No worries there, I feel the collective Creator's pain on that front. Hope to see Storm Front in a surprise drop someday soon! Do you think ED might be open to a third-party campaign testing and verification service as an alternative pathway given their capacity-limits lately?

@CHPL the update apparently resolved the issue, Mission 1 now proceeds perfectly without use of the F10 menu. Thank you! (DCS World 2.9.4.53707 MT)

@CHPL I'm traveling now, but I'll update, fly, and report when I return next week.

Thanks @CHPL. Tried it again, with the same result. This time I used the F10 menu when WOLF 1 hovers at waypoint 2: "Follow WULF 1 and give cover" and received the reply "Sorry, Frank, we have to wait for WOLF-1 – close the Throttle to idle, it saves fuel and its more relaxing." I tried "ABOARD MISSION AND PROCEED TO MISSION 2" and that just ends the mission. There were no other F10 options besides tuning the radio. No mods, in fact this is a fresh Windows and DCS install due to some issues with a previous Pimax install. No worries, I'll move onto the next mission tomorrow, appreciate your work.

Mission 1 worked for me until the first power station (Waypoint 2) inspection. I stayed on station for 1 hour 17 minutes, the first half of which Wolf 1 just hovered in HIGE, then landed and shut down for inspection. I refueled at Batumi, then returned to Waypoint 2 to check on Wolf 1, by which time he had slid all the way to the water's edge. Tried landing, etc, to trigger the next stage, but no luck. Proceeded to Waypoint 3, circled but no trigger, on to Waypoint 4 and the story began to proceed again. Wolf 1 never showed up to trigger a departure, so I eventually departed Waypoint 4, went back to check on him again at Waypoint 2. Still there. Went onto land at Waypoint 5, then back to Batumi without any radio traffic since departing 4. Tacview attached. Tacview-20240407-220038-DCS-WORLDS APART Mission 1.zip.acmi

This isn't an installation issue but seems like the best place to mention it. The instructions when one purchases additional modules still has the pre-unified versions language: Bought products can be downloaded and installed through the DCS World Module Manager (FAQ). If you do not have DCS World installed, you can download the DCS World web-installer by clicking this link. If the product description does not have information about which DCS World version you should install, you need to have the "Open Beta" or the "Stable" version of DCS World installed on your PC. For any questions please read the FAQ.

I've flown Mission 2 three times (all with UH-1H), each time get all the way back to the initial point. I am promised a decontamination shower, I land and nothing happens. I relocated several times to try to get a mission complete trigger, but nothing happens. When I exit the mission, I have 50 points and a draw. DCS 2.9.3.51704

I concur with @escanner, this was a really well done campaign. The diversity of the missions, and the intimacy of the helicopters with the landscape, really felt immersive. So many campaigns it's the same mission ten times. This was not that. At all. Thank you!

I've had Normandy since it was released, but for some reason DCS World (2.9.2.49940 Open Beta MT) is today notifying me that Normandy 2 is available to install. When I click okay and it proceeds with the usual exit and install, it results in an "Unknown module NORMANDY_terrain_new" error. Tested it by flying through Paris at 100 feet, and it's definitely Normandy 2, so not sure what is going on. Log says:

which arguments in SmokeMarker.lua should be edited to reduce volume and/or increase translucence on smoke markers?

would you mind reposting a link to this? Trying to figure out the smokemarker.lua so that it doesn't obscure landing zones completely.

is there a way to adjust the density of marker smoke used to identify LZs? I tried the "chimney smoke" setting, but that has no effect. Just flew Mission 01, and the smoke eliminates visibility of much of the LZ, in fact all of the flat part of Berlin. Totally not important comment on Mission 01 Resupply, Mac mentions that this is the start of the wet season, but November is actually the end of the wet season in the Marianas.

Not sure why, but I keep failing this mission (5x times now) immediately when I eliminate the final vehicle in the northern convoy. The tasking said that "they must not reach the town or they may take hostages," and then the mission failure message is "Now we're going to have hostages!" This occurs even if you eliminate the eastern convoy (which is tasked to Uzi) before attacking the northern convoy. Always when the last northern vehicle is destroyed.

Rotorwash should be the least of your concerns if you lose the main rotor... but nonetheless, just pointing out that it does continue to appear in DCS. See track and photo below. I'm not positive, but I think there is still some lift being generated (in DCS) after the rotor is knocked off, or at least the helicopter doesn't feel like it is accelerating toward earth as quickly as I would expect if the main rotor is lost. Example is UH-1H, I have not tested others. DCS 2.9.2.49940 Open Beta rotorwash.trk

Attaching instructions on replacement of button 15 that Thrustmaster sent me under warranty. Hopefully this helps someone else. The other part that they sent me it was a "good luck" we have no instructions for that one... ugh. 5090099_WarthogThrottle_ExchangeREDButton.pdf
