ericinexile Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Just finished Chapter Three and I have to say the tweaks really improved the playability. If you previously found the campaign to be a bit frustrating you might consider playing through the new version. Thanks for the update Wags! (P.S. In case you missed it, the updated campaign was released separately from the upcoming patch and is available in the "Files" link on the DCS front page.) 1 Smokin' Hole My DCS wish list: Su25, Su30, Mi24, AH1, F/A-18C, Afghanistan ...and frankly, the flight sim world should stop at 1995.

Teknetinium Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I missed this, would be definitely enjoyable if ED could assign someone who is good at making campaigns, so we could get new one etch 3 mouths. Thank you I'm of to test this one. 51st PVO Discord SATAC YouTube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

connos Posted June 29, 2009 Share Posted June 29, 2009 I just tried one mission that I couldn't finish before, whatever I tried to do it was impossible and now I completed it with 90% score. That's awesome. I will restart the oil campaign for sure. I like that some missions now are starting with 50% score. Its easiest to accomplish your objectives and its also more logical in defensive missions.

xtaffy Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 files Do you just copy all files into the "mission" folder or over write them in the campaign folder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connos Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 Do you just copy all files into the "mission" folder or over write them in the campaign folder? Backup your existing ones just in case and over write the ones in the campaign folder.

kaiserb_uk Posted June 30, 2009 Share Posted June 30, 2009 What's the difference between the "Georgian Oil War", and the "Oil War Chapter 1/2/3"? Are they part of the same campaign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericinexile Posted June 30, 2009 Author Share Posted June 30, 2009 The campaign begins in Northern Georgia with Chapter 1 and continues south through victory at the end of Chapter 3. The Grand Campaign groups all three into one campaign. It's a little easier completing one at a time.

Big_les Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 This is great news - I d/l the new files a few weeks back but was sceptical that they would actually change things enough. Time to try and remember how to fly the damned thing now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
connos Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 The change enough thinks to make the missions more realistic like the attack and defense missions now are starting with 50% score!! This is the most obvious change but there others not so obvious.

ED Team Wags Posted July 11, 2009 ED Team Share Posted July 11, 2009 Off the top of my head, changes made include: - Various identified scripting errors fixed - Player killed point penalty removed - Cold start on missions that do not have fixed timing issues - Vista warning removed - Mission titles based on mission type removed to avoid confusion - All offensive missions now are rated between 51 and 100 to provide more random mission assignment due to players always trying to max score at 100 - Force on force missions now start player at 50 pts. - Radar SAMs in third chapter removed. - Recon zones increased to 3,000 meters - AD systems at route points have less chance of appearing now.

goldfinger35 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 O.K., after playing this new oil war campaign, I have noticed something that I dislike (and I didn't notice it in the default campaign); in many campaign missions two AI Ka-50s spawn (in briefing screen one is called Wags). They usually have a head start so they arrive at targets before me and destroy most targets before I arrive there. If I hurry me and my wingman manage to destory left-overs. I have attached one log file as an eample. Now, Wags, why did you put yourself (as a Superman) in the campaign?debrief.rar i7 920@4.0Ghz, 12 GB RAM, ATI 4890, LG L246WHX@1920x1200, Saitek X52 Pro, Saitek pro flight rudder pedals, TrackIR4, Audigy 2ZS, Logitech G9x, Vista 64bit.

Itkovian Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 So, as I understand it, I should replace the current Georgian Oil War campaign with the one in the files section? How do I do so? Also, I was wondering: what is the difference between the GOW campaign and the Oil War 1-2-3 campaigns? Are they different, or is it the main campaign split up in various parts?

connos Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 If you install the latest patch you don't need to do this, the campaign is updated threw the patch. What you said it's true, main GOW split in 3 parts.

Celo63 Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 I've just patched to V1.0.1b from 1.0. Is this tweaked campaign included in the patch file or do I have to download it separately? Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sobek Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 It's a separate download somewhere in the files section i think. Good, fast, cheap. Choose any two. Come let's eat grandpa! Use punctuation, save lives! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
