Hey Baltic, sorry to be a pain. This might not be a game issue. I played mission 12 a couple of days ago and it went fine other than inadvertently killing Habu! I had a windows update yesterday and replayed the mission today. This time my datalink is not working and I have no comms with Habu? I'm using 301.6 on the front display (Comm 1) and when that didn't work I also manually adjusted the radio on the left console and still no comm's. The triggers all seemed to work okay and since I had a pretty good idea what my missions were from the day before I was able to take out all the baddies without killing Habu and made it back with a 100 score....but still not sure why D/L and radio not working? Could it be something to do with the windows update??

Really enjoying the campaign by the way!! Update: I replayed the mission, this time I flew east to west on the APC on the east side of the FOB. I hit the APC and could see damage around the area. The mission progressed fine with comm's. We went RTB and I got mission complete. On checking the mission debrief I still caused damage to blue forces (wall, house and some infantry) but I did score 100. Not sure how I got full score with the friendly kills but I'll take it! If it helps others you might want to try ingress East -egress West. Was a fun mission!

Hi Baltic, someone reported a similar problem in August and it was reported fixed but I just experienced the same problem. I successfully hit the building and I successfully hit the west technical by the river and then I hit the APC east of the Utah FOB, and I was careful to ensure I was coming in the from north and egressing west. I hit the target and Darkstar (I think) says great F'king hit, and then nothing happened. I flew around the area for about 10 minutes with no communication and then decided to fly back to base with no further comm's, and when I ended the mission it said I had killed friendlies and my score was wiped out. It looks like from the debrief that the APC is around some friendlies (wall and some other assets). Thoughts? Really enjoying the campaign by the way!!

I just tried mission 3 after the last update but I still have no datalink and my GBU12's are not hitting the target in the TGP? Not sure what's wrong. I'm going to skip the mission and try the next one and see if there are still issues. I tried the track file again but its way too big. As a side note, while I'm not hitting the target in the TGP I appear to be hitting some other legitimate targets...I'm getting a lot of truck, infantry and manpad kills with the drop?? It looks like I'm hitting about a mile off the TGP target.

looks like the last update fixed all the problems! Thanks!

Hi Baltic, I'm wondering if you can take a look at this track file and see if I'm doing something wrong? I'm on mission 3. My datalink does not seem to be working. I went to list/E and it looks like it's all set up right. I don't see any other flights on the HSI and I can't get my wingman to show up. It says I'm transmitting? Also I can't seem to hit the broad side of a barn with my GBU12. I have no problem finding the tank with the TGP after entering the coordinates. I have tried multiple times from slightly different angles to make sure I'm not hitting a building or something near the tank. I tried firing the laser right after launch...waiting till 12, 10 and 8 seconds before time to impact and I'm no where near the tank. My last attempt (track file included) I seem to be about a mile off? I've played the FILO campaigns and also tried the instant action AG weapons missions and have had no problem hitting my targets. I did have an issue with the apache after the last update and I'm playing mission 3 after the last update (no issues with mission 1 and 2 which I played before the update). I'm not sure if its a bug issue or something I'm doing wrong....my bet is its me, but maybe a second set of eyes can figure it out? Thoughts? Sorry this isn't going to help but my track file is too big! Not sure why the max size is so small...none of my track files are that small!! Not sure what to do now...any ideas?

Sorry I've been away for a few days....sounds like you have found the problem. I did confirm the above and I also tried wasing to rockets on the landing pad upon startup, rather than after firing the hellfires in battle, and I crashed 3 minutes into the mission. I also played a couple other missions in the campaign with no problems at all but I haven't checked yet to see what type of rockets they were... I will do that. Thanks for all the perseverance!! You guys are great!!

With the fxo and metashader2 files do I delete all the files in the folder or just the recent dates?

Just an update. I reset the DCS settings as you advised and while my graphics look crisper (especially at 24K in the viper) the apache crashed again when I switched to rockets. I'll try the other suggestions and keep you posted! Thanks for the help. I've attached the new crash file as well. dcs.log-20250907-215416.zip

Thanks for all this. I'll work through it and yes it only happens when I switch from hellfires to rockets every time...and only in mission 1. I'm gonna start with the easy DCS settings first!! Thanks again.

Okay, I just replayed it and the game crashed. I didn't restart the game, so hopefully this is what you need. I should mention that I have played a couple of the other missions in this campaign through the mission editor...because I can't advance from mission 1 and I have had no problems. Also the FCR does not seem to be identifying any of the targets although the TADS shows them. Also the TADS does not seem to be looking at the targets that the CPG is targeting. Stone Sky thinks the issue is P and E cores? It just seems odd to me that I have no other issues except for mission 1 in the outpost campaign? Thoughts? dcs.log-20250904-225029.zip

Hi I am looking for a bit of advice/direction. My game has worked flawlessly until I started the Apache outpost campaign. I can fly the apache in all the instant action and mission files and I have all the other campaigns for the apache and have had no problems. I have many of the other aircraft and their campaigns (WW2, 4th Gen fighters and most of the rotary aircraft) and have never had any crashes. Stone Sky was kind enough to do some analysis for me and recommended I change the values on my core processors. His analysis is on the Stone Sky/ Outpost/ bugs forum (CTD). I am not a neophyte, but I'm not a computer expert either and I get a little nervous changing things in the BIOS (worried about overclocking and overheating among other things). Since it is only the one module/campaign I'm having a problem with, is it worth the risk to attempt to change the values? Is there anything else you might suggest based on Stone Sky's analysis or the log file (attached)? Thoughts? dcs.20210514-031725.crash dcs.20210514-160957.crash dcs.20210514-191401.crash

I'll give it a try......thanks for all the effort!! Much appreciated.

Here you go. I have a few but this was the last one after I ran the repair. dcs.log-20250821-202548.zip Thanks for the help by the way!!

Just an update, they told me to try some instant missions and missions which I did with no problems. I tried mission 1 again and I'm still crashing to the desktop. Not sure now if its the campaign or ED. They haven't said anymore yet either. I can't attach a track file cause the game fully crashes.
