We did include some fixes to M3 for the next patch, I hope they solve this problem!

Prince mission 5 has been updated and will be working like a charm (I hope) as of next update. We'll have a look at M01.

I can assure you that the birds are off (so no strikes) and all the random failures are off. Maybe you have them enabled in general options in your DCS? I'd check that.

They all will be gone once the Taxi Directors arrive, I am almost done with updating both Raven One campaigns to make sure all works well (as far as possible in DCS) on the deck. And the directors will be a very good addition!

Hey, some of the missions don't have the new datalink system implemented, there simply were too many hot fixes I had to take care of with the last patches I didn't have time to move back and update older campaigns. Also, I was waiting for the taxi directors - now that they are coming, I am first updating both Raven One campaigns to work with them flawlessly out of the box, and then for December I will refresh all the Dominant Fury missions to remove space bar presses, streamline radio procedures and add data link everywhere. Bear with me please!

@Mike_CK I am completely dependent on ED. I've fixed the missions two days after we learned about the trouble, but I have to wait for ED to release the patch. And I believe that the delay is caused by final touches to taxi directors - compiling even a hotfix is not as easy as most people think unfortunately...

Unfortunately. Good news they are all internally fixed. I love having to spend hours to fix some other people's mistakes, LOL

Thanks. The static sometimes happens and is linked to under-the-hood changes to radio system, can't really keep up with all that... glad though you managed to fix this. As for the fence in / out I will check and fix.

Guys, this is internally fixed after being broken by Ugra with their Syria map update. They basically killed all the Gamblers missions without any communication from their side. It should be working fine as of the upcoming patch. Completely out of my hands and probably even more upset then you are with the whole situation...

Thanks @speed-of-heat we will check that!

Thanks. Yes, the SAVE function would be amazing to have.. but there is no way to make a complex and realistic mission that would last 30 minutes... As for the follow-up, I did what I could - I immediately fixed all the missions and as everyone else have been waiting for the patch to release them. Not much more I could do, unfortunately...

Yes, all the missions were broken by Syria map update by Ugra. All are also internally fixed - just waiting for the next patch to hit..

Indeed, this was broken by the Syria map update which we had no idea and no info about. I think the process of compiling the update is much more complicated than just creating a hot fix from campaign missions, and since there are final touches being made to the taxi directors we need to wait for these to be completed.. I think we are pretty close. Sorry about the frustration, guess we all have to learn to live with that, DCS being a super complex exosystem with a lot of moving parts.

Hey, apologies for late reply here. I did reply in Bugs section quite a lot and while you are right that I was pretty p***d off, I just did what I had to do and fixed all the missions broken by the Syria update myself. AFAIK missions 8-13 should already be working fine, while 1-7 will be working fine as of the next week patch. If you encounter any problems in the last missions, do let me know! BTW, I do check these forums but the quickest way to reach me is via my Discord channel, I am monitoring that one almost constantly - so if you have any questions feel free to reach out directly and chat @gonvise. Thanks!

Yes, it's been all over the forums - latest change to Syria map by Ugra broke the taxi logic on all airfields. I managed to fix Incirlik ones with the last patch, and the rest will start working again as of the next one. Sorry about that, this was completely out of my hands..

Thanks for the info! Enjoy the remaining two missions!

Guys I understand you completely, but please for a moment put ourselves in our boots (as 3rd party campaign devs): we spend months if not years building campaigns, testing them, updating them in the process to the changing DCS ecosystem (which is a good thing that it evolves!). Then we ship them out, working as intended (with Gamblers there was just one minor hiccup at the start). But then the map update breaks ALL of the missions. Trust me, you couldn't find the more annoyed person than myself when I learned about it.. but then together with some people helping me (big shoutout to Jakes and Gumidek) we just started going over each mission in order to fix what has been broken without our knowledge and involvement. This is the way things work and I think no matter how much controls, tests etc we have, these things will keep happening, with so many 3rd party devs. Yes, I agree Ugra should have communicated with us better - and as far as I know this part of the things (in general) is being addressed. I have to say ED has been very responsive to us and is putting in place different safeguards and systems that will minimize the waiting time for campaign fixes. In the meantime I guess everyone has to just be patient.. all the Gamblers missions should work as advertised as soon as the patch is there. The worst approach for us, as small devs is when people get upset with ED / Ugra / whoever and stop buying our 10$ campaigns as a sign of protest. Trust me, it hits people like myself most. Having that out of the way, I hope the patch arrives soon and you will be able to enjoy the Gamblers and two upcoming new campaigns by @Reflected and myself!

Glad you like it! Though I am hesitant to touch anything, making him behave as he does now took several hours of trial and error.. if it works, let it work :)

Its fine. I mean it is not, and I am pretty upset with the whole situation (as it is completely out of my hands), but at least I know how to fix this and it will be fixed for the next update (which should roll out in 1-2 weeks)

There should be a campaign patch now 2 weeks after the normal one, so we will have all the fixes submitted to ED by Friday and hope they will be out soon after that.

Thanks, will update the cards!

I didn't really change much in terms of logic, apart from adding an option of skipping SPACE BAR / F-10 radio menu and binding them to your HOTAS (it is explained at the beginning of the mission as a picture). Still it should work with SPACE BAR normally and nobody else reported similar problems. I'd need to check how it is programmed as I don't really remember the exact scripting now (too many missions built).

Are you using the stock DCS comms for supercarrier? As soon as you contact the Carrier the DCS takes over and I have zero control over the recovery part... worst case scenario just use an option to skip this mission in Campaign menu (since you already finished it) and move on, but this indeed is quite weird.

It is not intentional and the AI is told to only engage the L-39. Guess the AI is being at their best behaviour there in mission editor everything is set up as it should, so perhaps try to get out of there ASAP when they shoot. BTW there is no way to make the blue side attack any other blue assets in the mission editor...

I was told to wait with trying to fix it on my own as ED was supposed to change some of the settings. No news so far I am afraid... however, I'll run this mission this week and have a look so I can include some fixes for the next campaign update cycle in around two weeks.
