Who said I disliked the game? It's a great game just severely lacks content. It's been that way for nearly 15 years. Not once in that entire time has anything gameplay wise been added to the game. Thank god they have the true believers like yourself here to defend them though. You seem to be one of those it's a SIM not a game!! type of guys who gets enjoyment out of learning each switch on the cockpit. Some people like myself still want decent gameplay to go along with the switch flicking.

Lmao cmon bro sorry but fake scripted campaigns in dcs are nothing compared to bms. Bms does it so good it's not even a comparison. The entire campaign is running non stop with or without you in that game. You can literally play it like an rts game. Having some 15 mission fake scripted single missions that have zero bearing on your next mission is not in any shape or form better than what bms does. Hate to break it to you. Sure some scripted campaigns can be fun but when nothing you do even matters it's a total immersion killer and it plays the same way every single time you play it. They really got this forum locked down with true believers in dcs don't they? I just had my entire thread deleted I spent 20 minutes writing cause I mentioned il2s campaign system. Yall are truly indoctrinated here arent you. Sitting here pretending some cheap script campaign is in anyway comparable to Falcons live dynamic campaign.

I am not a huge fan of single missions though, I like playing through a campaign where you feel like there's an arc or some kind of end goal. Just jumping into a single mission is like firing up the quick mission maker over and over again. That's the biggest issue I have with DCS is the absolute lack of dynamic or even generated campaigns. IL2's campaign system isn't technically dynamic its just a mission generator that keeps track of stats and makes new missions on the fly for you, it sticks to a timeline and moves you on through a set period of time. Nothing dynamic about it. It however lets you feel as though you are participating in something. DCS lacks even that. If you can't get a user made or official campaign you might as well just fire up the quick mission generator over and over and write your stats down on a piece of paper like its 1992. Sadly the games in the 90's had better singleplayer options than even DCS does.

Flying the same missions over and over with a new plane gets old bud. Without any long term cohesion to the missions doing the same old quick missions gets boring real quick. Actual campaigns are much funner, stuff that actually works and doesn't require somebody to dive into a mission editor to fix everything and having to learn to do that is annoying. I get people enjoy tweaking endlessly and are well versed in creating missions, I don't have time for that. So when I exclaim there is a lack of actual decent singleplayer content I am not saying it to talk smack, its a shame and makes me want to play something else when my time is so limited. Unless you are flying the few super popular modules in singleplayer good luck getting any decent cohesive content to play. DCS needs a dynamic campaign system yesterday. Unfortunately DCS needs so much other stuff fixed and added to even make that system viable. Without working ATC, decent ground vehicle AI, and a few other things it's not even possible for this to come to fruition.

I literally base purchasing decisions on whether or not a plane has any content on the user files section, a few planes have very little to do with and I have not made those purchases based solely on that. I really want this mirage but the lack of content for it is worrisome.

Yeah try flying the mig 21 on most of the user stuff with broken RBSN, and other broken nav systems. Half the <profanity> doesnt work. There isn't as much content out there as you think there is. Missions made 8 years ago don't exactly work anymore, if you aren't flying the latest and greatest module releases good luck. Not a single one of those dynamic missions work for the plane because all the navigation is broken in them. But yeah you definitely seem to know everything.

Yeah, sure thing bub.

Did they ever add this to the Syria map? I don't see them in the mission editor.

Hahaha, I didn't say I wanted dev updates every single day, please stop putting words in my mouth. That's twice now in only two posts. Maybe once a month, or every two weeks we could get an insight into whats going on behind the scenes with things that were promised years ago. 99% of other dev studios do it and they have no issues. Apparently DCS doesn't have to because they have people like you in here defending them at every corner. It's kind of embarrassing frankly. Also sorry the dynamic campaign missions for most of the modules, basically all the redfor aircraft do not work because they don't use standard radio frequencies. I mean it sounds like you've certainly poured through all the content and have verified yourself that it all works perfectly and satisfactory. How is it not the devs fault there's nothing to do with their products in their game? That's quite the bizarre take. I don't think it's asking for much to get a modicum of content for the products that get put out on this simulator. When we've heard time and time again that the majority of the player base is singleplayers in almost every sim for that matter I think it's important to try and keep them occupied or else they just will eventually cease to exist. If you want to sit here and defend the way they do things go for it. It's no skin off my back, but don't put words in my mouth and then use them to base your entire flawed argument on. Thanks.

