I'm considering to buy the F5. Being an offline pilot, tutorials, missions and campaigns are essential to me. It is sad for me because for my PC is not powerful enough to move to DCS 2.0 so I'm on 1.5 and the two additional F-5 DLC campaigns require DCS World version 2.0! And as I understand from this thread, there is no default campaign included with the F-5. Do the "Single missions and full set of training missions" are already available? Do the "Extended Campaign for the F-5E by Maple Flags Missions Developer" are refering to : - F-5E Aggressors Basic Fighter Maneuvers Campaign - F-5E Aggressors Air Combat Maneuver Campaign for DCS 2.0 (and not 1.5) ?

Thanks feefifofum, I will have a look at the video :smilewink:

Thanks, it's clear for me now. And it's good to have a condition on 1 undamaged cargo only (and the rest as a challenge) :thumbup:

I read that the Museum Relic Campaign for the F-86 Sabre has an built-in option to skip missions during the campaign.

I don't have much spare time to fly "long" missions so I need to optimize my time :smilewink: Laivynas, can you clarify please: On the one hand, you say that damaged cargo is preventing advance. So that means that all 4 cargos have to be delivered undamaged. On the other hand, you say that it should be enough to transport one cargo (means not brake it). So I understand that I must deliver 4 cargos with at least 1 cargo undamaged. I read carefully the briefing but did not see any reference to damaged/undamaged cargo. But maybe I missed something.

You are very welcome even if my "review" was a very short one ;)

Hello, I've bought this campaign full price to support the initiative to make campaigns for the Mi-8. I have not flown the campaign yet but do hope that a patch will be released sometimes for this autumn? By the way, there is a review of The Border Campaign on Mudspike : http://www.mudspike.com/dcs-the-border-campaign/

Two years ago when I started DCS, I could complete the Spring Tension campaign by navigating only through dead reckoning. I had a hard time but I did it. Now with the Oilfield campaign, I was forced to learn the Doppler system, NDB navigation, and sling load operations. So thanks for that :) At this time, I'm at mission #8 "Rotation".

Cibit and Art-J, many thanks for your ultra-fast answers and valuable tips. I created a mission with a USA Mi-8 and indeed it works. Problem is when I'm flying the Oilfield campaign, the chopper is Russian. So I'm afraid I will have to use English radio voices for Russian aircrafts MOD https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.c...files/1412070/

Hello, I have been absent for 2 years and have juste reinstalled the Mi-8. As I understand Devrim's english cockpit is now fully part of the Mi-8 and not a separate MOD anymore. If so, congratulations Devrim! And many thanks!

Hello, I am currently learning sling operations and I am most interested in the english automatic voice assistant, which guides pilot where to and at which distance pilot must move helicopter to achieve presise hover over the load. I found the sound files: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Sounds\Speech\Sound\ENG\Mi-8MT\Messages In DCS options, I have: Special > Mi-8MTV2 > Customized Cockpit = English Gameplay > Avionics Language = English But no english voice for sling operations. As the english soundfiles are available, why should I use the English radio voices for Russian aircrafts MOD https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1412070/ ? Is there an option that I mislooked?

Many thanks QuiGon and SkateZilla, for those valuable explanations!

Got it C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircraft\Mi-8MTV2\Doc

Hi, I have an old version (2014) of: DCS Mi-8MTV2 QuickStart EN DCS Mi-8MTV2_FlightManual_EN I now have installed the official release of the Mi-8 I searched in DCS directories but cannot find the last version of those documents

Thanks some1. I did not know it is possible to prevent the updater from updating or revert to an older version

Hi, When DCS 2 is out of alpha/beta and is released officially, will it be possible to continue to use 1.5 even if it is not supported anymore? I am asking because I fear that my PC will not be powerful enough to run 2.0 and maps like Nevada in fluid conditions.

All right, thanks for your answer

Hello Laivynas, I'm curious: How many hours went into the making of the Oilfield campaign? Do you intend to create other "civilian" campaigns for the Mi-8?

Many thanks, I got it and it works!

Laivynas, can I have your help?

After 2 years of absence I am back to DCS and happy to see the Oilfield campaign for Mi-8. I've just flown mission #1 but I like a lot the concept of civilian flight! I'm surprised there is no more feedback on this campaign! (especially that there is no new campaigns everyday). Many thanks Laivynas!

Hi, I read that Flight charts are included pilot’s kneeboard: https://www.helisimmer.com/news/released-mi-8mtv2-oilfield-campaign-dcs/ However when I hit Right Shift + K during a campaign, only the default yellow paper shows. No Oilfield flight chart?

You are right Cibit, I forgot. Actually it is for DCS 2 OpenAlpha and I forgot to tick the trim mode as I did for 1.2.16. When thing go right for a long time, you end by forgetting how you set it up. Thanks.

Thank you, Esac_mirmidon, for your explanation.

Hi, When I activate the trimmer on the MI-8 via the joystick button, I can hear a sound but the trimmer is not working.
