Also, Su-27 at max speed at sea level will experience autopilot wobbling similar to the effect when the speed is too low.

That's brilliant, thank you for this. I always struggled without locking on TGP first (which took too much time) but with PATH HOLD I can fire 6 MAVs in a single pass :)

Can you rearm and refuel on a carrier? Does that replace the chute?

Oh, I see. I guess I was just lucky :-) Thanks

I had problem with the first task. What does the "correct target" mean? Both locations had similar targets. I could not figure out which one was correct, so I picked one at random and the mission proceeded, but I am sure there is something more to it?

Another excellent campaign, thanks for doing it! As you noted some things got broken by the 1.5 upgrade, but for the impatient here are some workarounds which help with some of the issues: - let all the other friendlies take off first, before you even start taxi - in the last mission, some enemy AI are stuck on the ground at Sochi. You will not win unless they are destroyed, so you may need to RTB and re-arm with A-G ordnance. Luckily this is Su-27 not F-15 mission :). Sometimes AI will deal with them for you with guns, sometimes not. One suggestion for the future: maybe it's too much to require killing every single one of enemy units in order to advance the campaign. For example, if enemy Tu-160 is damaged and turns back to base before dropping bombs, this should count as success. As it is now, I had to chase it all the way to Novorosiysk and destroy in on the ground! BTW, I loved the surprise ending! Thanks again Bolek

There are various Windows utilities that implement a virtual joystick controlled by mouse. Here is one https://autohotkey.com/docs/scripts/JoystickMouse.htm but search around, there may be better ones (other names I heard are Vjoy, Glovepie, PPJoy).

This is nothing new, I have seen it happen many times before with other older versions too. It is kind of random: it does not always happen and the sound does not always come back either. I basically stopped using restart mission because of it. The issue is not specific to Su-27 either.

Something seriously weird happened to me in this mission. First, Schaefer was pronounced KIA, even though he wasn't (he was hit though). In fact there were zero losses on blue side! Then Chevy landed anyway and Schaefer was reported safe on Chevy. And then nothing happened for a long time. Ultimately mission was a failure. Track posted here: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1PNuJfUim6dhc5Lpw6N09koGdlYTtiD7r EDIT: seems a bit similar to what happened to paulca here: http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=2719273&postcount=6 but my Schaefer wasn't dead!!!

So, I still don't know what is wrong with the wingman but I am pretty sure that he is waiting for the two F-16s that just landed to park. But they are behind him, there is no interference. Maybe just stupid AI... Sometimes when I take longer to start the plane, we are taxiing behind the F-16s and this seems to work better. But if we are in front, the wingman seems to wait for them to park.

One problem I have with this mission is that the wingman does not want to take off!. He taxis but stops just short of the runway and sits there forever. Sometimes I can wake him up with "Rejoin formation" or "Fly to steerpoint" but it doesn't always work and I can't figure out the pattern. Sometimes he just takes off by himself after really long time, but he is so far behind that almost useless in combat.

I guess the campaigns were never meant to be included. The original announcement says "30% off Flash Sale on all DCS modules except...".

What about the campaigns? They are all at full prices.

I can confirm the debriefing bug, JTAC not responding bug and 3x RTB bug in 1.5.3.51417. None of it is critical though, you can finish the mission without JTAC since Overlord gives you radar coordinates and you can find the mortars from there. Also, it seems that TGP in FLIR mode is improved since early days of 1.5.

You mean zooms out, not in? AFAIK, there is no way to disable this.

The problem with using joystick software (like TARGET or SST) for this is that you need a different profile for each aircraft and you have to keep switching them as you switch aircraft. If there was a "cycle radar scan mode" command (even if it is unbound by default), you can assign it to whatever button/key you want for this aircraft only.

That's right, I was more worried that this was not a bug :)

I can confirm this (in 1.5.3.51171). I hope that this is not how the real aircraft works? Would make life difficult...

Is there a PDF version of this Polish manual? Thanks

Is there any more information about the F-14 mod that is on your website? How does it work? Is it flyable? Can you land on a carrier? What flight model? Thanks

OK, thank you!

When landing, after touchdown, how long are you supposed to keep the nose up? Do you let it drop on it's own or push it down with the stick (and when)? It seems it takes forever for the nose to drop on it's own, like in this track (from 1.5.3), but maybe that's what it is? Thanks M-2000C-landing.trk

I agree, but has this bug been ever acknowledged? Thanks

I just can't find that one It's called "STORES 2 Select" in the UI, by default mapped to LCtrl-3

OK, but that means that the if the aircraft is flying straight and level then the missile has to turn upwards right after launch, therefore loosing some energy. It stands to reason that there would still be some (theoretical) advantage to pitching the aircraft up before launch. Whether it matters in practice, I don't know (obviously :)).
