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.

I have flown over the village and killed everything. I get the message to drop the smoke for the incoming flight but it never happens. I used F10 to tell Tom to drop the smoke but still nothing. I tried landing but that didn't work either. I'm guessing there is a soldier somewhere that I haven't killed yet but I can't find anyone and no one is shooting at me anymore. Any ideas? If you haven't come across this one yet I'll fly it again and keep the track file. Thoughts? Really enjoying the campaign and love the immersion with this current mission, very cool!

Just finished the last mission. The only problem I had was the radio not working on the tower on the return to Batman on the last mission. Really enjoyed the campaign and can hardly wait till you come out with an Afghanistan campaign.....or any other map for that matter!!

Yes same issue here. I completed the mission and landed safely and got the mission success queue and when I exited it still show "active".

I'm pretty sure this is an ED issue. I played the map before the last update with no issues..and failed (sigh). I updated DCS yesterday and tried mission 3 again today. I get to the runway and ask for clearance to takeoff but there is an F16 on the runway (guessing flight lead) and he just sits there and never takes off. I am really loving this campaign, I'm an F18 guy and just learning the F16 and in the first 2 missions have already learned a great deal. The immersion level and the coordination with the other flight members is excellent. I flew red flag first which was an excellent introduction to the F16 and I would highly recommend you fly that campaign before this one. This campaign will take your skillset to the next level!! Great Job.

Worked great, thanks for the help man!!

Hi I've read a number of other threads and just want to confirm before I start copying and deleting stuff and potentially causing myself worse headaches. I don't have enough space on my C drive for the latest update, but I have 931GB available on my D drive. My DCS folder on the C drive is 692 GB. If I copy my DCS folder to the D drive and delete the version on the C drive will that fix my problem. I understand that I will need to run the updater in slow mode and remap my shortcuts. Is that all I have to do and will it work?? Thoughts?

Yes it says rearming complete and I can see the weapons on the pods as well as in my inventory. I just can't activate them. When I hit A-G it doesn't pull up the normal arming screen it just pulls up the inventory screen and I can't do anything with it. I'll try again and track the file. Tx for responding!

Hi, I'm having trouble with the optional Gauntlet Ops at the start of mission 1. I get it to launch okay. I then get the ground crew to rearm for the target which works okay. When I get into the air nothing is working. I select A-G and I can see the weapons but I can't select any of them. The TGP is off, and the weapons show as off. I have all the hardpoints on the right console turned on, and the master arm and laser are on. I've tried flying around for 5 minutes to see if everything just needs to warm up but it doesn't change. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

Got it, thanks Sandman!

I am trying to buy this campaign and the new apache horsemen campaign but the buy button does not appear. I have 4 others in the cart. I'm just having problems adding these two to the cart? Thoughts?

figured it out. My sklar designate undesignate mapping was missing. Remapped and everything back to normal.

For anyone interested. I recently upgraded from my TM 16000M. I had a TM16000 for about two years and the TDC axis began to drift, I believe because of continually pushing the TDC depress button. I dampened the drift with the curvatures and remapped the TDC depress button which worked for a little while, but eventually the axis drift made the game unplayable. I bought a new TM16000M to replace the old one...because I'm cheap and was relatively happy with the first. The new one came with the same TDC axis drift problem right out of the box! So I did a lot of research (forum and you tube) and decided to buy the VKB standard and Gladiator flight stick. I went with VKB standard because it comes with extra buttons in case any wear out. You can also reconfigure the stick and throttle if you don't like the placement of the buttons. I've only been using it about 3 months now but am very impressed with the quality and functionality. It's kind of mid range from a price perspective but it's the only one that I could find that comes with extra interchangeable buttons. I still have to set up detents for my jet fighters, and am relearning most of my aircraft due to my new mapping, but I am loving the VKB solution. I contemplated a second Gladiator flight stick instead of a Throttle because you can lock the horizontal axis on the Gladiator and use it as a throttle, but I am glad I went with the VKB Standard throttle as it has a whole lot more functionality. If I was just flying choppers and warbirds I think I would consider two Gladiator flight sticks. Is anyone else using that configuration?

Hi, I was playing the Mad campaign up until mission 5 with no problems. After the last update I can no longer lock my targets in the Sklar. I tried an instant action as well as a mission file and the tracking does not seem to work in any kind of mission. I checked my controls and the lock target button is mapped....and worked up until about a week ago. Any thoughts? I've attached a couple of mission track files. Thanks lock target KA50 .trk lock target KA50 mission .trk

I'm having a similar problem since the last update. I can't lock a target. My binding says the lock target button is working when I go into the controls but when I'm in the game I can't lock. I'm playing the Mad campaign mission 5 but I also went into the instant action menus to the shooting range and can't get it to lock either. I didn't track it but I will play it again and add the track file. Any one else having a similar issue?

Tried the ACLS and just instruments a few times and finally had to skip. Close but no cigars!! Was fun trying though!

Yah I figured that! No worries just wanted to ensure someone was aware......loving the campaign so far....mind you that first mission was nasty!! Thanks again!

Hey Badger. I'm on mission 5 and on deck my wingman gets stuck behind the Hornet beside him and can't get around it. I tried multiple times and it occurs every time. Any thoughts? Only started after the last update! Thanks.

Hey sorry for taking so long to get back to you Skeet! You guys were absolutely right. I'm not sure how the radar elevation got bound to a button, it wasn't me that bound it. But I cleared it and the trouble went away. Completed my mission with no hiccups! Thanks for the help, much appreciated. Not sure I would have ever figured it out on my own!

I'm still having the same problem. I bound the FOID/Raid button and tried the mission again. I tried using the bound key in the mission and then tried just using the button on the MFCD and neither one worked. You can see the screen momentarily switch to MFOV and NFOV but then quickly switches back to WFOV and the zoom button doesn't work at all? Not sure what to try now? Here's the track file again. I also noticed that the last update changed all my bindings for the Viper....I'm wondering if there is a similar issue with the Hornet although everything else seemed to work as usual. I'll start by checking all my bindings. Any more thoughts? No Mfov or Nfov .trk

Hey thanks man! I follow. I'll give it a try. Thanks again for the help!

I do not have them binded. I do have the tgp as soi with the diamond. I am able to move the camera to the harbor and lock up the target. I can also switch from tv to ir mode. I'm not sure I follow your suggestion. Should I map that button? I'm just using the mfcd, not my stick or throttle. Thoughts?

Hi, I am having trouble in ROTPL2 mission 4. I am targeting a ship in the harbour at wpt 2 (designated as target) but I can't get the targeting pod to switch from WFOV to either MFOV or NFOV and also the zoom button isn't working. I am just using the buttons on the MFCD, I don't have any of them mapped, and I can't get it to switch views. Can someone look at the track file and see if you can figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have tried the mission a number of times to no avail! Badger has looked at is as well and doesn't have the same problem when he flies it and he doesn't think it is a mission editor issue. Thoughts? No Mfov or Nfov .trk

Thanks Badger, I'll post it to ED as a bug question. I have the track file. I'm still having the same issue. Here it is if you want to review it. No Mfov or Nfov .trk
