@Kurnass1977Updated mission 01 to fix F-14 issue: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3326679/

 

Thanks again!

[Kurnass1977]

Wow thanks sir!!!

@Sedlo, sorry mate, finished the second attempt at the mission "Transit" and for the second time I scored 60. I respected the push time, fired the Harpoon at the frigates, sunk the boghammers and followed all the other instructions but always with the same result. There're not final message of Mission Succesful or debriefing on the frigates attack result. I've missed something? All the previous mission scored 100 so don't know why and/or what missed ...

As side note, reflying the campaign with more experience on the Hornet result in such more satisfaction in light of the more awarness I developed in the years ( think 2) since the first time played Bold Cheetah. Again thanks for all

[Sedlo]

Thanks for the report.  I’ll have a look this weekend.

Also, in terms of mission results don’t worry about the score so much, it really doesn’t mean anything in terms of mission success.

As long as you score over 50, you will go onto the next level.

It could be a trigger that has changed with the landing on the ship.

Ok thanks

Anyone else having trouble loading Mission 13? It crashes immediately after starting. Have tried multiple times.

[Sedlo]

@dporter22, I just tried both versions, no crash on my end.   Can you send me the dcs.log or crashlog text?  Either cut/paste where the crash happened?

[dporter22]

Logs attached, thanks for checking.

[Sedlo]

OK, gotcha.  Just looking at the log and I just want to narrow it down.  It seems like you may be using an older version of the campaign.  Can you download the latest version and try to load mission 13 again?

Also, any mods installed?

[dporter22]

That's odd. No mods and I downloaded the current version from the DCS website.

[Kurnass1977]

Finished again the Campaign two or three days ago without problem

OK, copy that.  

The error is showing in a terrain dll.  Might be worth to try and run a repair and delete the metashaders and fxo folders from you Saved Games / DCS folder.

There is a chance that your memory might be a bit too low for the mission... try maybe reducing some of the quality settings, too.

[dporter22]

Ok, thank you. Strange that all the other missions worked except this one.

[Sedlo]

There are maybe more units in this mission than the others... But that's my best guess for now, sorry I don't know what else to suggest.

Mission 3 start I am directed to cat 1 for launch and it's full of parked Hornets.

Oh no!  I think something has changed yet again with the carrier..

Thanks for the report, I'll try and get that fixed ASAP.   Recommend "start from push" for that one... Sorry!

[Sedlo]

Hey @Steel Jaw, this might have already been fixed.  Try and download version 2025-04-26 here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3326679/

What I had to do was basically delete ALL parked statics on the bow as the directors started to ignore them.

WILCO and will report back, cheers.

Problem is still there, this is really a DCS supercarrier issue.

OK, I’ll have a look tonight… Is it a full line of static F-18s on cat one?

Aye, correct, in Mission 1 and 3 so far.

OK, double checked and deleted them from missions.   I'm getting pretty frustrated as it was working before.   Unannounced under the hood changes are pretty annoying, I'm sorry you had problems.  Download 2025-08-05 version and all should be well: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3326679/

Thanks Steeljaw!

Cheers, brother.
