Mission 3 recovery question
Hillman replied to SHazmak's topic in DCS: F/A-18C Operation Mountain Breeze Campaign
Hi, Unfornatley I forgot to save a track and I disabled Tacview some time ago due to performance. Maybe time to enable it now that performance in DCS is much better in VR. Will make a track next time. -
Mission 3 recovery question
Hillman replied to SHazmak's topic in DCS: F/A-18C Operation Mountain Breeze Campaign
I had a similar problem: After taking down the Syrian Mig's, lead starts to report "SAM launched" repeatedly. Suddenly she is gone from the SA/datalink and I did not hear anymore from her or any others. I assumed she was downed and returned to the boat and contacted Marshal myself. Landed ok and then got a debrief. -
Hi Sandman, Just completed M1 and M2 and I must say this is realy excellent so far. I loved the intro sequence, music and the voiced briefings. I also like flying as #4 despite the rather eratic AI behaviour. Makes a nice change from alway being lead. The judgement from lead in M1 was quite strict, but fair. Some ideas for improvements; Would be nice if the campaign automatically detected when you tuned to the right radio freq. And also it would be nice if you could, instead of pressing spacebar, you could flip a switch. Baltic Dragon implemented both these in his latest campaigns and it is very helpeful for the imersion and flow. Looking forward to continue with the campaign. Also enjoyed your excellent Sandworm campaign btw. Keep them coming!

Hi, I talked to my optician and got the numbers for 1m focal distance and ordered lenses accordingly. This I can recommend. I also had aa lot of eye strain and headace before, but got it solved by adjusting the IPD offset in the settings. Also take a look at this video:

Take a look at M9 as well. Similar issue there. And another small thing: In the briefing on M10 only the first 5 slides are available. On the kneeboard they are available once you are onboard, but nice to have them when you read through the mission briefing as well. Completed the campaign now and I really enjoyed it. Feels very realistic and it's an exciting story-line.

I did the same (as you can read in an earlier comment). Like you say it was one module at a time so I then instead deleted most of the modules which triggered a full download of all deleted modules that took some time (a few hours?), but at least I was free to do some other stuff while waiting. Surprised that we are the only two who have had these problems. For me this only applied to aircrafts and campaigns. Terrains/maps was not a problem.
-
Tried all, but none of that helped. Thanks anyway However: In the module manager (3x3 squers) i noticed that all the campaigns were marked for download so I did download them. This solved the campaigns. The aircrafts were however not suggested for download, but when I were able to request a download on the "Modules" tab. I could then download one module at the time and it seems this is solving the issue (so far only 3 moduls downloaded) Actually I thought that this was what slow repair kind of did... I transfered my complete DCS from an older computer recently. This worked fine for version 2.9.15.9599.1 from 5th May. For the versions after that it seems something have changed in how aircraft and campaign modules are authorized forcing me to download these again. Luckily the maps authorize as before.

Hi, With both the two latest DCS versions I get authorization errors. My terrains authorize ok, but none of the aircraft's or campaigns. Version 2.9.15.9599.1 from 05.05.2025 and all previous have been ok. So far support has not been able to help so I hope someone here could maybe help. I have attached the logfile and overview of running processes. Anti/virus has been disabled for DCS folder and saved games folder. My date&clock is correct etc. I'm not using any mods at this time. Not sure what to do now... dcs.log process.txt
-
Same problem here. No solution from support so far…
-
I wonder if there is a small issue here: Base is set to be 5000 and lead gets ordered by ATC to Base + 10.000. He then flies at around 19.500. No big deal, just wondered if this is correct.
-
After sending them lot's of log-files and screenshots support came back and suggeted that I should change my password! Not sure what that should help for... Never had any issues on logging on as such. I think I stick with the prev version if I'm to get any playtime.
-
No resolution from support so far… i rolled back to the previous version and what do you know? No authorization problem!
-
I have just a few modules purchased on Steam way back. Did a "Get licenses" on the Profile page on the DCS web, but the results are the same.
-
No, direct from ED.
-
Excluded the DCS folder and the DCS saved game folder in MS Defender and did a repair (slow). Still get the same result.
-
Strange. It worked fine yesterday and why does it not affect the terrains and the supercarrier? Only the aircrafts and campaigns. And I dont run any antivirus except the built-in Windows defender...
-
Unable to authorize aircraft's and campaigns when starting DCS. Terrains are ok. Worked fine yesterday before I updated. Date/clock/timezone is correct. Anything to do with the update?

Mission 8 bug 410 goes wild
Hillman replied to Asghardhyl's topic in F/A-18C Rise of the Persian Lion Campaign
Hi Badger, I completed the ez refuel version and started on the standard version and just completed M8. So far refueling goes ok although the S-3 is challenging with the short hose. Just wanted to mention a possible/minor issue on M8: The Tacan ID given in the HUD is TB, not ABE as expected. I think I saw the same in the EZ version also. Just a minor detail anyway... -
I find the training missions for the F/A-18C to be very poor
Hillman replied to Sunbather's topic in Missions and Campaigns
Something along these lines would be greate. Could ED pickup this series and finnish it? https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3342223/ (No BIT testing but on the other hand a bit of story-mode) -
Removed all modules and have the same issue. But I'm starting to wonder if this has something to do with being in a motion-rig and having an extention on the joystick. Naturally when banking the stick will also tilt and even though I have reinforced springs on the joystick base there is a sideways pull by gravity. Funny though that I have not had any issues because of this when using CSEL followig waypoints, TACAN etc. Is the sensitivity for HSEL different from CSEL?
-
Hi, Love the module, but can we get more key-bindings and better key-bindings please? For example master arm is only a toggle while many/most? HOTAS have this as a two- or three-position switch. I hope you can add keybindings on the level as the F/A-18, F-14 etc.

Mission 13 Dialogue overlapped
Hillman replied to cm2's topic in F/A-18C Rise of the Persian Lion Campaign
Hi Badger, A minor thing on M13: When refueling (on the way back to the boat) the radio menue seems to indicate tanking with Shell (not Arco). I did not see any other tanker than Shell in the menue. (Easy refuel version). Also the altitude was 15.000, not 12.000 if I remembered correctly. No problem completing the mission though and also in this case the wingman refueld first on port as expected. (Have had some problems in other missions) -
I have exactly the same problem. Will check for any mods and test more.

Ops, I was targeting the southern Migs. It was made clear in the briefing so I don't know why I didn't look better. Thank's for quick reply and the tip! On to M10!
