Skipping Campaign Missions

[Deathbane]

Hello guys,

 

Had the blackshark 2 years now but only recently got relatively comfortable with basic flight and combat capabilities. Looking forward to going all out with proper pedals and probably oculus, this is a really amazing sim. Even had me buying mig 21 and FC3 so I think I'm set!

 

One problem I'm having though is that some missions in campaigns are CTDing. I'm playing the deployment campaign but cannot progress because the NEAR GUNDALEM mission crashes on start 100% of the time.

 

Is there anyway I can modify my save to progress to the next mission? I was really enjoying the campaign, and want to complete it without having to wait potential weeks / months before it gets noticed and patched.

The easy way is to just load the missions one by one and not in a campaign. They are in "DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Ka-50\Missions\EN\Campaigns"

 

I have the same problem with crashing missions. The "deployment"-campaign is totally broken.

Not sure if this is the problem causing your CTDs, but it was a work around that allowed me to finish the campaign:

Cheers guys, will give these suggestions a shot. A real shame cant properly track the campaign though due to these issues - would be good if ED could take a look at the older campaigns and fix them up.

Same with the Mig-21's campaign. The missions work but the way it tracks progress it really screwed up. It forced me to go through the mission editor too. I really want EDGE to come out ASAP. Not for the new engine, but so ED can concentrate on polishing up the rough edges. There's a pun in there somewhere...

You can manually set the campaign stage in your logbook file. If you don't have it, download and install Notepad++. This editor allows for proper editing of lua files. Make a backup copy before you do any manual editing just in case.

 

To change the campaign stage look for a file called: <Drive>:\Users\<your userid>\Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor\logbook.lua

 

You can change the stage here:

 

["games"] =

{

[1] =

{

["created"] = "05/06/2013 4:28:32 PM",

["player"] = "Me",

["campaign"] = "./mods/aircrafts/Su-25T/Missions/en/Campaigns/Georgian Oil War - Grand Campaign.cmp",

["status"] = "Active",

["history"] =

{

[1] = <---- Select the section with the largest number - that is your latest entry.

{

["datetime"] = "05/06/2013 4:31:09 PM",

["agKills"] = 0,

["aaKills"] = 0,

["stage"] = 3, <----- Set this number to a different stage in the campaign.

["deathsCount"] = 0,

["result"] = 0,

["mission"] = "ATO-A-P3.4.miz", <--- Set this to the mission name.

}, -- end of [1]

}, -- end of ["history"]

}, -- end of [1]

}, -- end of ["games"]

Cheers dude that is fantastic, already got it so this should be relatively easy.

[StrongHarm]

Was it the paint scheme breaking it? If so I'll add another note to the bug report.

[Deathbane]

Afraid not, or at least thats not what the error log indicates.

I think you're right Deathbane. Did you try turning civilian traffic off?

[Deathbane]

Nope, I havn't tried that, ill give it a shot as I havn't had time yet to sit down for dcs. Therefore on the same broken mission so can test it out. Cheers :).
