How to save ??

[adrianstealth]

Hi

 

Finished the first mission flying with the other lead plane

Got to the second mission but exited

 

When I next used it didn’t save & started me on the first mission again !*!?!

 

Am I doing something wrong ?

 

Also only on this campaign I’m getting random freeze ups -windows ok just DCS , Ctrl-alt-del

 

Is it something I’m doing wrong , surely it’s released payware & it all should just work

Same Here

 

Same here. Reverts to beginning every time.

It can happen for two reasons:

- you finished the mission soomer than 10 minutes

- you were counted as unit dead. Maybe you exited the plane after landing? Check tacview to make sure you remained alive.

 

These are the only conditions for successfully completing a mission.

It was longer than 10 minutes

 

I never exited the plane , I parked it in the hanger

 

I pressed exit after pressing escape

 

Is this module completely broken?

I thought was ace whilst it was working as it’s the first time I’ve had an objective on DCS & I have the Christmas holidays to enjoy it , so far it’s been a complete holiday wrecker

+ to add I paid money for this torment as well

Interesting, because most people are able to progress. I'll probably remove the "unit alive" condition for the next update. In the meantime you can play each mission one by one as a single mission rather than a campaign.

Thanks it’s really good the progress through feature

Not allowing people to skip etc

 

But the progression aspect should work

 

Eg if aircraft is landed & parked in one piece after flying the route & getting the confirmation of flying at wing tip with the boss plane etc then the next step should unlock

 

The first fly around part looks really nice good job but it must work as a progressional step by step sequence no hassle

 

Ps it did do this & I looked at the 2nd mission but after leaving & shutting down PC the next time it started me back at the first one again with no way to continue where I’d left off , am I suppose to save or something ?

It does work for most people, so I'm trying to figure out what you're doing differently. Does this happen even if you try to fly the 2nd mission right after the first one? That is, you get the mission score screen, you DON'T get a campaign failure screen, then you hit next?

 

Try to download tacview and see if you're counted as "dead" for any reason. That would explain it.

[adrianstealth]

Everything works fine , the 2nd mission comes straight after the first

I’ve gone as far as loading up the 2nd mission straight after completing the 1st one

 

Then I exit so i can start the2nd the next time I go on pc ( maybe next day )

But when I do it starts me at the 1st mission again )-:

& I can’t seem to find away to get it to start me at the 2nd mission

 

Sorry if it’s my fault but I can’t see anyway to do it

 

I did try to save but a box with folders & things popped up so I just deregarded that

 

Big thanks for your help here , the first flying mission looks & feels great

I can only hope that removing the "unit alive" condition will fix it, as I haven't come accross anything like this.

 

Have you tried to run a "repair" with the dcs updater?

[adrianstealth]

Yes did that a while ago

 

I’ve succesfully flown the 1st mission & progressed to the 2nd mission fir the 7th time

 

I’ve gone into 2nd mission but had to go so pressed quit etc to exit DCS & shutdown

Next time I boot up pc & try it will show on the stat 7 successful missions ( all 1st) no deaths

But will start me back on first again

 

It should really list all missions then tick next to each one when complete then allow user to select the next mission & not loose any progress

[warrene]

Progressing does not work for me either. 100 mission success, exit not eject, score tallied. But in order to continue to the next mission I must edit the log book.

[Reflected]

I just submitted an updated version to ED, now the player unit being alive is not a condition for success anymore. Let's hope it will make it into the next update and solve the issue.

[adrianstealth]

Totally given up

 

The 1st mission flying with the lead plane is very nice

But I don’t want to go through this each time just to get to the 2nd mission

 

Bad move for me but thanks for help etc

Wait for the next update, or otherwise you can open and play the missions separately, not as a campaign. I've tested it a couple of times and it works, not sure why it wouldn't let you progress.

[adrianstealth]

it does allow me to progress every time no problem

 

but after shutting down PC & returning days later it starts right back at beginning again

 

it doesn't save position although it shows my successful missions stat

not tried the update yet but i think no change as i never crashed or died
