Cool I’ll play with it when I get home.

[LuSi_6]

Okay. Okay.

please, can you share with us your Falcon over PG folder and associated files (.miz and.cmp)

 

try this

Thank you for your support

[Miguel21]

In the file /Init/camp_Init.lua

the address is wrong:

 

 

    path = "Mods/aircraft/F-16C_50/Missions/EN/Campaigns/Falcon over PG/",        --path of campaign folder

It should look like something like this:

 

 

    path = "Mods/aircraft/F-16C/Missions/EN/Campaigns/Falcon over PG/",        --path of campaign folder

OMG! It worked! You just made me a happy Pilot :pilotfly:

Thank you so much!

[Miguel21]

Happy for you ^^^

 

May I ask you a favor?

Neither Cef nor I have the F16, so we can't test it.

 

If you don't mind, once you're sure that the F16 campaign works properly, could you make it available to the community here on this forum?

First post updated with your link :)

I'm playing the Hornet over the PG campaign and can't get the label settings to work. No matter what I set the labels to in conf_mod.lua they will not show up in game.

A priori, it seems that to have the labels, you must ALSO have "label" activated in the options of DCS

I do have labels enabled under DCS settings, and they work in other missions.

 

If I open the mission in the mission editor and change label enforcement, then it works, but I need to do that every time DCE generates a new mission.

[Miguel21]

Hi,

Strange, I tested it yesterday and it works.

Could you post here a DCE mission before modification by editor mission and a mission after modification?

As well as the conf_mod.

Thank you.

Before we release the F-16 campaign as standalone, can we for the love of John Boyd, name the campaign "Viper over PG" not "Falcon over PG"

[Bunny Clark]

Well, now I'm pretty confused. About three missions into campaign labels started working fine, I don't need to go in and change them anymore. But, now I'm seeing some really weird things going on: the last mission we flew was SEAD escort for what was supposed to be F-16Cs striking an EWR, but when we flew the mission the strike aircraft were actually A-10Cs armed with Sidewinders and AMRAAMs. I've also noticed every HARM I fire evaporates in a puff of smoke a few seconds after I fire it and I never hit anything with them. My friend, who I'm playing co-op with, can kill things just fine with them. No idea what's going on.

The original Mbot script preserves SAM RADARs, it assumes that aircraft or anti-radar missiles have been detected in advance.

In concrete terms, his script works like this:

As soon as there is a shot from an anti-radar missile, there is a 70% chance of being detected, so the Mbot Script makes the missile disappear in the game AND turns off the SAM radar for a while.

 

 

--ARM Defence Script
--by Marc "MBot" Marbot
--Version 21.12.2014
--This script gives radars a chance to detect anti-radar missiles launched against them and to shut down for self-preservation

When DCS has a problem with a plane type (error of name or plane not found) it uses A-10C with initial weapons load !

What campaign do you use ?

I suppose you updated you DCS since Falcon module is available ?

If so, there must be an error in F-16C_50 name in loadout and/or oob

I'm having a hard time understanding whats newest in the first post.

11.0.7 or 11.01.0?

I would guess 11.01.0?

 

And is the first list of CEF's missions not Campaign Version 20?

 

What do I get if I want the latest updated content?

Maybe a restructure of the first post is about time yes?

I agree with you :thumbup:

 

 

I hope it's better now :smilewink:

[Wizard1393]

Yes. Much better. Perhaps even adding something along the line of "From top to bottom - oldest to newest" above the table with campaigns would make it even clearer for everyone new to DCE Campaigns. :)

[Wizard1393]

Btw, I'm trying out your latest F-14 over Persian Gulf. Is there no strike/A2G at all for the F-14?

Only CAP/Escort/Intercept?

[PB0_CEF]

Like my last edit ? :music_whistling:

Well it's a mistake (sequel of FA-18C campaign ! )

You can change that in squadron OOB in init or in Status folder if you don't want to restart your campaign ... sorry :doh:

I meant literally putting the text there :smilewink:, but I see you ordered it nicely now.

Oh, np m8. I'll have a looksie :)

[Wizard1393]

Wait, it appears Strike is in? Never got a Strike mission.

	[21] = {
		name = "VF-101",							--unit name
		player = true,									--player unit
		type = "F-14B",								--aircraft type
		country = "USA",								--unit country
		livery = {"VF-101 Grim Reapers Low Vis", "VF-101 Dark"},				--unit livery
		base = "CVN-70 Carl Vinson",							--unit base
		skill = "High",								--unit skill
		tasks = {										--unit tasks
			["Intercept"] = true,
			["CAP"] = true,
			["Escort"] = true,
			["Fighter Sweep"] = true,
			["Strike"] = true,
		},
		number = 12,
	},

 

Also, if I wanted to change the RED aircraft types, would it be so simple as to change

type = "F-14B",	

to

type = "Mig-23MLD",	

Yes? And make sure they have loadouts for all tasks they will perform?

 

Also, is it possible to have a combined campaign?

As in, when generation next mission, the player can choose what aircraft to fly? That would be RAD.

 

 

EDIT: I tried changing the F-14A's to MIG-23MLD and added loadouts for MIG-23MLD for the same tasks that the F-14A's have.

But generating a new mission fails with error:

Scripts/ATO_Generator.lua:147: attempt to perform arithmetic on field 'tStation' (a nil value)

 

What else do I need to change? EDIT: Also changed livery now, did not help, same error. EDIT2: Got it fixed. Was some attributes on the loadouts I forgot to change when I copy/pasted loadouts...

[sirPecka]

Ability to choose from different airframes is something I was gonna ask myself. That would be a game changer if it's possible.

Well I suppose there are more air to air missions to do at the campaigns beginning

It would not be the Mbot's campaign spirit (one squadron life) but may be later could it be a possible option : it's nearly possible with MP game style but no really interesting (one kind of aircraft will not fly if not used by the player...)

Nice :thumbup: You didn't like the buggy overpowered Iranian F-14A ? :music_whistling:
