Why is everything in DCS world broken?

[redpiano]

Missions are bugged and now I'm loading up missions and my helicopter has a blank orange skin with white lines on it? What the hell is going on and what's the point of using DCS world if it's just going to break everything about this game?

What you expect me to do all that?

Is there something wrong with just downloading and playing each stand alone game because this DCS world B.S doesn't seem to be worth it's trouble so far.

[ilikepie]

no, there isn't. if you only play single player then you can run a stand alone. if you wish to play online you will need to use world as that is what will be used predominately.

 

there maybe people still offering up stand alone servers so try your luck and see what you come up with.

Which missions are you trying to play and how are they bugged?

 

Is the texture missing on all helicopter liveries or just certain ones?

 

The more information you post the more helpful we can be.

The instant action mission "cold start at Moz(dok?)" the fuel truck that usually drives by and parks next to you instead drives and usually gets stuck right in the middle between you and the other chopper taking off.

 

I got a tutorial mission from a sticky on SimHQ, I've played it several times in the stand alone version fine, when I load it up in DCS world the skin on the plane is orange. I don't know what specific livery it is, I don't even know how to select different skins yet.

 

Also the lack of voice in training mode for the A10c

 

Also I can't figure out how to get the interactive training scenarios for Ka-50 that I also got off SimHQ to work in DCS world, I'm sure if I did get them to work they wouldn't work properly anyways.

The truck stopped for me, however it did start moving when the Mi-8 started to taxi, it could need a pathfinding tweak, but its not game breaking.

 

The tutorial mission from SimHQ is from 2008. Much has changed with the sim since then. Open the mission in the mission editor and re-save it. Attached is a fixed version.

 

Lack of triggered audio is a known issue and should hopefully be fixed soon.

 

Are these the interactive training missions you are referring to?

I do not know if the mod to integrate the missions directly into the menu is functional, however the individual missions should still work fine sans audio. So just download em as individual missions.

Alright, I'll give it a try. Thank you for the help and my apologies if I'm being a bit offensive, the game is complicated enough without bugs and such hehe :D

[Essah]

as for the blank orange skin it is caused by the filename for the skin to be changed. To fix it, open the mission and select a skin, then save.

the blank orange skin is what comes on when the game can't find the skin file specified in the mission.

 

Happened to me too when I tried to play A mission I made during 1.1.1.1 in DCS world

World is missing the "Demo #24" skin that I chose for the shark during my weapon employment mission. I am re-uploading it with a different skin as we speak (awaiting approval). There is also a fix out for the sounds problem http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=91666.

 

 

Also I can't figure out how to get the interactive training scenarios for Ka-50 that I also got off SimHQ to work in DCS world, I'm sure if I did get them to work they wouldn't work properly anyways.

 

... Thanks... :cry: (i am the author of those missions)

 

After the mod pack is done uploading(awaiting approval) download it and install it via the readme contained with in it.
