Orestd Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 (edited) 19 hours ago, Orestd said: Thank you. I installed the first campaign for the f-16. Worked perfectly. I didn't test it extensively just started the campaign and exited. The error message did not pop up. A text file with a summary of the mission did pop up as it is supposed to. I then installed the F-14 Tom Cat and the F-18 Hornet But for those 2 campaigns the error message popped up and the summary text file did not. I checked the path.bat for all three they looked identical. I have no idea why it is working for one and not the other 2. I have attached the log file and the path bat for all 3 campaigns. The first one is the f-16 which is working. The next one is the f-14 and the f-18 which are not working.. dcs.log 50.93 kB · 1 download path.bat 376 B · 1 download path.bat 376 B · 1 download path.bat 376 B · 1 download I deleted the DCE and just installed the F-16. If you look at the log for when I play the falcon (attached) all paths point to C. But in the Hornet and Tom Cat they point to F. I think this maybe a bug in the campaign. I don't think it is something at my end. It doesn't make sense that the falcon would work but the other 2 don't. I will try installing another DCE campaign not the crisis one see if that works. dcs.log Installed hornet over Persian gulf. The error message came up. But when I checked the log all paths pointed to c . The error message was "ERROR VFS: VFS_open_write: CreateFile(C:\Users\Orest PC\C:\Users\Orest PC\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\tech\DCE\Missions\Campaigns\Hornet over PG - SuperCarrier\MissionEventsLog.lua): The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." I looked everywhere could not find missioneventslog.lua. No idea what is going on. Edited February 13, 2021 by Orestd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everytime I install I always do the first mission bat. Even after every campaign I click on first mission bat. I will uninstall everything and try again. Once I do if the problem persists I will send you the logs and batch files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Concerning DCE_Installer, I confirm that it does not work yet at the end of the mission ^^^ Sorry Sorry for the confusion I should have stuck with one campaign. We should try and fix one problem before solving the next. Anyways I uninstalled everything then with the installer I reinstalled crisis over the Persian gulf for the Hornet. As soon as the installation was complete I ran firstmission.bat. Then I ran the campaign. Still got the error and the log error states it is still looking in f. Now I am not sure what you mean that the installer does not work at the end of a mission. It looks like the paths are all correct in the path.bat. The falcon campaign for crisis works perfectly. I am baffled. Is anyone else having these problems or am I the only one. dcs.log path.bat FirstMission.bat Edited February 14, 2021 by Orestd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orestd Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 Hi Cef there seems to be a problem with the F-14 before the start of a mission. The tomcats damage each other on the deck before you even get into the cockpit. you have to restart the mission a couple of times to get so that they do not damage each other.

Hi I had seen this problem before I switched PCs. I think the causes are: - PC configuration too right, at the beginning of the mission, the loading of DCS makes buggy the position of the wings of the F14 which "must" pass through the adjacent planes. - wind or too fast CVN speed - the CVN is running: it's worse To set this up, without "changing PCs", try it out: - to display the F10 view at mission launch - lower the CVN speed in conf_mod - do not ask the CVN to turn - play Crisis Light missions - restart the mission several times as you have already done, as it is already in memory, it bugs less when loading.
