Vergeev Group Campaign UPDATED!!

Best way is to try it and find out. :)

For single player content it's usually pretty safe.

well i wasn't sure i'd get a response so i did just that. however i'm running into odd behavior. like if i try to make a small change to the mission and save, all sorts of stuff goes funky. also i failed the second mission even tho i followed it to a T, i thnk some of the triggers are messed up.

which goes back to why i asked if there was an updated version somewhere that i just dont know about hiding around somewhere

I'm betting most of the triggers are euchred.

There were about 4 missions that were mucked up a couple years ago that someone (can't remember who) fixed. But there have been so many changes and updates, I doubt it will ever work again. I was never able to get past the first few missions before it all went to pot on me. I haven't bothered with it since.

That said, I believe initially it was a top-notch campaign (i.e. really well created). It's too bad we can't get an up-to-date/working version.

One of the reasons I keep my Black Shark 1 install. I bought the original Vergeeven and have the last updated one, too - I can't see that working, considering how much even recent 3rd party campaigns have been messed up by recent patches.

Having said that, though, some friends and I are currently flying Dragon's old Ka-50 missions and so far there have been no problems at all.

Before making any changes to the .miz, use file -》 save as and resave with a different name. Some weird stuff happens when editing missions from old versions sometimes and this often helps.

Many of the triggers initially broken in the 1.5 update are now working normally again...a lot of folks wrote everything old off as broken because of issues encountered early in 1.5 but I do think it's worth a shot. :)

Can't speak to this op personally but I have a lot of old A10 stuff that's working perfectly again.

It's been awhile, with a lot of code changes to DCS -- going to play through the campaign and make sure everything still works -- if not, I'll fix it and re-upload.

Oh PLEASE. That would be fantastic.

This was an Excellent Campaign, even with a few bugs.

But because of all the updates (and now 1.5 whereas IIRC, Vergeev Group Campaign was made in DCS 1.2), I don't think I've even tried this campaign again since 1.2.

I'd be willing to donate $10 towards a completed "working" version of this Campaign.

Excellent.

Thanks for doing this BBQ I bought this campaign when it was first released and it was fantastic. Would be great to fly it again in 1.5.

Cheers

Mission 17 is holding me up. Lots of triggers to be fixed!

BBQ,

I love what you're doing. Never tried the campaign with BS1 so I'm so glad you've resurrected it for DCSW.

I'm curious: how many of the missions would be suitable for multiplayer and how tough would a conversion be (i.e. the intricacy of triggers)? I'm not asking you to do it (you have enough on your plate as is), but my group has a few decent mission builders who might be willing to give it a crack.

Unfortunately HF, this campaign is really not conducive to a multi-player port. There are essentially no enemy aircraft engagements, and the entire story line and voice-overs are created such that you, the player, have voice overs that communicate with HQ basically -- and there's only one mission where you fly in a two-ship -- and that other aircraft has to be AI, as it's part of completing the requirements for that mission.

Believe me, if I could, I would make this multi-player, if only to get more people to play it - but it's just not a good candidate for a number of reasons -- first and foremost being the threats/targets, mission goals, etc. -- are very limited such that another human player wouldn't have anything to do, literally.

If you try the campaign, you'll see what I mean. Or watch the video walkthrough of the missions on my YouTube channel:

Thanks a lot for updating this Campaign, it will be a really good oportunity to fly the Ka-50 again.

:)

Big thanks. Can't wait to try it.

Thanks for the quick reply and explanation. SP it is!

Through 19. One more to go. If the God's are looking favourably upon me, it won't require any changes.

Updated to work with 1.5.7

Ready for download! I've updated the original post -- just use the link and you'll be taken to my gDrive public folder where you can download. Let me know if anyone has any trouble downloading.

Enjoy!

Downloaded, thanks! :thumbup:

Maybe you should change the disclaimer in README.txt, though. Basically right now it says: you bad. :D

(I don't feel bad anyway cause I purchased a license back in the day ;))

In any case, your work is most appreciated, thanks so much for keeping this awesome campaign alive! I think in my first play-through I made it about halfway through, so time permitting I might actually be able to go through it all the way now. :)

I heard many times this campaign is very good but never had the chance to try it. Now I will.

Thanks for fixing it.

It's just there because at the time, for whatever reason, the producer asked me to just provide a download location for my edited version.

Thanks again for your efforts, I've downloaded it and will play it as soon as I finish learning the MiG-21 .. I usually fly a single plane for several weeks, before changing to another, as I find that in this way I learn better.

I haven't flown the Shark since the Viggen's release, so this Campaign provides the perfect goal to have a refresh course on the Ka-50.

I love to fly the Campaigns generated by the Users, tough I haven't yet played all of them to completion ... they are really important to me since I mostly play DCS in single player; this are the ones that I have gathered and hope to fly to completion someday :)

Best regards.
