Hoggorm Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Hi, I'm currently on the 17th mission in the Georgian Hammer for CA campaign and I'm giving it up. It is no fun at all... 1 - Up until now about every other mission I've flown has crashed to desktop. 2 - Only one of all the "support the advance of aaa and bbb to ccc and ddd" missions has worked so far. Pressing the F10 key on the radio menu sometimes shows the aaa and bbb units, but usually they do not appear. If they do appear pressing their corresponding F-key, does not advance the units. 3 - JTAC takes forever to respond. Sometimes it works, but usually not. The JTAC can read the 9-Line, but then after I'm asking for remarks for example it will take several requests before they respond. In the meantime I'm just flying there looking silly and vasting time and fuel. If the JTAC reads me the 9-line I could of course make a mission waypoint and shoot the targets myself, but thats not the point. Anyway that can only be done if the 9-line is actually read to me. JTAC does not work... I'm not interested in flying this campaign any longer. So what do I do now? Are there other campaigns available for download that I can try? Are there missions I should try? What do you do when you've finished the campaign? Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exorcet Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Personally, all I do in DCS/FC when I'm not online is make missions to fly, and if it wasn't for my computer crashing at the worst time, I would might have shared my massive F-15 campaign for FC2. I've never flown a campaign made by ED, and the only missions I've tried were back when I first got original LOMAC and didn't understand the mission editor. The ME is basically infinite replayability. You can even take the GH missions and fix whatever you don't like about them to make the campaign suit you better.

Hamblue Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 It's actually easier on-line except that there are a few more sams.

Hoggorm Posted November 6, 2012 Author Share Posted November 6, 2012 What missions do I enter online? Can I just enter a mission that is already running? Or can I only join at the start? Do I have to join a virtual squadron or can I fly "on my own"? Do I have to install something extra like TARS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaiza Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 What ever missions you like. I reccomend joining one with 3-10 players. Yep, if the server is open people come and go during missions No, most people fly on their own Only if people are running TARS, but on open servers people dont tend to run TARS very often, it is normally used on closed servers.

Hogwash Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 1 - Up until now about every other mission I've flown has crashed to desktop. Me too. See: Crash but probably not much info... I had high hopes for this game. :cry: Why do people think MP is crash-free? If this is the case, the issue must be known in SP? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Jaw Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 Why do people think MP is crash-free? I'll bite: I have logged over 300 hours online, not one CTD I recall.

Grimes Posted November 6, 2012 Share Posted November 6, 2012 ^^^ Ditto, been formation flying online in this DCS/FC since 2006, with no CTD's that I can remember in MP. To be fair that type of mission isn't exactly a representation of the typical DCS combat mission. The right man in the wrong place makes all the difference in the world.

You sign on to the hosts TS channel, and they give you the password. It's just good sense, and you will learn a ton- quickly..

NullSpace Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'll just add my SP has crashed once and only once. I've flown missions in excess of 2 hours. Likewise, my SP rarely crashes. The campaign does have some issues, JTAC seems to be fairly messed up, but still... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
