They are never touch by DCS unless I perform a repair.

well, you get the idea  

My campaigns are organized the same way.

I have all terrains, almost all modules and majority of paid campaigns. I normally choose the module first and then the terrain and campaign or mission I would like to fly. Therefore I organized everything accordingly.

I've tried the first & second missions, but the voice instructions don't seem to  always progress to the next instruction. In the first start up mission, after completing an instruction , the next instruction sometimes doesn't happen for a minute  or two.  The mission didn't say when it was completed, I just guessed it was done. In the second taxi & take off mission, no instructions happened after the control input check before take off. After waiting  a couple of minutes & no more instructions happening, I went ahead & took off & landed ,then quit the mission to find out I had failed. Maybe there's a problem with my campaign install, I want this to work though because I think it's a great idea.

Hi!

In general, especially missions 1 and 2 that require certain cockpit elements to be used, wait for them to be actually clicked/moved. If you do not do that, then naturally nothing will happen.
You did not mention when this happened in M01, but for M02 you say nothing happened, after the instructor told you to check your controls. 

Therefore simple question - did you do as instructed? 
It says: "Check that control surfaces move freely, by pushing stick and rudder to their maximum deflection." 
Therefore the trigger expects you to move your stick full forward, aft, left, right and the pedals full left and right. Actually it checks a deflection of 30+% to catch user curves.

When that is done, it will continue with "Check that the arresting hook is up."
Do you use curves or reduced saturation on any of the control axis? If so, could you tell me which, please?

Thanks, I will retry it tonight and let you knew how it went ... on the original video I missed the message that I had to start the engine already, I tought that I was still on the preparatory phase. I do use a keybind for the starter, which also opens the cover first, taking advantage of my HOTAS which allows me to bind a sequence of actions to a button, like this:

BTN H3U /I 
               /O /P /H Starter_cover_open Starter
                  /R Starter_cover_close 
 

which means: Hat3, Up button, alternate action none (/I), main action: On Press do: Starter_Cover_Open, followed by the Starter (which is held until button release). On Release do: Starter_Cover_Close

Hi Eduardo,

I just checked the triggers. It exoects an active RPM and the mixture control to be more than 40% forward. In your video your mixture control was correct, but your engine did not fire. One could hear a starter sound, but nothing happening. Imho it is the starter switch cover. Could you do me a favour and try and operate the starter switch cover and starter switch with the mouse, instead of the keybind? I think that is the underlying issue here.

Cheers

I look forward to working my way through this campaign.  I've been struggling to do much more than just casually flying it around, so this should help a lot.

After reinstalling the campaign, everything seems to work OK .

Thanks for reporting back. Could you still send me the track file please? I'd like to understand what happened there.

Here's the track with the problem. I think maybe the mistake I made was from copying & pasting instead of extracting the folder files.

Maybe a file got corrupted by coincidence. I will watch the track tomorrow and see if there is anything out of the ordinary visible  - thanks.

Don- the developer is aware of the radio navigation bug and it will hopefully be fixed in the next update.

Couldn't resist and I gave the 1st mission a try, but for some reason I get stuck on this step:

Thanks a lot for your feedback gentlemen. There was indeed a pair of triggers that weren't seperated cleanly enough and could lead to the mission stalling after setting the (parking) brake (basically swallowing the step with the starter switch).

I uploaded a hotfix and updated the uploaded campaign file already. I also attached the corrected mission here.

My apologies for the inconveniences.

Cheers

Here's the full path for installation.  For some reason folks leave out the first bits, dopes like me have a difficult time locating the elusive 'Saved Games' folder.
Put your user name in where I have the ****.  And C :  might be something else in your install, make sure you know at least that.
