Hi Glyn, Just confirming I had the same issue on mission one. I think I hit one SU25 with about 8 bursts and although those Frogfoots are like old Russian tanks I thought that something was wrong. I did some forum searching and found this post. Sounds like you are across the issue and and have changed it. Thanks for looking into fixing it and I look forward to playing the rest of the campaign hopefully after the next DCS update. Cheers

ISP Blocking DCS Updater??? Hi, I live in australia and im with Optus (changed over to NBN a month ago). Im having very simialr problems as I have tried several times to update DCS World. I seem to get the following issues: 1. It starts to download the updater file, then just stops, or 2. Get the message 'Servers are unable to complete your request. Please try again later." but it nevers seems to work. See attachments for screenshots. I tried updating just after xmas, and then today (2 weeks later) and still the same issue. If anyone has any suggestions I'd welcome your thoughts on the issue. Cheers beniboy

download servers Im having trouble updating the DCS Updater 2.9.12.8. It just stops and never finishes - see attached image. Im in Australia, is anyone else having this problem or know a solution? I have already tried the DCS repair, but the same issue occurs as it can never finish downloading the new installer file. Perhaps an alternative way to download?? Cheers autoupdate_log.txt

My deepest sympathies. RIP to a man who has left a remarkable legacy.

Hi everyone. Thanks for the great feedback, it certainly has made it worthwhile. Sorry for the absence online as my wife and i had our first child. Yep that will steal 99% of your spare-time. For those who asked, I managed to pull the information together for the Keyboard maps from many various sources. Now that a few have asked my happy to update them if someone would like to comment on the pdf then email or PM me. Thanks again to all. beniboy

Hi all, I have created some keyboard maps for all to use. The keyboard maps also have additional information on weapons, airborne radars, ground threats and airports. They are designed to be printed on A3 sized paper. Current list includes A-10C F-15C KA-50 Su-25T Su 27 & 33 Let me know if you like them and also if you have suggested improvements. Also im happy to create more keyboard maps based on popular requests. Use at your leisure, enjoy. :book: beniboy beniboy's DCS A-10C keyboard map and info v3.pdf beniboy's DCS F-15C keyboard map and info v3.pdf beniboy's DCS KA-50 keyboard map and info v3.pdf beniboy's DCS SU-25T keyboard map and info v3.pdf beniboy's DCS SU-27 & 33 keyboard map and info v3.pdf

Hey silentbob11, Yeah I have had the same issue with this mission. I have not got past it yet too. I see the main problem is my own F15C wingmen start going after ground targets sometimes (I dont know what weapon they intend to use though as they are only loaded with air-to-air weapons), or they individually go chasing a pair of MIG29/SU27's and either get shot down by an SA10 or SA11 or an opposing Aircraft. Regardless it never ends well for my flight. The other thing is my flight dont want join up formation when im trying to escape back south for 10nm or so before coming back around for another pass to the north as a flight package again going head-to-head with opposing aircraft as the F15C's seem to be able to get a shot off first most of the time. Ive even tried loading 8xAIM120C/B on my entire flight (not loading the AIM-9's) and even when im lucky to down 6 other planes, heaps of other Russian attack planes just keep taking-off replenishing their numbers. I tried to hold back the strike packages for as long as possible to reduce the Russian fighter numbers first but the strike package eventually head towards the target themselves, which is to be expected as they cant wait around all-day. But dont get me started on how useless the strike package is at dogfighting, they just seem fixated on their ground targets and not see the Russian fighters closing in on them. Even if I get shot down I usually watch the (F2 view) and the strike packages seem to want to head to the target at low altitude and just forget about the MIG29/SU27's flanking them every time. Oh well, maybe this mission was meant to be tough, it sure is, and I shouldnt be too critical as it still a Beta. I wonder if ED will make any changes to this mission for the final release. Apart from the unusal AI, i am absolutely loving FC3 so far. It is nice to fly a fast jet and do purely dogfighting missions (even though it is a SFM). I loved the A10C but it is nice for a change too. If anyone else has some tips / tricks / advice for this mission I'd be glad to hear it! beniboy

Just go to \\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\A-10C\bin\x86_64 and run the a10_protect file. Do this for everyone module your having trouble with.
