· Mission 3 both versions: F4 timing adjusted to prevent launch.

Hi @KodiakVFA143 I’m sorry but there is nothing I can do. It is only they that can resolve it. I will send them a note but you should report again. So the problem is the laser is not visible in the NVG and FLIR in the Quest3 but visible on the monitor? Is that correct?

Hey @ATD123 Sorry I don’t fully understand. Could you please send me a track so I can see exactly what is happening, or a Tacview file. I can then get it fixed. Did it happen more than once? Do you run any mods? What level did you play at Veteran or Ace? Thanks.

Hey @PhoenixFC3 Saw your comment on Steam. Regarding mission 11 and the problem you had with AI, what level did you fly it on, was it ACE? Do you run any mods? Also how long ago did you fly it and also did you only fly it the once or did the same thing happen twice. Finally if you had a track or Tacview of the flight that would be really helpful. Sorry about all the questions but if I am aware of any issues in my campaigns, normally caused by DCS updates, I will get them fixed. Thanks for your help. Badger633 EDIT 2 July 25: Check flew mission on ACE no issues all worked as scripted. Have added additional safety provision in case AI choses not fly as expected. Will be in next update.

HI @KodiakVFA143 Thanks for the track, if you can see the laser on the Track via a monitor it is probably a Quest 3 display issue. If this is the case you should report it on the main Forum for bugs so ED is aware and can look into it and hopefully fix it. It is not something that I can fix via campaign scripting.

@KodiakVFA143 can you send using drop box or something similar. You can dm a link then so I can pick it up. So you cannot see it when you look at your track on the monitor?

@Pavletto the problem is although the TGB directs the Maverick sensor to the TGP target the Maverick has still then to create its own IR lock on the target. This a lot harder with a moving vehicle so you need to look carefully to ensure it has locked on the target and if not keep trying by uncage and cage etc. If you check your track you will see when you fired the Maverick was not locked on the moving truck. A bigger FOV will help a lot.

Hey @Pavletto Thanks for the Track, have had a look. When you released your AGM-65F you had a good TCG moving lock on the first truck. What you didn't do was ensure the Maverick display was also following, as it wasn't and went where the Maverick screen indicated on a fixed point. Suggest you firstly increase the field of view (FOV) of the maverick display so you can better see if you have a lock on your target and not some other feature. Then when you have a good moving TGP lock, which you did, select the maverick display and keep uncaging and caging until the Maverick display shows closed cross hairs actually on the moving vehicle. Then you are good to go. Hope this helps.

Hi @ATD123 You should be taking out, as directed, the two to the right, your wing will then deal with the two to the left. The wing had been scripted not to take out your two aircraft as otherwise all you would have to do is sit back and let him take care of all the aircraft, part of the challenge is for you to take out at least two of the aircraft. I attach a link to Flying Kennys fly through of the mission so you can see how it is done. You need to use your radar correctly to ensure you are targeting the correct aircraft with your long range missiles, fly aggressively so as not to be an easy target and when close up use your helmet mounted display with your AIM 9X missiles which will give you a big advantage. In the playlists on my youtube channel I have listed some great videos by others on the use of the F18 radar. Well worth a look and will help you no end. www.youtube.com/@badger633 On the basis of your comments I have revised the mission so after a few minutes if really struggling the wing will help but you will have to survive for those few minutes. This is the forth of my five campaigns which have been designed to get more challenging as you progress so cannot make it too easy. Revised mission will be in next update. Hope this helps, remember practice makes perfect

@KodiakVFA143 You can change the gain up or down using these controls. This may or may not help you. It could be a Quest 3 DCS display thing in which case you need to report to ED on the forum. As I said send me a track and I could check this end. Hope this helps.

Hey @cobragva Thanks for the kind words.

Hi @KodiakVFA143 Do not know what you mean by node? You should be using your night vision goggles. Just flew mission and laser was visible, so it is definitely firing, but I am using the Pimax Crystal though. Try adjusting the gain with your goggles. If the laser is not showing in the Quest 3 you should report it to ED on the forum. If you save a track of the mission where the laser is not visible and send to me I can check this end. Hope this helps.

Hi @KodiakVFA143 I will check to make sure the laser is still firing this end. i will confirm here when I have. Assuming it is, then have you tried to spot it with your gogs or flir or both. Are you running any mods? If so try without them. Have you tried adjusting contrast etc on the flir or gain on the gogs. Do you have a track file you could send me? Can you see the laser when in 2D. You can check this following your VR track on the monitor after. If we find the laser is firing and with no mods it is not visible for you on the Quest then we both need to log it as an issue with ED to fix. In the past from time to time when ED has made updates, the laser has been almost invisible in the Pimax ( what I use). Will be in touch but please send me your track. Thanks.
