Reflected

You probably didn’t notch enough, you just stopped hearing the rwr because your belly was towards the bandit

@OmasRachE thank you for the kind words, enjoy the campaign!

The timings are all randomized a bit. But hey, this is training, and IRL nothing will ever go as planned

1) what you describe is not scripted in the mission. Better check with Heatblur. But I see your trim hat being all the way to the right... 2) changing your loadout can possibly break triggers, I highly recommend not to. Even if it doesn't, it adds drag, and increases fuel consumption.

The more complex a mission, the less flexible it is, by definition. To set up an optional refuel at Tonopah would take at least a 100 new triggers and way too much complexity. How do I know for sure the player wants to divert, not just approach it due to a nav error? What do your wingmen do while you refuel? What does your flight lead do? All voice overs are "fixed", how do I make sure they are still valid after your divert? It's next to impossible. This being said, I THINK if you land and refuel before exiting the range, your flight lead should wait for you at Mt Irish, your wingmen may RTB or something, but the triggers should still work as long as you follow the RTB route and procedures after that. But again, all this is very hypothetical and infinitely more difficult than just being a little more conscious about your fuel management. You have a bingo on your kneeboard, you have to hit the target with more than that. You have a min 5k at the FEBA. Monitor your fuel gauge, don't use burners unless you have to. Don't go faster than what's in your nav plan. During testing I never had to refuel. I had to play the campaign once again to deliberately choose and test the refueling option.

Nope, no restrictions. But for training purposes I recommend using direct. You’ll have a DT mission later.

The campaign was fine tuned and retested after they changed the engine model. Yes it’s hard, but these are exactly the same difficulties Huey pilots faced in real life (they had it even harder). If you read any of the memoirs listed in the campaign documentation, the struggle they describe will be very familiar. When I read those books I was like "hey this is totally different from my experience when flying the Huey in DCS" - that was one of the main reasons I built the campaign: to be able to test my skills in realistic situations. Check out my gunship tutorial on Youtube. You need ground effect, wind, and smooth hands. Another trick for slicks if you have to hover out of an lz is to let it spin right. Less power to the tail rotor, more power to the main rotor.

Please send a track to ED, I have no influence whatsoever on the taxi directors. I'm sure this new feature is not 100% ironed out yet.

Thanks, I'll fix the flight plan! If you go rogue like that the mission will likely not work.

No, you’re not supposed to mess with the radio. Jester switches channels for you. again, remember to send me a screenshot of the message history.

You rolled too far forward. It’s core dcs ai behavior to start rolling once you’re past the takeoff point. The tacan spins if you’re too far and or too low. That’s also hard coded into dcs but generally I can pick it up north of NUGET.

Ignore the mission score, that's for campaign progression, nothing to do with how the debrief works.

The startup is done by yourself, for check you can use the options in the Jester menu. Check the briefing, there is a set time for each flight to taxi. Lead will check in when the time comes.

Thank you for the kind feedback. I hope you'll enjoy Red Flag too.

You guys really better take these reports to Heatblur. They're not monitoring this section. It must be a new Phantom bug, I didn't encounter any of these during testing, nor did my testers.
