Nice find. It could be really helpful in fixing this problem. Thanks.

Exactly. In certain campaign combat conditions, it's a big challenge for me without labels.

Thanks for asking ED. Due to limitations of a monitor, the "size" of the planes reproduced in the monitor, the not always optimal configurations of contrast, brightness etc., old age (I'm 62 and my eyesight is definitely decreasing), now even for me activating "labels" in certain combat contexts has become necessary. I hope ED solve it soon. And yes, I fly your missions many times separately from the campaign, they are an irreplaceable training. Thanks again.

Awesome work! Big THANKS to all HB team.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Mission Complete. I love flying the F-14B, but this plane, this campaign, are simply overwhelming. The level of teaching and learning is remarkable. Great job. Thank you so much for making it possible to be part of the first class of the 1969 TopGun course.

Please Reflected, is there also another shortcut to move on to the next exercise of the mission? Thanks in advance.

Oh, thank you, I'll try asap.

Sorry, I'm still here. This time I'm trouble with MIG Killers campaign - Event 02 02a Departure: ok 02b Pure Pursuit: ok 02c Lag Pursuit: ok 02d Lag Roll: after the maneuver the sim doesn't allow me to "repeat task" or "move on" to the next one. The sim simply makes me exit the mission and shows me the debriefing window. And I can't even press "end mission" because this message appears "your progress will be lost ..." and takes me back to the campaign screen. I repeated this mission in the campaign several times, always with the same problem. I flew the 02d Lag Pursuit mission several times also via ME and I didn't encounter any problems, but in the campaign it makes me exit to the debriefing and I can't save the result. Thanks in advance for your attention. I attach screenshots. Screen_240831_190910.bmp Screen_240831_190931.bmp Screen_240831_190944.bmp I just saw Reflected's response in another post. Waiting for the fix. Sorry.

Thank you very much for help. I always noticed that the response to the drag chute release was missing and I wondered why. It's a procedural error of mine in the drag chute release. During the F-4E training missions at a certain point I started (and I don't know why) to release the drag chute simply by lowering the handle, instead of pressing the button. In the sim the drag chute is released anyway and this prevented me from noticing and correcting this my procedural error. Flash tells Soupy "... don't be stupid", but I'm stupid. Excuse me. Anyway, I'm very happy I corrected it. Thanks again.

Reflected, thanks for reply. Another flight with the same result. Here are the screenshots of my message history. Screen_240822_162106.bmp Screen_240822_162129.bmp Screen_240822_162203.bmp Screen_240822_162151.bmp Screen_240822_162213.bmp Screen_240822_162225.bmp

First of all, thank you so much for this wonderful campaign that takes me back in time. After landing it was a real surprise to find the dearming area along the taxiway, then proceed to the ramp. As always the immersion level is fantastic (I also own your campaigns for F-14). Anyway, I'm stuck on this first mission, result: "DRAW 50" and it keeps proposing the same mission, which I have now repeated 7 times with today. I read the mission documentation, I read other topics of this campaign, I tried to execute everything perfectly, but nothing changes. Here are some info about my flight: in formation with Flash, ignore engagement with USAAF F-4E, fly over PIUTE, parade with Flash at initial, break left after 5 seconds from command, post landing checks, stop at dearming point, resume taxi to ramp (tried both free slots), complete shutdown from checklist. Please, what should I do? What am I forgetting? Where am I going wrong? Thanks in advance for reply end tips.

Thanks for reporting. Considering that this is a crash fix for issues I'm not currently experiencing, I'll postpone the update until the next patch.

@ED, Dear Sirs, thank you so much for this latest update (2.9.7.58923), for fixing the issues with flight time and landings recording, with INBOUND option in carrier radio menu. Also Air Boss station (PriFli) meets my expectations at the moment. I still noticed a decrease in graphical stutter compared to the last patch (2.9.6.58056). Thanks again.

Yes, even for me. Unfortunately, from time to time the INBOUND option is no longer available for some missions, then it is available again. I don't understand, let's hope ED can soon identify the problem and give the solution.

oh ok, it's probably just a circumstance. Anyway, now Carrier ATC is working again for me and that's the important thing. Thanks.

Yes thanks, I found out where the problem was. I need to enable the 'allow airboss' option from the carrier properties window in mission editor and communications with Carrier ATC are possible again. It therefore seems that Carrier ATC is now linked to enabling the Airboss function.

Solved the problem, at least for me, with the radio menu which no longer allowed the 'INBOUND' option from Carrier ATC. You need to enable the 'allow airboss' option from the carrier properties window in mission editor and communications with Carrier ATC are possible again (you do not need to also enable 'allow LSO'). It therefore seems that Carrier ATC is now linked to enabling the Airboss function. If anyone can verify, so as to confirm and help others. THANKS.

Thank you so much, until now I couldn't figure out how to manage the AirBoss functions and then fly 'my' F-14 in the same mission. Now the Air Boss (Primary Flight) deck makes sense to me too and I can finally use speed, direction and lighting functions during the mission. Thanks again for tips.

As suggested by BIGNEWY (https://forum.dcs.world/topic/353264-patch-discussion-july-2024/page/13/#elControls_5488566_menu) - the problem of recording flight times and landings has not been solved. - new problem: radio menu > F5 (ATC) > F1 (CVN-71) > only F11 (Previous menu) or F12 (Exit), the INBOUND option no longer appears. I attach track and debriefing.log of 3 takeoff/landing from CVN-71 which highlight the above. Test in Mariana + SC + F-14. Thanks for the attention. 2024 07 23 17.00 MA CVN-71 F-14B CQ.trk 2024 07 23 17.00 MA CVN-71 F-14B CQ.log

ED, first of all thank you for your efforts in fixing the bugs in the latest update. After fix patch 2.9.6.58056: - the problem of recording flight time and landings has not been solved. - the graphic stutter has decreased a little. - new problem: radio menu > F5 (ATC) > F1 (CVN-71) > only F11 (Previous menu) or F12 (Exit), the INBOUND option no longer appears. test in Mariana + SC + F-14. Thanks for the attention.

Before patch 2.9.6.57650 DCS was quite smooth, even on my non-latest generation PC. After the update I generally found consistent graphic stutter, especially on carrier deck and immediately after takeoff (Mariana + SC + F-14B). Bin-mt, NO New Launcher, Track-IR, NO MODs, Single player.

Thanks for writing that. It happened to me with SC and F-14 but I forgot to point it out.

I'm here too. For years, like perhaps many others, I have been waiting for the possibility of modifying the steer, speed and light's carrier. Then in 2020 the announcement of SC with a future AB deck... and now in 2024, I still find myself unable to easily change the steer, speed and light's carrier. Please, can someone explain clearly how to use the AB (Primary Flight) deck? It seems like you need to assign a slot. I essentially fly offline due to internet connection problems. Wasn't it easier to allow everyone to modify light's carrier using ME, advanced (waypoint actions) as is done with TACAN (activate or deactivate)? Couldn't it have been implemented in the F10 map, unit data window, and allowing the carrier steer and speed to be modified more accurately? Sorry, I don't want to raise controversies and useless debates, and I'm grateful for the great work done by the ED, but the question remains the same: flying offline, how do I change the steer, speed and light's carrier, going from f-14B cockpit to the AB deck? Thanks in advance.

Dear ED Team, thank you so much for this substantial update. It will take some time, at least for me, to try everything, fixed, improved or new. Thanks to everyone who contributed to this update. It will certainly still take some time to fix some new problems, but the premises seem really interesting. I encountered some problems, which I will report in the specific topics. Thanks again.
