Well, we could recenter no problem but it centers back to the weird forward position. To fix it, we had to physically lean forward then recenter, so it moved backwards when you sat back into your regular position. But of course that only holds until you recenter again. Will check it out, thanks!

@Mistermann, I ran this with a few friends yesterday and was a lot of fun, thanks for producing it. I wish there were more of these out there. One question - my group, who all use VR, seemed to be forced into a cockpit seating position that is more forward than usual. Is there something in your mission setup that forces this somehow? Never come across it before. Thanks

This is interesting, I had noticed this also but thought it was just the way you had designed it to limit labels. I can only toggle the spotting dots.

Thanks for taking a look @Sandman Simulations. What confused me most is the ineffectiveness of my missile shots. Always within parameters but almost always missing, yet their shots always hitting. One other thing I noticed is that the Harpoons can be inaccurate, going after a random ship, not the one you lock. I found it best release within 5nm or so to make sure they go for the right one. But watching the lead's Harpoons, usually one of them goes for one of the refugee ships. But I think they are set to invulnerable so it doesn't mess with anything.

Ok, tried one more time. This time I climbed to 30k feet to Mach 1.1 and got well within RNE before shooting the 120, which hit. Then immediately went to the 9X's for the second guy, within 3 miles, shot both, 1 missed. Somehow I managed to narrowly evade a missile shot. So something like 10 attempts in, I completed it. This one doesn't sit right with me, A-A engagements have never been so sketchy and I've done pretty much every FA18 campaign available.

Yep, tried one more time with similar result, even trying different approach. Fundamental problem is that missiles miss 100% of the time. I feel something is broken.

Ok, thanks. Might give it one more try before giving up and skipping. I don't mind it being difficult but the missiles missing all the time just doesn't make sense, especially the 9X. Never had such issues before, only on this mission.

Hi @Sandman Simulations, in the A-A engagement in mission 6, I just can't get past it after trying maybe 8 or 9 times. The lone AIM120 misses most of the time and the AIM9X's refuse to hit entirely, meanwhile the first missile one of them get off on me hits 100% of the time to instant death regardless of evasive manoeuvres and CMS. Now I'm not a noob, I do know how to employ these weapons, I fire with SHOOT cue, well within RMAX if not RME but they just don't seem to work on this mission and I can't stomach trying it any more. So, 2 questions: 1) is there something funky with these enemies in this mission or any DCS bugs you're aware of that's causing my issues? 2) If not, is there any way I can just skip this mission? Thanks

Thanks for checking, I don't remember seeing or reading such message but I could well have just missed it or pressed space accidentally.

Hi @Sandman Simulations, just completed Mission 3 and have question about the case III recovery comms. The briefing does say that we'll contact Marshal separately but after Queen says to switch to Marshal, there's no further comms from her about the recovery. I found myself following her around in the dark with her typical erratic moves not knowing what she was doing and whether I should wait for her instruction or go ahead and contact Marshal. I eventually decided to go ahead and start usual case III comms and went fine after that. Just want to know if I missed some instruction from Queen or some intended comms perhaps didn't trigger? Thanks

@Sandman Simulations I noticed in the intro for mission 2 with the MiG-21's taking off, the intro text shows October 2023. Should this be 2015?

I was wondering the same thing. I just accelerated time to get through it quicker.

Hi, quick question having just finished Mission 2. On recovery, I got a NC grade because of no communications, presume this is because you don't use the standard DCS comms. Is that right or did I miss something? If this is correct, I guess I should be expecting this throughout the campaign? I hope not because doing proper recoveries and getting a LSO grade is what I always look forward to at the end of a hop.

OK, I think I'll give the ROPL 2 campaign a break until the next update then! I'll give the original Raven One a try but not sure if it will be a little too complex for my level. And no worries, I don't mind raising issues when I see them. It's not to complain but so that you can see them also and fix them for everyone, including a few friends who are working through the campaigns too. I appreciate the difficulty in keeping up with the platform changes and I'm happy to help, especially if it means it helps you in making more great content!

@Badger633 oh the ship exploded but because I sent a JDAM at it after I saw the 2 splashes and waited for like 5 more mins of accelerated time with no progress. I did refuel and finished the mission successfully with the below at the end
