Heater741 Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 Hey guys, So I'd like to download and play missions / campaigns created by other users, but I'm certainly not a "computer guy". This is how dumb I am: I clicked the Download button, opened DCS and expected the new mission to be there. Clearly I've missed a few steps. After you're done laughing, can you please help me download and play some user content? Thanks!
Rudel_chw Posted August 30, 2018 Posted August 30, 2018 ... I clicked the Download button, opened DCS and expected the new mission to be there. Clearly I've missed a few steps. When you click "download", your internet browser should ask where you want to put the file ... if you place it within /saved games/DCSxxx/Missions/ you will be able to see the mission on "My Missions", like this: If you download too many missions, within the "Missions" folder you can design a folder structure to impart a bit of order .. on my case I have one folder for each map, and within that I have two folders: For multiplayer missions, and for Single player. Also, I've found useful to have, for SP, a separate folder according to what is the primary player aircraft, like this: Best regards and welcome.

Get the file from the folder your browser downloaded it, copy and paste it into your X:\your_user\Saved_Games\DCS\Missions Most likely the mission file will be a .miz archive, so if you have troubles finding the correct folders, make a search using Windows tool ;) i5 8400 | 32 Gb RAM | RTX 2080Ti | Virpil Mongoose T-50 base w/ Warthog & Hornet sticks | Warthog throttle | Cougar throttle USB | Orion 2 throttle base w/ Viper & Hornet grips| VKB T-Rudder Mk IV | Oculus Rift S | Buddy-Fox A-10 UFC | 2x TM MFDs & 1x WW DDI | 2x Bass shakers | SIMple SIMpit chair | WW TakeOff panel | Andre JetSeat | WW Hornet UFC | WW Viper ICP FC3 - Warthog - F-5E - Harrier - NTTR - Hornet - Tomcat - Huey - Viper - C-101 - PG - Hip - SuperCarrier - Syria - Warthog II - Hind - South Atlantic - Sinai - Strike Eagle - Phantom - Mirage F1 - Afghanistan - Irak
