Mission 3 and Mission 4

[FriedrichNix]

I encountered a few ... abnormalities (DCS World v.2.9.15.9599.1)

In Mission 3:
After start and takeoff until LOADING NEXT TASK, I got an error "Could not load Speed and Angels - 03b_Parade.miz". After restarting the mission in the campaign window, it worked.

In Mission 4:
On the next day, I got the same bug with the first LOADING NEXT TASK, DCS could not load Speed and Angels - 04b_Intercept.miz. After restarting in the mission selection from the campaign window, it worked.

Mission 4:
Sound files for taxiing to the runway at start didn't play. Mission intro worked, ATIS worked and when I finally just taxied, the checklist items worked. All communication with ground and tower until after wheels up didn't play

Mission 4:
Maybe not a bug: Grading for LATT was recieved, after switching tasks (RTB), from that time though, it wasn't possible to redo the LATT evaluation. To get to this quickly (after landing and finishing the mission), I loaded up "Speed and Angels - 04d_LATT.miz" in the mission editor to practice LATT some more.

 

So far awesome campaign! It really keeps the pressure on and I feel constantly like I am evaluated as a pilot. I learn a lot and with retaking the evaluation, it gives a lot of practice. Still after Mission 4 (and the whole Zone 5 campaing) I feel already a better pilot for the F14. Thank you for the great experience!

Yeah sometimes the load mission function just fails randomly for some people. It’s just dcs
 

if some chatter doesn’t play take a screenshot of your message history menu. Otherwise I can’t figure out what you missed.  Probably something in the taxi checks?

I have seen the messages on screen like "Chico: Switching 2" (or something like that). Just no chatter. Checklist items were coming through (heard the chatter between Chico and 'You') and checklist was done properly. Later message was displayed on screen "Hold short Runway 3R, do not cross the line". I waited. I then saw that Chico switched channels and then the message disappeared. I figured, I may take off and did so (as done in the missions before). So I guess everything went fine "internally", only that the chatter between ground and tower was not heard for some strange reason. After takeoff I could hear the departure/approach messages again.

No biggie, I can try and stream-record it. I also can wait for the next DCS update and see if the problem still exists for me and then stram-record, if you are interested. 

I am able to advance through the mission and my RAG (1v1 next up at the time of writing).

I guess you turned on the hud before the engines were running.

Unfortunately the G Breathing Effect is not audible for me. I changed every audio option and I cannot make it out. It is very stressfull, not to have a feedback, when to overstress the airframe. I put on G-Effect to simulation, but I never get a blackout either. Kind of frustrating... although I know, it's got nothing to do with the campaign, but rather with DCS core.
