If you get stuck, read this

I'm opening this thread to save me a lot of typing

1) Read the darn briefings. I spent ages building them, they will tell you everything you need to know about the missions.

2) even if you don't, the missions should still progress: it's because when there's something you absolutely MUST do, there will be a message on screen with a BEEP until you do it. If you ignore that message, the mission won't progress. A great example is the checklists. You won't get takeoff clearance until you complete the taxi checks. If you're not sure what you missed, check the message history menu, and also the checklist on your kneeboard.

3) Watch the tutorials on my YouTube channel.

4) There's a frequently occurring problem: one of the triggers is looking for the flaps being up. Many people only move to switch to the middle position (slats out), so the trigger doesn't fire. Make sure the flap switch really is in the UP position after takeoff

5) If you still get stuck, please post a screenshot of the message history menu so I can see the last messages. It's a lot more helpful than a track or tacview (which I don't even have)

6) I do not work for Heatblur, nor am I an ED developer, I have the same access to DCS as you. I know, sometimes it's not easy to tell what causes a bug, but I can not do anything if the core game gets broken or the F-4 does, it's best to report those issues to ED or Heatblur. E.g. there are no triggers that can make your game crash, and no ways of building a mission to make sure it doesn't happen. Just like the mission editor is not helpful if your joystick breaks, that's an extreme example, but you get my point

Alright have fun, and remember to send me those screenshots of the message history menu if there is a problem. Thanks!
