DCE Campaigns

Tried it... no go... mission starts from Vinson (sorry, not the Stennis).

 

I have attached a rtf doc (simply rename it by removing the .zip part) with 2 screenshots.

 

First one is the result of firstmission.bat, which shows the Stennis as the assigned catapult slot.

 

Second screenshot is from the Mission Planner, where you can see that the player aircraft is placed on Stennis and not on Tarawa...

 

Am I the only one with this issue ?

My fault :doh:

It's a LHA coordinates problem in db_airbases.lua file in Init Folder

Replace LHA section by this :

['LHA_Tarawa'] = {

x = -306455.09017936,

y = 588136.93560714,

elevation = 0,

airdromeId = 832, --be careful this Id depends on units placements and is helipadID in fact

ATC_frequency = "127.500",

or just change X and Y coordinates for those above :(

Sorry about that ...

Now it works and my Harrier is correctly spawning on Tarawa. Thanks !

Anyway it seems there's still some issue going on as most of the FA18 NPCs are crashing on spawn (see attached rtf as before).

Well it's only static planes on CVN decks : they don't spawn well but it's not a problem : it doesn't count as losses and you don't even see them at game start :thumbup:

Double click the firstmission file. It will open a prompt that will ask for a few inputs of what kind of mission. once generation is complete hit restart campaign inside of dcs campaigns and test.

Man I appreciate all the help, but I give up. Have searched all files on entire computer - no firstmission.bat file exists for me. Imported stuff via OvGME, still says missing required mod. Not going to trouble any more people to hold my hand thru trying to set this up. Will just miss out on these user made campaigns and pay for official ones when they are finally released (if ever).

Thanks again for trying to help a hopeless computer guy - I should clearly stick to flying.

Cheers,

Have searched all files on entire computer - no firstmission.bat file exists for me.

It is in the DCS campaign folder. For example:

Mods\aircraft\FA-18C\Missions\EN\Campaigns\Hornet over PG

Would it be possible to edit this lovely script into the campaign?

https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=223672

I know nothing about the underlying code here, so I tried implementing it using the 'base mission' and restarting the camp, hoping it would carry on to the generated mission, but I could not get it to work.

How can this be done?

A proper LSO would elevate these great campaings even more:)

Not sure but the only way It can be done is to edit the mission you will play (first or ongoing)

The main problem will be to rename CVN : the mission name is used by DCE scripts

I'd like to give a shout out to @D3adCy11nd3r .

Went above and beyond to try and help me with the lingering issue with the "USN- Deckcrew" module needed pop up message. He literally spent over an hour on Discord with me going thru settings, programs, and theories/ideas. Even though it seems a solution is not there (aside from possibly deleting DCS and reinstalling, I can't put into words how much it was, and is appreciated.

Figured others should know that this guy is a great part of the "good side" of the DCS community.

Please be patient. We will soon release a new DCE version where it will be possible to disable US Deckcrew mode really easily.

First campaign will be Hornet over PG :)

No worries sir, happy to wait. Was simply highlighting to others of a helpful individual within the community, who supports your great work and trying to get others to be able to enjoy it as well. I appreciate you as well, for creating something that so many people talk about enjoying. Look forward to being able to experience it as well.

Cheers,

Hello,

I've just tried the Hornet over PG campaign but I am having issues with my wingman. He always says rolling and suddenly stops in the middle of the deck. Am I doing something wrong ? I read in the readme that I need to move to the back of the deck to allow him to taxi but that doesn't work.

I tried multiple different things but he always stops after 2-3 secs of saying rolling.

Ensure you have updated to 11.0.7. Then request taxi [ignore the hold command.] Swing to the right [so into your wing man] and taxi to cat 1, that almost always works for me [unless there is an aircraft coming in to land.

How long till we can expect Viper campaign?

Should be reasonable simple to change the player aircraft.

like this?:

I'm getting this error after the first mission with the Hornet. Any idea why?

How long till we can expect Viper campaign?

Probably when he releases the 11.0.8 versions.

Besides IDK how much good it will do with the state of the viper atm.

Id say we can easily wait. Viper's great but it definitely an early build.

I allways take controll of my wingman and take off myself. It seems to be a probel for the wingman only given the fact that the rest of a 4 flight takes off just fine by themselves

First campaign with the new 11.01.0 DCE Version :)

Hornet over Persian Gulf : Tomcat will follow soon and files to easily make a Falcon campaign are included with instructions in Hornet Campaign Init folder.

Important to know : I don't own Falcon module yet so I don't know the exact install Folder name. Please adapt files provided to the good name (I used editor name F-16C_50)

We need to know if this version is bug free enough to use it to update other exixting campaigns : If you notice bugs please save the 3 files generated in Hornet over PG folder just before you ask for another mission and send them with this last mission to us !

News :

- Many options are now available in Conf_Mod.lua file in Init folder so that you don't need to restart campaigns after changes in this file (see changelog below)

- By default you will need US Navy Deck Equipment Mod that you will find here : https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3301580/?sphrase_id=14748274, but you can disable it in the "conf_mod.lua" file in Init folder.

- IA hotstart on CVN : timing will be important to study in briefing to avoid collisions.

- Harpoon is now available so antiship missions are back (there may be bugs with wingmen fired Harpoons)

- Damaged enemy targets can be repaired now ! You need to nearly destroy it to avoid that (< 25 % left )

- Please read How to play DCE (v11.01.0) guide here : https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=3984603&postcount=695

New Tomcat over Persian Gulf - V11.01.0 :)

Can you update to 11.1 without reinstalling and restarting the campaign?

Sorry I'm afraid it would be too difficult and repair system would not work I think.

You can try to copy/past Scripts files and adjust files in Status folder but I'm not sure it will work :(

There are too many changes in this new DCE version ... we tryed to maintain compatibility but it was impossible sorry

Sounds like it’s worth it. Thanks for the quick response.

I tried run hornet campaign, but i stucked at screen (just before campaigns list with all modules) with "loading..." message on screen. When I delete PG campaign, everything runs normaly. What could be the problem?

It seems that my folder "Falcon campaign" in Init folder causes that : delete it and it should work !

Sorry for that :(
