The strange thing is, it only happens in the late afternoon. No problems in the evening and now I also just finished 2 hours working on my mission.

I am being kicked right out of the game on a daily basis now with the DCS Login Session expired error. This is starting to get annoying. dcs.log

Hi! I would like to introduce my CWG Sandbox. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3344728/ It is basically 70, yes seventy, quick missions rolled into one mission file. Each slot equals one quick mission. The tasks range from simple intercepts, to deep strikes into highly defended enemy territory. All SAM sites provided by the map are populated with the correct SAM type (to the best of my knowledge). In total there are 50 quick missions for USAFE, RAFG and Luftwaffe and 20 quick missions for Soviet and GDR forces. Mission distances range from 70 to 700 nautical miles. USAFE A-10A 5 slots operating our of Wiesbaden (FOL) A-10C II 5 slots operating out of Sembach F-4E 5 slots operating out of Ramstein F-4E 5 slots for pseudo F-4G operating out of Spangdahlem F-15C 5 slots out of Bitburg F-16C 5 slots for a pseudo F-16A operating out of Hahn RAFG Harrier 5 slots for pseudo GR.3 operating out of road bases Harrier 5 slots for pseudo GR.5 operating out of road base and Gütersloh F-4E 5 slots for pseudo FGR-2 operating out of Gütersloh Luftwaffe F-4E 5 slots for a pseudo initial and Peace rhine F-4F out of Bremen (stand-in for Wittmund) and Pferdsfeld NVA LSK-LV MiG-21 5 slots out of Peenemünde and Laage GSSD MiG-21 5 slots out of Damgarten and Wittstock MiG-29 5 slots out of Merseburg Su-25 5 slots out of Kothen Features: + 70 slots with one quick mission each + slots for A-10A, A-10CII, F-4E, F-15C, F-16C, MiG-21, MiG-29, Su-25 + realstically populated Air defense sites + F10 options to enable/disable enemy AD + F10 options to spawn enemy QRA + measures to reduce performance impact + manual in PDF format + mission overview sheet in PDF format + recommend skins list Enjoy! P.S.: You can add planes to an existing group or swap the aircraft type, as long as the initial group/unit name is not altered.

A dedicated helicopter version is in the works as well, btw.

+1 for the Nike Hercules. It is mandatory for the new Cold War map. It was the backbone of the air defense well into the 80s, Germany was basically littered with Nike sites (I had one a few km from my home). So how can it not be "time appropriate"?!?

Really looking forward to that file, as it will help us mission builders a lot. And I know how much work goes into it, I spent the last two days creating something similar for Lower Saxony alone Btw, do you happen to know, if ED will give us a Nike Hercules for the Cold War era? Imho it is absolutely mandatory.

Basically all airfields changed ownership, often multiple times. You cannot cover that and imho one doesn't need to. Is it of any relevance for the Cold War map that for instance Ahlhorn was a RAF Base with iirc Typhoons and later Meteors? Barely anyone will be interested in the Luftwaffe Sabres and Noras there either. What matters for a cold war map are the Hueys and A-10s. Same for Geilenkirchen. It is the NATO AWACS base, not an RAF base. And so forth. About Patriot - I can only speak for Niedersachsen, but none of those Nike bases were converted to Patriot use before the end of the cold war, from the data that I have seen. What I mean by this, don't make your life harder than it needs to be

I am curious, is this the correct site? As a few kilometers west there is an actual SAM site, converted to Patriot by the looks of it. Great project btw, thanks for your work!

Thanks so much @KeyserSoze62 I really love the Chinook, so this won't have been the last mission - promised Yes, QNH doesn't work yet. input of MG doesn't work at all and if I try to enter 1012 MB (the equivalent to 29.88), it shows 1050. I am looking forward when all this is implemented, also the full radio navigation

@muniman69 Thanks so much, glad you like it I see on you HSD that you didn't use the A/A Tacan, or did you switch it off for the return to base? It helps to see the distance to Reaper and adjust one's own speed accordingly imho. It'll be even more helpful once the bearing also works

Just stumbled across this post, when looking for a good polish skin. Is this skin still coming?! Been a while

As it seems, one of the aircraft updates reset all the VHF/UHF radio presets, as well as new loadouts were added, deleting the loadout in mission B07. All this is fixed now and the campaign is updated accordingly. The link remains the same: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3334349/

Insurgent fighters have mined the vital supply routes from Jalalabad to FOB Thunder and thereby cut off the base from being replenished by road. Your task is to fly 5 palettes with about 10,000lbs of supplies from Kabul to the base and on the return evacuate 6 wounded servicemen. Due to the insurgent activity, you will be escorted by Reaper21, an AH-64D Apache. Mission features: ~100 quality voice overs custom kneeboard pages internal cargo transportation dynamically changing visibilities custom ATC (do NOT use ingame ATC) detailed manual seperate audio crew briefing (thanks Nathan!) Your requirements: flightplan handling in the CDU/MFD (you will have to fly the reverse route on your way back to Kabul) setting radio frequencies on the ARC186 and the CDU use of A/A TACAN (not mandatory, but helpful to keep the proper distance to Reaper. How to is included in the manual) https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3343728/ Enjoy!

The campaign file includes the bug fix as well, but only if you downloaded it after 6 January 2024. I had a look at the loadout issue, it seems they added these new double racks for the inboard pylons. I assume that's why my original loadout was invalidated. I will also look at the radio presets that Proper Charlie mentioned above. I don't want to rule out that I messed something up, when I swapped the F1CE to the F1BE in those missions. If it is an isolated problem with just one or two missions, I will supply hotfixes, if it turns out to be something general, I'd like to wait for the F1M, as I will have to update the campaign then anyway.
