Thank you for the great campaign, it was an immersive and sometimes beautiful experience (the MissileEx mission with its sunrise comes to mind!) I enjoyed it and I'm a much better F4 pilot than I was before. It really teaches you how to fly the F4 effectively, even though I still sometimes wallow around at the top of an 'egg' Thanks for that! Some thoughts! Minor spoilers ahead! - The interactive checklists are really great. I just had one or two flights with the F4 when I started the campaign, but the procedures, at least for A2A, are second nature now. - Just like Speed & Angels, the immersion is great. The radio chatter, calling ATIS, the arming area, the details all add up. - An eye opener were the group/section tactics. The way things work out differently really teaches you the pro's and cons of different gameplans - If there's one thing that might take you out of the immersion, is that in some instances, the advice given to you is not appropriate for the DCS AI. Going vertical in a 1-1 situation is dangerous, since the AI can just follow you even when they are low on energy. Better to keep the fight in a fast horizontal 2 circle. It is still difficult, the AI knows when to reverse its turn, but at least you are in control. In section tactics, where one F4 can keep the bogey(s) down while the other pounces, going vertical works great. In the Have Drill excercise, the incredibly low roll-rate of the Mig 17 does not seem to be an issue when he's on your tail and you're doing 420 - 450 knot weaves as instructed. Still, great campaign! Looking forward to Red Flag!

Got it working! The trick was turning DOWN the video contrast/brightness a bit. I had turned them all the way up, which ends up in a black image apparantly. Thanks for the help!

Ill check those as well, somewhere between the christmas festivities. Thanks for the help and happy holidays!

Many thanks for checking! I'll give it another whirl tomorrow.. I'll try messing around with the Hud brightness knobs as well, see if that helps things. Otherwise.. maybe it's a graphics card/driver issue perhaps. Anyway, I'll check first

Hey folks, I've searched all the web, but I can't get the NavFlir to work... I see the Flir on the right MFD, Hud is set to Night, and when I press SS Down one time (yes, not forward, but down, the same one to call the TPod with double), I see the Hud changing brightness, but I don't see the flir. SSS Down toggles this 'brightness' effect on the Hud, but I don't see anything... Any suggestions?

No problem! Mission 8 was also very cool. I've got no more issues landing on ships! Good to hear there will be a sequel! Will buy that instantly. Hmmm might be worth it to replay the campaign then! Maybe when I can finally buy a graphics card that can run VR.. ahh one can dream..

Just finished mission 7 and loving it so far! Very difficult in parts, but it forces you to become better. Thanks for the awesome work! So ehm... Are you working on something new, perhaps?

Have the same issue, but yeah, rearming with miniguns and rockets and laying down some hell did the trick!

Thanks! The mission starts 8) I can sort of make the mission work now, but all triggers that rely on getting/setting variables (like if you passed the ingress areas) dont work anymore, with no error message . I can remove those conditions and this particular mission will work fine I think. Ill upload the mission when ive adjusted it.

I've been trying to modify the missions myself (weapons training also doesn't work) but I run into an issue. Where is this mist LUA file located? I want to create the trigger but can't find the mist file...

Agreed! I often use the gunsight as it also has a slip meter but it spoils the nice view 8) I also have a feeling that the slip meter is off. When I center the ball at high speed and press f3 it looks like im going sideways!