I know it had nothing to do with the FM, I was just mentioning it.

What's the difference between AFM, EFM, and PFM? When they did the FC3 aircraft I remember losing the fake routing systems the russian aircraft had that basically displayed your exact waypoints in the display in the cockpit, I was so pissed. I sucked at the game and those were the only planes I owned. Obviously that's not how the real planes worked but I really missed it lol. The mig-29 feels really great to fly. I haven't flown any of those planes in so long I need to give them a spin.

When we haven't heard jack diddly about the SP improvements, like my biggest want the dynamic campaign or hell even a better mission generation system, better AI, we haven't heard a peep from them about the dynamic campaign that was talked about what like 2 years ago? Old SP campaigns are broken half the time even paid for ones. On the surface it looks like there's lots of content to play but there really isn't. Maybe for the main modern warplanes like the f-18, f-14 and the like but when you get to the older content and especially russian stuff there's nearly nothing to do with them. The mig-19 has literally nothing to play with it. The mig-21 has some stuff but most of it is broken either with the radio setups or something else. There's literally like 5 mission to play with the F-5e unless you find some old missions/campaigns that work. We just wanna hear stuff that will keep us buying and playing. It's only beneficial in my eyes to keep hype for the game at optimum levels. Not talking about upcoming features just makes people get bored and stop playing.

I mean it's great if you feel that way, but other people like myself would like to know whats being actually worked on and if we can expect any updates in the near future. Especially things like the dynamic campaign system. Those of us who mainly play singleplayer in DCS are being left high and dry with no info in sight. So like I said maybe you don't care but some of us do. The way modern game development works devs tend to give out quite a bit of info these days since it's so easy to do and keeps your customers engaged and excited about upcoming features. It's also beneficial to help generate interest and have good things spread on the internet to increase interest in the game and possibly grab even more future customers. ED isn't Apple or Samsung. And to be fair they often do leak a lot of information on upcoming tech and features. What phone release just drops with ZERO information given beforehand? I can't name one.

I get an error everytime I try and run the updater. Says like events outside parameters.

It's the hot war in the cold for the mig 21. I used the script mod that came with the campaign is there a newer version I should try?

Hey miguel, I am also unable to contact my flight, which should be channel 0, or 124mhz default, and I cannot contact any of the EWR's which if I am doing intercept missions in a mig 21 is pretty much necessary. Hope you can look into it thanks. Russian aircraft and their wacky radio systems.

TRying to play hot war in the cold in the fishbed but I am getting errors on the radio frequencies, apparently the fishbed radio doesn't do those frequencies and it wont generate a mission. Seemed to work on the second try.. Let's see how it goes.

Having the same issues here, flying the instant action mission on syria map, trying to get callouts from either AWACS works for like 2 minutes than stops, have channels set correctly, the RBSN doesn't seem to work either. It's super finnicky. Sometimes it works other times it doesnt. If I follow the briefings channel numbers I can't get ATC or awacs to work.

What gets me is why you are even in this thread if you hate reshade so much. You really gotta just laugh at people who just HAVE to make sure everyone else knows your dislike for said thing. Nobody cares.

Is there any user made campaigns for this wonderful aircraft? Or missions?

Hey guys I can't seem to wrap my head around how to use these missions? Is there a tutorial on how to get started with these mbot dynamic campaigns? I'd love to try them out.

Don't hold your breath. :P

That resolution works just fine I play DCS with it currently. Not sure why you cant find it in the list.

I was hoping by upgrading it they meant in line with how they are upgrading the blackshark, by giving us a more modern and heavier equipped version, love to see this plane with more missiles. I really like this plane for some reason or another and would enjoy seeing it more utilized.
