Sydy Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hi guys, I will try to summarize what I did to make the DCE “Hornet over PG” campaign to work with the new SuperCarrier: Deleted the version I had (20.33-03 - the latest). Got the .rar (obviously the same), checked the missionscript.lua in my JGSME. ok Installed precisely as the .PDF says, except I did not run the FirstMission.bat yet. Changed into the Init.lua the Clear Deck from true to False. I had a hunch that’d work with supercarrier. It did. Downloaded the .LUA files on the post https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4336660&postcount=1586 Put them on Saved Games\DCS\Mods\tech\DCE\ScriptsMod Also did this: https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4335128&postcount=1576 Open DCS, Mission Editor and opened the Base_Mission.miz. Unlinked all units on CVN-72 (the most western one). Change the link to NONE. Changed the CNV-72 Lincoln Unit from CV-74 Stennis to CVN-72 Lincoln. Linked all unit back again to the same unit CVN-72 Lincoln. (Don’t mess with the Eastern CV - I did and I had to start all over again). Put the E-2 Hawkeye aft a little bit so it wouldn’t block any spawn point. (noticed that on the first try) Saved. Exited DCS. Run the FirstMission.bat file. Back into DCS, Campaigns, DCE, Hornet over PG, flew the first mission (Sead Scort). I hope it helps. Good luck, Sydy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sublime Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Hello Plz look into the altimeter baro pressure setting or qrf for IRIAF F14 for Lar airbase. Its. Bughed in briefing. Itll set a figure you cant set and is lower than reality. I just verified 2 diff missions by checking othe planes height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryebred Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I installed the Harrier over PG campaign generator and got the first mission loaded. The briefing said the mission starts at 6:55 with a take off time of 7:11 but when the mission loaded the clock in the Harrier said 2:55. I was all alone on the tarmac which seemed a bit weird but was supposed to meet up with my flight at waypoint 1 around 7:20 at a weird altitude of 19,600. Once I got to waypoint 1 I orbited for a while but nobody else came. I asked the flight to check in and they said negative. Dodge 5-2 said bingo fuel. I thought well, all I need to do is destroy one EWR site so I can do that myself even though I was now past time on target. Proceeded to waypoint 4 but could not find the EWR site with the TPOD. Made a couple orbits searching for it and then got shot down by a SAM site. I canceled out of everything and didn't accept the result so hopefully I can try again but it seems like the times are off and the rest of my flight is nowhere to be found.

EnDSchultz Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 The Tomcat over PG campaign seems to be missing Blue Defeat newspaper clipping that's preventing it from generating a campaign mission (a defeat condition, apparently). On that note, I am baffled as to why it decided that Blue was defeated after only three or four missions when we only lost about 15 aircraft total, compared to over 25 for Red...

Ok it seem that startup setting in Harrier over PG is little too long. Please open Camp_init.lua file in Init folder with Notepad++ and change startup time startup = 1200, --time in seconds allocated for player start-up To : startup = 600, --time in seconds allocated for player start-up Don't forget to use Firstmission.bat file to generate a new campaign ;) Be careful to have enough time to align INS ...

Scotch75 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 we found the bug (my fault ^^) you can download these 2 files and place them in Saved Games\DCS\Mods\tech\DCE\ScriptsMod And tell us if it solves the problem and, more importantly, if it doesn't create another one. Thanks these files are only compatible with version 20.33.03Hey Miguel, Yes, I can confirm AI strikes working again with cruise missiles hitting their targets, launched from B-52s. I just want to check the FA-18 cruise missile strikes work as well. Cheers!

I replicated all your steps, but when i ran the Firstmission.bat it gave me an error saying it couldnt find correct path. Campaign runs fine though, just not with a populated deck with the SC addon. Hope they release a SC campaign soon. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should have lost 35 of your Squadron aircrafts to loose (reserve counts) ... Please put the attached file in your Images folder in your campaign folder :) Same issue with the Harrier over PG campaign. Looking in the folder the file was named Newspaper_Defeat so I added the _blue at the end and reran the debrief mission batch file. I also got a campaign loss after losing 14 aircraft after the third mission which is frustrating because I was actually doing really well. I did not die once and completed the first two successfully. In the third mission I only managed to damage the SA6 site by 20% but returned to base successfully. One problem I noticed is that the Harriers AI wingmen seem to not be able to land. They often crash while trying to land and then that ends up counting against me. In the last mission I told them to rejoin formation but did not tell them to RTB to see what happened but somehow two of them must have crashed as it shows them lost in the statistics.

ryebred Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 I figured out how to fix the issue of the campaign loss after the third mission. In the Debriefing folder I noticed more than three debriefings and the timestamp on them were from 2019 so maybe files that were accidentally left in there. If you delete all of those files except for your three debriefings and then run the SkipMission.bat file you can continue the campaign as you left it without having to start over.

ryebred Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Is there a way to change the default loadout of the generated missions? All of the flights so far have been not far from my home base so I would rather get rid of the external fuel tanks and take extra JDAM's instead. Selecting my preferred loadout on the mission planner doesn't seem to work as I am back to the default load when the mission loads. I can change my load using the ground crew menu once in the cockpit but would rather just set the default for the mission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicki Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 (edited) Hey guys. Could someone give me a hand? I want to play the F-5E wild weasel campaign in the stable version of DCS but I can't seem to get the "First Mission BAT" file setup correctly. My path to my game would be--F:\My Games\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World. Something to do with how many "..backslash" there should be? Also, after "Scripts" there's a forward slash. Shouldn't it be a backslash? Sure appreciate it. Thanks. Edited May 27, 2020 by Chicki mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
