DCS2 Open Alpha Activation issue Hi, I don't know if this is the same activation issue as is affecting DCS 1.5 but I am running both DCS 1.2.16 and DCS 2 Open Alpha. Each time I open either DCS 1.2.16 or DCS 2 Open Alpha I am required to re-activate the Mig21-BIS. If I register using DCS 1.2.16 and only use this version then I am not required to re-activate, however if I use DCS 2 Open Alpha it appears to invalidate the DCS 1.2.16 activation and requires me to re-activate. If I continue using DCS2 only the activation sticks but as soon as I go back to DCS 1.2.16 I have to re-activate again. It is only the Mig21-BIS Module that is needing re-activation. All the other modules are fine. This is very frustrating. Hopefully this issue can be resolved. Regards, Bruce

Hi, I've been playing the P-51D campaign in the 1.2.8 Beta. I've had difficulty with a few missions due to the ineffectiveness of the rockets or bombs, particularly in Mission 18 - Bombs with More Difficulty.miz. I have dropped both bombs directly in the middle of the grouped trucks and have not been able to destroy any more than 2 trucks. This does not seem realistic in terms of the expected damage radius of 2 x 500 lb bombs. Based on other games and youtube footage of modern bombs I would have expected a bigger damage radius for 2 bombs. Has anyone got an explanation for this apparent ineffectiveness, is this by design or is it a bug. Thanks, Bruce

Rudder control issues too Hi, I'm also experiencing rudder control issues. I have find it usually occurs after I get an electrical failure of some sort as a result of too much collective. I have attached a track file from The Spring Campaign Mission 14 that seems to show it at it's worst. Reproduced more or less like this. 1. Mission start, no rudder assist in options, select the auto heading button 2. Take off, add collective to climb, some sort of electrical failure, I hear a whining noise from the right rear of the pilots position. 3. Electrical failure resets, reselect autopilot and auto heading 4. As I continue to fly rudder control gets progressively weaker. 5. Zero forward speed results in wild spinning. Makes it very hard to land ;-) Spring-Camp.-Mission-14.trk

Mission now works Hi, The latest 1.2.8 beta update resolved the mission issues. The Mi-24's shoot as they are supposed to. Thanks ED

Mission file en_SpringMi8-14.miz. DCS Version 1.2.8.26123 I am having trouble with this mission. When I get to way point 1, flight 105 requests permission to engage and then just circles way point 1 without doing anything. I have spent 1/2 an hour following 105 around in circles. If I move out of the area I get a "Mission Failed" notice and then return to the post flight briefing screen. I have had a look at this mission in the mission editor and cannot see what triggers are required for 105 to shoot the enemy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Snow90

Springfield 1 does not reach waypoint 2 Solved it myself. Saw a mention here http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=113723 about landing points at waypoint 0. I looked a little closer in the mission editor, and Springfield 1 had a landing trigger on Waypoint 0. I deleted that, and the mission played as I assume it was supposed to. Didn't finish it because I broke off the rotor on my fourth gun run on the rebels, but better than doing circles at the airfield. Feeling much happier now. :pilotfly:

Springfield 1 does not reach waypoint 2 Hi All, I'm having trouble with the UN Campaign mission 11 too. I have applied the fix from the sticky but it hasn't helped. In the mission I take off and join on the left side of Springfield 1, we fly forward a bit and Springfield 1 issues the command to fly heading 060 at 100 knots and then he just flies figure 8's around the FARP and the airfield. I have spent nearly a 1/2 hour following him at less than 0.2nm but we never move onto waypoint 2. I have looked at the mission in the editor and clicked show all for the triggers but I cannot see what triggers moving onto waypoint 2 I am really enjoying this campaign but getting frustrated by this mission. I am using DCS World 1.2.6 Thanks.
