Looks like it is only for first mission. On the Mission #2 I see labels "on units" but map is still "hardcore", I see map and compass rose

Yes. I see label when I play some single mission. I see labels on map in the cut scene (1st mission in campaign) but when I have to to two landings - I am lost.

Good day All Could anybody help me to switch labels on? I tried "No force mission, use mine" but I still cannot see myself on a map and red\blue dots for airplanes. I know that Creator did not recommend to use setting "No force mission, use mine" but I am playing the game, you know and not training for WW2. Thanks

Good day All Just finished The Enemy Within 3.0 - some feedback. First - thank you Baltic Dragon for your campaign. I really enjoyed it. Good campaign for somebody who wants to play a not awfully hardcore and difficult campaign. If somebody wants hardcore - you always can switch all labels off and do not prepare coordinates in advance. I did it sometimes when I flew missions several times. And there are still some not easy missions in the campaign. Night missions killed me Playing the TEW campaign - it is like reading a book or watching a movie. Good story, variety of missions. Almost all missions can be passed from second attempt. A lot of missions are multi-steps missions and you will learn to not use all your Mavericks for SUVs in the very beginning. No big issues, just several times frequencies did not match in briefing and kneepad. No need to fight triggers to force a mission to continue. Only a couple of times I heard the same voice message on my way to and from AO when I hit the same trigger zone twice. Not mission critical, just voice messages. Idea with debriefing - it is cool. I liked it. What I remember most: Helping to escape a Georgian guy from captivity, Really good multi-steps mission, I would say "sub-campaign" . Sea target - it was interesting but when I flew it years ago I had to do something with L-39 by myself. Now another guy helped me. I liked it. Evacuation of an F-16 pilot. I had to cheat a bit in this mission and attack before Overlord's clearance, but sometimes I am sure they do it in real life as well The solo mission with bad weather in the mountains - was a good change for mission types. Thanks again.

I used a "cheat". I started to kill Air Defense before I got "go" from Overlord. After you kill two MANPADs it is easier. In this particular mission it does not fail the mission. And of course after 5 attempts I knew truck's route very well Actually trucks - is the most tricky part because of time limit.

I think I know how to do it. Almost passed... Interesting, the debriefing after failed mission is longer than after success. Looks like mission was expected to be hard

Good day All Mission - rescue of the F-16 pilot. I saw on You tube how other people pass it but these videos were published long ago. Maybe something was changed and it became very difficult? Me and my bot just cannot kill all Air Defense on time and clouds force you go low where bad guys kill you and your bot. For now I want to cheat - kill all of Air Defense before Overlord clears the attack. Looks like mission allows such ROE violation :) Any advice or I just should play better? Thank you P.S. To admin, sorry, I did not put this topic into right forum. UPDATE: thanks for moving my question to the right place.

IMHO - I can tell you how they think. 1) Down time for DCS authentication servers - N hours in a year . 2) Create proper offline version - K months of G devs \ testers\ ... bla bla bla N<< K*G and if you do not have Internet - it is not our problem. That's all Sometimes I miss Flanker 1.0. I think I miss 2.5 even more ...

Hm, never worked for me. Change hardware - no problem, just ask authenticate again normally and sign off your new Windows \ PC. The same as reinstall on a new machine. No, I can understand you need Internet ( for example some MMO games do not work without Internet at all). I just asking to add ability to play several days offline in case something happens with servers. I understand it is a security issue but I doubt anybody will have a special offline PC for stolen DCS. Let's admit - DCS has very "narrow circle" of regular customers.

Good day Is it a difficult to implement following idea? Create something like "Authorize offline mode on this particular Windows for a week". Or other period of time - 3 days, 5 days ,... And renew/ reactivate it on every successful authentication. In such case you can play at least a week even if your internet is down. Or when DCS server is down.

I am pretty sure they think like that: 1) Everyone has internet nowadays. 2) To make login servers online easier than create an offline version. To be honest they could at least create something like "Authorize offline mode on this particular Windows for a week". And renew it every successful authentication. In such case you can play at least a week even if your internet is down.

Fridays.... At least I am not alone....

One more comment. I completed mission successfully but did not see fancy "Mission complete" picture. My bad - I did not check debriefing ( great idea btw). No other issues with a mission. Except I have no idea how you play without markers. I use dot only markers and still it is not easy for me. In Mission 4 I did not see smoke and I did not see friendly and first thing what I saw - it was Igla flying to me. They missed and I was able to finish the mission.

Good day Baltic Dragon Thank you for fixing and upgrading campaign. It is good to play it again. Could you please clarify something for Mission 4? In the briefing I see: Dodge - 250 FM and Overlord - 135.3 UHF. Looks like typo FM vs UHF. It is ok, it is clear that it is just typo. Problem that in the middle of the mission Overlord says "Contact GUARD" and I could not find GUARD frequency in the briefing. Should I use GUARD from mission 2? 121.5 AM? Thank you

Try it after overhaul. It looks like "TEW 3.0 on steroids". We have even debriefings now! It is a great idea.
