Dzen - Thanks for your reply and prompt action... +1. I'm away from home until next Thursday but will give it a go then.

Arrrrgh - This is getting annoying now. I've re-done this single mission 4 times now, completing it each time. I've re-downloaded the campaign and started again upto this mission - Only for it to lock again. It just doesn't seem to want to go past this mission...

I've just completed this mission again. I checked my score and had 100% on landing. I notice that the briefing says MI24*4. Does this mean that there's two more out there?

I did shoot them both down, and landed at Gali, and got the "Mission Success" message...

Ambush Level I shot down both Hinds (although one was close to his base - I chased him back), landed and now seem to have to re-do the level. I did re-arm (anti-tank) as I prefer the missile in AA mode.

It's the number scratched into the base of the HUD. Is it just random or does it actually mean something (ED's PIN number?). It would be cool if you could mod this to read whatever you wanted...:thumbup:

Try shooting the blues..? (Put labels on until you get used to the game - then turn them off).

Like most, let me say up front that I love this game. I have two hobbies - modelling and flight simulators, and since the release of this there's no smell of glue in house (my wife is over the moon). Since the patch I'm unhappy. The modelling desk is looking inviting... I hate the way I can't re-fly a mission in campaign mode. (I know this has already been addressed in a thread - but I'm not the only one). I'm going to upset some people by saying this - but this is a game, made for enjoyment. Don't get me wrong, like most here I bought the manual, and spent about 2 weeks learning how to start this monster and to date I am still learning new things about this fantasic game. Herin lies my point - I don't know the regieme of training that a KA50 pilot goes through, but I will bet money that it is over a year... I know that real combat pilots don't get a second chance (I've been in combat - I know), but once again, it's a game - I don't have (over) a year to learn and play, I want to do it now. So what if I get it wrong... I go to the fridge, get another beer, and get it even wronger. Please ED, change this soonest - at least give us a choice. For the first time in weeks I've started to itch for the feel for a numer 2 paint brush and the feel of plastic between my fingers..!

Not often that I get called a genius! Had to show my wife...

Check your settings I noticed the same problem but had my settings set to imperial (miles) whilst the laser reads out in metric (Kilometers).

Strange one - If I load up DCS BS by using DCSMax I get the profile which I have been using for some time, with my pilot, loads of medals and my cotroller config how I like it. If I load up using the DCS BS desktop shortcut I get an old pilot (I used to use before DCSMax) with old control settings. Why does this occur? It's as if I have two completely seperate games. I was hoping to be able to stop using DCSMax since the mod, but don't want to have to re-set up all my controller settings and re-fly the campaigns...:helpsmilie:

Don't forget... ...to set your radio to 'Ground Crew' before you ask them to set up your NVG's. And definately don't forget to switch it back to VHF when you're done - lest invoke the wrath of the ground crew commander..! It also gets annoying when you're desperately trying to get your wing man to engage air defences and he can't hear you...:cry:

I hope I've PM'd back. You're right - we'll have to up the armour value to better that US or German Steel..! Come on Chobham...

Anyone out there in the modding world fancy doing a Challenger 2 (I look after the real thing) to replace either the Leopard or Abrams ? I'd be willing to give help where I can but due to security interest would prefer a PM. barra733'at'hotmail.com

PLeeeeeeeeae post this somewhere. I've been hanging around this thread for 2 months now!

Further Information Please Can anyone who uses this mod provide any further information on exactly what it does? The write up on 'lock-on files' is limited but seems to say that it removes roads! From the pictures it also seems to do something with airfields. Will it clash with the 'old russian airfield' mod? (sorry - can't remember the proper mod name).

Same Problem Here The backgrounds of the ADI and SAI show up fine, but the indication lines don't show up any more. I also had problems with the 'Map and freq card' mod - which crashes the game when installed (although in capaign mode when I click 'fly mission' the game crashes back to the debrief screen and - Hey presto! I've passed the mission...):cry:

Same Here - Dosn't work with 1.0.1 I uninstalled my mods one by one and eventually found that this one was causing crashes. :huh: Sad as I really liked the map and frequency charts.

OK, ok ... I had problems with this too until I sat down and read through the manual. 1. Land at FARP, throttle down and wheel brakes on. 2. I always open my door - I don't know if this is required but I always do it! 3. Switch radio to 'ground crew'. 4. Using the '#' key select the maintenence tab. 5. From there select what you want to do: refuel/re-arm... 6. Wait for the ground crew to let you know it's been done - it may take a few minutes. Anything I've forgotten..?

I've been playing the 1st part of the Georgian campaign all day. After a good 20 minutes blasting T-72's and air defences I retuned to the FARP, landed and re-armed. After returning to the battlefield I seemed unable to lock onto any targets or got intermittent locks with no ranges. Is my Laser burned out? How is this modelled in DCS BS, what are the time limits? Thanks :thumbup:

C. Patrick - thanks, I've done this but we both just end up following him until I lose him in the clouds. Does the wingman eventualy take him out?

Coda - How to take down the Heli I've done this mission twice now but keep losing the heli in the clouds. I dont seem to be able to keep a lock on it...:helpsmilie:

I've never needed to. When I'm in stable flight I simply push the scroll wheel up and the trim sets.:joystick:

I have one and find it very good. It feels a bit strange to start with but you'll get used to it. I also use a modified Cyborg 3d Gold as a collective/throttle and a Cyborg Gamepad and I use all of those buttons as well. I think my whole set up cost less than £50 as I bought it all off e-bay and the pad and throttle are second hand. Button (Shifted) 1 Fire missile/rocket 2 Centre Shkval (Nav lights) 3 Shkval narrow (Macro - All interior lights & tip lights) 4 Lock/Select (Anti collision lights) 5 Shkval wide (Night lighting) 6 Flares (Auto Pilot) 7 Master Arm (Altitude mode rad/baro) 8 Laser (Auto pilot mode route/track) 9 Weapons System reset (director mode) 10 Parking Brake 11 Wiper Scroll up -Trim (Shkval gate wider) Scroll down -Centre view (Shkval gate narrow) Left Throttle forward - Gear Left Trottle back - brakes Right throttle back - Descent mode Hat - view As I said - I also use two other input devices but I find that the above are the most used less the gun fire which is on the collective.

Timm, thanks I had this but couldn't seem to get it to work with Modman(maybe needs an idiots guide?). I have however just messed with my init.Lua file and now have a digital green HUD!
