No training missions

Hi,

I have a problem.I've installed the game,and when I want to start my training there's no missions...But in game folder I can see training missions.And other missions or instant actions are working...

If you have it on steam, and it is very recommended to do so, then verify integrity of game cache. If not then you will have to do more research as to why this happens.

You're the first person I've ever seen that recommended DCS on Steam. May I ask why?

Everywhere I have read says to run the standalone- not steam. You get patches, modules, etc faster.

I have read that in the DCS subreddit and here. It made sense so I just copied all of my CD KEYS from Steam and used them in the standalone.

Where are you seeing that it is very recommended to use Steam?

What? Recommended to do so? Where?

Here's a link for a10c mission you can install your self. and they are free.

Get your game from eagle dynamics.

then install the a10c module into it.

There is a repair game button in the programs folder that checks for bad or missing files.( this is if you already have it installed).

this is what i see when i hit training, then a10c in modules

I have owned games for a very long time. Especially games that require serial numbers and other items to be tracked. The bonus to steam is that you no longer have to track all of these and steam can detect errors in your install with a click of a button. Mess up a mod? Didn't use JSGME? Delete the corrupted folder and verify integrity via steam. It will download only the necessary files. With one button click you eliminate install issues from the series of things to check when something goes wrong.

I would never NOT use steam for games unless it was absolutely necessary. Which a few of my games are that way. Rfactor 2, a racing sim, just went steam. Best thing that ever happened. All updates, all items, updated and tracked by steam instead of the user.

Why do more work than necessary?

Same thing as repair dcs world.

I use Steam for almost all of my games, but not DCS. It's implementation in Steam was flawed from the beginning and the key management was abyssmal. Maybe it has improved somewhat since then, but I believe DCS in Steam is more work than running standalone. Plus, patches are almost always released in the standalone version before Steam. :)

This is going way way off topic. Question of TS was not whether or not to use Steam. Question was how it was possible that despite missions visible in the game directory, no missions could be found ingame.

I had the same issue. I believe that in 2.0 (openalpha) missions and campaigns are still work in progress.

However, if the missions are present in the game directory, you still can fly them, just by browsing ingame by pressing the little folder icon above the empty mission screen. If you browse to the correct directory, you see the missions appear.

DCS does that too. Just go to your profile and check serial. Or go ingame to module manager and press "serial number".

What snafup says. You even have it in the Windows Start menu: DCS Repair.
