Really appreciate the kind words! I'm plugging away really hard at the next one (I know ... I've been saying that for a while now). But the end is insight. I am adding a feature to the new campaign where if the triggers that detects what radio freq you have selected breaks for some reason (i.e. from an update or something) that you can have the game "auto-tune" the freqs so it doesn't kill the campaign in it's tracks. (or, if you just don't feel like tuning the radios you can utilize this new feature). It's a lot of work to add the system to an already basically finished campaign, but I figure it's worth the trouble if a future update to the DCS core may upend the radios. Even though the next campaign is going to use modern jets, you're not going to have to learn super in-depth procedures and whatnot. I'm trying to make it so all calibers of players (hardcore, weekend warriors, and new folk) can pick it up and enjoy it. It's a challenging balance, but I think I did it.

Hey there dlder, currently on the final stretch for the current campaign that I'm making, so haven't dug to much deeper than just giving it some thought. A few problems that would arise with the switch is the FC2024 models would be to have to do a complete rework of the Communication system, as the FC aircraft don't have tunable radios. The other issue would be navigating via the NDB. I'd have to find a solution that would make tuning and flying NDB radials something viable. Or if not that, a substitute that isn't ridiculous. Just have to get over the current hurdle before I dive into this one.

Oh, and much thanks @Rudel_chw That did the trick. Also, turning it down the condition value to 141, 0.05, 1 makes it so you can't turn it on just enough to see it faintly

It's kinda weird, seems like the knob turns as far as you have the X:Cockpit argument in Range going. I don't understand why there's a correlation, but there is (hint, turn the argument range to 0.05 - 1.0 and you'll see). The clickable action will turn the knob ALL THE WAY down, but the HUD will still be just as bright. About the MP missions, I'm so sorry I haven't been updating them ... hopefully you'll all see why soon.

Hello all, Trying to "fail" a system in the F-18 using the x: cockpit perform clickable action used to work, but now it isn't. What IS interesting is that I can watch the switch move, but no effect is taking place. Included are two .miz files. You can see in my triggers that if the switch is in a certain range, I will have the trigger switch it off. I watch the switch change position in the cockpit, but nothing happens. If I move that same switch by clicking the mouse over it, then the effect does take place. - Apache600 F18 HUD Fail test.miz F18 INS Fail test.miz

Hey guys, As the Title states, can the JF-17 drop the bombs without the need of a targeting que? The F-16 and F-18 can both drop in MAN mode, and the AV-8B can drop whenever it wants in DIR mode. Wondering if the JF-17 can do something similar. Would be handy for a avionics computer system failure and there's a want to rain down revenge on those that may have caused it. Lol.

Hahahaha. The celebrations got out of hand I see. Thanks for the report on that, it'll be fixed as I'm currently going through the campaign trying to squash all the bugs that have cropped up over the last while.

It's a plan of mine. Have to change every single Radio Transmission as well as other triggers that won't work with the reduced fidelity. Unfortunately there's a lot of backend work that will need to take place, but I think it's do-able. Just have to come up with some "work-arounds" for some things.

Currently working on solutions. Just flew the mission a few days ago before work decided to hit me in the face. The AI has been ... troublesome to say the least. I'll do what I can, but that might only do so much.

Hey everyone. Holy cow, it's been over 2 years since an update! Please accept my apologies for that. I've been extremely busy with life, work, and other DCS projects. I'm happy to report that my major DCS time sink is basically over, which was work on my second campaign. It's called "Unlikely Heroes" and is awaiting ED testing (the campaign is based on the Harrier, so the main wait now is for tensions to simmer between ED and Razbam. I'm very hopeful that a resolution isn't too far off). That said, here's some of the updates I've done for the missions posted in this forum (the dynamic spawn option has really taken some extra time getting things ... mostly triggers ... worked out.) See the string of updates below. Fixes for Normandy Variable, Channel Variable, Under the Fuzz, Caucasus Instrument, and Prison Break are coming soon. Just wanted to get this batch out before my brain was totally overloaded about what was done and what wasn't. Also, a new duel mission called "Caucasus Duel" will be out shortly as well. It's great fun, and has 3 different play modes when dueling 1 or more others. Thanks again everyone! and I'm happy to be back with some of these updates.

Brilliant!

LOL! must be the beautiful sunrise visuals amongst the hills that has them entranced.

I'll have to visit that guy again. Getting the timing down was a tricky thing to do years ago when this campaign was made. With all the updates, I guess the sound isn't lining up with the event. Appreciate you letting me know! Glad it's occurring though, there was a while where it didn't.

Hey Japo32. Well, I just ran the mission, and didn't have a CTD. However ... the AWACs does decide the best thing to do is to crash into trees about 2 minutes after taking off. So frustrating. The AWACs in the F-86 lasts a little longer before he crashes, about 6 minutes. I have to figure out what's going on here. That might be the cause to your CTD, but still odd, because even with those planes crashing, it didn't CTD for me.

oh crap, hahaha. Sorry, I did go ahead and talk about the 12th mission (8.4). Not actually Mission 12 Glad you got passed it. I would have mentioned to keep your speed up, MiG-15's best speed for maneuvering is 600 km/h. Another problem is the general physics applied to AI aircraft, as you can tell ... there's much to be desired.
