Lots to look forward to next year! Hopefully we also get Vulkan.

Watch it to the very end! Afghanistan and F-4 Phantom II confirmed. Those GPS coordinates are for Bagram Air Base.

Same. I got it on sale. The kneeboards in English would have been helpful, but I decided just to try to learn how to read Cyrillic, instead, for immersion lol.

Hello everyone! I just thought I'd post here that I'm almost done with a complete walkthrough of this campaign (as of DCS version 2.7.7 - 2.7.8). I didn't see too many walkthrough videos on YouTube, so if you're having trouble with a mission, you can try checking out my recording of it. I haven't encountered any mission-breaking bugs, but the music in the current version tends to overlap radio audio in some cases. Subtitles are helpful in this regard, but it would be nice if the radio music played through the radio in the Ka-50 that has volume control. (Only one radio has bindings for radio volume. The other does not. Would also be nice if ED could implement bindings for both radio volumes.) I'm also not sure if this campaign has been updated for the current DCS lighting adjustments as this campaign came out prior to the lighting overhaul, so I'm also posting this for the mission creator to see how the missions are currently looking in the current DCS version. Anyway, I would strongly recommend this as a purchase because this campaign has good voice acting and interesting and challenging missions to fly. The music selection was superb. I felt like a real Russian helicopter pilot, and this is the first campaign where I've had to master two aircraft to complete it. Looking forward to future updates for this campaign and, of course, the Crew campaign for the Mi-8 when I get time to fly it!

This is good news! Looking forward to playing it again.

Hello, Overall this has been a fun campaign to fly. However, some of the music tracks are a bit too loud or don't trigger correctly. For instance, in mission 4, sometimes two music tracks start playing simultaneously, and the volume can't be adjusted because they are playing on the radio in the Ka-50 that has no volume control. In some cases the music is louder than the radio dialogue as well. This isn't the only mission so far in the campaign in DCS 2.7.7 having the issue, but it's the best example I have recorded. See 36:14 in the video. Here is a link to the mission track file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3c6507idch120c7/memoryofaheromission4.rar?dl=0.

Thanks! Thanks!

Still occurring with DCS 2.7.7.15038. I have attached more screenshots and a track file. su25damage.trk

The damaged engine texture on the Su-25 is missing a LOD texture. Depending on the zoom level, a random camo pattern appears. This has persisted across several patches for me. I have tried repairing DCS and deleting fxo/metashaders. Still occurring in DCS 2.7.7.14727.

Still getting 99% usage with preload radius set below 50%. Only happens on the Syria map.

Flew a mission on multiplayer server today running 2.7.6.13436. I have 32GB of RAM, and the mission loaded with 95% of my RAM being used. I'm going to try reducing the preload radius to see if it helps, but it appears that only the Syria map has this problem with excessive RAM usage. I don't get near this amount of RAM usage on the other maps.

I was finally able to upgrade to an RTX3080Ti from a GTX1080. In case anyone else is thinking of doing the same, I made a video comparing the performance of the two. In some cases, I had more than twice the frames of the 1080, so there is definitely headroom here.

Thanks! It looks like the images are also in the kneeboard, so those are easier to read. Hopefully we can get intro videos with the same voice actors as in the English version of the campaign. This campaign is an interesting change of pace from normal DCS campaigns, and we could use more of these!

1) I noticed that there are videos in the campaign folder that we are supposed to watch prior to flying the missions. However, all of the videos I have are in Chinese with English subtitles. Are there any English audio versions, or are those planned for later? 2) The images in the briefings for the missions are a bit too difficult to read inside the briefing window. Is there somewhere that I can open the images externally in file explorer, so I can read the images on a bigger screen? So far, I am impressed with the amount of work put into this campaign. It was a great idea to bring in an Ace Combat inspired campaign to DCS. I certainly would like to see more in the future made in this style!

Already did. For comparison:

I might just be dense, but I am having trouble adding an armed speedboat to the mission editor. I can't find this unit in the encyclopedia, and regardless of the red/blue coalition I select (I've tried all the common ones: Russia, Insurgents, USAF Aggressors, Iran, etc), I cannot find Armed Speedboat in the list. Does anyone else have the same problem? Edit: Workaround was to create a template from a mission that had armed speedboats in it. Still not clear how to add them without making a template from another mission.

Bump. I am also having a next to impossible time with spotting small speedboats. The wakes are too small which makes them almost invisible at night or during the day. The boats also do not show up on NVGs regardless of gamma settings. I'm going to be posting a comparison video to highlight the issue once it's done rendering. Here is the comparison video. In previous iterations of DCS the speedboats were much easier to see. Now, they are next to impossible to spot. The video is still processing, so it might take a day or two for 1440p to be visible to make the issue easier to see. Here is a real photo of a speedboat wake for comparison.

Tried this mission on the latest patch. The speedboats are impossible to see, and they don't twinkle on NVGs like they do in the video. It seems the lighting update has turned these little boats into stealth boats at night. Looks like there is a bug report for these here. I'm going to make a comparison video for bug reporting on this thread.

Mission 3 walkthrough.

This sounds like a great campaign! Will there be a supercarrier version of this campaign, or can we get by via editing the mission files and replacing the stock carrier with the supercarrier of our choice?

Doing a walkthrough of this campaign. Baltic Dragon has done it again! Great work.

I tried out the F-14A in BVR vs 2 MiG29As in the On Devil's Edge mission. Looks like the Phoenix guidance has been updated pretty significantly as the enemy AI were able to break radar lock pretty easily.
