DCE Campaigns

[Niehorst]

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!

 

When I tried the TF71 80's, the Russians made some heavy attacks during the first missions. Large formations of Bear's and Backfires came in and it was kind of an air battle to defeat them.

We are in the same boat. I found two Viggen DCE campaigns: "Viggen over PG" and "Nordic Battle". I don't like the first one so much as it feels like it is the same as the "Hornet over PG" just with a different plane but the "Nordic Battle" seems to be pretty good, with Viggen-style targets (railway stations and such). But it is far from being up-to-date...

 

But I hope you get some additional tips as I will try out those too :)

 

Viggen over PG was only a training campaign for me (I bought Viggen just before) ;-)

I really want to rework over Caucasus campaigns and why not add Viggen :-)

Nordic battle is really a good campaign but I think it needs to be updated...

Ok, thanks. Do you get a message in the top right corner about the incoming planes or how do you know that you need to intercept?

 

UPDATE: my bad, just read PB0_CEFs answer above. You need to take off as soon as possible.

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?

[Eagle_01]

Hi guys, good morning,

 

Well... Without asking too much, any news for a Viper DCE on Syria map, please? Please? Please? Please?

LOL

 

Really, I love the DCE campaigns and I am looking forward for the Syria scenario with it.

 

Keep it up!

 

All the best,

 

Sydy

 

Hi Sydy.. Sorry for the wait man. Still working on the camapaign. Real life doesn't give me much time to finish it. But its getting there.

Yes it will have the F16, F18, F14 (I don't want to disappoint CEF), F15, JF17, Mirage, SU27, Kuznetsov based SU33, Mig21, L39, Mi8, Ka50, Uh-1H, Harrier, A10, Viggen, F5, Gazelle, Mig29, SU25T and provisions for the Hind and F15E.

Hi Eagle,

No worries, RL takes a tool on us. Keep it up!

I'm guessing it's because I don't own the map. I assumed it was based on persian gulf or caucasus maps. Thanks. I'll try it after the next sale.

excellent! any chance to get the Mig19 added to the mix? :)

Hi Guys,

I just tried the Falcon Over PG campaign and I get this error when I exit the first mission. The mission has been completed. Any help appreciated, cheers.

 

Edit! I fixed this just in case anyone else has a similar problem. Check in the Init Folder. When I checked the Path file I missed that it had "set "pathSavedGames=Saved Games\DCS.beta"

corrected it to "set "pathSavedGames=Saved Games\DCS" All works fine again now.

[solidGad]

Really enjoying the Afghan Bear Trap campaign with the Mig19. Quick question...is there 'unlimited' aircraft? My fellow AI Farmer pilots are losing about 4-6 aircraft per mission and they keep getting replaced, which is good. Just curious if that supply of old Mig's every dries up? Thanks!

^^^ this guys error. I get the same thing ^^^^

init file where?? i checked my saved games folder.. they dont goto Dcs beta...

[Bossco82]

Hi Sublime,

Go to the campaign folder that is inside the DCS or DCS.beta saved games folder. Depends what version your using. Inside the folder is another folder named "Init" Inside that folder is the Path file. Right click that and click "Edit" check the file pathways match your install. The other file is "Confmod" there is sometimes a filepath in that too.

nope.. They are definitely limited... And when you don't have enough for a flight of 4, you will lose the campaign.

Thanks Eagle!

 

On another note, all of a sudden, when I quit a DCE mission, all I get is a DCS splash screen. I don't get the normal post action screen where I can accept the mission results and continue with the campaign. DCE scripts outside of DCS work as when i alt-tab it's asking me if i want to accept the results of the mission, but DCS itself is 'locked' on the DCS screen so i am unable to ever advance the campaign in DCS itself.

 

When I checked the log file i see this is at the end. not sure if that could be the cause of the issue?

 

 

Thanks for any help!

 

edit: i saw the issue mentioned in the install pdf. i'll try that solution and see if it helps!

1.

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:

thx. i know how to edit the files... i checked and the paths were all good. i will check confmod though stand by ty for responding

[sublime]

nope

no file path

im prolly gonna need miguel or p80s help theyre the ONLY PEOPLE who ever got this working for me. it took them 5 min. I have no idea how to fix myself. I wanted to do the ww2 campaaign and the maker tried helping but stoped responding after 1 post

the first time p80 i gave remote access. had it working in 2 min. miguel helped a lot too. but idk if they got tired of me or just havent seen my posts.

but I usually flew tomcat over PG (iran) and REALLY wanted to be able to finally fly the A in that. Then the F14 PG and Cauc. camps. I also had the flanker caucauses with JF17s substituted in. I didnt do it, miguel did for me. It worked awesome

and look Id be happy with just ONE working now, because NONE do.

One simple example for an upcoming campaign :

["A-10C_2"] = {

["Anti-ship Strike"] = {

["CAS-2-mixte"] = {

minscore = 0.3,

support = {

["Escort"] = true,

["SEAD"] = true,

},

<SNIP>

["

 

So I finally got around to trying this, I've edited oob_air_init.lua and changed instances of A10C to A10C_2 and also removed the A10 entry fronm the db_loadouts.lua file and added in the file as you supplied above, but when I run firstmission.bat it churns away and then comes back with "Mission Generation Error. No eligible player flight in 20 attempts". I'm guessing I've missed something obvious. I've attached both the modified files if that is of any use. If it's of any relevance I was attempting to modify the Desert Warthog 06 DCE campaign.

 

Regards,

 

Ross.

I'm trying to use a DCE campaign for the fist time, but stuck during installation. WHen I load up the campaign (TF-71 Tomcat), I get the following error:

 

 

However, I thought I did the correct changes to the MissionScripting.lua file:

 

What am I doing wrong?
