Spartan111sqn Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 Dear all, thanks for this it is awesome, I appreciate a lot, but for me it is not intuitive how to make it work. I have read the pdf attached on the campaigns, but I guess I am not doing it correctly, when I click in install button in the DCE.exe appears an error message about not able to write .txt file..., and I also do not know how and when to apply OcGME, also the browse indicated I am not sure if it is talking about DCS inslall in program files or in saved games folder. Another question, is possible to play coop mode?, I mean can I run in multiplayer with human wingman? Thanks in advance for your answer. Keep pushing.

Hello, It is not easy to create a PDF, some people complain that it is too long and too complete, others that it is incomplete... Not easy to satisfy all of you...^^ Concerning the "DCE_installer.exe", it tries to write in the MyDocuments folder\DCE_Installer, a file named option.txt to keep in memory your path choices. Do you have a MyDocuments folder? Or have you moved it somewhere else? If not, try with superUser or Windows Administrator rights, when you run "DCE_installer.exe". Concerning OvGME and its path, I don't understand exactly what you are asking for, but it is necessary: - at first (1/a/ in the PDF) install OvGME, somewhere ^^, where you want, let's say the path C:\ovgmepathB, note that OvGME will ask you to create a Mod folder (for example) - in a second step, (1/b/ in the PDF), fill in the requested paths, for the OvGME line, put the path where you have installed OvGME\mod, in our example: C:\ovgmepathB\mod Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator (free version) 1 FAQ DCE (Cef & Miguel'version) In case of problem with a mission generated by CEF's DCEs, please post as many elements as possible: - the mission + the tacview + a screenshot of the bug window + Give the name of the campaign + version of the scriptsMod
Spartan111sqn Posted March 1, 2021 Posted March 1, 2021 (edited) Thanks, but I am not able to make it run, I have the correct link to every folder, but I am admin and appear that cannot get access to ..\documents\DCE_installer\options.txt and when I run firstmission.bat appears that the system cannot find the specified path...the strange thing is that appears DCE in DCS and I can select the campaign and start it. and also appears the error message when exiting the mission indicated in FAQ in the pdf. I do not know what to do. Edited March 1, 2021 by Spartan111sqn

Spartan111sqn Posted March 3, 2021 Posted March 3, 2021 great!, more than welcome anytime, we can organize something in English, maybe one of your campaigns in COOP mode (don't know how to do it). When we organize something I will MP you, no compromise. Sorry for the offtopic. I will check the installer this evening.
Spartan111sqn Posted March 5, 2021 Posted March 5, 2021 Finally it works, this is a great stuff, very cool. The war scenary is very well built as a first glance looks very realistic, CAPs where they should be, at the altitude and speed (loiter) for endurance, SAMs arrangement. I see the carrier stopped, do not know why. ATO well built, with sense. All in all very cool stuff. I will report more things if you do not mind. And by the way, the support from Miguel has been amazing, very well driven and great dedicated support, I and my squadron are very grateful to him. Guys enjoy with it, we have paid for stuff with less value than this one, very impressive. 1

ataribaby Posted March 7, 2021 Posted March 7, 2021 (edited) I think fixed tanker problem in IRIAF Tanker Wars. Scrapped fake airbase solution and turned Bandar Abas tanker sq into tanker reserves and reordered parking spots definitions for Shiraz squadrons and used tankers only from Shiraz. Seems work fine so far. BTW I noticed something odd with parking spots defintions in campaign, When I defined 4 parking spots for F-4 squadron there that has 4 aircrafts then parking and active planes was overleaping. When I set it only to two parking defintions all was fine. Strange. I will try investigate. Edited March 8, 2021 by ataribaby
ataribaby Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Jutst got overlaping issue, It must be DCE code issue. Will check it out. 1
ataribaby Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 (edited) Ahhh I am idiot. That bugging static F-4s are part of base_mission.miz scenery! All good with ramp allocations then.

Spartan111sqn Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Quote I see the carrier stopped, do not know why When pressing F10 and indicate to the carrier run into wind solves the problem. The carrier starts to move and everything is fine, same when going to land.

Spartan111sqn Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 I will check, and upload the tacview, for sure at start it is stop, but you ask it to put towards the wind and starts running.

The problem with carriers not moving is my fault : there were errors in camp_trigger_init.lua file with bad TF names (old ones were still used) in Hornet, Tomcat and Mirage over PG versions, sorry It should be corrected in new uploaded versions...

Spartan111sqn Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 I have been testing Crisis in PG - Tomcat and in the first mission I was escorting a SEAD and Strike on a SA-6, there were many blue planes flying on the SA-6 and it didn't fire, I do not know if such behaviour is as intended or not, just to highlight it. Of course the SA-6 was killed easily then by the IA. By the way nice war environment, very cool.

SomethingSimple Posted March 10, 2021 Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) Hi guys, currently working on a campaign in Syria but am running into issues with the spawning. For example I got an airbase defined in the dbairbases as having 5 parking spots. ATO schedules way too many flights and the planes end up stacking on top of each other in an upwards column and they fall down and crash. What can I do to fix that? https://imgur.com/a/zcXGyw1 I also get a lot of planes spawn in each other like this on bigger airbases with more parking spots: https://imgur.com/a/aBnRv0c Helicopters spawning in the middle of the runway: https://imgur.com/a/fNU1YzW I have prunestatic=true in conf_mod. This is the generated .miz: Bekka Valley - Syria_first.miz Let me know if you want any other files for troubleshooting. Edited March 10, 2021 by SomethingSimple
