Love all your campaigns! It appears I'm the only guy that is having problems with mission 12....no matter what I try I can not hit the target. I have tried waiting till 5 - 10 seconds after being in range before releasing. I drop both bombs leaving time between drops and still come up short or miss entirely! Even tried staying above the AAA in the clouds and releasing from a straight on approach and still miss! Any tips/ideas? Never mind....I may have forgot to depress the TDC after slewing the target!!

I like the campaign but am only on mission 7. I find that I'm in the middle of a battle and a 15 second time limit comes up and it's over with no winner. I must be missing a trigger somewhere but not sure where. In 7 I get to the top of the mountain range, I fire at the SAM and it's shooting at me and the 15 second warning comes up and game over right in the middle of the battle? Anyone know what I'm doing wrong. I watched someone else play it on YT but I'm obviously missing something. Same thing happened on mission 6. Finally just skipped it even though I was down to the last 3 tanks coming in. Never mind...finally beat the mission!!

Absolutely, I just finished it and it was one of the best I've played. Great fun and a terrific use of the Marianna's map and a very good/fun Vietnam like storyline....I loved the Apocalypses now missions!! Fantastic work reflected!!

Yeah just completed the campaign and I really enjoyed it. Didn't think I would like the Huey, but I actually love it. I played this campaign first and did well, also worked flawlessly on my first playthrough. I'm doing paradise lost now. If you like the Huey, you will love these campaigns! I like how this campaign bounced you around the Gulf map a bit...got to see some different locations!

no worries, thanks guys. As long as I don't lose the purchase I can wait.....got lots of other missions to fly!!

Yeah I'm on 2.7.11....so do I upgrade? I haven't seen an option to go to 2.7.12?

Hi I bought A10C Agile Spear on order number 1477094 along with 3 other campaigns. The other three showed up and installed but nothing for Agile Spear? Any ideas? I ran the DCS repair and update executables but still nothing?

I just bought a new computer that came with windows 11. I loaded DCS on the weekend and haven't tried all the modules yet but of the ones I have it has been fine.

Trigger guard.....sigh.......I've been trying to figure this out since day 1!! Tx for the help!! I've had active pause on, flipping every button can I think of....except that one.

It finally went...but took quite a long time?? Seems a lot slower than b4. But it did finally start up.

I'm getting hung up on auto start on egi alignment...it never moves past it. I didn't have any problems until I downloaded the new patch.

I'm still not sure how to use George the most effectively. As CPG should I map my controls to the tedac rather than the hocas and let George fly? If you map to the hocas then I guess you use the buttons on the tedac for control. As CPG if you are using the hocas then not sure how you control the bird when trying to use the tedac? Has anyone else fussed with this and come up with a good conclusion? I guess an option would be to use the hocas and use a modifier to use the same controls for the tedac...but that starts to sound a little overwhelming!! Thoughts?

Hey thanks for sharing this guys! I was starting to get a little overwhelmed. I like the zoom on the throttle personally and use the stick for the rudder, but other than that you guys are pretty consistent. This will save me a lot of time and trial and error!! Thanks Again.

I figured out my problem. I'm on Wifi. I adjusted my antenna a bit and problem solved. Downloaded in about 20 minutes. Got my new AH64D as well. Unfortunately I hit a tree on my first flight out!! No worries though I'm pretty sure I can buff out the scratches. Nice work on the Apache ED...well worth the wait!! Night and day from the old Janes longbow for you that are as old as me to remember it!! Just need some campaigns now...although I think I'm going to be in flight school for a while yet!! Impressive work ED!!

I'm having the same problem. I'm d/Ling at 100Kbps on average. Can't even get an ETA. My updates are always slow. It's a new computer on Starlink for network. My d/l speed is normally in the 50Mbps range for all other services. My computer says win 10 already has auto tune enabled. Any other ideas? I'm on my second straight day and night trying to update. Should have added it starts out at 3-5Mbps for the first few megs of data and then drops right off.

I've got the old Janes manual...would be nice to start studying!!

Sorry, probably a dumb question, but I have 2.7.9 beta installed and I still have the older 2.7.5 (I think it was). Can I delete the older version without hurting the new version? It looks like they are totally duplicated in my folders but I don't want to take a chance on totally screwing up my campaigns? Are new versions supposed to replace the old version? Like I said, mine seemed to create a complete duplicate of the game. Thanks.

Thanks guys, I re ran the repair utility with the slow method and it worked. I am back up and flying!! Thanks for the help.

Oh sorry, and I don't use VR. Hi I ran the dcs repair module. I restarted the computer and tried to launch the game. I think it got worse. The game doesn't even launch now, I just get a message that says "important files damaged: bin/cockpitbase.dll. It also says it created a log so I have attached it. dcs.log dcs.log.old

Hi, thanks for the quick response. Here are the logs. dcs.log-20211230-213431.zip dcs.log-20211230-213713.zip dcs.log-20211230-213954.zip dcs.log-20211230-214201.zip dcs.log-20211230-214647.zip dcs.log-20211230-215221.zip dcs.log-20211230-224649.zip Oh sorry, and I don't use VR.

Hi, I had some problems upgrading to 2.7.9. I finally turned my firewall off (which I've never had to do before) and it looks like it installed okay. I tried to play and the game authorizes and launches okay and I get to the main screen and when I click on anything, campaign, mission, instant play or training the game crashes. Each time it created a crash report and I sent it off. Hopefully you can figure out what when wrong? Thanks.

Cool thanks!! I should have done a little searching on my own, but I just happened to look for this issue this morning after playing last night. Thanks for the links. I'll look for the logs and attach them.

I only play on DCS ED, I don't use steam, I have a I7, 1080 card and I don't crash ever. I played a user file campaign last night for the first time for F18 hornet and it started out with a very slow frame rate and then crashed on take off (not the plane). I turned down a number of the settings in options which seemed to help a bit with the taxi, but still crashed once I got in the air. I also don't have any mods (unless downloaded campaigns from the user files count as mods?). I don't use VR, only trackir. And I have no idea how to create a log, report a crash, run a cleaup or a repair? Any suggestions? I haven't tried turning my settings way down ( I went down to 80%), but I'm not sure why I should have to when the only time I have had a problem was with the syria map?

I'm having similar problems...I can kill all the targets, there are none left showing on F10. The bombers and hinds have all done their thing. I do not get a RTB, and if I RTB the Hinds are hovering over the airfield and never land.

Thanks ChillNG....I think I figured it out. I was using F10 but I had easy comm's still enabled...once I took that off it worked fine. But thanks for the reply.
