Some Wierdness with 1.5.5.60338

[reemit0772]

Hi

Really enjoying this campaign its a blast. But Mig15 8.3 and 8.4 may have changed after the last update. Before the update I tried and failed 8.3. After the update I could tell something was different. After the instruction do a loop the Su27 went straight to the target no following the waypoints and no voice comms. I managed to complete the mission cos I remembered the objective from the first time I tried it, so I could progress to 8.3, but yet again on that mission no comms.

I think the latest update may have borked it. Or am I doing something wrong~?

Glad you've enjoyed the campaign so far!

 

That is odd. I'll have to check to see, when I get home, if I have "Part of Group in zone" as a trigger, since I've been reading that the latest update may have an issue with that command.

 

Odd though that the SU25 went straight for the target, he should have flown off of your wing.

 

And with 8.4, there is the one frequency change that you have to make as you approach the FARP.

 

I wonder, if you individually load up an older mission, if the comms would work for that.

If you've been able to get comms working in the past, then there shouldn't be anything new you'd need to do to get them to work in these missions.

Thanks for the quick reply Apache. I'll be interested to hear what you find, completely open to any thoughts on me not getting it right. Looking forward to any of your future DLC campaigns I'll be one one of the first to purchase.

I may be having 1.5.5.60338-related problems too. I flew missions 1-5 successfully with version 1.5.5.59744 with zero problems. I then updated to 1.5.5.60338 and attempted mission 6 in the MiG-15bis, but I never hear any of the custom radio messages beyond the very first one that plays right at the beginning. I must've tried 8+ times, with/without radioing ATC, taxiing in different ways, etc. I ended up successfully completing the mission in silence by following hints from the forum, and then listening to the OGG files after, which was unfortunate.

 

I gave mission 7 a try too and didn't get any custom radio messages at all in that one, but the mission seemed to otherwise work normally. I gave up part-way through though. I need to do more testing to figure out if it's really this new DCS version or not that's causing these problems...

I'm also having a few issues. I thought i would start the campaign again, as i have already completed it with F86 but thought hey lets give it another go. There seems to be an issue with radio communication all i seem to get is the first conversation in the hangar but that's it. I remember before when taxi out an F15 would talk to me and then once airborne another message saying good luck when doing the first circuit, however nothing.

Hello there gents,

The latest DCS update has unfortunately done something internally (and quite unwanted) to the sim. It's something that has effected basically every mission / campaign that's been made. This issue is causing problems with both triggers and voice files. ED is aware of the issue, and they are working to resolve it. Hopefully they'll find a fix to the issue soon.

Crazy that some of you have been able to pick your way through some of the missions even with these issues, that's dedication right there! haha.

Hopefully that fix will be coming sooner rather than later.

Hehe, yes. I managed to do one mission even with update. It felt buggy, but I still completed it. For the next mission I reverted to old version of DCS :)

[viperdogsnake]

Finished missions 1-5 after this update, ok no issues. Mission 6, no text or comms from mission.

Hey viperdogsnake, is there any chance you can "edit" your post, and hide it in the "spoiler" option? You'd have to click "go advanced" and then just wrap your text in the "spoiler" option. (it's the far right grayish box icon)

Mission 6 is supposed to be a crazy "all hell breaks loose" scenario. Unfortunately, the voice overs are pretty important for this one, because the tell you what it is you need to do. I hate to say this, but I would recommend waiting for ED to fix this trigger/voice over bug before going to much further.

I reverted to version 1.5.5.59744 and tried mission 7 again. Much better. Got plenty of custom radio messages this time.

 

Thanks for the info, and for the fantastic campaign! Really loving it so far. The mission design and execution bring back fond memories of Wing Commander 2 and Tie Fighter, two of my all-time favorites. But that's a topic for another time.

Same here... was able to finish 8.2 without comms (just rocket'd the hell out of that trainyard without cover) but now on 8.3 I have no comms and there are 4 F16 on the runway not taking off. Also when I want to land, they tell me to "go to alternate" - have no idea what happened. Anyway, I can't finish the mission and therefore I'm down to 74% success rate which sucks and I think ED has to buy me a beer for making it up ;-)

 

I think I have to wait for the patch, good to hear that I'm not the only one.

So the mission for today seems off, I might take the Spit for a spin tonight :)

[JG4_Sputnik]

Did the new update fix those problems now?

[Apache600]

I tested a few missions yesterday, and haven't run into any problems yet, so I believe it did. I didn't check 8.3 out specifically though, sorry.

[Redglyph]

Some things were fixed like the PART OF GROUP IN ZONE and the FOLLOW TASK, but others appeared like the GROUP DEAD, and possibly other weirdnesses.

 

Hopefully this campaign is not too affected by those newcomers. End of the year is hard on everyone it seems ;)

[Fahhh]

I reverted to 1.5.5.59744 and everything seems to be working - thanks for the tips.

 

I am having a blast! :)

[JG4_Sputnik]

It works again with the new patch.
