Ok, very good!

This mission is easily one of the best I ever had the joy to play within DCS. Simply outstanding! Hek Ah, I have one question, the supplies you load onto your helo - do they have a mass, affecting the total mass / flight behavior of your helo?

By the time I reach FL250 on outbound departure vector falcon -> 085/FL250 I am far east of WP1. I would have to fly quite a mile backwards to WP01 - if I go direct to WP02 I do miss the triggers on WP01. I could use full burner to get up to FL250 more quickly - then I would have the problem to conflict the LTD19 oil terminal enroute to WP1. So what is the purpose of the WP01? Suggestions: Put WP01 onto the outbound 085 vector in a distance where you can reach FL250 without use of the burner to connect that vector to the route. That way WP01 would make sense imho. Set an upper limit of LTD19 like 3500ft AGL - that one can cross it at safe altitude. Otherwise ATC had to deconflict you in IMC/with no earth view (visual reference) wich in current state I doubt the engine is capable of.. Maybe additionaly you can get LTD19 and LTD13 on the F10 map (if it is possible in the mission editor now) for a better situational awareness. Thank you for that superbe campaign I am having a lot of fun with. Yours, Hek

Imho this is the one most important thing for that bird to be of any use. At current state with him not even return fire on targets direct in front it is a horrible experience for me... Do we have any timeframe of when this feature is planned for?

I like it - fast way to practice! Technically - it is case II or? Sry nitbitting

Same observation here - LTD/R switch can't be right clicked to flip to up/on position. minor/cosmetic bug though...

I'd prefer not to have user comments in the official update section... because - it's official...

Lucky me - was able to land the bird 1st hand. Realized, that the engines are still running!

Starting the mission thrust is set and my Hornet begins to taxi into the fuel truck wich for what ever reason is parking just in front of the plane.

I did land on the carrier, got that 'failure' but was able to continue with 100pts to the next mission.

Bought. Reading manual. Printing maps. Watching tutorial. Planning.

Be prepared for some nice xwind recoveries on the carrier since it is not changing it's heading according to changing wind direction afaik.

What an amazing week. Eight days to finish all four phases of this incredible mission. Super. One tough nut to crack was Hama Airfield - we were not able to call anything to help like it was possible with all the other bases. Dunno if intentional or why this place was just not in the list of bases the player is able to call support to. Anyways - thank you alot for creating this theatre. I will definetly come to see the next play!

And just for clarification - only two spots to load cargo into the transport helicopters are the two existing farps london and paris? One can not 'advance' pick up points further 'to the front' like on new conquered airbases?

Ok, after one day off, today we were able to finish phase one - an absolut blast I am having with that immersion of beeing part in an on going bigger conflict. This is the best PvE mission I played within the last 12 years. Gold.

Ok, Huey overheated due to overloading - weapons and cargo. For what ever reason the weapons havn't been shown in F2 view. And yes, I double checked when I became aware of the temp problem... Now I flew a cargo mission without a flaw by telling ground crew to demount any weapons prior to the cargo mission. Dunno if Huey in this mission is intended for more combat or transport missions - mybe set empty weapon loadout as default? From what I see in the F10 map farp Paris is set to 172MHz? That frequency seems to be out of the Huey's radio freq ranges?

1. It might just be a bit dissapointing for a new player to spwan into a pile of rubble, that was more or less my point. I do like that was more or less my point. It was a bit unlucky though, that I was sitting at that spawn point for to long. I might move out of the covered stand next time before I program my waypoints. 2. looks like for the weapons I do need lat long coords anyways, so not a biggi. 3. Nice! 4. Will check it for another time, had no weapons loaded at that first attempt. 5. Very good, just wanted to be sure. Have to have a much better eye on those low level flights. Nice!

For the 2nd time I joined an online server running it - I love the idea of the mission and it's complexity. One occasion - and I am just not sure if it is intended: Sitting in one FA18 in Ramat preparing the flight (programming waypoint of the task) I got attacked by a Su24 strike and killed, that attack collapsed the shelter. Unfortunately from now on these spawnpoints are no longer usable coz for obvious reasons you are now spawning into that pile of rubble rendering these spawnpoints useless. Now that we have the ability to enter waypoint coordinates as MGRS - can you add MGRS for the mission task (F4) coordinates to be able to use them? Awacs is beeing shot down quite often - I'd think it would fly with some cover as it is a really high value asset? Trying to ferry some cargo with the huey from farp paris - turbines got overheated mid flight - maybe the load is quite a bit to high for the hey at the temperatures of the area? I pretty much kept an eye on it but was flying with around 100knots and the gas gen was at or above red line, killing the engine. Are the red cap flights spawning mid air? Running a SEAD mission from carrier I got attacked and killed by a mig21 with no notice by awacs or dl (SA) page. Might be intended but mig21 is not know for its stealthiness Just a few thoughts. I am very much intersted in this mission so far - keep up the nice work!

So the question will be - what is best for DCS? Will DCS make use of DLSS? From what I do understand so far is - and plz correct me if I got the wrong picture - that AMD uses/supports a more 'common' or in line with DX12 standard than nVidia trying to establish a maybe better but more 'proprietary' approach? So for me the choice atm would be 6800XT over RTX3080 - better price, better thermals and the more 'conservative' approach - more VRam instead fancy software/hardware solution?

The forum got hacked? Is that a fall back/backup solution for ermergencies? When do we get back the right forum?

And yes, here it is - 5900X beats 10900. Will be AMD for me finally. Best single core performance.

I haven't played the Campaign since I bought V3.0, besides first release was awesome. So to be able to play through in the II would be doublenice for me. :) Also choosing suitable loadout (like the apkws(?)) in the ME should not be a problem, too... Now I've just got to remap all the hotas and keys for the II... :rolleyes:

Swapping A10C for A10CII within the mission editor - you can do it for yourself within minutes, no need for Baltic to do it imho. Therefore an overhaul with some new missions - the new laser guided rockets just fit to perfect - would be my choice...

What Aluminium Donkey says! Why would you buy a BIGGER monitor with the same resolution? Makes absolutely no sense, imho. You just get bigger pixels -> you need more AA -> DCS MSAA is very hungry for more gpu power -> you waste money. Tune down AA (I switched the ingame MSAA off completely - check it just for to have an idea of HOW MUCH frames it is eating with your current hardware).

I am running on a very budged sandy bridge 2500k, gtx1080 on an LG WQHD 3840 x 1600. I came from FullHD, via 1440p, now this wide format. All with the same compute, just the graphic card changed from 470gtx, via 970gtx to the 1080gtx. I would NEVER go back below 1440p. It is just so much more crispier without AA. I'd say - save all money you can for a decent monitor. Much better investment imho. Now with the prices of the new 30xx the used cards market will collaps. You can get 1080ti's for a few dollars I'd say. One cheap 4 core overclockable cpu and enough memory - I think this is all one needs for DCS.
