Hi!

 

This is a list of all typos/errors I found in the training missions that come with v1.1.0.8. I'd like to see them fixed in an upcoming patch.

 

This makes my older post about v1.1.0.7 obsolete.

 

UPDATE: ED has released an updated training mission pack for v1.1.0.8. I'll verify the missions again and update this list.

Thanks for the tests, derelor. However, flying in the release version of 1.1.0.8, I'm not able to confirm your results regarding labels in Start-Up and the playability of Guns and Rockets. Both work as intended on my end.

 

Would be great if we had a few more players report their findings.

I tried it several times and even reinstalled the training missions. I have labels turned off in the options menu, but they are shown in the startup training mission (only).

Guns and Rockets TM works fine, though. You are correct. My mistake was firing rockets first without deselecting the two weapon stations before. Deselecting the stations later will not be recognized then.

Could you try running the linked Start-up lesson? I made no changes except saving the mission again in hopes that it locks the options settings, which are loaded in the mission itself.

Thanks! With this version the labels are now off again :-) I switched a few times between the two versions of the startup mission to verify the issue.

 

Thanks for the great support! That's the reason why I bought A-10C twice.

Works for me too. thanks S!.

 

A10-C twice? lol... I got LOMAC, FC, Black Shark, A10-C and now FC2 (because A10-C is so good).

 

I'm a ww2 warbird pilot at heart but have been having too much fun in the A10-C. I expect to make a switch to jets as my main obsession.

 

Thanks for the support guys.

List updated to reflect all fixes in the updated training mission pack. Only few red entries remaining :-) Good work!

Are these updates we need to install? According to what I see that folders and files we just must to copy to appropriate install directory in the DCS A-10C.

Yes

 

 

We've prepared updated versions of the training missions for the patched version 1.1.0.8. Besides fixing the broken missions, some minor improvements and adjustments were made to all training missions.

 

You can download the complete new archive here:

 

http://files.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/59550/

 

Simply unpack the archive into your .../Training/en folder. You may want to back-up the original just in case.

 

Hope these work well for you. Feedback welcome.

 

Thanks,
