1. Says who? is there more people playing this single player, yes but its the online community that makes waves. 2.so you converted coop from a single player campaign/mission, how about start out with just having one of those 16 ai planes available for another player. from the get go 3. this would make sense, like what? I played your entire campaign and the coop ones, guess what, I saw zero difference, only it was 1000000000000000% more fun 4. are you saying one mission cannot be single player AND coop? Dude, just try this, make 1 campaign and make it single player/coop, advertise (play with a friend) I'm going to bet your time will be worth it. You will get the single player people buying it and now you will get the multiplayer people only times TWO!! I'm not wrong here, look at other platforms, IL2 is a huge online playerbase and so is much of the rest of gaming these days. Finally, all aircraft if im not mistaken have wingmen, it only makes sense! PS, why lock the game files? I could have went into mission editor and just added another plane, it might have messed with the triggers, but every single player missions only i was able to do that with , it still worked.

seriously, I cannot wrap my head around this. No one says they have to be played Coop only, but why is the option not there? I thought it was some crazy hard scripting or something but after playing the f86 hunters campaign, two of the missions were coop.. two of them. TWOOOOOOOOO ONLY TWOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Seriously, why? Every mission you're out with 10+ planes, there is no reason to not make every mission have the option to play coop. Lets face it, the online servers suck here, there is never a point to any of them except to just fly around and bomb the same exact target over and over, with campaigns you have awesome stories and missions that you feel like you are actually accomplishing something.. Hate to say it, as bad as Ace high 3 looks, it feels good to play it since you actually matter, unlike all online servers here. Developers, you will also make more money, I bet anything you make a crappy f18 or f16 campaign and just add the option of having it be coop and it will be the #1 sold campaign! TLDR; Make every campaign coop possible, make more money with sales. This is easy! I'm out! rant over

For such a complex simulator that focuses heavy on multiplayer, every campaign they release is single player only. Why can't they just make it possible for a coop slot for each mission in the campaign, hey ED, you will make double the money, this isn't rocket science

he owns both and mine looks like that too, but he simply cannot click on any spot, on your example you also only have 1 person in there, try it with two and you will see

I bought the Huey campaign because I was told from some people in the DCS discord that it will work with a buddy being a co-pilot. The simple answer is, NO !! IT DOESN'T! DCS is so anti-multiplayer its pathetic, you look at the server list daily and its pathetic, I get 99% of people play this single player, but some of us like coop and it would be nice to fix.

really wish DCS would go back to using torrents, I am not alone, I have a bunch of friends and we all get horrible downloads. WONSZOV I did what you said, no change. I'm at 1.5 now just like ysterday for the new map, now this update. Please fix this DCS!

Been with DCS from the beginning and never complained, but since files are getting bigger and bigger, I think its time they update their servers. I mean downloading at 1-2mbps is a joke and IMO there is no excuse for it. I get steam probably has a ton more money and that's why we can get 40+mbps downloads but even GOG and others I get at least 10-20 this is really pathetic and feels like dialup days

I just bought this module, I do like the airframe and low level stability it offers. I am slowly learning it, and one thing I learned quick is everything requires waypoints and attack points for things to work. I thought for a while there has to be another way. I watch every tutorial and you always see someone placing waypoints and attack points at specific locations, great I think, but guess what, intelligence was wrong or the enemy moved by 100's of miles. thats right, we thought the enemy ships or tanks were over here but we were wrong and they are over there. What is a viggen pilot to do? The bombs I kind of guess I could calculate the ground altitude but what about the anti-ship missiles? what about rockets and guns? I test fired the RB15 by just aiming my plane towards some ships and I did hit a ship, but if I was off by just a little, say 10 degrees to the left of the ships the missiles would miss. There just has to be a way to use these weapons without having waypoints thanks

don't want it for 2,4,10 or 20 people. there are plenty of single player missions and campaigns, guess what they almost ALL have with those missions. A wingman! simple make that 1 wigman.. playable! Multiplayer is great, but I would bet anything its less than 20% of the people that play this game, yep I think 80% or more play this singeplayer, same goes for IL2 and other simulation games. The multiplayer in DCS isn't all that great, because they are designed for multiple people even the hoggit server, you never feel like you're accomplishing anything. The single player missions and camapigns on the other hand are amazing, so a simple 2 player option would be awesome!

It boggles my mind, with such a great foundation like DCS, we get almost no coop missions made. So many make great campaigns and missions, with tons of scripts, yet they can't just leave one spot empty for a coop mission? Every multiplayer game/mission is just that, multiplayer. don't you all have like 1 or 2 buddies that you love to fly with? AI can only do so much, having a real wingman is game changing. I can add a client spot for my buddy but with tons of scripts it messes it up. Again, mission makers, please for the love of god, make a campaign with a coop slot, charge as much as you want and I will pay. Actually I think many will, there has to be others like me lol

I got the email saying "EVERYTHING except campaigns" was free for a month. My squad and I applauded DCS, its a bold and awesome move during this time. The 2 day trial was honestly a joke, it takes some of us that long just to learn the basics and sometimes just starting the ships up. That said all of us, very excited, only to find out its not "everything", I mean why is heatblur or whoever made the jf17 saying no to this? Doesn't DCS have the final say? needless to say, its kinda BS!

