Hog_driver Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) A few years ago, I started the Basic Flight Training Qualification to learn flying the A-10C. Some missions were a royal pain, as vehicles kept running into me when I was taxiing to the runway or triggers didn't work, but I finally got to mission 3. Then I had to stop playing and did not play DCS for a long time. When I got back and wanted to continue the campaign, I realised that the campaign is no longer active and have to start from scratch. I wasn't very enthusiastic about it, since it took me literally two or three hours to complete the Ground Handling mission, so I decided to try another approach, namely to edit the logbook.lua file. It's kind of "soft cheating" but I know which missions I already completed and nowadays I don't have that much time to fly them again. So I used the editor created by Diego Molas, https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/486408/ to edit the logbook file. In the case of this mission, the syntax looks more or less like this: ["created"] = "Fri Mar 12 20:55:42 2021", ["player"] = "JDoe", ["campaign"] = "./Mods/campaigns/A-10C - Basic Flight Training Qualification/A-10C - Basic Flight Training Qualification.cmp", ["status"] = "Active", ["history"] = { [1] = { ["datetime"] = "Fri Mar 12 20:56:32 2021", ["agKills"] = 0, ["aaKills"] = 0, ["result"] = 100, ["deathsCount"] = 0, ["stage"] = 1, ["mission"] = "A-10C - BFT Arrival.miz", }, -- end of [1] To get access to other missions, copy, paste and edit so it looks like this: [4] = { ["datetime"] = "Fri Mar 12 21:07:32 2021", ["agKills"] = 0, ["aaKills"] = 0, ["result"] = 100, ["deathsCount"] = 0, ["stage"] = 4, ["mission"] = "A-10C - BFT03 Fly Traffic Pattern.miz", }, -- end of [4] [3] = { ["datetime"] = "Fri Mar 12 21:03:32 2021", ["agKills"] = 0, ["aaKills"] = 0, ["result"] = 100, ["deathsCount"] = 0, ["stage"] = 3, ["mission"] = "A-10C - BFT02 Takeoff and EFATO.miz", }, -- end of [3] }, -- end of ["history"] Mission names can be found in the following folder (if you use Open Beta): [drive letter]:\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\campaigns\A-10C - Basic Flight Training Qualification I know it's not rocket science and you can figure it out yourself, but why waste time. Hope that helps Edited March 13, 2021 by Hog_driver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
