PeaceSells Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 You mention other 'perfect game' and yet you end up flying lower fidelity module of DCS :) You have to consider that there isn't a lot of options around when it comes to high fidelity sims of modern high performance aircraft... On another note, it's good to know the campaign is being worked on, the other day I tried the Bear Trap and was also stuck due to F-16's failing their missions...

draconus Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 (edited) You have to consider that there isn't a lot of options around when it comes to high fidelity sims of modern high performance aircraft... ...let alone F-15C. But we never gonna get full fidelity one because someone picked it for LOMAC 15 years ago, then it got 'FC3' label and there we go - exactly my point. I fly campaign missions almost exclusively so it's important for me to have them working. Mission #02 - last night tried again a few times. I think nothing is wrong with the mission itself but it's challanging for me. I got mission complete once but was already falling on a chute. Tried it Rambo style - straight to the WP12 timing it for 12:12, angels 35, all BVR, full AB, 3 reds go down... and then I got hit :) On a second try I succeeded - looks like high altitude BVR run is THE way to go. With the trails all around there's much clearer SA. Is this realistic? Probably not - A-50 should be aware and fly away with more reds scrambled. Mission #03 & #04 completed without much hassle.

premo256 Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I have downloaded files from MadDog-IC, but I can not finish mission 1. Even if I fly through all 9 waypints I don´t get "mission success" message. Mission score only 50 and I can not advance to mission 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katmandu Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 I have downloaded files from MadDog-IC, but I can not finish mission 1. Even if I fly through all 9 waypints I don´t get "mission success" message. Mission score only 50 and I can not advance to mission 2. No problem here , 100% on mission 1 runnign latest 2.5.1. Maybe try running the default version of the Campaign? Some of MadDog fixes were natively integrated and the campaign may be working without external mods. Do you hear Wags voicover as you go through the waypoints? Are you flying at 25K as instructed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
premo256 Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 I have downloaded back the original game files and no problem to finish the first mission. But in the original version I can´t finish the second mission, because the F-16s are always shot down by Tunguska. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceSells Posted April 30, 2018 Share Posted April 30, 2018 Coincidentally, I downloaded the MadDog version after completing the 1st mission on the original campaign, because I was stuck on the 2nd mission original. So you might want to do this too...

Akula Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 OK, So, just so we're all on the same page here; Version 2.5.1..... Better to use Maddog's mods, YES or NO?

Katmandu Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Yep, can confirm that mission 2 is bugged, f-16s do die from Tunguskas. I had MadDog mod installed but not sure if it was seen by the game as some mods in saved games folder work and others do not. To finish on a constructive note, I'd recommend another F-15 campaign that is definitely working in 2.5 - Eye for an Eye https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=140628 It has voiceovers, good setups and gradual difficulty curve. Oh, and its fun! :)# With the Bear Trap, I guess the solution is either to wait for a mission2 fix, or edit flight book and skip mission 2. From mission 4 (? the one where you defend against bombers) onwards Bear Trap does work all the way to the end - I've completed it myself last week, having skipped earlier missions.

joelhume Posted May 1, 2018 Share Posted May 1, 2018 Likewise with the MadDog files im not able to complete mission 1 now, i fly through all the waypoints, get the voicefiles and land following procedures but then only get 50 score and cant progress. Ill try swapping mission one for the default file tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeaceSells Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I've comleted mission 1 in original campaign, installed MadDog's campaign and completed mission 2 and maybe 3 (can't remember). Maybe you guys could try that...

Eviscerador Posted May 2, 2018 Share Posted May 2, 2018 I can confirm that the original files in the 1.5.8 version are still bugged. F16C die to SA 19 all the time. I guess I can use the modiffied files for 1.5.8 then? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
draconus Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 I guess I can use the modiffied files for 1.5.8 then? You may want to try this version https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/2357389/ in 1.5. As for 2.5 I confirm MadDog-IC's latest mission #1 (00 - FAM flight) cannot be completed but others are fine. So, guys, use original ED's file for FAM flight and replace the rest with the uploaded ones.

MadDog-IC Posted May 4, 2018 Share Posted May 4, 2018 As for 2.5 I confirm MadDog-IC's latest mission #1 (00 - FAM flight) cannot be completed but others are fine. Just to confirm, this is the version I made for DCS 2.5 and only listed in this forum and not the DCS 1.5 version in current game or off the User download site ??? Have checked and corrected the "FC3-F15C-00.miz (Fam flight)" and reuploaded to the dropbox link, slight programming error on my part when I added the requirement to land at end of flight, a trigger zone that I added for the landing check at Vaziani AFB was inadvertantly place over Tbilisi airfield instead. Just re-download the patch from this forum, I will organise the same patch to ED for release some time in the future. Cheers.

draconus Posted May 6, 2018 Share Posted May 6, 2018 Have checked and corrected the "FC3-F15C-00.miz (Fam flight)" Working fine now. Just one minor thing: in the briefing "STEERPOINTS: ... 8. landing" I believe it should be waypoint 9 for approach.
