jfnelson0127 Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 Hi all, I've read that the F-14 mission, Operation Cage The Bear, has been updated with the supercarrier as a replacement for the original John C Stennis. When I get into the game, I am still seeing the Stennis as the carrier. Do I need to manually install something to make the change take place?I am running the latest version of the open beta and have the supercarrier module purchased and installed. Appreciate the help.

JN Hello, this is my campaign. If you go into Campaign > F14 (NOT 'My Campaigns') you should see the Supercarrier version in your campaigns. Let me know if not?
draconus Posted June 14, 2020 Posted June 14, 2020 There are two versions of this campaign for Tomcat - the one with Hot start is using Stennnis, the Cold start one is with Supercarrier. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Rift S T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
jfnelson0127 Posted June 17, 2020 Author Posted June 17, 2020 Thanks Kaba. I see the Operation CTB in my campaigns, but when I run the campaign I am back on the Stennis. Appreciate some help getting this fixed.

You should see two versions. Please make screeshots of the campaigns for F-14 module and also from module manager where it shows your Supercarrier module installed and enabled.

Wizz Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Hi Kaba, all, I'm having the same issue with CTB and Supercarrier (i.e. the cold start campaign still has the default carrier). Screenshot attached showing the available F-14 campaigns. DCS Supercarrier is enabled and used regularly with other mission types. I've installed DCS F-14 and then Supercarrier as they were released, but I'm not sure if I need to do something else. Any help would be much appreciated to use this great new module in this fantastic campaign. Edited July 8, 2020 by Wizz
Wizz Posted July 8, 2020 Posted July 8, 2020 I should note that I'm only running the latest DCS stable (2.5.6) and not Beta version.

HawaiiHawk Posted May 30, 2021 Posted May 30, 2021 Hey saba, quick question. On the 1st Cage the Bear mission using the Supercarrier Cold Start version, the 1 message I see is something like "Engine start is delayed. Standby." I then wait for what seems like 10 minutes but nothing else happens. Am I missing some trigger or is the wait for engine start longer than 10 minutes. Thanks!

Hello mate - sorry I missed this message. I've just tested the version in yesterday's update and didn't have this issue, i spawned in a few seconds as designed - would you mind letting me know if it's still happening?

I didn't send a very good initial question. The mission loads fine and everything is working, I just never received a notification to start after the original "Start is delayed" message. In any case, I just get started each time and I'm up to the 3rd mission. Great work! Thank you. 1

Yeah, there is no such message. As soon as you get into the cockpit you have control. Unless specified otherwise in the briefing you can start away if cats are free.

Hey Kaba, I am flying this mission now and I am having difficulty triggering the victory in mission #1. All bogies are down, no missiles went through and I can't get the victory and RTB trigger. I saw someone else had the same issue on a reddit thread and it was not resolved. That person said the summary said 28/30 aircraft down and they could not find the missing 2. I don't know about that but I thought it might help. How do I get the victory with Mission #1? Cheers! Murdycap232.
Spike88 Posted November 5, 2024 Posted November 5, 2024 It appears that the cold start version of this campaign isn’t in the current version of the game. I tried verifying install and also reinstalling the super carrier module but no dice. 1

Bealdor Posted November 6, 2024 Posted November 6, 2024 What a terrible decision. Why oh why would one choose to keep the hot start instead of the cold start version?? Bringing the Tomcat to live from cold&dark and getting ready for the cat shot is one of the best parts of any carrier op. I don't get this. 3
