Thanks for the links! What about a campaign? Any thing official from Eagle Dynamics being made?

Hi, when can we expect missions or a campaign for the F-18C? Right now the only thing I can do is run Instant Actions. Looking for something more.

Are the stingers a private group? Are you on Discord? This mod looks amazing. Is it public?

If I can offer any tips, Try adjusting your Controller's Axis Curvature. This allows for VERY smooth turning and climbing while flying. It really helps when you need small angle adjustments on banks and climbs. Especially for refueling. To do this, goto your Control Options > Axis Commands > Select Joystick input on Pitch or Roll > Axis Tune unlocks at the bottom > Curvature = 20 (Or whatever is more comfortable for you, varies on Joystick model). Then do the same for the other axis. That should help.

Coincidence???? Tom Cruse tweets "Day 1" shooting of Top Gun with the F-18C on the SAME DAY DCS released the F-18 to the public. https://twitter.com/TomCruise/status/1002062865971499008

Hmm. Sounds like I need to build my own campaign. Well then. Lets get to it! By the way, if I build my own campaign, is it possible to publish it on DCS's market for others to buy?

I have the F-18 installed but I can not find a single Campaign or Mission for any maps. Especially Persian Gulf. Do they not exist? What am I to do? The training missions are there, but that's it. How do I execute combat missions or take off from carriers, etc?

I download the Persian Gulf map, and to my surprise I didn't see any reference to the A-10c for missions or campigns. What can you fly for missions on this terrain now? Just the Mirage? No A-10c campaigns or missions exist yet? Bummer.

Has anyone tried this and does it work well? I have a Vive, but the last time I played DCS with the Vive it was really difficult because my controllers turned to gloves and did absolutely nothing when trying to flick switches. Is this resolved? Best setup for Vive? Should I use a TrackIR instead?

I see your point. Thanks for sharing!

Can you reach 1200 knots at 30k in this game? That's another test because I do not recall being able to reach those speeds or even being close to it at 30k feet. Regardless, I've had various speeds and altitudes and I've yet to see a fire queue greater than 20nm. Have you?

Is it just me or is the range of the AIM-120C on the F-15 highly inaccurate? Meaning the range is about half on this game than in real life. For example if a Mig is heading straight for the F-15, the AIM-120C isn't ready to launch until about 15nm from the target. If the target is flying in another direction or running, then the launch range is about 10nm or even less. According to the U.S. airforce and Raytheon, the AIM-120 has a range to about 20-30nm. That's well within an engagement range. But this game doesn't allow you to engage until the target is less than 20nm flying straight towards you. Why is that? Is the game's missile range inaccurate? It's called a BVR (Beyond Visual Range) weapon, but this game almost waits till you can see the target before you can use the AIM-120C. Would love any feedback on this.

I would also like to know what this means. I have encountered it and I am unable to know if I beat the mission or not. I killed what I thought was all of the ground units, but nothing happens. No RTB or mission complete messages. Im left assuming I failed somewhere but not sure where or why. Any suggestions?

I'm stuck on "Night Hunt" and I've tried about a dozen times. *Spoiler* I just can't seem to take out the pursuing enemy vehicles before they wipe out the Special Forces team that are retreating. I've tired strafing with guns, but AAA takes me out if I drop below 6,000ft, I've tried Mavericks but still takes too long, nothing is working for me and I'd just like to skip this mission before I throw my computer out the window. Is it possible to skip this mission or am I stuck for good? Maybe I can disable the AAA on this mission so I'll have a fighting chance? It's super annoying flying so far and so long and fail because ground units get wiped out so quickly. Any advice would be great.

This still isn't fixed? I've been waiting since 2011. The TGP is a very important tool for the game. Considering 98% of all weapon deployed is aided by the TGP, you would think this would be a priority fix. An inaccurate TGP shouldn't be excusable. By the way, those of you who are saying it adds to the "Challenge", that's a cop-out excuse. We want realism. Because realism is challenging enough.

In DCS World 1.5: When I play in VR (Vive), my controllers are replaced with gloves and a pointed finger. How can I use this to click buttons in the cockpit? It appears thats what the purpose is but I can't click anything. So now my controllers are useless in game and I have to use mouse and keyboard to point and click, or to keyboard for shortcut keys. Then joystick to fly. The only problem is it's difficult to use keyboard shortcuts. What is the best solution for flying in VR? Joystick and keyboard? Or do the virtual gloves replacing my controller work? If so, how do I use them?

What is the deal with the F-18? I feel as though some aircraft have been developed and released between the time of development of the F-18's first announcement. I also have not seen anything in awhile on it. Is it still being developed? Thanks!

BKRull, That's a good idea taking a screenshot, Ill have to give that a try. But I think this shouldn't be necessary. I'm really surprised how much detail they've put into the mechanics of the game, but lack on the Campaign. One campaign comes with the game? That needs to change.

Any help would suffice please.

I always cold start and I never need the manual. After you've done it enough times, you're up and running before you know it.

*Possible Spoilers* Ok, on the second mission where I have to send Razor and Elm armor column to a designated location (Texas), I'm having a problem getting them to the proper location to complete the mission. 1st, I've cleared out all hostile known targets including support from my wingman and JTAC. 2nd, I tried to give the "Go" order via Comms - F10 - Others. But Elm and Razor were not an option. Only other flights for CAS, SEAD, or CAP. 3rd, I've tried manually sending the column by opening the map with F10 selecting the armor column, and kind of guessing where their location should go. They start to move out but I never get an update that they're in position or the mission is complete. I've tired this a few times. What am I missing to complete this mission???

That sounds like what I'm looking for, I'll give that a try. Thanks!

I thought about that, but the time it takes to switch my hand from either the keyboard or joystick to the mouse and accurately click the switch, it would have been quicker to just press U (HUD to SOI). So that doesn't save me any time. I was hoping there was someway to by-pass pressing U, then "Home" (DMS Forward). But I guess that's the quickest way to do it.

Ok, let's say I have A-D marked tanks as targets and my mavricks are slaved to Marker A since Mark A is my current HUD waypoint. I fire a mavrick. Now I'm ready to slave Marker B, but I need to switch to HUD as SOI press DMS Forward once to change waypoint to Mark B, switch back to MAV as SOI, press China Hat Forward Long to slave the new Mav to Marker B, then fire. Is it possible to switch between markers without having to make HUD as SOI? Just to remove this extra step? I'm trying to engage multiple targets with Mavs as fast as possible.

Are you sure you've downloaded all the parts required for the install? Do you have any anti-virus programs running? I use Advast, and I know Advast treats some parts of this game as a threat, and have experienced it placing certain files in the vault. Any additional details on the error would help.
