Hi, so conditions for 100% completion are: Kill 100% of the forces running back to the airbase. Kill all the AAA at the airbase. Stop both fighters (either kill them or fight to a stalemate so they run)

Any freqs you will need will be in you knee-boards, either available in mission (R SHIFT + K) or in the campaign docs file in your DCS install.

No bug, but you should be looking for a village with troops in it, north of the coordinates, not the crash site. The village is about half a mile north of the coordinates given.

Yeah I seem to remember an engine nerf sometime back from Razbam. Glad you're enjoying!

Everything should still work AFAIK but there may be times when the mission has detected you expending all your weapons and moves the mission along.

Just did some quick tests and at light enough weights VL was still possible, I was just, just able to hold a hover at FOB J with about 1000lb of fuel left, 2 empty fuel tanks, full gun ammo and a TGP...some of the time. Other the times the aircraft couldn't quite hold the altitude but would settle very gentle to the ground so no drama there either. Both needed full power and water injection though. With a few knots on the airframe to make it a rolling VL it was a lot easier, I would certainly recommend this approach through the campaign, at some points you'll be landing at higher altitudes so master the rolling VL .

The views are intentionally locked at the moment, although I'm planning on relaxing some if the restrictions in a future update

Ok thanks, did a quick search and there's a few folks on DCS who saw a little reduction in performance the last update so might just be part of that. Also make sure there's nothing running in the background thats taking resources away from windows. After that I'd try playing about with your settings, you might find you want to run on lower settings for the campaign as it can be demanding when there's a lot going on. I found a good guide here: https://www.openflightschool.de/mod/book/view.php?id=236

Do you use TACVIEW? if so I would disable it as it can be quite a performance hog in big complex missions. Should you use any winwing equipment they can be run scripts in DCS that affect performance, so disable them as well if this applies.

Thanks very much, and thanks for picking up Kerman as well. Hopefully I can share some more Hornet news later this year .

Thanks very much, appreciate the feedback. Hope you keep enjoying the rest of the campaign just as much!

Ok thanks I'll check it out, not intended behavior!

The helicopter shot at you?

It is fairly high elevation, but it has always been possible in the past. I'll recheck myself soon, past Harrier updates could well have altered engine performance. No harm in a rolling VL landing though, tower will be perfectly happy with that.

Thank you very much .

TDOA can be enabled easy enough, but it wouldn't help as you don't normally operate as a large enough group of aircraft to make use of it. 2 aircraft isn't enough.

Awesome! Thanks for the feedback, certainly a lively last mission!

Thanks very much! Happy to oblige with the sequel, there isn't a lot of air to air but there is absolutely the chance to make ace!

Thanks!

Hopefully these points help.

Thanks very much. Yeah you'll find all the missions a little longer than FIWOS due to the longer trek across the sea, but gives me a nice space to make things happen in so I quite like it.

Thanks so much for feedback, glad you enjoyed the campaign!

It's a confusing mess in Syria alright. We're the JSTF, fighting the SIA and the SAA, and supporting the SDF and YPG. We're not fighting the Russians but we're not friends either. The SDF are fighting the SAA and SIA. They are aligned although not fully allied with the YPG. The Russians are helping the SAA fight the SDF as well as the SIA. Everyone's fighting the SIA, no one likes them. Easy as that lol. Thanks glad you enjoyed!

You'll also find the mission 1 demo available on my Discord right now! https://discord.gg/F6x7G4buJk
