I didn't even notice that it's text-to-speech :-o (but english is not my native language). BTW, just a short question because I'm slightly stuck at the camp with the explosives. What do I have to do when I chosed the explosives with the F6 menu? Do I have to hover over the red smoke to load it (if so... then my nightmare came true - I never managed to load the water in the Crazy Horse campaign).

Just did a test flight. Really great work with the voice records and the whole atmoshpere. I like it so far. Keep on the good work.

Thank you very much.

I'd also like to try the mission but the "Upuaut's cargo & objects" dropbox link is down as already mentioned in this thread. Is there another link to get this mod? Or is this the "updated" Cargo & Object mod which should do the trick? http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=124251

After a longer break I returned to DCS and the Huey and I was looking for new camapigns. Luckily I found Bay of Hogs :-) I only finished the first mission so far (took me some attempts) but I like the story driven design and the Tasks. All that unexpected stuff makes it very interesting. Thank you for your work. However, I'm not sure if it's my english or something else, but I don't quit get it what I have to do in mission 2 at the airfield. I think I should fly there with quick speed above 50m but I can't see an object which my crew should take out. Or do I have to land? I suppose not because of the 60 seconds. Anyway, I fly there but I ain't quite sure where to go exactly. So I of course get shot down after a while due to the massive fire. Since I also didn't find a video on YouTube, I'm pretty lost ;-) Hopefully somebody can give me a hint in how to complete mission 2.

Danke für die Info. Da ich länger DCS Pause gemacht habe, kann ich gut warten ;-) Es wäre nur gerade ein "nice to have" gewesen.

Leider habe ich den Weekend Sale für Gazelle/Nevada verpasst und war doch etwas enttäuscht, dass ich es gestern um einen Tag verpasst hatte. Vielleicht können mir die langjährigen DCS User aus Erfahrung sagen, ob nächstens wieder mit einem Sale zu rechnen ist? So weit ich weiss, gibt es ab und zu spezielle Angebote?

Thank you. It did not really help in my case, but I noticed that if I attack the rebels behind the barrel, then the convoi will attack the rebels in the house (and they've got 'em which triggered the next event).

I ran into a problem with the Aurora mission on the Huey campaign. It seems like an even won't be triggered. When I contact the convoi on frequency 235, they start moving to the city. Then they stop and tell me to watch for the rebels. The convoi most of the time shoots the rebel behind the barrels, but there seem to be more rebels in a building left to it. And there's the problem. They don't leave the building and there's no way to shoot 'em. No matter what I do, the mission stays stuck there. In my very first attempt, it worked fine (but I was shot afterwards). But in my additional 5 or 6 attempts, I always run into this problem. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Vielleicht weichen wir etwas vom Thema ab, aber das "Problem" mit DCS ist ähnlich, wie bei vielen heutigen Renn-Simulationen. Die Entwickler wollen eine "breite Masse" ansprechen und programmieren deshalb ein Grundgerüst, in welches dann Flugzeuge (oder Autos) aus verschiedenen Epochen kommen. Schön, so hat der WWII Fan ein Flugzeug, der Jetpilot hat etwas zum spielen und der Heli Pilot bekommt auch was. Nur, er kriegt nicht das volle Programm. Wie schon erwähnt, haben Dora/Kurfürst keine richtigen Gegner. Es hat auch keine Bomber oder eine explizite WW2 Karte. In Renn-Simulationen ist es noch bedeutend schlimmer. Ich kriege einen Wagen von 1967 und eine Strecke - und wie soll ich damit eine Meisterschaft machen? Aber mit DCS geht es in eine ähnliche Richtung. "Glücklicherweise" bin ich noch Neueinsteiger und kann mich nach wie vor mit der Huey Kampagne beschäftigen. Aber wenn ich diese abgeschlossen habe, was bleibt dann? Immerhin gibt es noch Mods, aber mir wäre halt lieber, wieder einmal eine Sim zu erhalten, die nicht weder Fisch noch Vogel ist.

Die Preisgestaltung finde ich bei DCS generell eher "hoch", aber man muss sich auch bewusst sein, dass sich das ganze an eine Zielgruppe richtet, die sicher bereit ist, dies zu bezahlen. Im weiteren kriegt man DCS 2 dafür wieder gratis und die bestehenden Module sind weiterhin kompatibel. Insofern hat man bereits einen deutlichen Mehrwert. Jedoch würde ich mir für die 40.- und die neue Map auch gleich noch neue Missionen wünschen. Wer nicht zwangsläufig Multiplayer spielen will, kriegt bei DCS aus meiner Sicht etwas zu wenig Content. Und bei den User Files gibt es momentan auch nicht enorm viele Kampagnen. Ob ich mir die Karte kaufen werde, kann ich noch nicht sagen. Sie sieht zwar toll aus, aber ohne Kampagne für den Huey nützt die mir wenig, da ich nicht nur "just for fun" rumfliegen will. Sonst könnte ich mir auch den MS Flight Simulator holen. Da brauche ich schon ein paar Missionen und klare Aufgaben um motiviert zu sein. Andererseits....die Karte sieht halt wirklich grandios aus ;-) Die Verschiebung finde ich nachvollziehbar, wenn auch für den Kunden "schade". Andere Publisher releasen ihr Produkt auf Gedeih und Verderb und patchen nach oder lassen Features weg, was aber oft auch nicht gut ankommt (Assassins Creed Unity, NHL 15....). Da warte ich lieber noch.

I'm glad I found this old thread. I went through exact the same troubles yesterday, flying to the north over the mountains, not finding the landing zone. So I was already wondering if I didn't understand how ADF is working ;-) However, it would still be helpful if somebody could post a picture of the location on the "F10-map". I don't want to fly another hour into the wrong direction. At least the heading 070 and the 43 nm seems very helpful. I'll give it a try. Edit: 077 did the trick ;-) Once you know this, you'll also be able to set the ADF correctly. Like John_C_Fleet mentioned, there are two ADF very close together.

Thanks again. I'll study and try it this evening. Let's see if I'll survive longer now ;-) These are some good hints which are never told in all those tutorials on youtube...

Thank you very much for clarification and for the hints :-) Staying outside the 10 miles doesn't seem easy all the time though when the bogies use radar jammer and when multiple planes are coming towards you. Well, still a lot of practice needed. My last "sim" before DCS was ATF which is a while ago and which was quite simplified (it for sure gave a warning signal when heatseakers were fired) ;-) At least I now know that I have to carefully watch the enemy fighter and that I should never let him to my six.

I'm fairly new to DCS, but I already watched many video tutorials about the F-15C and I read through the manual. So I already knew the "basics" like start, landing, radar, navigating and firing. However, I most probably didn't completely understand the TEWS. Very often I'm suddenly "shot down" but I never saw a missile on the TEWS. The manual says there should be a "Flashing lower semi circle" and the picture shows an "M" in it. In fact I never know what hit me. Was it a guided missile and if so, why didn't it show up? Or was it an heatseaker (do they appear on the TEWS or not?). So if I don't know that somebody has been fired, how shall I do countermeasures? Sure, there are warning sounds, but some are only because you're locked on. I don't "hear" the differences so far. Unfortunately I also dind't find a good tutorial about this topic yet. Last but not least: When do I turn on/off the ECM? I always turn it on as soon as I have bogies on the radar. But why should I ever turn it off anyway? I hope somebody can give me some help on this. Otherwise I don't even have to bother starting a campaign :cry:
