Hey folks, This is an easy fix to make this work correctly. Navigate to, then open path.bat (the one where you set your installation paths) using Notepad++ or advanced text editor. Now, Line 8 looks like this: set "versionPackageICM=ScriptsMod.20.38.01" You need to delete: ScriptsMod. So, Line 8 should now look exactly like: set "versionPackageICM=20.38.01" The author mistakenly left those characters in, so the batch file was effectively looking for: ScriptMods.ScriptMods.20.38.01 which does not exist, hence the error. So, remember to correctly set your installation paths in this file while you are there, then run the FirstMission.bat to reinitialise the campaign. Let me know if it works for you. Cheers!

solidGad Posted November 25, 2020 Share Posted November 25, 2020 Hi all. I am playing the Desert Tiger campaign and noticed an issue where the F4's never take off. They just kinda get backed up on the entrance to the runway. I have to 'steer' around them to be able to take off. Then I had an escort mission but I think the planes I was supposed to escort where the ones stuck on the runway. Only tried 2 missions, but happened in both. Figured i'd let you know. Thanks again!

sublime Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Hi guys, How do the "interception" missions work? You start with a hot plane and have to wait until something happens? How long does that take, usually? Thanks! hot plane. in briefing has ab earing and range for enemy. take off and head to tthem BE WARY - if youre american go bold. If youre NOT american, I heavily advise going full burner to meet the foe. for example Miguel was very nice and modded the su27 camp to a JF17. Id head to the Americans, esp if i only saw F18 RWRs as theyre way more vulnerable. F14s Id run or avoid. however, that said, I would only go feet wet around 20 miles out. no more. you want the us to fight your sams, or at least have all sorts of radar pings, and hopefully friendly planes will scramble! also very important. DONT GET GREEDY use any long range missiles you have and GTFO JF17 this means going to 40k feet so your fox 3s have ooptimal range, firing them as fast as possible, and Going full burner in a dive homeward bound. I take ALL FLARES out of a2a intended Jf17s as the most dangerous US missiles are amraams and aim54s. if youre flying the F14 I advise going high, and bugging out when phoenixes are gone If youre in a lesser plane than that, then yes I advise flying noe etc But in the JF or F14, flying super low level for suprise attacks doesnt work very well. Idk why.. but it doesnt., the F14 is sorta clear, youre taking away alot of its advantages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orestd Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 Trying to get the Afghan Bear Trap - Ka-50 campaign working for several hours now and I'm stumped. The firstmission.bat file works fine, I can see the files it creates, but DCS refuses to see them in the game's library. I've tried to open the individual .miz files in mission editor and I've copied and moved all the files generated by the .bat file all over the campaign directory tree with no luck. I would like to know what map it uses, and if maybe I just don't own the proper asset? Everything seems to work fine, with the exception of DCS recognizing any of the generated files. Thanks in advance. REM Core or Main DCS ou DCS.beta path, always end the line with \ set "pathDCS=D:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta" REM DCS or DCS.beta saved game path, always end the line with \ set "pathSavedGames=Saved Games\DCS.openbeta" REM DCE ScriptMod version not any / or \ and no space before and after = set "versionPackageICM=20.38.01_S-AW" I have slashes \ at the end. The forum seems to be dropping them. camp.init updated the path to reflect dcs.openbeta in three places --path = "Saved Games/DCS.openbeta/Mods/tech/DCE/Missions/Campaigns/Afghan Bear Trap - Ka-50/", --path of campaign folder AfghanBearTrap.cmp updated various paths to replace users\david\ with my path. Thanks Hi CW4.. It uses the NTTR map. Your paths look correct. I'm not sure why its not showing up. Can you find the first mission in ME and fly the mission from ME? Hi CW. I am having the same problem. Have you been able to fix it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I tried the Hornet over Persian Gulf SuperCarrier (20.38.01) in Multiplayer with one other pilot. So I klicked the FirstMission.bat, "m" for multiplayer, said I want 4 clients in the Hornets (didn't want to have AI wingmen in the flight) and selected 0 players in other aircrafts. Mission was created and looked good. After the mission was launched and unpaused, it was only me (Host) sitting on the deck of the carrier and our escort flights of 6 F-14's were already circling around the carrier. My mate wasn't able to get in the cockpit. Tried "select role" several times: "You're flight is delayed, please wait!" (Also tried it with a longer time for takeoff preparation and with 2 clients, same result! Didn't try it with cold start option yet.) At the end I had to edit a Single Player mission and made my wingman client and unchecked the "delayed start" options for our flight. That way it worked well. 2. Another strange thing: I saw two Tomcats catch a wire on the LHA Tarawa! :blink: Didn't happen before. Perhaps a new bug after the last update? 3. Is it possible to prevent the carrier group from turning at all? This "turn in the wind option" is already set to false, but it keeps turning quiet often, messes up the ship formation completely and is really "challenging" if it starts turning after you just called the ball! :crazy: As always: Keep up this outstanding work, fly safe and stay healthy!:v: Hi, -1- We rewrote the multiplayer code, I hope it will improve this problem. In any case, if you have a pb with a mission, please post it here and with the context, and eventually the tacview -2- The planes which land on the TARAWA it is a DCS bp, the planes land on the carrier closest to the point envisaged in their flight plan, and ignores complement the assignment of the identifier in the mission file. For the moment, by placing the TARAWA forward, it simplifies this pb, but creates other pb ^^ ^ I have an idea for a script to fix it, but it will be long, very long ^^ -3- interesting, we have adapted the code in the wind to have it in menu F10, 10mn before landing, you can ask that the CVN turns in the wind, and it will stay there for 30mn (renewable). But your remark is interesting, because despite the order to prohibit turning in the wind, Mbot has equipped the naval aeronautical group with different WPT, I have to see if I can't warn the player that the CVN is approaching a WPT... Thanks for your encouragement, and sorry I'm not more often on the forum, but I code a bit and it takes time.
