Thanks BN for your reply, the only change I made was from USA to Australia and only just noticed this problem before my post and also medals not showing anywhere in logbook no matter which AC or country I choose.

Never had this issue before.

Thanks again for interest.

 

 

Edit, ok thanks

Tested - no medals for Australia

GazAce,

I am not sure if it is any good news for you but I was able to reproduce and confirm the issue you are having.

I have created a brand-new pilot in my logbook and had flown three custom built missions to get some points.

Pilot is Australian. Upon completing third mission I have accumulated enough points to receive a medal:

 

Here is my logbook.lua

 

["players"] =

{

[1] =

{

["invulnerable"] = false,

["awards"] =

{

[21] =

{

[5] = "Distinguished Service Cross",

}, -- end of [21]

}, -- end of ["awards"]

["picture"] = "",

["callsign"] = "MedalTester",

["squadron"] = "5th AVIATION REGIMENT",

["password"] = "d41d8cd98f00b204e9800998ecf8427e",

["rankName"] = "Second lieutenant",

["name"] = "Medal Tester",

["games"] =

{

}, -- end of ["games"]

["lastGame"] = 1,

["statistics"] =

{

["agKills"] = 119,

["killRatio"] = "121/0",

["missionsCount"] = 0,

["ejections"] = 0,

["totalScore"] = 1082,

["flightHours"] = 6025.038,

["daytime"] = 6025.038,

["commissioned"] = "04/11/18",

["A-10C"] =

{

["flightHours"] = 6025.038,

["deaths"] = 0,

["agKills"] = 119,

["static"] = 2,

["aaKills"] = 0,

["ejections"] = 0,

["landings"] = 4,

["refuelings"] = 0,

["nighttime"] = 0,

["totalScore"] = 1082,

["naval"] = 0,

["daytime"] = 6025.038,

}, -- end of ["A-10C"]

["campaignsCount"] = 0,

["static"] = 2,

["fagKills"] = 0,

["deaths"] = 0,

["landings"] = 4,

["refuelings"] = 0,

["nighttime"] = 0,

["aaKills"] = 0,

["naval"] = 0,

["faaKills"] = 0,

}, -- end of ["statistics"]

["countryId"] = 21,

["rank"] = "Second lieutenant",

}, -- end of [1]

}, -- end of ["players"]

["currentPlayerName"] = "Medal Tester",

} -- end of logbook

 

However, my logbook in main menu does not show any medals for that pilot.

 

I can also confirm that it works fine for my two other pilots RUSSIAN and US one. Both of these show earned medals.

That is an astounding and awesome effort mate and I thankyou big time for doing that. I did send off the details I posted here initially to ED Support so I'm hoping they can repair this BUG. As I'm kind of missing the ole medals being awarded and I had a stack of them before the new install. And I'm wondering if it matters which map I fly? I'm guessing not tho.

Thanks again Gierasimov!

Cheers Gaz

Hi Gaz.

It is not connected to the map as far as I know. It works fine for RUS and US drivers in both, Caucasus and NTTR, it just won't show up for AU.

 

Did you get any luck with support ticket?

[GazAce]

No Medals yet

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback

No response from my Ticket yet, hopefully it's not thrown in the "couldn't be arsed basket". I send in Logbook and script/lua of medals awarded and also just this afternoon was awarded "Medal of Gallantry" and guess what.. no show in Log Book. I'm starting to get the jack with all these bugs man. I recall not that long ago I was giving ED such an awesome rap and a big thankyou for 2.5 as I was so impressed and blown away by the upgrade but now it seems that a lot of missions I fly and Campaigns I embark on, well, there's so many things that need attention. When will all this be fixed I wonder? Don't get me wrong, I still believe DCS is the greatest flight sim on the market and my favourite hobby and probably always will be and I keep throwing my $$$ at them too but these issues just seem so endless. Sure can be frustrating sometimes.

Overall, still fun tho

Hi all

 

I have reported this, it is a very minor issue so not sure how long a fix will take.

 

thanks

Thanks BN, appreciate that.

I know on the surface it may seem insignificant, but to me it's kind of important. I like to have those medals that I've been awarded in my Log Book.

Thanks again G

Agreed really minor as long as we dont have a multiplayer logbook.

Oh thanks for that, gee that's strange , I thought MP was the minority

I encountered this issue before and reported it (but please don't make me find the thread; it's a couple years old). It's because the awards are listed in the reverse order in db_countries.lua that this happens.

 

It should read:

 {
award('Distinguished Service Cross', _('Distinguished Service Cross'), 800, 'AUS05_Distinguished_Service_Cross.png'),
award('Star of Courage', _('Star of Courage'), 1600, 'AUS04_Star_of_Courage.png'),
award('Star of Gallantry', _('Star of Gallantry'), 2200, 'AUS03_The_Star_of_Gallantry.png'),
award('Cross of Valour', _('Cross of Valour'),2600, 'AUS02_Cross_of_Valour.png'),
award('Victoria Cross', _('Victoria Cross'), 3000, 'AUS01_Victoria_Cross.png'),
 },

 

FYI, once you get the Victoria Cross, all awards will display.

Wow, that's interesting, shame I used to have heaps incl the VC and the PH then I somehow lost them all a while ago in the change over.

And thanks kindly HF, appreciate that.

Funny enough only yest my rank was elevated to Capt and a medal awarded but only showed written rank in logbook and medal tally still blank. And recently Support got back to me and said they would address it in the next update, so that's good.

Cheers G

Probably not the next patch, I think I said future patch in the ticket :)
