopters when we load them. It seems like this is long overdue in DCS. If we can have door gunners why not troops that embark and disembark?

@SpikeGondorff Great work on this campaign. Voice overs are on point. Typical banter not unlike what i remember. Great triggers and scenarios. Love the 2nd mission and the jeep chase akin to Blackhawk Down. " Single shot through the engine block", "<profanity> that's a shame that was a nice jeep!" Thanks for the work.

I'm not seeing working links on the original post for these updates?

Glad it went well. Take your time recovering. All these mods will still be here. Hope you get some relief soon.

I retract my previous comment that this issue had been corrected by rolling back Nvidia drivers. It truly seemed to be the case as I have flown several Apache missions with absolutely no white flashes but today after flying several more flash free missions the white flashing returned on the last mission of the day in the Sinai map. It was a daytime mission with no FLIR or PNVS up. It was very frequent as well. I've made no changes at all to my system since I rolled back the drivers so no clue why it suddenly started again. I also experienced a couple of other bugs playing today so it was a real winner.

For me it was white flashes. Like a blink of the eye.

I was getting this same flash in the Apache on all maps. Much worse on night missions and more frequent with the PNVS up then without. I wasn't sure if it was 2.9 because I had recently updated Nvidia drivers. When 2.9 dropped I was on Nvidia driver 537.42 with no issues or flashing. I updated to 545.92 and it started flashing. I rolled back to 537.42 drivers and its working fine again. Track attached from the initial flashing if it helps. screen flash.trk

Thanks for the info.

@Don Rudi Hope all is well. I was running your wonderful mission again in the latest version 2.9 and I noticed a strange bug. As I reached each waypoint it did not advance to the very next waypoint but skipped one . For example after reaching waypoint 1 it advanced to waypoint 3. I am not sure if this a general DCS bug or if it would be related to any of the scripting in your mission? The only downside is if I didn't notice I would go on to the next waypoint and I would miss certain triggers in your mission. Any thoughts on whether this is a mission issue with DCS 2.9 or just a general bug? Thanks.

Someone made a Livery you can use to simulate The Box in this set. It actually works very well. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3324665/

Had this problem in a mission yesterday as well. Came to a solid hover from the back seat. Trimmed and set ALT/ATT Holds and still solid. Switched to the CPG seat and it started oscillating left and right persistently. Never settled down but never failed or crashed either just rocking. I saw that issues with ATT holds have already been reported so I didn't save a track. It was intermittent as well. Did another mission and hover was solid in both seats.

Has anybody already done any testing with 2.9? This and TAZ tree updates are my favorite Mods and hope they are still compatible and relevant.

Any update to this soon? Very frustrating to finish a mission with a good landing on fire. Thanks.

This bug with George not engaging after first time is still not fixed even though 07/24/2023 update says it is. It happened to me twice today. I had to jump to front seat and reset acquisition to PHS to correct.

Here is my try @Admiral189 Thanks as always for the great mods.

Good suggestion. Also was able now with 7z but also errors. Thanks.

Anyone else having trouble with this download? File downloads fine but will not extract. null null

@Don Rudi I see your comment about disappointing downloads of this mission on the ED files site. I can assure you the mission is extraordinary and I suspect it is just that the crowds are not focused on the Apache right now. Everyone is flying the F-15E and the majority of new file uploads are related to that. I will spread the word all I can about your work. Extremely satisfying to play your missions. Cheers!

Just tested and worked great. The only issue I found was with Apache. FPS was fine landing with Apache on majority of deck but if you got close to the ends near the walls it dropped like before. With the Huey it was fine all over the deck. No idea why the Apache would be different but in reality its perfectly fine for using the Mod so I wouldn't sweat it. Excellent work. Thank you.

That's outstanding. I know you have been working incredibly hard on this. Thanks for all your efforts.

That is very interesting. I have been working on this with Admiral189 for a few days now testing. All the ships I mentioned have a big FPS drop only when you are on or over the deck. My normal frame rates of 100+ drop to single digits or low teens. I can hover all around the ship and above them around 40 feet with no problems but as soon as I try to land and get low to deck it drops. I'm on an i7 12700K 64gb Ram and a 3090. Same resolution as you. Many of his other ships are perfectly fine. I see you shared your other settings with him so hopefully he can narrow down the issue. Thanks for your responses.

I know absolutely nothing about coding but I feel smarter having read this response. Very interesting thought that make sense to me but again I know nothing.

May I ask if you have tried on any of these ships? Lewis Pullman Blue Ridge San Antonio Oak Hill And what resolution are you running? Thanks.

@Tengah Are you actually landing or taking off from the ships with helicopters? That is where I am seeing the FPS issues. Just adding the mods to game works fine.

@Don Rudi I discovered your mission in the user files a couple of days ago and I must say i think its superb. The voice overs are excellent and the graphic novel story line is beautiful. Do you do the graphics yourself? Excellent work. I have played it through a few times now and enjoyed it just as much each time.
