Elwood_Blues Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 (edited) Has anyone else flown this campaign recently? Mission 2 has an objective to deliver cargo to an outpost, but the outpost is all in the trees. Previously, before an update, the mission was doable because the outpost was in the clearing, now that it is in the trees you cannot land or pick up a sling load. Is the mission doable? Is there a way I can edit the buildings and fix this mission? I have asked the devs and for almost a year and a half....nothing. Yes I submitted a ticket with pics.. So...can I edit the mission to fix this or do I trash this campaign? Thanx in advance.. Elwood Edited December 15, 2019 by Elwood_Blues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tintifaxl Posted December 15, 2019 Share Posted December 15, 2019 In the mission editor there is an option to clear a circular region from trees. I did that for a few missions of the Huey'S U.N. campaign. But those mission files were not encrypted, so I don't know if that works for the payware missions too.

Elwood_Blues Posted December 15, 2019 Author Share Posted December 15, 2019 Does not work...no option to save Well..the mission must be encoded or protected since I cannot save or save the file as. If there is a DCS Mod reading this...can you get with the creator and ask him to unlock or fix the dang thing? This is my third attempt at trying to fix this in the past 2 years.....

Ramsay Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Has anyone else flown this campaign recently? Yes, successfully. Mission 2 has an objective to deliver cargo to an outpost, but the outpost is all in the trees. Your pictures are of the oil rig in the middle (given away by the stream to the south east), you are NOT supposed to land there. Previously, before an update, the mission was doable because the outpost was in the clearing, now that it is in the trees you cannot land or pick up a sling load. AFAIK Mission 2 hasn't been updated since 6th June 2019 and the last change to the campaign's encryption was in October Is the mission doable? Yes, navigate to R- 325 rig and then to R-67 rig. Is there a way I can edit the buildings and fix this mission? The mission doesn't need fixing, you need to reset the doppler navigation at the subbase and check your course and heading before looking for R-325. Do you know how to use the Mi-8's Doppler system i.e. • What is the distance when you find the rig in the trees (the rig in the trees is 22 km from the subbase, while the first destination, R-325, is 33 km) ? • What course deviation does it show (the mission has a crosswind that will blow you off course, unless you compensate.) ? Perhaps Smudge's Video might help : Editing and Running a Copy of Mission 2 You can edit some of mission 2 by putting a copy of "02_Oilfield.miz" in "Saved Games\DCS\Missions" and opening it / editing it in the Mission Editor. As the mission file is "protected", you can't save a copy but you can run the edited version from the Mission Editor i.e. change the F10 map options to see all the rigs, etc. I have asked the devs and for almost a year and a half....nothing. Yes I submitted a ticket with pics.. BST do not make the Oilfield campaign, Layvinas does. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=239467 So...can I edit the mission to fix this or do I trash this campaign? Moving the unnamed rig to nearby open fields won't move the landing zones/triggers for unloading passengers, etc., you'll still need to navigate to the correct rig and not the first one you fly near.

Nooch Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Weird... I have completed the campaign a few months ago and haven't encountered any blocking issue. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWJ Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Flown it yesterday and no issues as well, rigs are where they should be according to the waypoints on the kneeboard map. But I completely missed the rig in the middle :D Danger zone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
