mac22 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Running the latest DCS open beta version (using MT) and finding when I run some of SP instant action missions for the WW2 aircraft (such as spitfire, P47 or Mustang) and over Normandy map seem to be getting almost no ground/flak fire even when I fly right over the enemy (german) positions? (even thought in dogfights the enemy aircraft are firing) - just wondering what might be causing this and if there is a setting I need to change to get this working properly?(AI level for example) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(specifically where can I find the file) - assume then I just need to ROE section of the unit? also read somewhere previously there might have been a bug where flak was only active between certain hours (but guessing this must have been fixed!)

Ah interesting that an instant action mission would be a problem. But with DCS nothing is sacred. Go into ME and click open file. Then browse to the folder in the main DCS install folder. I like to go into File Explorer and find the file and copy it to My Missions in Saved Games. Then you won't break a default mission.
