Glad I'm not the only one with issues with this mission. Hopefully ED takes a look at this one for the next patch. Seems like it could be a good mission.

Yankee Camp Problems Hello, As was recommended to me by some other forum goers, I have been trying to complete the Yankee camp mission as it is supposed to be fairly beginner friendly. I am having a lot of trouble getting anything to trigger past eliminating the infantry near the north outpost (I've checked my F10 map to make sure theyre all gone). I've flown it about 7 times, and only once have I been able to trigger whatever goes down at the south outpost (I got shot down, so I don't really know what that is). I usually stay on station for 30min or so, but don't get any calls from the camp and JTAC says no tasking. Not sure what I'm doing wrong here; is it possible there is a problem with the mission, or am I missing something obvious? Thanks.

Hi rogod, I live in Ontario too. We should fly sometime. I can setup a server

Does anyone know if it's possible to launch a track from the command line directly? I saw some posts for doing this in FC2, but can't seem to get it to work with DCS. Thanks, Craig

Thanks for the tips. I'm going to give it another go. And I'm also going to try the hideout mission. I like the briefing that you put together for that one. Have other people done these for other missions or is there another way to get a bunch of this information in the sim's mission planner or anything like that?

Hello all, I've been just getting into DCS for the past month or so. I've just finished the training missions and am now just starting to get into real missions. I am also looking for a good list of multiplayer servers that are newbie friendly, and also looking for people in the eastern time zone (ish) to fly with. I have a few questions that have arose since I did my first mission. I started with the WeaponsTraining.miz that comes out of the box to see if I could pull it off, but I had some difficulty. Here is my question: I had great difficulty finding the targets at waypoint 2. I tried to use the TGP, and slave all sensors to SPI (which was steerpoint), but the steerpoint was in the sky, and it seemed like the TGP pointed up to the sky instead of below the steerpoint; is this normal? How many passes should it take to actually locate the targets; it takes me like 10 to find them and I find them visually because I can't get the TGP into the vicinity easily. What is the usual approach to find unmarked targets like in this mission?
