Rudel_chw Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) Hello, The eight training missions that ED provides for the L-39, are multilingual .. meaning that they show the briefing and instructor's messages on either Russian, English, German, Chinese or Czech. However, the instructor's voice is available only in russian language. So, following the example set by @Highwayman-Ed, who added voiceovers to the Cold Start mission but lacked time to do the remaining missions, I added english voiceovers to the EN localization, leaving intact the russian voiceovers for the other locales. I'm not a native-english speaker, so I chose to use synthetic text-to-speech voices, but they are very clear and I chose one with a nice UK accent that I hope will be pleasant enough. You can download these missions on this link: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3324732/ I kept the nice logo image that @Highwayman-Ed created for his version, hope he doesnt mind To install, you can just replace the default training missions, that are at /Program Files/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/, and they will work just as the standard training of DCS does. I open this thread to provide support for these missions, in case a user finds a bug with them. I hope new users will find them useful.

Rudel_chw Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Hello again, I added the voiceovers to the ED's training missions because I'm returning to this aircraft after many years and so I wanted to do the training again as a resfresher course. However, I don't have the time to do all the training on one or two days, so I was thinking that I needed a way to remember at what stage of the training I am, just to avoid loading by mistake a mission that I already did. So, I was thinking: "Why not add these missions as if they were a Campaign, instead of just Training Missions?" ... so I made a quick Campaign build, and ended up with this: This way I can see what training missions I've already done, and also feel embarrased at how many tries each lesson took I made a quick edit to each mission, to make sure that they give a result score of at least 50, so if I fail the mission I won't "step back" to a previous already completed training stage. I'd love to hear your comments on this, What do you prefer? .. the Campaign-like approach shown above, or the standard Training interface, where you see all missions on the training program, like this: Please, comment if you are interested on this subject Thanks. 2 3 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once I've fully tested it, I might include the CMP file on the original download, as an option for the user.

hsth Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Hello Rudel, this is/was a very great idea. Just hoping that you can add the campaign file to the download section. Question: does the campaign install also mean that the files won't be overridden by future updates? Will they install into Saved Games? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will they install into Saved Games? Well, the prototype you see on my prior post is actually at /Saved Games/ but I was actually intending to place the final version at the DCS program folder, so that the same mission could appear on both the L-39 Training menu and also on the L-39 Campaign section, giving the user both approaches on a single install. I doubt a dcs update would overwrite them, well unless ED decides to add proper human-speaked voiceovers For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi all, Unfortunately, I was not able to have either the Campaign or the Training, refer to the same MIZ files using relative path references. So, the only way to have this campaign approach to work, is to duplicate the missions, which seems like a waste. This is how the training looks when setup as an L-39 campaign: I will test this a bit more, before deciding if it is worth to place it at DCS User Files, or if it would confuse some DCS players.

Johnny Dioxin Posted July 9, 2022 Share Posted July 9, 2022 Is the Open Beta required for this? I tried yesterday and got a notice saying it was a newer version - I did need to update DCSW release, so I did so. But today it's still telling me its for a newer version.

Hello, Yes, unfortunately at the moment you would need Openbeta. If you wait for the next stable update (which should be near), the mission will load without warning messages. This happens because at the moment the Openbeta Mission Editor is version 22, and the missions created with it are marked like this: The Editor can load previous version's missions with no issue, but it gives a warning if you load a mission created by a newer Editor. It seems that the current Stable DCS has Editor version 20 and so it warns you when trying to load a mission created with the newer v21 Editor. 1 For work: iMac mid-2010 of 27" - Core i7 870 - 6 GB DDR3 1333 MHz - ATI HD5670 - SSD 256 GB - HDD 2 TB - macOS High Sierra For Gaming: 34" Monitor - Ryzen 3600X - 32 GB DDR4 2400 - nVidia GTX1070ti - SSD 1.25 TB - HDD 10 TB - Win10 Pro - TM HOTAS Cougar - Oculus Rift CV1 Mobile: iPad Pro 12.9" of 256 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virgo47 Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 I'd like to have it as a Campaign actually. The disk space is no problem for me - we're talking DCS after all, so gigabyte here and there... what is it? I'd also rather not to mess with the original files, so I prefer using Saved Games (user files). BTW: For a short while I was considering doing the voice-over in pseudo-Russian accent... something like this: I really didn't get too far with it though.
