Hi guys, I play liberation daily now but the main problem is the frame rate drops significantly with my VR. Evidently there are a lot of resources at play. How can I make sure dcs doesn't eat up all my RAM? Thanks

Run a dedicated DCS mission server, preferably on a different PC (which doesn't need any special GPU, only some RAM and CPU).  If you don't have a spare PC , you can run a separate DCS server on your gaming PC. It should benefit from the Mulicore/thread ability of your system, and ease up the load on the main DCS instance.

Ah! Thank you mate. I will do it!

BTW : Any cheap and half decent desktop PC with 16GB of RAM should be fine running a dedicated DCS server.

FWIW : I'm running a Dell optiplex 7040, i7 6th gen and 32GB of RAM you can find them refurbished for quite cheap. It used to be  i5/16GB before some late upgrade and it was perfectly up to the task running a MP Liberation campaign with 5 of my squadron mates.

Playing Liberation in Syria with the AH-64D at the moment. I'm getting JTAC messages appear with grids and laser codes and not sure what I should be doing with this information. The details appear in text top right of the screen. Am I supposed to take a written note of the information that appears? Because it's not on screen long enough, unless I was to pause the game. Also, (likely more of an Apache issue) having great difficulty in getting my CPG to locate and designate targets, even when telling him exactly where to look.

You have to select the F-15E Strike Eagle (Suite 4+).

So is there anything particular I have to do to fly the F-15E S4+ in liberation now that it's out?

Oh I see now, I had to scroll all the way to the bottom of the folder contents to find the .exe

Yep, Liberation works and advances on my OpenBeta Server.  All I had to do was copy the missionscripting.lua from the Liberation folder to my OpenBeta server scripts folder.  Such a nice change of pace attacking hostile ground units that are in motion, and being able to attack enemy CAS aircraft.  I will say though, the red frogfoots seemed a bit jumpy, like they went at light speed sometimes or glitched altogether way outside my gun pipper.  Anyway it was a blast.

Hi folks, new here! After happily flying with Liberation since V2, I encountered something weird today:
When I start Liberation, I get the splash screen as usual and then, as the campaign engine should open, a white window appears and all gets stuck.
Funny, because yesterday I played a mission as usual and afterwards I saved the results, which it also tried to load today.
Things I already have tried:
1) Deleted the Liberation folder in Saved Games/DCS
2) Uninstalled/reinstalled Liberation
No joy.
Anybody experiencing similiar issues?

Liberation 8.1.0

Anyone is playing the Exercise Bright Star (new campaign on Sinai map)?

Spoiler

I've captured the 1st enemy base on Sinai peninsula (Melez AFB), now I should continue to Egypt but there is no route to cross the Nile and there is no FEBA on the map!

How am I supposed to continue to the next enemy base?

I used Helo assault to do so. The. The front line reforms. 
 

I never got it to progress with ground only crossing the Suez.

 

By the way is there a user campaign library?

You right click on the base you want and if you have helos aviable choose helo assault from the mission drop down menu. Then it’s just a mater of softening up the defense there.

Got it, thank you!

I'm going to plan a lot of SEAD/DEAD missions right now

Doing a Falcon Over the Mountain campaign in version 6.1.  Yes I know, older version but I still have never finished a Liberation campaign before new versions come out and I'm determined to finish this one.  My problem has existed in other versions tho.

When I take an airfield, is there a way to get aircraft to that base?  I am unable to purchase them for the base, and nothing shows up under the transfer tab, either for the base I would like aircraft to go to, or my base with plenty of aircraft to send.  

Thanks for any help.

Which is the best way to provide feedback/suggestion to the developer?

I have a couple of ideas I whould like to suggest about group naming thant might be useful:

1. Name all groups belonging to the same package using the name (useful to identify other flights), i.e.:
   1. Enfield 1-x (Strike)
   2. Enfield 2-x (SEAD)
   3. Enfield 3-x (Escort)
2. Add package info into the kneeboard: at least list the name of the other gorups belonging the the package and their role.
3. Allow used to set the group name when creating

Yes! 100%

Otherwise you have no idea what's going on listening to the AI radio calls. Even if the names aren't organized in this way, right now we don't have unique names even. So there will be 5 different flights called "Colt-1", and there are no Colt-2, 3, etc.

 

Longtime lurker here, but I do mostly liberation solo or with a friend, and I had been going into the ME and fixing the names every time. I shouldn't think it'd be super hard to implement this. There are a few enhancement requests posted for it on the github already. Possibly a related bug, on the latest Liberation release they only say Enfield-1 for me now.

As far as I understand, you need to transfer the whole squadron to the new base.

[Reaper51368]

Oh holy crap!!  Thank you LordOrion!  I had never even clicked on the airwing button.  I was laboring under the belief I had to buy planes for the base.  Imagine my delight when I transferred them then on the next mission saw he ferry flights!!!!  Thanks again.

For those like me who didn't know about it, you have to click on the airwing button and transfer the squad there.  The next turn will have ferry flights to the new base and after that the planes will be available on the next turn.  This is going to cut down significantly on my time of flight to the farthest enemy bases!

This evening, after the last update, I tried play another turn on Exercise Bright Star , but when I press TAKE-OFF I got this:

Any clue of what is going wrong?

I'm currently using a preview version of DCS Liberation, but reverting back to official v8.1.0 it looks like can't load my saved games...
