Training tracks disappeared and mission install question

[doveman]

I've noticed that there's nothing showing under Training for either the KA-50 or SU-25T anymore and the KA-50 folder just has a empty.txt file in it. Have these been removed for some good reason?

 

Also, I thought I might be able to install the Interactive Training Missions by PeterP in Saved Games rather than the DCSW install folder, to avoid them being deleted by the auto-updater. I first tried putting them in Saved Games\DCS\Missions\EN\Training then just Missions\Training, then Saved Games\Mods\aircrafts\ka-50\Missions\EN\Training. When none of those worked, I tried it in the "normal" F:\Games\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Ka-50\Missions\EN\Training where they do work but it would be good if we could install stuff like this in the Saved Games folder.

 

I get a bit confused about where to install missions and campaign as well, as there's Saved Games\DCS\Missions\EN and F:\Games\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Ka-50\Missions\EN, each with a Campaigns sub-folder but only the latter has the sub-folders Single, Multiplayer, Quickstart, so should I be putting SP, MP and Campaign missions in those folders (where I guess they'll get removed by the auto-updater) or creating folders for them in Saved Games? It would seem if we put everything in Saved Games\DCS\Missions it could be a bit of a problem though as we'd have missions for different mods in there or will DCSW filter them out?

First off, those interactive missions were created by me and have to go into the folder that is specified in the read me in order for the menu integration to work. As for any of the other single/ mulitplayer, you can just navigate to it on your HDD and it will load up fine. Campaigns must go into the appropriate campaign folder for them to be found by the game as a campaign.

Oops, sorry about misattributing your work :poster_oops:

 

As for the campaigns, as there's one in Saved Games and one in the install folder, does it matter where I put them?

No worries man. Its easy to get confused. :P I'm not sure. I think either will work fine, but you can try it out in saved games first. If the game wont find it there, then it will have to go into the install directory.
