Save Game - DISCLAIMER

[Reflected]

The Save Game feature is finally here. It's a great step in the right direction, and I'm sure it will be improved down the line and make DCS a more user friendly experience.

BUT

You need to remember that I have the same access to DCS as you: the mission editor. I can guarantee that my missions work, but I cannot guarantee that the save game feature does. Based on official communication this first iteration is currently aimed more at simple missions, not extremely complex ones like my campaigns, where all sorts of triggers and scripts are firing all the time.

So please do not post any bug reports that happened AFTER you saved and loaded a mission, because I'll have no way of figuring it out. I'm sure ED will keep improving the feature based on user feedback and one day you'll be able to save the most complex missions at any time. And that will be a real game changer.

Thanks!

It seems save game isn't available for any campaigns. None I've checked at least, so I gave up checking.
Reflying Paradise Lost, trying to "Iron Man" it, and some of those missions are long and have multiple steps. I hope ED gets it working with campaigns soon.

They dont work even if you use a campaign mission as a single mission, I saved mission 9 of Wolfpack campaign as a single mission after 45 minutes of flying, was already across the channel. When I replayed the mission , my plane was just on top of the airfield I took off from.

What I do is if I dont have the time, I just fly the campaign mission until I can, leave it paused, and continue later that day when I have time, I enjoy Reflected campaigns immensely, they are fantastic.
