Unfortunatelly DCS keeps crashing as soon as i encounter MIGs (either i shoot it down or switch F2 to look at it…

Any idea what might be the problem?

[ataribaby]

Any DCS.log? Never encountered such a problem in my playtest.

Hi ataribaby, just some little questions:

1_ Can you explain with a little more details how to use the campaign in single player mode? I have read the readme.txt, but i want to know what type of .miz file i have to use for completing a mission, close DCS and restart with "persistence" of the units? Because there are mission-loader.miz, mission stage.miz, etc.

2_ And the first task is "destroy 20 enemy aircraft". If i finish this task, there are other types of task after that?

3_ I can only use sidewinders or 550. Not Matra 530. This is an issue or it's normal?

Sorry if i make typos, English is not my native language, ant i try to wrote without google trad.

And thanks for your work!

Hi kaiseracd

#1 you always start campaign with DDC_Desert_Miracle_mission_loader.miz or if you want start new then run DDC_Desert_Miracle_mission_reset.miz and after that  DDC_Desert_Miracle_mission_loader.miz as normal, no matter if you are in SP or in MP,

You can exit mission anytime, progress and time and date will be persisted next time you continue campaign with DDC_Desert_Miracle_mission_loader.miz.

Technical note: DDC_Desert_Miracle_mission_loader.miz always generates actual mission DDC_Desert_Miracle_mission_stage.miz based on DDC_Desert_Miracle_mission_stage_template.miz and loads it automatically. 

#2 It is only task, it is pure air superiority campaign.

#3 Thats how it is, I limited loadout only to IR missiles for both sides. You can open DDC_Desert_Miracle_mission_stage_template.miz and change that pylon restricitions if you want.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for the reply, i have finished the mission, and it is really fun. thanks for your work!

[ataribaby]

Glad that you liked it

[solidGad]

this mission looks like fun. how do the stages work? how do you move on to the next stage or is it automatic? 

[ataribaby]

It is automatic. Each stage last some time that is persisted even if you quit mission in middle it will continue from that point.

[Stratos]

But for SP what I need to load? The loader mission gives me nothing but a empty map and no planes to choose.

[ataribaby]

Yes, loader mission. You forgot to do required steps in MissionScripting.lua per readme.
