Sorry if this was already addressed. Decided to try the campaign and am one the first mission with the carrier quals. I'm assuming something is supposed to be triggering because nothing seems to be happening after I've done my three landings. I've looked at some videos on Youtube and it seems that my RIO should be briefing me after each landing but nothing happens.

I had that. Thought it was just part of the game. Out of the blue, decided to up the resolution for cockpit display and that unblurred them.

I'm still having issues.

I've run a repair, deleted and reinstalled the Nevada map, nothing has worked; none of the airfields have runway markings.

I've restarted and loaded other maps, marking haven't come back.

I mean, if one little post from a junior poster put a damper in their motivations to remedy alienating popular non-game breaking mods that add things that should already be in the game to begin with,, they have bigger issues.

I don't understand where you're coming from. I'm saying it was dumb for ED to encrypt it.

I've been wondering what the point/purpose of them changing the files like that.

Same here. Makes it sound not very good, even compared to the old sounds.

I do wait for the X to disappear. But after watching the latest version of your tutorial, I might be releasing too high.

Need some insight/help: I've followed the tutorials posted: CCIP, Radar Altimeter on, steep angle... My bombs are always falling short. I even dove practically straight down and still the bombs fell short. Even practiced on an airfield with a ginormous hangar that a blind man could hit; bombs still fell short.

We need some counter-insurgency or counter-drug missions for this, now.

That worked, thanks.

The link doesn't work, it says "File is in owner's trash."

Hatches were partially the issue. The Air Force never bothered to change anything about the flight routes being flown. They also decided to fly without Prowler support. Underestimation of the Serbians probably played a part. Complacency got the F-117 shot down. https://www.google.com/amp/s/theaviationgeekclub.com/an-in-depth-analysis-of-how-serbs-were-able-to-shoot-down-an-f-117-stealth-fighter-during-operation-allied-force/amp/

Well, the Serbians shot one down with an SA-3 so anything is within the realm of possibilities.

EDIT: Disregard: issue was a stuck button on the throttle.

EDIT: figured it out. I had to add .\ in front to "trust" the command. Now though, the program is saying it is up to date but still no F-14A.

No, just let DCS do the work for you. Go to your start menu and type "CMD", or, better even, go into your DCS folder, click on bin, so that it is highlighted, then hold left shift and left ctrl and right click on it -> select open powershell window here (or cmd window on older windows versions). Then, when the command window is open type in "dcs_updater.exe udpate @openbeta" including spaces and without the "" of course. Then hit enter. DCS will then update to openbeta for you, and you dont need to do a thing. So, I've tried to do this but all I've gotten is an error message in the window saying "the term dcs_updater.exe is not recognized" even though it's in the folder.

I've been having similar issues with the Georgia Hammer CA campaign. I haven't been able to pass the first mission because of crashes, and it is always at random times, no matter what I am doing.

You'd think the Russians would be employing a targeting pod by now, so you wouldn't have to dive at the target. Still, read alot about the actual Su-34. Should be a nice addition. I wonder if they modeled the galley, toilet, and sleeping mat :D

Now we are shoehorning the P-51 in order to justify its exsistence in this game. Don't necessarily mind the P-51, but if you are going to base your entire game series on a modern day conflict in Georgia than modules like the P-51 are pretty dumb, and a waste of resources that could have gone into making a craft that people have shown interest in in the begining and that fits in the setting. No one can control what third parties do (UH-1 and MiG-21 in that part of the world in the modern day setting don't exactly score high on the "good idea" scale) but let's not get blinded by the shiny object dangling infront of us.

Well, speaking as a guy who has deployed twice with a Hawk unit there is more to a Hawk than dropping troops off. Often, we did things like MEDEVAC chase (pretty much filling in as an escort), CASEVAC, covering convoys, landing near convoy to pick guys up, landing near a suspicious vehicle etc, route security (looking for IED emplacers and the like) etc. But to be honest, I would much rather see a Hind. At least it fits better in the region of the world DCS is currently in. As it stands now, the P-51 and any Huey but the version used by the Turks is pretty much out of place in this at the moment.

Not true. I had to reinstall BS2 1.2.0 a couple times and lost a couple activations. No, it stems from companies knowingly releasing bugged products so as to keep dangling the carrot in front of everyone. I'm sorry, but you don't release something with a known FPS issue until it's fixed.
