thanks!

this mission looks like fun. how do the stages work? how do you move on to the next stage or is it automatic?

thank you!

hi all! what's the current best Hornet DCE campaign? thank you!

excellent. i'll check those out. thanks very much!

Hi there. Just got into the Mosquito and it's awesome. This campaign looks like a lot of fun but wondering how much you have to know about radios/navigation to enjoy it? In some other missions the navigator handles all the radios and nav and i can just fly and fight. Curious if it's similar in this campaign or if i need to learn how to use that gizmo in the back seat? Thanks!

thanks for the reply! i am glad i posted here first and not in bugs because yes, missed that one step somehow. just noticed that camera switch above the bomb settings. thank you very much. was hoping it was something simple!

Hi all. Trying the Mosquito for the first time this weekend and really enjoying flying it. Having an issue however where the bombs (wing and fuselage) won’t drop or rockets won’t fire in any of the Mosquito missions or IA missions. Bomb stations are armed, bomb bays open (for fuselage), fuses armed, have the master arm on but the bombs never drop and rockets never fire. I can see the drop button pushing in on the stick so I know it’s bound properly. Tried on several missions but just can’t get this to work. Have read the manual and followed chuck’s guide for steps with no luck. Machine guns and cannons work fine though. Thanks for any tips!

keep at it. i fly with a T16000M with twist grip. no issues with the anti-torque functions after some practice.

Apache Warrior popped up on Amazon Prime last night. Was pretty good!

Didn't see this posted so thought i'd share. It's a great campaign. Fairly simple and straightforward. 20 missions I think and they are quick. Usually under 30 mins. Only issue is that it's in Spanish but I just go into the mission editor beforehand and use Google translate to change briefings and radio calls to English. Good for new pilots as the first missions don't really have much for air defense. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3321151/

anyone have any issues with the Afghan Bear Trap Huey campaign? I get a warning when I unzip it that there is 'extra data' and when I run it there is errors, but it does give you a mission, however in DCS under the campaign screen, the actual campaign isn't there. Thanks for any info. I have many other DCE campaigns installed that work so it seems to just be this one. edit: ah. i see it's listed under older campaigns. that could be the issue then.

excellent. i didn't even think to try and capture them. thanks!

Thanks! Ya, I figured i'd be fine once i get some credits to do some SEAD. just was meaning the early part with 0 credits. I'll try again tonight! and ya, a lot of these missions just aren't designed for helo ops with the long distances. I've been enjoying the RotorOps mission generator as the ranges are much more helo friendly.

How are you dealing with all the SAM sites? find there isn't much to hide behind.

thank you. good info!

Hello. Looking forward to trying this. Curious what you mean by ending mission and resuming. What ends a stage? When you land back at base or are destroyed? Thanks!

great news! question. how long should one allow before leaving the mission after units are destroyed? i notice sometimes I get shot down and leave the mission and some of the units i killed recently are still on the map the next time. thanks!!!

thanks!

i thought this was a persistent mission? destroyed units come back? did you edit your missionscripting file?

Hi all. Was doing the Hornet over Caucasus and was assigned a SEAD mission with a 4 ship escort. The escort never took off. We were on mission schedule so didn't leave them behind I don't think. Ended up getting jumped by a bunch of Mig-29's. This happen to anyone else? Escorts don't show up? Thanks!

How do you guys usually handle mission completion in big campaigns. was trying that campaign where you're the US trying to capture Cyprus from the Russians. 10+ packages planned by the AI. i flew my mission and made it back to the carrier, but 70% of the packages have yet to even get started yet. wondering if i should just leave the mission running for an hour or so to let them all finish?!

you can't really. for now, just add some Mi-8's in and in the mission editor switch it to an Mi-24.

any word on the Hind being added?

ive found ground fire has been strangely accurate in general. i feel like ground units, even a little AAA in the back of a Ural is firing straight laser beams at me lately in the Hind
