Official Campaign thread

Hey!

 

Due to my oversight (I mixed up the dates for the 2.5 update) I didn't submit the updated campaign to Zeus - sorry about that.

Please find below the link to 2.5 version that you can use for the time being:

 

CAMPAIGN 2.5

 

Just replace the files and you should be good to go!

 

Also, a big, big request:

 

I did my best to update the campaign using a Trunk build that in itself had a lot of trouble - so it didn't work from time to time. On top of that I had to update two other campaigns, so it is possible that I missed something in this one and there still are bugs. If you find any, please report them in the bug section and I will make sure to squash them as soon as possible.

 

It is Open Beta still after all. Many thanks!

Thanks balton_dragon! Your work and support is always excellent. I'll buy all campaigns you create.

It seems that the parking spots have been renumbered on the Caucasus map. I've had to go into my personal missions and re-place aircraft in the correct spots. Was causing some missions to start with a bang (literally starting with another aircraft in my spot). Mission 6 is starting inside a hardened hangar that doesn't want to open. Tedious but I think that is the solution unless ED changes things back for the parking debacle.

doing a replay of the campaign for 2.5, and on mission 3 the tanker pilot voice wouldnt trigger (the lady flying it) and then I wasn't able to actually contact the tanker on any channel. so i just ended up using f10 to skip the AAR. Otherwise everything has worked for me so far

Parking has been kind of odd. Units show to be over a parking spot but not the actual parking number assigned, thus where they spawn, is in a different location. Mission makers have to select each aircraft and reselect the proper parking spot.

I am going once again through the campaign with small updates, so I will keep that in mind.

I will also check M3 and tanker VOs tonight. Thanks for the reports and keep them coming, also if the missions are working fine - that way I will know which to skip.

[baltic_dragon]

OK, in M03 after changing from Viking to KC-130 I forgot to update the frequency, now it is fixed.

Also, M06 should be fixed after updating player's position.

 

If you spot anything else, please do let me know!

[baltic_dragon]

OK guys, I updated all the missions fixing the starting positions and landing triggers, hope this solves the problems reported so far!

[baltic_dragon]

Hello,

 

The problem with the parking spots is on ED or the campaign itself?

 

Most of the parking spot numbers AND parking places changed on the entire map.. so each campaign needed to be updated to take it into account (otherwise some of the airplanes would start in a completely different spot than intended by the mission designer).

 

The latest version linked should fix any problems with this.

[Spetz]

Excellent.. Thanks BD!

[granola1861]

Still having an issue on mission 6 where the hangar door fails to open. Anybody else having this problem and/or know of a solution?

[baltic_dragon]

Are you sure you are using the updated version? If you downloaded it before Friday, redownload - I’ve made some changes. On my end everyhng works.

I've downloaded the latest version. Prior to pressing Start the hangar isn't visible. I can see the troops standing outside, but once I start the mission the hangar appears and doesn't open. I've tried saying "Alohomora" and waving my wand and still nothing happens...

 

I may just have to wait until some more bugs are worked out on ED's side.

 

I appreciate the help and I've completed the campaign already and there is a reason I'm doing it again. It's a really FUN campaign! Great job. Looking forward to Red Flag and seeing if Berger makes a reappearance. ;)

DCS crashed right before reaching Waypoint one of the first Mission on 2.5

 

I am using the version available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1_zf2nYp-V6vcMPJnfA0suKj5SMn4yRay

Mission 1, kneeboard first few pages are just colored lines. No text. First page of briefing sheet with the airport diagram and parking spots has no coordinates. How do I get the coordinates to initialize the INS? BTW, I downloaded all the mission from the link from the post above from GCBrown. Moved out all the old files and put in all the downloaded ones.

[baltic_dragon]

Not working kneeboards and crashes are not rekated to the campaign:( I have no control over it, this is ED department. But you can use F10 map an hover the cursor over your position. Custom made kneebord pages work fine (press the right [ a few times to access them).

Thanks for the immediate post Baltic. I was referring to the custom pages where it shows the parking spots at Vaziani with the ones we are circled. In the last batch there were the coordinates printed on that page, now theyre missing

[baltic_dragon]

Yeah I removed them since they were added to normal kneebord and were more accurate :)) we need to wait for ED to fix it - it’s open beta after all!

[1011ster]

True. Really appreciate your prompt replies.

[baltic_dragon]

And the kneeboards are OK again after today's hotfix :)

The question about Official Campaign.

 

Is the current version of official campaign in the release version of DCS 2.5 + the last update of module M2000C (21.04.18 ) ?

[baltic_dragon]

Hey,

It has been submitted a few weeks ago but I think it still wasn’t released as the open beta -> stable update didn’t include campaign updates. So no. Having said that I am happy to link the folder with the whole campaign set if need be.

Ok, Thank You, maybe it will be release with 2.5.1...

[baltic_dragon]

It should be. It is ready for some time and I think all of the bugs are squashed..

[gorzasty]

Hi

I started the campaign a few days ago. Everything was ok until mission 10. Where You have to escort the AWACS. During the start procedure, just in the hangar, I receive communicates that should be much later in the mission for sure (about some boogies, and that I should check and lock them). Next when I join AWACS nothing happens. We fly for an hour and longer and still nothing. Can't move on.

 

Does anyone can confirm this bug? (OB 2.5.3)
