I'm about half way through OCN and loving it, just as I did with Kerman. You really understand how to make compelling campaigns that have a good mix of challenges and complexity and unrivalled immersion imo. I'm learning so much about correct procedures etc, but can still complete/enjoy missions as I go - with all the mistakes I make along the way. Find myself rationing playing OCN to make it last!

Fixed Base of Operation (FBO) Mission
Solemn-laugh replied to sigmet's topic in User Created Missions General
Just wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU. Loving your FBO series of missions. Great way to improve skills, learn planes and have fun. One thing - I can never seem to get the tanker in refuel training to acknowledge 'intent to refuel'. Is this broken or is it me? I request refuel after spawning and it doesn't extend basket. Distance from tanker makes no difference either? Thank you -
Not sure if this is an error introduced in updated Syriah map, but the coordinates given for the VIP target appear to be for an unpopulated area just outside the target's town? I changed WP 4 to be the target coordinates. Then set WP 4 as target in flir. It shows as correct coordinates in FLIR but it is an unpopulated area? Is this an error or my mistake again? Thanks Has anyone played Mission 5 since latest map update - does it work for you? Thanks

Performance in VR. Are they testing?
Solemn-laugh replied to YoYo's topic in Orbx Simulation Systems
Yes. I also hope it works well in VR. Will also wait and see. -
Hahaha! That's so funny. It said turn left and then left so thought I was heading correct way. Plus, as you say, flight lead was taking off from that end. What convinced me I was going in correct direction (should have read runway number) was that I was stuck behind the slow-moving taxiway vehicle - which I assumed was there to guide me. Looking forward to taking off! If this is even close to as good as the Kerman campaign I'm going to love it. Thanks for your help, Have a great rest of your week,

I can confirm all the above criteria are met. I have repeated the first part of the mission three or four times with the same result. I'm using MT DCS version if that makes any difference. If you are, then agree it must be something my end. I did complete the Kerman campaign and all was good, so I am familiar with the triggers / conditions / radio etc (I know F18 needs enter on UFC unlike Harrier). Thanks for your help. I'm away from my PC for a week so will pick this up later with track files etc. Sure I'm missing something obvious – so look forward to taking off soon! Thanks, Have a good week.

Thanks for your help. Re mission 1 1) Autostart - now works (think it was something to do with throttle not being fully off). 2) comms menu - these were mapped in comms panel section not HOTAS. Comms menu now visible in flight (thanks). 3) F10 campaign-specific menu - not triggering as intended. I hold short of runway 05. Given instruction to contact tower. Set correct channel on comm 2. Enter. No F10 menu so unable to request takeoff permission. (See uploaded screens). Thanks.

Hi, just purchased this after loving the Kerman campaign for the Harrier. Stuck on mission 1. Use Autostart and it fails (right engine parameter). Autostart works fine on the instant action cold and dark mission. f10 menu disappears after requesting engine start. Have tried both easy comms on and off. Kerman campaign worked flawlessly. Not sure what's going on? help appreciated - would love to use this campaign.

[FIXED] Part of HUD always at full brightness
Solemn-laugh replied to arneh's topic in Problems and Bugs
+1 VR -
Seems to be working in a test mission I made. Will try again - must be user error?! Thanks

Loving the campaign so far. One thing - laser mavs often don’t search, lock or fire. Sometimes the first mav is ok (I see the X in hud. Uncage. It sweeps and locks on to laser lighting target). often the second mav doesn’t work - there is no X in hud. I’ve tried switching weapons and going back to mavs. Tried going to nav mode then back to A2G. Laser off then back on. Can’t work out what’s going on. Often have to give up using mavs. anyone else experience this? Not sure if this is a DCS bug or related to missions? Thanks.

The more I learn, the more I realise I have to learn . Thanks all for the insights.

Been playing DCS for four years or so. The Kerman Campaign is the most immersive experience I’ve had. Only played the first two missions so far but it’s brilliant. Really feels alive. I love the way there are procedures to follow but that they’re not punitive. Great way to learn. Hope I can keep up as things ramp up! Great work. Makes me love the harrier even more!

OpenXR Motion Reprojection 'Always On' Crash on 2.8.2.35759 Open Beta
Solemn-laugh replied to Munkwolf's topic in Game Crash
@BIGNEWYI can confirm that the hotfix has not resolved the motion reprojection error dcs.log -
I know there have been issues with openXR, but I just wanted to say thanks to ED for adding this to DCS. For me, it makes DCS just about playable (enjoyably) in VR vs not. I was using open composite and it made a huge difference.
