DCS AH-64D MAD Campaign.

[HMSSURP]

Sir or ma'am,

      I just wanted to bring to your attention two problems I found with this campaign.

First:  The second to last mission when you destroy the convoy and are supposed to move down the valley, the game gets locked up here with your flight lead just doing circles obove the destroyed convoy.

Second, many of the missions do not allow for editing load out in the mission planner prior to the start of the mission.  This is problematic because the last two missions also do not allow for changes in mission in the farp and you are started with radar guided missiles but no radar.

     Thank you for your time and consideration!

I can't see my partner on the map via the data link. Am I the only one with such a problem? Give instructions on how to do this?

I'm having issues with this campaign as well. Not being able to edit yourself in most missions is really baffling to me considering most loadouts you start with have way too much fuel loaded and force you to also carry an internal fuel tank when the mission times don't call for at least 1/4 of the fuel the missions start you with. 

I'm on the mission "Sweltering Heat" and the airbase's targets are far too numerous for just me and my partner help to take out with 32 missles between us when there's no way for me to task him to take out specific types of targets. I can destroy most of what's there by myself but then once I'm out of Hellfire missles I pretty much have to just leave the Firezone and RTB for resupply which seems like either I'm doing something wildly wrong or the mission targets don't trigger RTB till they are all destroyed and adds a rediculous amount of time to the mission. Combined with the fact that there are no checkpoints I'm getting very frustrated

I've been having fun but with reading the problems you are having on the last two missions make me not want to complete it.

Good day, gentlemen. I'm sorry, but I saw this thread by accident.
Technical support is provided in another topic.

All your feedback and error logs have been accepted, I will fix everything that has not been fixed yet as soon as possible.

There is no possibility to edit the weapons and fuel mounts, as this is part of the scenario.
Fuel bags for testing and understanding a heavy helicopter are a simulation of a very long flight. But I will take your wishes into account. I will be glad if you rate the AH-64D OUTPOST.

Thanks for considering the thoughts i have laid out here. You made an excellent campaign the only issues i have is the inability to edit your loadouts. For example on almost every mission you make us carry an internal fuel tank taking up precious space for 30mm cannon ammunition when in most of the circumstances i seen during my playthrough you don't require the extra fuel for the mission time to complete. In other instances the additional external fuel tanks arent needed and the missions can be completed without those.

 

I understand the want to teach heavy helicopter flight for simulation purposes but i think the mission actually needs to warrant the heavy load for it to not just be excessive for the sake of forcing the player into that situation.making missions have a longer flight time to warrant that extra load would make it a much more enjoyable and realistic mission experience for players instead of just being a nuisance.

Thanks for the feedback!
I understood your idea about fuel and will create such an option in the future.
I assure you that the amount of fuel is too much only in mission 2.
In the other missions, it is selected for the mission time +30 minutes for players with less experience.
I set this amount during numerous tests.

PS I thought we were discussing OUTPOST AH-64D, but we are talking about MAD AH-64D.
I will check again and make corrections to the missions
