Hi, First for this new campaign. I'm so missing campaign for MiG-21 and in Syria that I'm very happy to have both I've just flew the first mission. A short briefing, and review (aber meiner Meinung narch ) : - Bugs : none. ***** - Voiceover : oh, without that it's a NoGo for me. So big thanks. Sounds good, with radio effect. Just perfet. ****. I would appreciate a little more ATC radio on airport for departure (runway, QNH, taxi, takeoff, landing clearance). But, it's more job. But would be nice. To add even more "Stimmung", I would suggest to add more ground units (people, AA, vehicles, etc.) - Why start from Damascus Intl ? There is a nice air force base just south. Would be nice to start from there. - Mission difficulty : Nice. I loved to fly this mission. Instructions are clear. Impossible to get lost. - It's a nice idea to give enough and clear instructions, waypoint after waypoint, but all those pictures bumping in the center, left upper corner , right upper corner are more disturbing and lower the immersion. I would prefer no picture of Mission Control and Pilot (not needed at all) and just a short pop up picture for the guidance (upper corner - 10 secondes). So my screen is clear. Cheers Dan

Nice video. Very interesting. I did only 2 small campaigns, fully voice-over (for Yak-52 and just for fun - available in User files). I know how long it takes. It's just crazy! Anyway, I'm a bit curious, so I have 2 questions : - How many time do you spare just to answer all requests on this forum and to update the campaign after each major DCS update ? - I imagine creating campaign for DCS is not enough to pay all bills, so, you have another job on the side. So creating campaign is a 20%, 25%, 50% time job ? Cheers. Daniel

Well, I refly the mission to record a track (because I set the record to off to spare SDD life time)... and guess what ? It works perfectly. I could even have my 5th victory. Happy but, anyhow a strange affair. Thanks for your kind and quick help. Dan

So sad. Have to wait until ED update this and hope they will do it and hope it will work. Can't wait. The campaign is so great! Thanks Reflected for quick answer and bug report. Cheers

Hi Reflected, I've just tired to fly the mission 10, but had to let it down. All AI fly like crazy. Until mission 9, no problem at all. All works fine. Starting was ok. I could climb wihtout problem as Red leader just left to White leader. But shortly after rendez-vous with the bombers all formations became crazy . First, they fly too slow. Under 150 kts is quite impossible to maintain a level flight, then they start to descent to 3000 ft, and climb again and descent. The P-47 flew back for a while then rejoin the formation. We lost 4 pilots in collisions. Well I stopped the mission. I updated with latest stable 2.7.10.19473. Cheers Daniel

Well, after a looooong time waiting for the update (on stable version) I finally refly the mission 10. I could cope and kill all those bastards. But it was close. Campaign is now over for me (just flew the last mission). I must congratulate for this wonderful campaign. It's really a 5/5 campaign. Story line, missions, Stimmung. So great! Thanks for you effort and... I'll surely fly again it, because I really enjoyed it Cheers. Daneil

Hi, I thing something goes wrong with this mission! I fly over the river where I am supposed to launch flares but nothing happens. I watched the video and I see a big difference : when I launch the first flare I do not received the message "Flare launched, let's open your eyes!" After a 3rd try, it worked. But, here again a small difference : I arrived a bit more south of the LZ, turned North when I get the message "We arrived, start...". Then I received directly the message : "I see nothing, launch flare". This time no "Fly back to the south". Maybe the reason of the bug Cheers Daniel

Hi, Nope. But you're right : the worst place is over Anderson and at very low altitude, under 500 ft. Otherwise, it's pretty smooth. It doesn't affect the pleasure to play this campaign! So I big congratulation to Reflected for this campaign. So immersive. Missions run perfectly (except the 12, I had to play twice because it did not progress the first time. Second was great. I see the related post) Missions duration is perfect. You know what ? I'm happy. And I will restart another Reflected campaign : I got back to Yalu! Cheers Daniel

Hi Reflected, I'm always fan of your campaigns (I've got all of them, but F-14, because I don't have the F-14 (yet)...). I cannot wait for the last mission to tell you how happy I am to fly this campaign. So immersive. Allways full of fun and surprise. It's just a pitty that the Marianas map performance is so poor. With my i9-9900 + Nvidia 2080 Super, I get a nice fps, but so much stutters and lags, above all at low altitude. Anyway, you can nothing against it. Maybe an advise ? Cheers Daniel

You're the best man! Thanks a lot!

