Hey, thank you. We'll check it. Sound like a core DCS issue to me, but sometimes it is possible to find some workarounds until they are fixed. Will keep you posted. Moreover, I am now in the process of updating whole campaign, so rest assure these issues will be fixed! Also, please keep posting any bugs you'll find, that will make it easier to make sure nothing was omitted. Thanks!

I'll talk to him!

If all goes well with the patch on 21/05 (together with Phantom..

Haha, true! I've just built a small thing into the mission that will make it easier / less frustrating (I know it is long), we're testing it.

So for this campaign I don't use stock wingmen, and tSo for this campaign I don't use stock wingmen, and the AI wingmen have quite a lot safeguards built in and their behaviour was tested many times in each mission. Barring any new DCS bugs (that usually are fixed in reasonable time) I have to say I am super happy with how the wingmen behave. Had no issues with them in the final stages of testing and hopefully you won't as well. To the contrary, they add a lot to the immersion. Also, Stormbirds.blog has published two interesting (I hope) articles - preview of the campaign first missions and interview with yours truly, which I hope you will like.

We're looking at this mission, as several things seem to be going on there - the problem is they are different for different testers, and depend if it is in Single Thread or Multi Thread mode... so many things I cannot reproduce, but will happen for others - which makes it super difficult to address. But will do my best to fix as much as I can, thanks for the report & sorry for trouble!

OK I'll check it - hope to fix the tanker issue for the next week patch.

We're testing the mission and it is a FUBAR. One tester had issues that were described while flying in MT, but in ST everything worked fine. Another had no issues in ST and MT both. Seems to be something in core DCS which - luckily - only affects this one mission. Maybe we will be able to find what causes it. Will keepo you posted.

So as an update: with Gamblers out of the way, I am back to the Hornet training (in Marianas though, we need water for this - and a free map is an advantage too). We also started working with @Casmo on Apache one, set in Syria (more popular map than Nellis - and nicer too).

Thanks guys. This system is a real PITA to implement, but works pretty well once done.

No ETA, sorry. I'm dependent on Doughboy, who is working on the scripts, and there were some IRL issues recently that slowed things down. But it will come!

Hey guys & thanks. @skypickle it definitely isn't at the bottom, but I am depending here on @Doughboy who is working on the whole script, and with RL getting in the way things move much slower than expected. Not to mention that this campaign is somewhat "cursed" - working on first part took probably 4 years because in the process a hurricane hit his area really hard and put us back on the schedule by almost 2 years, then there were other issues... but we will get there. On the other hand, good news is I am moving to work on DCS full time as of the summer (quitting my normal job) so I'll be able to move forward with different projects much faster. And I am working on similar campaign to IF for the F-18 (as part of Raven One) and for the AH-64 (with Casmo). I actually think that training campaigns are really needed and that even MP - oriented people may be willing to play them.

I did check and it works fine for me as advertised. Can you upload a track file so I can see what is going on?

Plus the MANPADs are too accurate currently IMHO... but with some practice, they can be dodged.

Hey @Egyptman - first question is: do you have easy comms enabled? Looks to me this is something on your end. I tried it and it all works OK for me and for some other guys that recently flew the mission (they did report some issues, but of a different kind, not with the comms)

Investigating both things, thank you!

Will do! Thanks!

It doesn't look like the problem with the mission itself, as I have zero control over such issues. Have you tried to set up a simple mission against some bandits? I have no clue what could be causing this...

There is no Tower freq AFAIK - I think it is part of the lingo, but you should stay on the Marshal. Somebody correct me if I am wrong though.

OK, seems this mission needs revisiting. Good idea with adding the note about the need to perform a stored alignment. Thanks for your feedback!

Sorry, had some IRL family problems, apologies for late reply. I'll will check it this week and fix what needs to be fixed.

It is safe to jump to that point, the mission is long and the option is there for exactly this reason. It seems to me that the MANPADs are too powerful / accurate currently in DCS. Or you really need to learn well how to avoid them. I'd suggest to set up a very simple mission with a MANPAD where you could train just that - and find the best way. Or alternatively you can always set yourself to invulnerable in the options as last resort. The MANPAD is set to lowest possible skill level, so there is nothing more I can do about it...

Hey @RafaPolit! Apologies for late reply, had some IRL family issues to deal with. So: Easy Comms are a big NO-NO for all my campaigns and they won't work with easy comms enabled, there is no way around it. I want them to be realistic and switching radios, channels and frequencies is just part of the whole thing, so you have to disable easy comms to enjoy the missions. As for SRS I don't think it is causing any issues, you should be good as long as you disable the easy comms.

Hey, sorry for late reply @PawlaczGMD - had some family issues IRL to take care of. Did you manage to get past the problem? I'll check M02, but this may be the bug I described earlier as so far for me everything worked OK.

For me it works OK, I cannot reproduce the issue - so this must be the bug I described. The good thing is this was acknowledged by ED and they are looking for a solution.
