For the campaign Tomcats over PG I am trying to swap out the Iranian F-14B for the F-14A-135-GR. When I change the type to "F-14A-135-GR" in the 'oob_air_init.lua' I get an error when running the first mission bat. Not so when I change it to "F-14A". But that is also the name of the default AI F14A that comes with DCS. How do I differentiate between HB F-14A and the default F14A? Did you make a Loadout for F-14A-135-GR ?

harv Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) Yes I did but let me check I think it may be the REM DCS saved games path that I must edit in notepad ++ I can understand the main path - the top line But i'm unsure about the 2nd path - which directory should it point to? Should it be: C:\Users\Harvey\Saved Games\DCS ??? Edited February 1, 2021 by harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harv Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) When I now try to skip a mission - the same mission is generated each time. Every time it is the same mission... However, if I run firstmission.bat it generates a different one! I can see in the folder there is an "ongoing.miz' but it's like the game reverts back to the 'firstmission'miz Whenever I exit the mission I get the following error: Edited February 1, 2021 by harv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel21 Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 (edited) I think you got the pathSavedGames wrong Because this error does not block the generation of the first mission. But it blocks the generation at the end of the DCS/DCE mission. give us your path.bat file, zip (because the forum will surely block it) And a screenshot of your Saved Games folder (make sure to click in the address bar of the file browser to display the correct file names).

The error indicated the name of the aircraft. After spending most of the afternoon on it I decided to give up on the F-14A-135-GR. Then I decided to change the escort loadout for F-14B of VF-101 but that yielded unexpected results. See the loadout file I posted earlier. I had a fuel tank on the starboard sidewinder pylon then a Phoenix that should be on the belly, af free floating sparrow that probably should also be on the belly. Don't remember the rest. Loadout aimed to get 2 phoenix, 3 sparrow and two sidewinders. So I figure the loadout for the A model would not work as well. @71st_AH Rob, 7 hours ago, 71st_AH Rob said: Also, did you add the F-14A to the radio frequencies Lua in the Init folder?

TempestRiser Posted February 1, 2021 Share Posted February 1, 2021 Hello CEF. I've downloaded your Falcon Over Persian Gulf to play with a friend of mine. We really enjoyed it, congratulations ! But in the 3rd mission we've noticed that our AI flight does not take off.... also a strike package that is supposed to hit an SA6 site do not engage, they keep flying around some way points then go RTB. What should we do ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB0_CEF Posted February 2, 2021 Author Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) New campaign with last scriptmod version (20.43.59) : Crisis in PG : Iran attacked Oman and several landing points are reported north of the peninsula. We do not know what the final objective of the Iranians is, but it is feared that they will rush south to invade the UAE taking advantage of the surprise and the relatively weak forces at the moment. Your goal will be to repulse Iranian troops from Oman. Good Luck ! Some Iranian version are provided too ! Main New Features : - Briefing written automatically in the scratchpad mod file, (for the moment, only works if DCS is not launched) – see here for scratchpad : - Possibility to have defined squadron airplanes numbers and different skins for planes in the same mission (Leader, XO, etc) - Player can ask his carrier to turn into wind (it will take a little time so anticipate it with F10 menu) - Pedro helicopter for carriers and LHA - Divert airfields infos given in briefing in relation with nav points. - Less angular boats turns : ships will avoid 90° turns but instead will use more small turns. - Many small or big DCE code improvements : escorts, radio frequencies, small runways limits and more ... See first post for campaigns links !

Flyer0001 Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Hello, First I want to say thank you for all these campaigns. Second I tried to load the Ka-50 campaign - ran it and got this error message on the first mission: sanitizeModule('os') in MissionScripting.lua has not been disabled. Mission results...will not progress. a message about getting restored to defaults after updates. And the old message ...at your own risk. I tried the -- in front of the specified lines to make it a comment with no effect. Still got the message and it only apparently ran the first mission. I tried using OvGME App per the instructions as a place to hold the above alluded to file but I am not sure the campaign is even seeing it. I will admit I am no longer all that tech savy. My Tech Hay Day was DOS and Windows 3.1. You should have seen me explaining computers to the previous generation whose Hay Day was punch cards and card readers. Any thoughts?