Hi, I love most of the campaign sold here, but I must question you about 2 details that are important for me : 1) Do we start the missions in a C&D (Cold and dark) cockpit or, hope not, hot one ? 2) Do we choose when to end the mission or is it an automatic ending (which I dislike) ? Thanks for your answer Cheers Daniel

Hi Reflected, I've got already most of your WWII campaigns and the amazing F-86. Till today : no regret! Always a pleasure. I'm sure this new one is great too, but I have to question you about 2 details that are important for me : 1) Do we start the missions in a C&D (Cold and dark) cockpit or, hope not, hot one ? 2) Do we choose when to end the mission or is it an automatic ending (which I dislike) ? Thanks for your answer Cheers Daniel

Yes, still the problem. I have the latest Stable version... And here is a track... You will see at the end, the nice warm color turns into cold blue... Cheers Mi8-Color.trk

Thanks. A nice solution. Great would be to have a "Start engine and wait!"

Hi, I now know how to start an AI airplane on trigger (Not controlled => activation by "start").... I've got another question : How to make AI airplane to start engine, but stay in parking until trigger ? It would be great if possible above all with propeller airplane... Any solution ? Thanks Daniel

THANKS!

Hi, I searched for a while, but no success til today. So maybe some one can help. I'd like my AI airplane to be visible, but to start on command (with trigger). When a put them on a parking spot, cold and dark and set the waypoints, they start as soon as the mission start. I want them to start i.e. after 30 sec. or when my plane is in a trigger zone. Is it possible to do this ? Cheers Daniel

FPS LOST yes, but when refly a mission... Hi, I have big big FPS lost every time I do this : fly the missoin 11 of UH1 World appart. Fly 75%, so I do not achieve the mission. I glue at the stage where I should shoot down infantery near the group ALPHA. So I click "Re-fly" and then... oh oh... same place FPS get down from a nice and stable 60 (limited to) to a bad 6-8 FPS... It happens shortly after I fly into the left valley and the copi calls Berlin Control. If I want to retrieve the normal FPS I have to reboot the computer. And it works well again. So if ED will repreduce it, I thing it's a way to start with. If it helps... Cheers Dan

Hi, Just flew the mission 13. Was very relax indeed. I followed the waypoints 1, then 2 to bulleyes. Overlord said "Weapons hot. 180 degrees for 15...", which is very closed, but, I thing the bandits were very scared. In fact I saw no body. Just RTB to get a 100 points score. Cheers Daniel

Hi, Great pleasure to fly this campaign. So realistic and animated. I'm now stick on mission 10. Follow exactly all advises from the topic Mission 10. I kill 100% of the ENI group near the clearing and 99% of the one above. Then I was out of AMO. But ALPHA won't move... And yes the FPS is very bad over there, even with my high end computer. Cheers Daniel

Bingo! To mods : IX514 and Tango... I do not use them, so... DELETE THANKS!

Hi, Just have a look on the screen and tell me where the problem is. Version 2.7.7.1... In mission 8 UH-1 Words Appart 2025 Cheers Daniel

Yep, Thanks. I retry the mission. Same bug. But this time I take the Huey to kill all ground enemies. I returned to reload ammo 3 times and fortunetly I could blow up those morters and the mission goes on. I could end it "normaly"... Cheers BTW : GREAT GREAT campaign. Will write a small review at the end.

Hi, What a nice news. Do you schedule to update also the cockpit sounds ? I mean, the click and slang for ALL switches and levers ? Cheers Daniel

Hi, After landing at X Field, then take off, then smoke on Kobuleti, Dodge 1 (A-10) arrived and begins its passes. But it never ends. I'm told to stay in the vicinity, what I did, but how long does it last ? I wait 20 minutes!!! So I skeeped the mission. Cheers, DG
