This is the Red Flag 16-2 Campaign for the A-10C Warthog. The campaign spans 10 missions and is a VERY accurate representation of a typical Red Flag scenario. I plan/fly/debrief the missions from beginning to end as usual and add Tacview views after the fact to show what is going on in more detail. The rest will follow as they are completed. I skip some of the background info included in the first few videos of the F-15C Campaign but those can be viewed here if you would like to catch up:

Here is a recap of another mission flown in the Oculus Rift. It is part of my on-going Red Flag campaign but in a different format. All commentary is given after the fact and Tacview is used extensively. I was surprised to find that I was far more effective on this mission than before despite the low resolution in the Rift. Granted, it was partly because I am 40% smarter when I am not describing what i am doing in real-time but I think it is sort of like TrackIR, the more you use it the better the experience becomes. I can't wait for the CV1. :)

The last engagement and debrief for mission 3 are up.

Part 7 covering the first engagement of mission 3 is up.

Hey, this is awesome so far. :) I'm almost positive you guys already have most of these but here is what I ran into so far: Mission 1 Briefing: - Pg 3, last paragraph; "relieved by Ford 5 and Ford 6 flights". Chevy 6 came on station at the end of our vul time but I never heard radio calls from Ford 5 or 6 that would indicate they were coming back to relieve us. - The briefing mentioned no AWACS/GCI would be available. If so, who were the radio calls from, Ford 4? - Pg 5; "Sun: West" should be "Sun: East" Mission 2 Briefing: - Pg 3, para 3; "behind the first four-ship" should be "behind the first two-ship" or just "behind the two aircraft in front of you". I caught on but only after they were airborne. :) - Pg 4, para 8, 9, and 10; "Texas Lake" should be "Coal Valley". - Pg 6, para below Mission Objectives; "(41 will be the player)" should be "(31 will be the player)" or whatever the intent is. - Same paragraph; "relieved by Ford 5 and 6 flights". I was listening for these but only Chevy 6 came on station at the end of our vul time. - Pg 6, second para from bottom; "Colt flights" should be "Uzi flights". Mission 2 in-flight: - The radio call at end of the tour referenced the CAP between stp 12 and 13. It should be between 13 and 14. - I know there has already been feedback on the lineup card timing but as a reference, I went on station for the CAP at 16:31 local. Awesome campaign so far!

Part 2 is up...

This is mission 1-3 of the Red Flag 16-2 Campaign for the F-15C Eagle. The campaign spans 10 missions and is a VERY accurate representation of a typical Red Flag scenario. This exceeded any expectation I had for detail and care put into the briefings and mission designs. I plan/fly/debrief the missions from beginning to end as usual and add Tacview views after the fact to show what is going on in more detail. The rest will follow as they are completed.

No, this isn't the one about head position. This is a limit on movement range as described in the first post.

I'm bumping this to the top in case anybody still needs it. It wasn't included in today's update but maybe next time...

Update for the 8th:

Parts 3 and 4 are available above.

Thanks! Part 2 covering Autopilot and Radar is posted above.

Here is the first video in the Test Flight series for the Mirage 2000. Topics will be part of the video title and more are to come soon.

Head movement using Track IR in the cockpit is restricted when moving down in the -Y (Nadir) direction. The head can only be lowered a small amount before hitting a limit. This restricts vision around obstacles such as the stick and throttle and feels very unnatural when compared to other modules. To duplicate, lean over or lower your head in the cockpit. In-game head movement hits a "floor" and stops. Here is a recommended adjustment to the Views.lua that resolves this: Line 11 (change in bold): limits_6DOF = {x = {-0.050000,0.450000},y ={-0.500000,0.100000},z = {-0.30000,0.30000},roll = 90.000000}, Thanks!

Kneeboard not functioning The kneeboard usually available through RShft-K is not available. (I swear this was reported by somebody earlier today but I no longer see it here.) I can understand this being a low priority but I have come to rely so much on placing manuals and documents there that I am dead in the water without it.

Part 5 of 5 is available above.

Thanks. :) Part 4 is available above.

Thanks! Part 3 is posted above.

A quick update... I just finished double checking the scoring and am starting work on the video to go along with the results. Everything will be available on Saturday. Nice job everybody!

Ok, part 2 is posted above. This is pretty cool if you are curious about the targets:

Here is a guided tour of the NTTR terrain flown in the A-10. It includes identification of landmarks used for navigation, some weapons deliveries on various ranges, and some history of the area. Links are in the video description to information sources and maps used.
