Hi! I bought F-4 today on Steam. It is downloaded and installed. Training missions and Instant action in-game do not work. It says: ,, Please wait until your aircraft is prepared,, with a big Phantom picture across the screen. When going to multiplayer servers, I go to SELECT ROLE option and choose F-4 from the aircraft list. The list with highlighted slots appears, but when clicking on pilot position nothing happens. My call name does not appear  to the right of the screen. Other modules work as usual. Any idea what it might be and how to fix it? Thank you.

I don’t use steam anymore, so I‘m not quite sure how it is supposed to work. May it be, that you still have to activate the module inside the module manager inside DCS? (main menu screen, top left)

One needs to link one's Steam account on one's profile in the ED shop. Seems this have worked, or it wouldn't have been available for installation.

Do you know the process step by step? I will give it a try. Never heard of it before so not having idea what steps linking profiles consist of.

My bad! I assumed incorrectly that you were on Standalone and had linked your Steam account. I don't use Steam either. Try to "verify" the DCS files through your Steam library, to see if that helps. If it doesn't, post your DCS.log file found under your DCS Saved Games folder.
Cheers!

Interesting.... 

Yes, I got my F-4E from Steam and I did see the panel of "Please wait until your aircraft is prepared" and it was closed when it was ready.

Why not to execute "Verify Integrity of game files" under the collection property's installed files.

Why not try to uninstall from steam and reinstall again?

 

 

I will try uninstall and install it again tomorrow. Steam does not show ,,verify DCS files,, option on Steam, as MAXsenna suggested, so uninstall sounds like next logical steps. Thank you.

Rainbowgirl, which lesson did you try?
Was it maybe Lesson 02 - Taxi or Lesson 03 - Takeoff?

Yes, exactly these two in training section. In single player- instant action loads as usually, but after clicking on FLY button map and all assests on the map work normally, just Phantom is missing.  F1, F2 view....etc don`t teleport me to the plane. I am going to delete the file and download it again. That may help.

. Steam does not show ,,verify DCS files,,

If you right click over DCS in steam and then select properties. In the dialog that appears. select 'Installed Files' on the left and you will see a 'Verify integrity of game files' button

Thank you. I have performed Integrity of game files verification in ,,Installed Files,, several times. Whole game including all DLCs was verified first. Phantom still did not work afterwards. Other modules yes. Then I ran about 5 following verification selecting just base game files and F-4 modules in order to speed-up the process. After every verification I restarted PC and launched DCS game from Steam. Nothing helped. Spent 2 hours on it today and that`s it...... I will try some other day. Don`t want to waste any more time on it this evening.. Maybe after next official  patch Phantom will work. Attaching a screenshot after verification. Maybe someone may have idea whether the screenshot is of any help.

The message on picture says that 2 files failed verification and will be reacquired. However this message shows every time....so those files are not getting reacquired. Not sure what to do next.

Tomorrow. Can you try to exclude the DCS install folders from your Anti-Virus solution, then verify again, and post your DCS.log from your Saved Games.
Cheers!

Oh,Ok. That sounds good. I will try. No harm in that. Then I will need to learn somehow how to post DCS.log from my saved games, hehe. Wish me luck.

You're welcome. Too bad it didn't work. Feel free to shout out if you want to get back into the saddle again. Enjoy your break!
