Removing Player F-15E has stopped the crash! Many thanks. Now to rebuild this with a new (F-15E unit). I really appreciate this so much, thank you for your help. Owe you a drink for that one Keep you posted and sorry for the late response, my notifications did not work although I checked every day All the best Stevie

Great, let me try this...

Looks like error from ED side, campaign should have been updated to newer version with fixes and hot/cold start versions added. This has not happened and as you mentioned campaign progress has been deleted too, aaarrrrrrr! Im sorry about this and feel your pain. Working with ED to correct this asap.

Looking into this now for you although the update is out of our hands im afraid. You can always skip missions if neccesary to get back to your position?

Hi, Reviewing the mission now. All seems ok in editor. Wingman will bomb first tower when pushed by player. On destruction of first tower wingman proceeds to bomb second tower Will fly today and confirm

Hi, This seems to be a recent issue. Has worked fine so far, maybe open beta update has changed this? Let us check and get back asap. Thanks

Hi, Sorry about that, looks like you done a nice job up to that point in the mission too. We've now fixed this and the campaign is due to be updated anyday. Thanks for your patience

Could really do with some help - Not sure why but this F-15E mission now crashes on loading up from the ME. See crash log Thanks dcs.log dcs.log.old

Agreed - more enemy ground assetts like troop with skins for Isis, Al Queda and other factions would be great. The newly added Scout vehicles are superb!

Many thanks for taking the time to positively feedback on the campaign. Some of these points have been fixed... - Now added, Updates sent to ED, out with next update I hope - Mission 13 is being edited to accomadate this. Coming soon. - Will call on you to do some testing next round, thank

We have made it as easy as possible for you Tanking not mission critical, although will affect not receiving highest score Tanker holds straight line pattern at best speed On Screen messaging shows speed of tanker Tanker does nt operate in cloud, orbits, too slow speeds Some practice maybe neccesary for you as a player but we will bear your comments in mind... Thanks

We would like to announce that due to user feedback we are creating HOT START versions of each and every mission. Work is progressing well and we will announce once all versions are ready. Thank you for your support and understanding Looking Glass

Sorry we seem to have overlooked these feedback points from users. Looking at this now...

We've started work on creating hot start versions of the missions. Initially we thought it could be done quite easily but after completing mission 1 we realised that it may take hours per mission to set up and test. Although we can do this it will take sometime since we are committed to creating new camapaigns as well. Thanks for your support

Thats a fair point and we do actually agree with you, we love hot starts. Ideally we could have both but as mentioned DCS does not acommadate this and making dual mission or dual slots was just far too much work. Will bear this in mind as I do agree on the vocal nature of some players who made thier voices heard on this issue and it seemed sensible to accommodate them. Leave it with us and we will see if anything can be done. We may create both version now that the campaign bugs have been ironed out. Thanks for the feedback, appreciate it

Hi, Thats great feedback. Thank you for taking the time to go through these points in detail. We will list all of these points and work through them one by one inorderto improve them. Would you like to test future missions for us?

Yeah, have had to revisit this issue half a dozen times. All programmed correctly in Mission Editor but once in game things work out differently for unknown and un seen reasons. Will check it out and see if it can be fixed Thanks

Great work, sounds like you nailed it! Mmmm, tanker should be available for egress/recovery stage. Will add it to list

Hi Key Stroked, Due to numerous feedback from users we made all of the missions cold starts around version 1.5. Also, due to the platform constraints we could not make dual start versions (hot start and cold start options) for the missions. We can only apologise for this and as you rightly pointed out we advertised one of the main campaign features to be hot starts. We can only suggest that you use the autostart feature and fast forward time to speed up the mission starts. I know this can be frustrating so please accept our sincere apologies LG

All missions are cold start

yes, this seems to be a bug with newer DCS versions. Thanks will add it to the list

How many players should this be for? A campaign made for multi players would not work without ALL players being involved. Let us know

Hi, Glad you are enjoying the campaign and thanks for the feedback. We never knew how users would find it until a few months after release so cheers! We work hard on our campaigns and also responding to users feedback, trying to make campaign player friendly to as many as we can. Yeah, VR does finds its match performance-wise on busy airbases like Incirlik, with statics and units moving around and fancy weather/atmospheric settings too. Frame-wise, we are about the same, we can maintain 45-55 fps (4090 system) on busy airbase (Incirlik). Have seen the performance actually improve despite ALL of the new features and settings for DCS added since start of production of campaign (clouds, weather, new lighting) Overall happy performance wise, really only the odd slower jitter on base/taxi legs now and then. Thanks again

Hi, Follow the onscreen instructions, which at WP2 ask you to refuel after Jackal flight (RAF Tornados) have refuelled, from the tanker in your formation. You should not require TACAN however TACANS are 72Y I believe as per kneeboard. Hope that helps

You can use your wingman to join/start the attack. Use your cluster bombs to stop and hit the convoy, we drop both at once. Then use rockets and guns to clean up any stragglers. Hope that helps
