Post your mission here (if you have overwritten your mission, the old one is in the Debriefing folder) I actually got it to work my friend thank you. It was operator error on my part. ( I forgot about f8-ground crew- request launch) However now I have your attention can I please direct it to something I am reasonably sure is a problem? I have the misson file still - basically the problem is the flight deck is crowded and my wingman in two missions now crashes his nose into another f14. I need to check also - there's no radio options for the Roosevelt on my radio. It's tuned right. However that hasn't been a problem - then again the enemy got me both missions I flew still I got it working overall thankyou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlfritz Posted June 27, 2021 Share Posted June 27, 2021 @PB0_CEF Thanks for the pointers. To add aiframes/squadrons, do I need to open the mission (either the first mission or the ongoing mission) files in the ME to add them? or only in the OOB_init.lua and db_loadouts.lua? as an aside, is there an easy reference to objects in the game? airbases, squadrons/liveries, nations? far easier to look them up in a file list or database than opening the mission editor. Thx! I will share this effort once completed if anyone is interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thx! I will share this effort once completed if anyone is interested. Well it's not a good idea to edit the mission in Me in fact. The best is to add squadrons with new planes (and loadouts) and then generate a new campaign with DCE MANAGER You can look in others DCE campaigns to find other aircraft loadouts and squadrons : F-15C Eagle for example is available in Caucasus campaigns so you can Cut/Paste loadouts and squadrons names If you have problems : tell me I will look at it [/url]All known Dynamic Campaign Engine Campaigns Last DCE news : Crisis in PG - Blue version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hlfritz Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) @PB0_CEFThanks! I like that I do not need to open ME, I can then work on my laptop as it is very slow with ME. Thx for the hint, I will search otherwise for that list and if available ill post back. For expediency I will check other campaigns.

71st_AH Rob Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 (edited) BUG REPORT - DCE Manager 3.9.16 When trying to update the Manager on my gaming computer I get an error dialog that there was an error updating the manger and to check the log. I also get the message in the update status that there is no update available. Checking the log I see the following entry: 2021-06-28 2:10:49 PM Download upgrade.txt 2021-06-28 2:10:49 PM 00 found upgrade.txt in F:\Documents\DCE_Managerupgrade.txt 2021-06-28 2:10:49 PM FileServer 3.9.17 2021-06-28 2:10:49 PM FileLocal 3.9.16 2021-06-28 2:10:50 PM Failed server: https://bit.ly/3au28Lq Or local: C:\Users\Rob\Downloads\ at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadFile(Uri address, String fileName) at System.Net.WebClient.DownloadFile(String address, String fileName) at WindowsFormsDCE.Form1.button_UpdateManager_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) No update of DCE_Manager required On my dedicated server, DCE Manager updated correctly. On both computers I have them installed in the same place on the C Drive, I run both as Administrator by default. The only difference that I can see is the location of upgrade.txt. My Documents folder on my gaming PC which has the issue is: F:\Documents\DCE_Managerupgrade.txt vs. C:\Users\Rob\Documents\DCE_Managerupgrade.txt on the Dedicated Server. My default browser on my gaming PC is Firefox and on my Server is Chrome which may also be a factor. Solution I tried to download DCE Manager from the User Files link in the first post, however, it is only 3.9.16. I solved the problem by downloading Iran - Irak war Hind since I knew it was the most recent and would have DCE Manager 3.9.17. The problem is now solved for my this time, however, others may have difficulty updating from 3.9.16 which may make troubleshooting more difficult when problems arise with campaigns. It should be noted that the failed server address is correct and if entered manually in my web browser will download the correct file.

This campaign suffers from the same as when it was the "Frogfoot in Afghanistan" campaign (Nevada ) Su25 flights are assigned with no escorts and promptly get shot down from enemy flights. I noticed that the Mig21s that do spawn either circle around the airbase or escort other SU25 flights going to other mission areas leaving the player a nice fat duck to shoot down. Allied SAMS did not appear to fire near FLOT (front line of troops) ( im on mission 4 now, will keep testing ) Dare I ask if said SU-25 campaign is one I was involved in ? If yes, when playing it I use EWR info to decide if/when to press or to retreat. When retreating I stay at treetop level (sometimes lower) and try to bring the opposition into my SAM bubble, while begging for CAP support via radio. It works pretty often, since flight distances are pretty short. I also successfuly engaged F-5/4s in self defense with R-60, and it can work too ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The concept is great and the SU-25 is a good plane, though the SU-25T would of been a bit easier with the excellent targets you have placed, but very well hidden and protected especially with no JTAC. I will try this out to bait planes over and such. I will give the campaign more runs to see any other odd behavior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
