Bliksem Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 After my entire list of created, saved missions disappeared from an aircrafts Quickstart.lua file I did some troubleshooting and discovered that if you save a 13th mission to the it somehow will not be read when launching the Instant Action menu. Deleting the 13th mission brings back the whole list. Is that true, Is there any way around that limit? I prefer to use the Instant Action menu as its quicker and easier than hunting and pecking around the folders in MyMissions or the Mission Editor to launch the flie then fly it. Maybe I'm not using the DCS file system or ME correctly or there's a better way to access these missions easily (open to suggestions!) Using OpenBeta v2.8.8.43704 Thanks!

Good Point - maybe its only an issue for mods, not the standard ED and community aircraft (FC3, F-16, F-14 etc.). The two aircraft I noticed this with were Grinnelli's F-22 and VSN's Eurofighter - both unofficial mods. So I tested creating/ saving missions to 3 'standard' AC (A-10, F-16, F-14) but I received permission errors and wasn't able to save - am guessing their Quick Start folders are read only. Would be good to know if there is such a limit for unofficial mods... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