Hey guys! We now have an amazing dedicated server for hosting. we will have a dynamic type mission playing at all times and a dedicated training server, don't be shy, jump on in and start enjoying what this game has to offer

Madcats is always taking new people, we don't ever judge and will be happy to teach you and get you into this awesome sim. you don't have to come from the navy or the airforce to fly with us and we don't try to act like we do (like many others sadly do) If you call the wrong fox code, no one will ridicule you! we're a bunch of laid back guys from veterans to people flying with a keyboard (don't do that though, seriously get a hotas lol ) Come on in and say hello, we play from 9PM EST to about midnight everynight. https://discord.gg/tQA8vRh

I think its great that DCS is replying with help, but do you guys not realize this is not a PC issue, this is a complete mess across the board. Servers aren't even upgrading to the latest patch and sitting at two versions ago now.

sad how dead this game is becoming :( I'll try another question but it seems most are gone from this game. What do the colors mean, I see blue and red and can do missions on both

ok so I don't get the multiplayer thing.. I played last night with 4 of us, I figured out the first part of this campaign, buying stuff and setting up the mission. Now that the mission is over, it says to reload something? go back into the change slot position and reload the mission?? Then grab the logfile and place it into the directory, I did all this but something is not right because it never detected anything from that file.. can someone possibly explain step by step after finishing a multiplayer mission? Thanks

I have a dedicated rio so I usually ask for my speed when needed. Truth is , its really NOT needed in the hud. landing is easy, use the E bracket, when in a dog fight does anyone really need a speed indicator anyway? only time I use the gauge or would like it in my hud is bombing.

Trying any positive curve on my axis caused me to break the plane a lot easier. I will try the negative curve, but even setting it to 5 was too much for me, it seems as if I'm pulling nice and easy then I pull just a little more and "BANG" there goes a wing. It's harder to be precise with 0 curve but I don't break my plane

This is a unique bird, one where IMO requires two people to get the most out of it. Jester is cool and does a decent job, but I fly pretty much only will my rio. That said, when they release the campaign, will we be able to both do this? together? I really hope so, it only makes sense.

This is a little embarrassing but since the release my buddy and I have been non stop flying the F14, though I'm always in the front he's always in the back. We have been focusing on learning one thing at a time. Startup,lantern,rockets,bombing ccip/ccrp, auto land, tcan and so on. He just now is starting to learn the radar and can lock someone up and iff. Problem is we cannot seem to launch a missle. I have missile prep on, we have 4 phoenix C models loaded, master arm is on, selector is on PH on the stick and I'm in air to air mode. He should be able to fire back there as well but when he presses the fire button and holds it nothing happens. it never lights up red, something is missing I assume? Thanks for the help

you could have just stopped at saying its unlimited, this makes sense and its no longer silly or stupid. Like I said, I can install steam games till my hearts content.

so I have to reenter all my serial numbers then? Also I looked it looks like most of my modules have a 3/10 activated. what a silly system, why would they only give you a certain number? I paid for it, it should be unlimited, its only able to be used on MY account, I cannot give away a serial number. silly stuff! imagine if steam did this, stupid

wow you're right. They are all showing up and all my instant actions and missions are there for each module, but when I go to play them I'm stuck in the map view and cannot get into the cockpit. so what am I supposed to do?

I installed a new drive and reinstalled windows 10. I moved the DCS folder from my old drive to the new drive and did a repair. Now when I launch the game it asks for all my serial numbers for each module, but once I'm in I'm logged in with my user name and password and its fine, they all work. I just have to keep hitting exit on every module before the game launches. any fix? thanks

Just wanted to update everyone, after years of having this issue, I can say its 100% fixed! here was my solution. Before chucking up 1500-2000 bucks for a new PC I figured I'm still within the top 10-20% pc's playing games with my system. I figured my old 128gb ssd drive needed to be faster, I went and finally got an M.2 drive and stuck it in. I then did a completely new install of Windows 10. I took my old dcs folder and copied to the new m.2 same drive as my windows install this time. I then copied the user/saved games/dcs folder to the same location. Did a repair/cleanup and it loaded some stuff but for the most part all good loaded the game and.... micro stutters :( not as bad, much better but they were still there. I was going to live with it, but took a quick look at my saved games/user name folder and saw it was at almost 20gb, mostly the multiplayer trackfiles that was using that much storage. I decided to just delete that whole folder and do another repair and start fresh. Sure the @#$#@ enough, its PERRRFECT!! Have not played DCS in years this smooth, even if I drop into the 40-50fps range I don't even notice it. Also I noticed my GPU is now running at 95-100% usage, before it was closer to 50-70% not sure what exactly the problem is, but for anyone with this issue please try deleting that folder (c: <username> saved games/DCS delete the DCS folder and then do a repair via command prompt) I have read dozens of posts with this issue and not one that I have come across had this advice. Thanks!
