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.

I think this is caused by the latest update, so I reported it on the AH64 forum. Thought I would advise here as well. I am crashing to the desktop on mission 1. I fire my hellfires at the technicals and as soon as I switch to rockets for the humvees I crash to the desktop. ED told me to run a full (long) repair which I did but it still crashed after the repair. Also I can see the targets in the TADS and I report a hit on all four technicals but don't see the hits on the TADS. Just a fyi.

I still have both problems. I CTD and the game sent the crash file automatically. I cant save the track file because I crashed right out of the game. I was simply switching from hellfires to rockets and then crashed. I did run the slow repair successfully but still crashing the game. Sorry should have mentioned I am playing mission 1 on the outpost campaign. I take out the ZU technical's with the hellfires and switch to rockets for the Hummvees and then I crash.

I have had the same problems (both). I haven't tried a repair yet but will. When I crashed the program sent a crash file to dcs so I didn't keep the track files. I'll run the repair and try again and keep the track file if still a problem. I'm flying mission one in outpost campaign.

Yup, got it. That solves it. Thanks guys!

Hi, I'm playing the Outpost campaign, mission 1. This worked prior to the last update. I hit the trigger point where the pilot tells the co pilot to fence in. When I use the George AI my weapons say systems not ready. I did an auto start on the chopper. I armed the weapons, then clicked on George and no weapons. I switched seats and clicked on George for piloting and no George. I saved a track file. thoughts? no systems ready with George .trk

Hi Reflected, I tried the bailout in an instant mission and still no success either with the keyboard or my bindings. I have the track file included. cant bail out .trk

I'll try that today and keep the trk file. Thanks for the quick response.

Hey Reflected, I got distracted on some other campaigns....I just tried to complete the last mission again and still can't get to bail out. I used the keyboard LCntrl +E three times and nothing, I also mapped it to a button on my hotas and tried that three times and still nothing. At least this time I kept the track file. I did open the canopy first...not sure if that is causing the problem? Don't pay any attention to how long it took me before I realized I had my flaps and landing gear down....couldn't figure out why I wasn't catching up to flight!! Thoughts?......sure hope you are coming out with a Corsair campaign soon!!! Just bought the Mosquito and the Victory campaign and having a great time flying that bird....didn't think originally that I would like it but I'm really enjoying it....need a little more training before I try the night missions!

Hi I am going to assist with the CAS mission, I entered the coordinates and switched the VHF radio (2) to channel 12 for blue 2, but I get no response...tried multiple times. I didn't record a track file...but I'll try it again and keep the trk file if I still have a problem. Has anyone experienced the same problem? Love the campaign by the way!!

Your right....I had the wrong camp...was flying over my own camp with the green smoke. Hard to fly formation fast and low and stay on top of the messages!! I'll try again...thanks for the reply.

Hi I'm having a different problem. I can find the camp no problem and I think I'm supposed to "show of force" when I find it. I flew over a number of times low and fast but nothing happens. I designated it with the piper and still nothing. Not sure if I'm doing something wrong?? Thoughts?

Just finished the campaign. I really enjoyed it. It's nice to see another campaign on the Marianna's map. I played Paradise Lost and wasn't even aware there were other islands on the map!! Nice, short campaigns with excellent use of the various weapon systems. I only had one problem on mission 11 where the wingmen didn't leave the air strip...the soldiers remained in front of the Vipers and they just remained in their stalls. Not a biggie, I flew the mission myself anyway and still did what I could. Great fun, thanks!

Thanks for the help everyone. I went with a NVME 4TB SSD drive. I can't believe the difference in the quality of the graphics.....its made a huge improvement.....and now after I save a few more toonies (that's Canadian money) I'll be able to buy the Kola map!! Again, thanks for all the help! Love this game!!

Sorry to be a pain. It looks like I don't have quite enough space on the D drive for the terrain folder. If I leave the game engine on the C drive and mklink to the terrain folder on my external E hard drive (which has lots of storage), will that impact performance?

Is that command in the system Command Prompt or is it done somewhere inside DCS?

Yes I tried it yesterday. It definitely loads slower and was a little choppy....of course at the most inopportune time. I have 2 internal drives a C and D. The entire game won't fit on either single drive. Is there any way to say put the game engine on the C drive and the maps on the D drive? I haven't been able to find an option to change where the downloads go? This would help if I could split the game between the 2 internal drives? Thoughts? Oh and thanks for the quick replies...much appreciated.

Hi, my C drive is full and I can't download the new map updates. I have an external E drive and I copied the entire game on the external drive. My concern is what, if any impacts, will there be on the game performance from playing entirely off an external hard drive? Any thoughts? Thanks MLA306

Hey thanks Reflected!!

Hi I replayed the campaign and on mission 11 when you are supposed to bail out, it doesn't seem to work. I used the keyboard Lcntrl, Lshift and C to open the canopy and then Lshift E to bailout but it doesn't work. I then tried just Lshift E and that didn't work either. So I mapped the bailout to one of my hotas buttons but still no luck. Just wondering if anyone else has had a similar problem or knows what I'm doing wrong?

No problem, I got it. I hadn't killed all the vehicles where they were setting up the air defenses. I replayed it today and got it. Thanks.
