25 JAN 23: All Missions: Winds adjusted to reduce crosswinds on deck.

Hi Wiggo The last campaign in the series of four, which has not long been released, is 'Rise of the Persian Lion II'. This the follow on from the 'Rise of the Persian lion'. This continues the story with additional characters and also increases complexity of the missions so you are more involved with the radios etc. Will be doing more but each one takes about a year to make and each has to be maintained on a regular basis as ED updates are released.

Hi, not sure if you could easily do this but it would be interesting if you could fly the mission without the mods. Did have one fellow pilot who had similar issue on another mission. It worked when he flew without the mods. I will fly myself and see how it goes and let you know. Thanks.

Hi will check it out. Are you running and mods or voice attack?

Well done, hope you enjoyed the campaign. Yes there is some weird stuff going on with EDs AI at the moment, mods can impact and one pilot found voice attack was a problem. Hopefully ED will get it sorted.

Hi, thanks for the heads up. I will take a look. The AI recently have become very temperamental since last update. It has happened before and that why I introduced a safety system to allow the mission to progress even if he decides not to fire his JSOWS. Glad your enjoying the campaign. Badger634

Thanks Pyrocumulous.

Unfortunately you will until the fix is issued in next update. Hopefully ED will issue soon. It’s frustrating from our end as mission had worked perfectly until recent update.

Yes kill one tiger at a time otherwise the triggers will overlap. Will check out the other things. Most important are you running any mods or say voice attack? These can have an impact on the AI currently. EDIT: Just flew the mission. Sting did attack ground targets as scripted. As requested do you have an mods running even things like voice attack as these can impact AI at the moment.

Hope you enjoy. Check you have the Persian map though as you will need it for this one.

Hi, if you can try it without SRS. Some of these mods seem to effect the scripting. There was an instance where voice attack was doing this even though the pilot was not actually using it in the mission it was just loaded. Suggest you get Tacview it is free and is great for analysing your flight and help you see what went wrong and what went right. Will certainly help your flying. Badger633

Hi, glad you have got A2A refuel down. That’s the purpose of the campaign is to bring pilots on bit by bit. Yes easy refuel gives a fixed fuel load but you still have to get in the right position and at the right speed to progress the mission. Not perfect but does allow pilots who cannot yet carry out A2A refuel still to take part in long missions increasing their experience. Also when they can, they can replay the campaign in normal mode. If you like, try my next campaign in the series, ‘Rise of the Persian Lion’ which as the last, will task you but in a progressive way. It also continues Fords exploits in the Persian Gulf. Hope this helps Badger633

Hi Have you got a Tacview of your flight so I can check out what happened exactly. Don’t understand how you didn’t get a message as all the fails come with an explanation , are you sure you didn’t miss it? Also noted you said you were going to hold at WP2 but there you are directed by Strike to commence CAP as fragged. This in the brief puts you over the city. It could be if you have incorrectly orbited over WP2 you may have drifted to far from coast such that you have strayed into a fail zone. Do you think this could be the case?

Good points may well introduce into Kneeboards later Cheers.

@KENNY1988 Should be out soon. Trouble is the update also covers core Sim updates so it depends where ED is with these before they decide when a full update is issued, so we never know when. Saw you covered mission 1 and 2. I put them on my u tube playlist as I have done with my other campaigns you have covered. I like how accurately you fly. Cheers

Hope you enjoy the rest of the campaign

Hi Yes Tacview would be great. I will also fly through myself. See how it goes as you say maybe 1 or 2 hours earlier. However must admit the masochist in me did like the difficult light conditions it created on landing. Will let you know how I get on. Incidentally have made quite a few updates which have been issued and will be in next update but have been held up waiting on EDs next update. EDIT: 19 Jan 23 20:13 / Checked it out . Your right. Have now changed start time to 16:10 two hours earlier. Issued to ED already so hopefully in next update. Thanks Badger633

Hi Kenny Nice to hear from you, hope your keeping well. The operation of the carrier on returns is not within the control of the mission editor so is decided by the DCS Sim. I suppose the issue is as you return night is starting to fall. If I remember I normally get quite a dark case 1 on approach. What is the issue is it that other aircraft are case 3 and you are are 1. Or was it you did a case 1 approach but didn’t get a Charlie signal? Badger633

Hi Badger633

Hi, your instructions from Strike is to get in there get your images and get out of there. Your ROE is not to engage the Migs unless fired on. You should have plenty of time to get in there and get out without engaging the Migs. Try next time doing just that. You have to be within 20 miles of the harbour to take the photo. All should be fine then. Set the harbour as target so you get distance read out. Not at my rig at the moment but will check your Tacview out then. Thanks hope this helps. Badger633

Hopefully update will be soon.

Have you already got the Persian map, Supercarrier and F18 modules?

As it says in the brief you have to follow instructions. IRL you have to follow Air Traffic Control instructions when they say “Right turn for backtrack”. If you don’t it’s a serious breach. Remember the old pilot proverb, “There’s nothing more useless than runway behind you”.

I assume your using your radar to the max. Have you seen this great video? Also this is excellent I normally get them locked up early use the exp to ensure your targeting the two on the right. Get your 120,s off, you should get at least one, and then get defensive straight away go to your 9xs use your head mounted display and you should be able to get an advantage as you can virtually shoot at 90 degrees. Use your SA page to help locate the bandits if you lose visual. The key is to get them quickly. Can be done. Hope this helps.
