  1. 1) Picture you show is the campaign editor, you can't run a campaign from there. 2) The main menu of Lockon or FC2 should have something like a "Fly mission" or "Fly campaign" menu choice on it to run your missions. 3) If after selecting "Fly Mission" or "Fly Campaign" menus show and you select a mission file and you don't have a button to start the mission, go to the "Graphic / Screen Options Menu" and change the screen resolution to 1024 x 768 or there abouts.
  2. Correct only available up to DCS v2.5.3. Read Here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/685/ A good replacement for it is the free A4E: https://github.com/heclak/community-a4e-c Regards, Ian.
  3. This may explain your issue with FOV, it is a server side issue, the Server Admin or mission creator will have to delete the CONFIG/Views folder from within the mission file. Your FOV is over-ridden by the Servers mission config Regards, Ian.
  4. Whilst it is to late now, when saving missions, the safer way is to save regularly and to have multiple versions of saves of the same mission, I save every time to a new indexed named mission file when I have done some substantial changes so that if any thing goes wrong I only loss the last changes and not the whole mission. I assume when you saved often that you just over wrote the same mission file, if so this is frought with danger as you have found out. As to why this happens I can't say definatively, but if the mission editor has a rare issue on saving to disk it will usually create a LUA script error in the DCS.log file and will write a 0 or partial size length corrupt mission file to disk because the script that writes the complete code to the mission files has crashed at some point and didn't complete its job. DCS also has an auto backup feature now, it should backup the mission every 5 mins if enabled so you should see how that works and see if that actually made a backup of your mission. I haven't used it myself yet as I don't do to much mission editing these days. DCS Mission Editor Auto Backup Feature If you haven't run DCS since the issue, you may be able to recover a temp image of the mission file that dcs makes when you run the mission. ie TEMP=C:\Users\YourUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Temp FOLDER I am available to help in anyway I can, but it sounds like there is very little hope of any recovery of a working mission file. Regards, Ian.
  5. Time limit has always been there as far as i know, when I edited the missions sometime back, I adjusted that time limit to give a bit longer as I found it to harsh, it is only for the return trip down the mountain so the casuality doesn't die.
  6. This is what happens if you try to run a mission without owning the Supercarrier DLC, when landing you will not be able to catch the arrester wire either, check your module manager and confirm it is installed. Regards, Ian.
  7. Original mission had "Cloud density of 3" = Light scattered approx, A re-write of that mission had it changed to "Cloud Density of 6" = Med - high cloud cover. I agree It should be changed back to lesser cloud coverage. Regards, Ian.
  8. Corrections already done for all missions in the campaign, the tree removal function is a hit and miss affair, works sometimes and not others, missions may have newer introduced errors due to later patches to DCSW after work and testing was completed. Deployment Campaign corrected for DCSW 2.5 and later Regards, Ian.,
  9. If you or others are so inclined, try my corrected versions of DCSW Campaigns, should work better than the originals, bar any newer issues since I did the work and testing. Deployment and others for DCSW2.5 Regards Ian.
  10. I am missing it also. I think it is gone for good unfortunately.
  11. In the front seat, you have a little lever on the left lower part of the cyclic stick to unfold it, if it is stowed you have no control until it is unstowed.
  12. Stable DCS release: C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS\Logs\DCS.log Openbeta DCS release: C:\Users\yourname\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Logs\DCS.log
  13. I would increase your "Windows Pagefile" to 32GB, so you have 32GB real ram + 32GB virtual ram.(I consider this minimum personally). Nvidia GPU drivers referenced in the crash log, you might have to uninstall them, download and run DDU cleaner and reload fresh drivers. Re-run DCS to see if it fixed crashing with Syria map base missions. Regards, Ian.
  14. You will both need to have a common IP protocol between you, either IPV4 or IPV6 (Long MAC looking address), depending on the Internet provider you have, you may have IPV4 only, IPV6 only, IPV4 over IPV6 or a Dual Stack system with IPV4 and IPV6 together. The ideal is a "Dual Stack protocol setup" that would allow IPV6 connections and fallback to IPV4 connections if needed. If one of you has a IPV4 only setup and the other IPV6 only, the later may have the option of changing their router to allow IPV4 over IPV6 as well, this would allow for you both to connect with the IPV4 protocol. Regards, Ian.
  15. Log is showing problems: Nvidia GPU drivers referenced in the crash log, you should uninstall them, download and run DDU cleaner and reload the fresh drivers. Lua code errors, maybe related to MODS (FRENCHPACK V4.8), suggest uninstalling all MODS if fresh load of GPU drivers doesn't resolve issue. Regards, Ian.
