Yes, correct. I watched someones YT video on mission 01. He started pop over the hills, i definetly passed the hills and saw some road junction / buildings on next waypoint, then right before the point AAA started shooting. So I edited my comment above. Everything works fine, mission one is great, no bugs. it is challenging as it should be!

Mission 1 first attempt. The T-junction is IP where I should >>>>start< climbing to 15000 ft? If so, how suprised I was that there was AAA right at the IP shooting at me, being 300 ft AGL. Or maybe I got the attack run plan wrong? Turned out I missed the IP, looking on YT videos I should start climbing earlier on the hills line, waited too long and got hit by AAA. Second thing, the next WPTin nav comp was egress, I thinkt 30 nm not the target. First I was hit by AAA ("Ranger 1-3 you're dead" :() then got confused about target location, I noticed some smoke from already hit target dropped 4 cbu in direct mode, hit some SA-3 lunchers and other stuff. (not sure if that was my target, I havent notices any runway. Started coming back, and noticed F-5 on my 3 o'clock, how suprised I was I have only guns (wtf :() - I understand I shoudl rely on the F-15C ...well, got hit at least twice in the tail... At Mount Irisih I waited for Rocket 1-1, Rocket-1-2. Tried to figure out from kneeboard which tanker I should hit. So I looked on the AAR plan. How suppose I should guess which one to hit? Then suddenly radio chat started about refulleing, - ok grat I want to refuel -> "Push Texaco 61" Which one is Texaco 61?!?!?! no info about it on AAR map. I cheated and looked on F10 map...got there with almost no fuel, then script automatically gave me radio control (dont need that, I heard couple of times, I need to take control, when I want to talk. When i was looking for radio channel for Texaco in kneebaord - going through all this pages, emergency procedures, approach, departure, coordinates (too many pages really) I found radio coms table and ONLY here there is a link between AAR plan names and "dcs names" for tankers. Tried to connect, failed twice, run out of fuel, tanker said good by. by the way he is hard to catch up, too fast imho. I will try again with this mission, a bit disappointed, you need to fail, learn how this all works to succeed. What I love though is the immersion. Busy in the sky, busy on the radio, busy on the ramp. All the time something is going. Definetly it is not boring.

Hey, I am not a modder unfortunetly, but I have ideas (this is quite easy). I was wondering is some smart people would be intrested to create a Jester update to run a before take-off checklist and after flight check lists. It is really good and working in Reflected Campaigns. Ideal, dream feature would be to use also Vaicom for that. Really immersive.

I got similar setup (a bit weaker CPU - 7900x3D), 4080 and Pimax CL. Since about a month, probably linked to last updates I have terrible screen tearing especially on the ground or when switich from F10 to normal view. It happens in random intervals takes 30 s then stops, after a minute or so comebs back agai. What is intresting if I hit ESC in single player, the game is paused but tearig is still there, I tapped the headset to go to passthrough mode and lazy, chopped movement was also there!! very strange. I use PImaxXR, Quadview Companion, I am set on 1.1 res in Pimax Play, I don't use DLAA/DLSS at all. I dont have this issue in F-16 at all. Yesterday I turned off the special function of F-4 phantom WIP reduced simulation and played for about and hour and didnt have any stutters.

I have had not expected that things can get even more complicated before mission 7. How naive I have been. Great ride, a grain of salt is finding the target. I try to explain without spoilers my struggle. Navigation using bullseye refrence - first time i was dong this. First I tried to locate the point using HSD but then discovered that it is more precise to set a point from bullseye using FCR in ground mode. I was on station trying to tally the target, but FCR in both GM and GMT gave nothing, outside only hills and snow. It took me 15 minutes at least, burned fuel to the Joker. Then (cheat trick) I used wingman to show me the vector on target. Poor kid :O. Anyway looking for some hints how to crack this task.I wonder what would be the best approach.Will check also on YT. Cherry on the top at the end was brilliant I was confused, was tempted to use perpendicual way to main one, wide and quite long but heading was not right... giving a second tought about this, checking radio comms log again saved me. ;).

First shotdown - I survived however will have opportunity to try russian diet in one of their winter resorts. All was going well, radar destoryed, I panicked a bit and dropped CBU in the same spot, hoping the AAA are there. There was a lot of smoke and still not safe because of (spolier alert). Then coming to my question. What does it mean: "Keep the AAA busy so F-15 can do their jobs" What should be "by the syllabus approach" - distance, altitude, let them shot me or just let FC mud spike me. I didnt know, got to eager, did some manouver on 5k ft lost energy and got shot by AAA :(.

I was a bit lucky succeed in the first attempt. Also AI wingman made herself useful (what a suprise :)). So I was going quite fast to JDAM drop point. Immdietly after realese I turn hard to deck and 90 degrees to foxbat, dropping chaffs like hell. Thrust to the Gate, then turning cold to him. I got 600 kts so there was no chance the missle can reach me. Still Mig was chasing me, I've seen on HSD that Scotter is flanking him, quite close, she had him on the fork, easy kill. Good 2 ship tactics , learned it in F-4 in one of Mig Killers Campaign Mission :).

Your opinion as IRL JTAC count the most. Thank you for that! All I can add I 100% agree missions until 10 are fantastic had a great amount of satisfaction from completing challenging task, very intresting scenarios. But number 10......;) I will do it on immortal mode and move on to finish the campaiign.

I stopped playing the campaign on this mission. I havent died until mission 10. All the previous taskings made sense, but request for "Show of force" by JTAC, low level flight while he knows there are Manpads in the area? What kind of idea is that? Who could risk a life of pilots for this kind of ridicilous idea. It is not a flying circus. It is too damn frustrating, I just cant make myself trying over and over again playing cat and mouse with Manpads. Especially because I have to start everything all over again: do the coldstart, fly over, drop the first bomb and then this ridicilous tasking.

I am after MM03 - CAP. Loved the length of mission 3 and tasking, so many things, which might go wrong. This is not a newbie campaign, but if you have many hours "under the belt" on F-16 and good situational awarness you will be very satisfied! I only struggeled a bit with contacting Tanker. I have a bind to open radio menu, I didnt have a bind which will open radio menu on specific radio channel in this case UHF. I then paused the game and checked here in on forum what is wrong hehe. I love the cold start and all the preflight checks with crew chief. I learned buttons in the cockpit which I never touched. To summarize good fun. MM03 I used all I had under my wings and ammo, spend aprox 2 hours in the air, and did 150 pts and 100 completion score. So far, so very good!

Hi Guys, Havent seen any recommendation in the manual on how to setup the curves? I made +25 on yawn,pitch and roll but I am not happy. Phantom is a bit jumpy up and now when I push or pull the stick. I am using Orion F16ex grip and orion base. Any recommendations on pitch/yawn/roll but also rudder, breakes and thrust axis?

Hi, Any hints, tips on misson 11 The SOC? >SPOILER ALERT< I set the bombs to tail fuze, put drop in pair. Lasing on the ventilation shaft. I get target not destoryed. I changed the realesed angle to 0 degree is it the reason I cant hit it? General issue with FCR: I just can see these fricking migs 29 on the radar. I was flying on 28k feet, they were Angels 5. Is this the reason my FCR was empty. Of course I couldnt see either visually either, I am flying in VR - on PICO set, DLSS quality. How can I improve spotting? I put LOD on 2 (max). Is visibility ranger inrease bandint spotting distance too?
