important Raven One: Dominant Fury - current status / bugs / workarounds

[baltic_dragon]

Guys, any freezes are not with the campaign itself but on DCS side of things, and there is nothing I can do to help here - and I cannot reproduce any of these on my end (also most of the people do not experience any problems). This often is linked to using 3rd party mods, old drivers or some new DCS bugs that were introduced since the release of the campaign, but in any case fixing those is out of any 3rd party campaign developer - the only thing we can do is to report them, but only if we manage to isolate the cause of the crash on the vanilla mission... try running a repair and disabling any 3rd party unofficial mods for starters.. and updating your drivers.

I got those CTDs again.

The last time I had some I updated all my drivers with no success.

On Liberation campaign I just made sure all aircrafts weren't going back to the boat at the same time and seemed to work.

Just read the changelog, no mention of the F-14 at all, has anyone tried the broken missions (6&12 mostly)? cant believe several updates in and ED/HB still havent addressed this yet!?!!

Mostly because ED is taking forever to admit there is a bug before actually starting to work on it ...

[AdrianL]

Only coming in September, unless there is a hotfix

[hanypopoo]

still no fix for the M12?

[AngelAtTheTomb]

Man. I had gotten all the way through M12 right after release...waited a couple months and started from the beginning, after glancing at patch notes and seeing this campaign mentioned.

 

M06 still no comms after warning about civ traffic. M12 apparently still broken.

 

ED, come on. Either fix the attendant AI issues or tell BD they won't be fixed so he can make changes.

 

This is your flagship campaign maker for one of your flagship modules. This is the kind of thing that gets people burned out on DCS altogether.

[baltic_dragon]

Hey guys, I'll need to update this thread - but also decided to go ahead and make workarounds for M6 and 12 for the time being, as I am not sure when the Tomcat fixes are going to make it... so if they are not in the next update, I will arm the F-14s with dumb bombs for 6 and 12 temporarily so you guys can finish them. 

Thanks for the thread about the freezes and crashes - it indeed seems to be caused by the Tomcat, but here I can't do anything about it so we will have to wait for the fix! 

[CH4Pz]

For anyone wondering i just tried Mission 6 with the latest update, and still no comms after WP2, so we'll have to wait for the workaround in this months update

[AngelAtTheTomb]

FWIW, I tried editing M06 myself, by switching the Tomcats to use Mk-84s and switching the Bombing task to use "Bombs" instead of "Guided Bombs." No joy. They still just bug out after hitting their IP. Near as I can tell they don't even fly over the airport, they just head out to sea and fly around in circles.

[baltic_dragon]

Heatblur didn't find the solution for the bombs so far, but I have prepared a workaround myself for M6 and 12, it will be included in the next patch. With dumb bombs it works OK. 

[PB0_corse66]

Or you can change them for F18. Both will work I guess

HI!

I'm having some issues with this campaign specially regarding DataLink. I perform standard startup procedure and sometimes and in many missions I don't get any D/L data at all.

I'm running DCS Open Beta.

Any thoughts on this?

Regards

PD: Yeah I know how to perform an star up procedure in the Hornet  XD

Maybe it is because the datalink has changed.

The first menu you get when you click D/L is for the ACLS.

You have to click twice on D/L and then click ON.

Hope this helps.

Sadly still exactly the same crash, just under 50nm from Mother.

Hello guys.

On M08, I'm trying to add a new WP with precise coordinates (WP6) with the coordinates of the kneeboard and I get a UFC ERROR when trying to edit. Non precise coordinate is not working either.

Also tried to edit the existing TGT WP (WP3) and get ERROR too.

I've tried as testing outside of campaign and editing works OK.

Cheers

Sadly Mission 8 still freezes and I have to force quit the games within 40nm of Mother.

Just flew mission 12, everything worked until I was within 40nm of the get well point and then it did the same as Mission 8.

Seems the Tomcats are a curse in DCS at this point

[paloncho]

M08 crashed.

Game crashes after successful attack on target.

Spoiler

Attack on P35 DMPI successful. All other flights reported 100/100.

After that, successful engage on three fleeing vehicles leaving south-east and after declaring dry on weapons, Pistol 36 engaged and got hit by SAM/AAA. Game crashed when trying to escort him flying west while he was giving reports on damages (very low altitude).

 

[baltic_dragon]

Sorry about this guys. I cannot reproduce it on my end (also because my gaming PC is being repaired more than one month now) - but it seems to me like the Tomcat bug is still there... I'll try to follow up with Heatblur.

I'm in the same boat. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with the AI flights returning to mother before you. Sometime after they start trapping on the carrier the game crashes.

A few months ago I was experiencing the same CTDs in Liberation Dynamic Campaign.

I started to suspect the Tomcats and then the fact that too many planes were coming back to Mother at the same time.

I re-arranged my missions so that the different flights were coming back with enough time interval.

I've never had any CTDs after that.

I tried to convince ED guys to investigate in that way but they never took it seriously.

[pieroboy99]

So if there's nothing to do, i'll have to drop that mission AGAIN, as it already arrived once with M8 i think !

Too bad.....as i'm a great fan of  @baltic_dragon 's work !!!
