I can hardly imagine that I'm good enough for that...

Hi, I'm currently on the 17th mission in the Georgian Hammer for CA campaign and I'm giving it up. It is no fun at all... 1 - Up until now about every other mission I've flown has crashed to desktop. 2 - Only one of all the "support the advance of aaa and bbb to ccc and ddd" missions has worked so far. Pressing the F10 key on the radio menu sometimes shows the aaa and bbb units, but usually they do not appear. If they do appear pressing their corresponding F-key, does not advance the units. 3 - JTAC takes forever to respond. Sometimes it works, but usually not. The JTAC can read the 9-Line, but then after I'm asking for remarks for example it will take several requests before they respond. In the meantime I'm just flying there looking silly and vasting time and fuel. If the JTAC reads me the 9-line I could of course make a mission waypoint and shoot the targets myself, but thats not the point. Anyway that can only be done if the 9-line is actually read to me. JTAC does not work... I'm not interested in flying this campaign any longer. So what do I do now? Are there other campaigns available for download that I can try? Are there missions I should try? What do you do when you've finished the campaign? Thank you

Is there a training mission available somewhere to train aerial refuling?

I tried to search for it there but all I find is this folder: \Saved Games\DCS\Missions\Campaigns\en and it is empty...

Updating to DCS World 1.2.1 made some strange errors and I'd like to make a clean install. Where are my campaign saved so that I do not loose my progress? Thank you

These are my specs: ASUS P9X79 Motherboard Intel Core i7-3820 Processor Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 16GB CL9 Samsung SSD 830 Series 128GB 2.5" Corsair HX 850W PSU HIS Radeon HD 7950 3GB Sony Optiarc DVD±RW Writer Intel Air Cooling ASUS PCE-N15 11n PCI-E Adapter Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB I get the sound from Bose Companion 5 USB speakers that should include its own "soundcard". I have the latest drivers to the motherboard, including audio though. I do not have the latest AMD/Catalyst driver. The current is 12.8, but I have 12.3 since AMD informed me that 12.3 is the best driver for my HIS Radeon HD 7950. DCS is installed on the SSD drive C: My Library folders (like Saved games) however are located at the Western Digital 2TB disk D: (If it should matter...) Question: When is the dcs.log created? Every time DCS CTD the sim is restarted almost immediately and goes to the "debriefing" page where I can see a log of what happened. Is the log file created after CTDs only? If the dcs.log is created every time the sim starts, the log file provided above might not be of the CTD, but of the restart just after...

I've not flown the A-10 for a couple of weeks. Today I started the next mission in the campaign and after a little over an hour into the flight, the sim crashes to desktop... Very frustrating... :( Please see attached logs as instructed: Logs.zip

OK... Strange...

In a mission in the Combined Arms Georgian Hammer Campaign (http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/214325/), after playing a bit in the F10 map I suddenly found myself in one of the tanks on the ground after pressing a specific button on the map. The button I pressed to get into the ground unit, and change between various ground units, does not appear when I select my A-10... I am thus unable to get back into my A-10 - how is this done?

Hi, Every time I'm dropping a CBU and looking at the TGP when it hit and explodes, the drop in FPS is dramatically. I would say at best I have 1 frame pr sec for five-six seconds. What setting(s) might have an impact on FPS like this? What settings should I consider reducing to avoid this problem?

How can I confirm that it has been installed correctly? It does not appear when running DxDiag and I can't find it in the installed programs list.

I see you link to DirectX 9. On my computer I have DirectX 11 (as far as I know) - is that a cause for problems since you link to an earlier version? I also see in my Programs list that I have all of these installed: Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.17 Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable - x86 9.0.30729.6161 Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x64 Redistributable - 10.0.30319 and Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable - 10.0.30319 Should I uninstall one or more of these?

Thank you! If the mission objectives are not met and I quit - will I then refly the mission later or is the mission a failure then?

Hi, 1 - Is it possible to refly a mission that I did not do well in? For example if I was shot down? I only find an option to restart the entire campaign... 2 - If the mission asks me to destroy three tanks only. Will it help me later in the campaign if I destroy additional units like SAMs or radars? 3 - Does it make any difference if I quit the mission in mid air instead of flying to my base, land there and shut down?

I see! Thank you :)

Hi, I've made some changes to the default joystick and keyboard options and saved them using the Save Profile option. This way I'm getting a .lua file. Now I deleted the D:\User\Your name\saved games\DCS folder to try to solve a different problem (CTD). I did make a copy of the folder before I deleted it though, so I try to use the Load Profiles option, browse to my .lua file but I do not get my settings back. One time I tried this it did not change anything at all. Another time I tried this I restored the changes I made, however all the default settings that I did not change was lost... What is the correct procedure to make a backup of the joystick/keyboard options?

Unfortunately I've not seen any commonalities at all in the CTDs happening when I'm flying. Sometimes it happens after ten minutes, sometimes after well over an hour... The last CTD I had yesterday was (according to the Tackview file viewed later) about 14 sec. after dropping a CBU-87 and 3 sec. after the CBU started spreading. At the time all I was doing was banking to the left. I've included all .crash files I found in the /Logs folder. Also included is the latest DXDiag.txt file Crashlogs 1.zip DxDiag.txt

I see. Thank you for answers! I'll try the CBU-105 :)

Great! I'll try this. What makes you think there might be an problem with that folder?

Hi, I posted this in the A-10 part of the forum, but no response was received, so I try here instead. Sorry for the double post... Frome time to time I get CTD using DCS World A-10C. Sometimes it might happen after 10 minutes. Sometimes after 1 hour 30 minutes... It does not appear to happen when I do something special... Today it happened while I was banking to the left after a CBU-87 drop. I've installed DCS World on a SDD drive, running Windows 7 x64, Intel Core i7-3820 Processor, 16 GM RAM, HIS Radeon HD 7950 3GB with 12.3 Driver. Any ideas?

Until now I've only been able to drop a single laser guided bomb at one specific target using CCRP. If there are several targets at the same location I will have to fly just as many passes and drop one bomb each time. Is it possible to drop up to several laser guided bombs in one run? How is this done? I guess, if it is possible, that I must drop one bomb, wait a few seconds, then drop the next bomb, wait again and so on so that I have time to move the laser before the next bomb hit?

Well, there were 4 options F1 - F4. In addition to Mace and Pine, there also where a CAP and a CAS flight. The two flights responded and were removed from the F10 menu, the missions objective, Mace and Pine, was not removed, and did not move on the map either...

Noone who knows the answer to at least one of the two questions above? :)

Hi, I just tried the third mission of the campaign. During night I'm supposed to support the advancement of ground units Mace and Pine to point Alaska. How do I do this exactly? I first contacted the east most JTAC and attacked all targets he gave me, until he had no more tasking for me. Then, while using the VHF AM 124.0 freq I used the F10 option to "Advance Mace/Pine to Alaska". Nothing happened. There were two other assets in the F10 menu; a CAP and A CAS flight. So I tried them and first neither of them either replied. When I tried a few minutes later the responded and was removed from the menu. After a long time of trying to get Pine and Mace to advance (my wingman and I was at this point the only aircrafts still in the air) I gave up and RTB... 1 - How do I get Pine and Mace to advance? 2 - What happens in the campaign - can I/must I fly this mission over again or does the campaign advance with the mission as failure? Thank you

I guess it's all right :) Thank you. I'll try that one as well. I only fly the A-10. Is the mission only for the BS and SU25?
