brodie4598 Posted May 27, 2024 Posted May 27, 2024 Have started this mission 4 times now and it seems like it must be bugged. After the mission starts it tells me to make sure I am tuned to Texaco and press space. I am tuned to UHF preset 5. I have pressed space 100 times and nothing happens. I turn south anyway - nothing happens.

Must be an issue on your end, from experience most likely culprits are: - A mod causing some sort of conflict, if you have any installed I recommend removing them and trying again. - Another user recently had an issue with the DCS 'press spacebar command' not working because they had recently set up some DCS general controls (the ones for UI layer/general not aircraft specific ones) that were using the spacebar, this was causing a conflict. - It is possible to accidentally cancel the spacebar command by pressing backspace, but it's unlikely you did this every time. - Assuming you don't have easy comms enabled if you're this this far into the campaign, but worth double checking. Hope some of that helps, if not send a track and I'll run it my end to see if I can see anything wrong.

The issue is after turning the comm 1 volume knob up, you need to re-set the preset on the DED. Start mission During active pause, note the comm one is channel 5 and comm 1 volume is off Turn up comm 1 volume knob Press space to start mission When prompted, press space to conatct Texaco - nothing happens Press Comm 1, then 5 then enter to -re-set the UHF channel 5 Press space - trigger works Love the campaign, was sad to get stuck like this but I'm excitedly back at it. Just bought your other campaigns too. Cheers

Cheers Thanks for the update, sounds like a bizarre viper bug must be blocking DCS detecting the radio frequency when you turn up the volume, very strange but glad you figured it out. Appreciate you picking up the other campaigns, thanks for the support!
