How to download revised training mission on steam?

[Villian ICE]

Alright I have looked on the forums and typed it in the search box but cannot find it any were. Can anyone tell me how u add these user file downloads such as, updated training and other training missions that are not on the original game from the the main page. Im currently on the landing training mission and there is a weird glitch were the trainer stops talking and cannot continue the training. This revised patch for the training mission is supposed to fix this problem. Thanks for the help guys.

You download, extract the archive, and place the .miz files in the appropriate directory in your steamapps folder. The folder should be something like:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)Steam\Steamapps\common\DCS A-10C Warthog\Training\en

 

In there you have three folders for the different chapters of training.

Ok i did what u said but when i go in the game and click training nothing is there??? This is the path i routed it to

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dcs a-10c warthog\Training

Villian, you downloaded the pack from the User Files website? If so, unpack it to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dcs a-10c warthog\Training\en.

Ok, I just downloaded the "A-10C-Training-HOTAS-Fundamentals.zip" file and extracted it, it is loaded with 29 .ogg files? I was expecting a .miz I guess,,, so where do I put these files? Thanks

Note that it is: A-10C-Training-HOTAS-Fundamentals.miz

Not: A-10C-Training-HOTAS-Fundamentals.zip

 

Don't unzip it. There's nothing to unzip. Download, place in mission folder, play. ;)

ok,,, but as soon as I click on "Download" it clearly shows the file name, and the extention is .zip, not .miz? Am I supposed to download it then change the file extention to .miz manually? doesnt seem right

[EtherealN]

That is extremely weird. I downloaded it (with Chrome) just now to test and it comes down as a .miz.

 

If you open the file (not extracting it, just look inside the archive), you should see the ogg files (they're the sound files of the narration), but also two files named "mission" and "options", both without ending, size 350980 bytes and 2421 bytes respectively. If you see this, just rename it to .miz and try that.

 

I tried it again in Windows Internet Exploder, and it appears to rename it to zip. So what you are experiencing is Exploder being retarded.

[Fakum]

AHHHHH! ok,,, so it must be an Internet Explorer issue (gee that never happens lol). Thanks for the help, I will rename the file,,,,

[EtherealN]

Yeah, to be clear, the .miz (and the .trk actually) are technically zip archives. The sim uses standard zipping for those files, but has the special suffix to indicate to the simulator that it's a file formatted so it can use it. I suspect Internet Exploder is trying to be smart, detects that it's zipped, and tries to "help" you through renaming them...

DL's as a .miz with Firefox. Just to let any one know.

[Fakum]

Yeah,,, all set now,,, thanks
