Hardest Task I'm not sure if we talk about the same mission, what you describe is very similar to Mission 1 in our campaign, but there are some significant differences. :noexpression: First of all, thanks for accepting the challenge and buying the campaign. I am sure that was the right decision.:thumbup: We knew in advance that we have to deal with all kinds of criticism and there is still room for improvements. Even when it's not our fault, like bugs in the actual DCS version, changes in the map or to modules, we take that all seriously. Do you really believe every German speaks perfect English? :smilewink: We also do our best to assist or offer alternative ways when somebody struggles for any reason. But with some tasks, we struggle as well, especially when it comes to open expressed frustration and we are not the ones they shud blamed for the issues that cause the disappointment in the first place. Ther is another player spending 20 hours in ignoring an already well-known issue with the campaign handler? Also ignoring both of the offered solutions because of .... ? I don't know. Of cause he is right, their shud be no problem in the first place, but hey man this is DCS, and it runs on Windows. So I will do everything I can to help you out, with all the respect not only as a customer but also more important as a fellow Pilot. Right after this answer, we open up a new Thread "INSIDES," where we give some tips or, like in your case, we point some things out the pilot has to be aware of. We also show up different ways to do things, for example, how to avoid some tasks. :smartass: But I have at least one advice to you in person. Go and look for somebody ( or send me a private message) which gives you 1 hour of serious flight time and a few tips. After that, you will laugh about the formation-flying in Mission 1. :pilotfly:

Bis zum update durch ED hilft leider nur 1. Die Missionen über den Mission Editor starten 2. Die Kampanien LUA von Hand ändern. Wir haben alles was wir von unserer Seite aus tun können getan und das Zählsystem vorsorglich in allen Missionen geändert, aber ED muss das update herausgeben.

The unit or Group outside zone don't work As well as Group within the zone doesn't work It works by vehicles! TEST AI Gunners.miz

Many thanks- so I can stop trying :thumbup: It's in the release version as well not updated for a few weeks :cry:

Thanks for the links. Great but already known videos. :thumbup: Do it exactly that way, but AI aircraft appearing all at the same parking position regardless of the choice iI made in the ME and static objects disappear or du not appear at all. So it seems to be an actual bug.:cry:

This is Tutorial No. 2 about a fast engine startup procedure that brings you up in the air. A quick startup guide or video may only contain the necessary steps. However, that will be a lousy decision too. Any wrong or careless doing you catch up at the beginning is hard to correct in the future, and bad habits may follow you a lifetime. So this Video guide shows not the fastest way to start up, but the let's say most practicable way to a quick start and should be easy to memorize.

We start a new series of video tutorials. Beginning with the Bell UH-1. In the first video, we get familiar with the Cockpit, it's radios instruments and switches. Helicopter Pilot Meeting Point on DISCORD https://discord.gg/CXCA7rf

Have a problem with the air carriers. Ai aircraft, do not appear or appear all at the same place which is not a parking position. Static objects disappearing when getting closer. Is this a known issue?

Lookbook did not know 5-1 and 5-2 it counts up to 12 5,6,7, and so on. Hope there will be an update this week. ED is also checking what causes these errors.

MISSION 11 / which is mission 10 in the documentation because of 5-1 and 5-2 (Rescue Mission) There are two points in that mission you may struggle and execrate me. :doh: But it is possible, with Peters help, to fly the mission as she is. I spend a lot of time to make that possible. But anyway there is a backdoor in case it would be too heavy. You can't avoid the first "obstacle" otherwise you crash the mission. But for the second time, it's up to you, you have to decide which way to go. At that stage, I am sure nobody has flown mission 11 jet and I don't want to reveal too much. Anyway, bevor getting bored or angry send me a private message and I send you the key for the backdoor.

MISSION 1 - first 12 minutes / uncut There are already many controversy discussions out there, especialy about Mission 1 and the beginning of the mission in particular. :music_whistling: No joke, including building and testing I played this first 12 minutes about a hundred times now. I still enjoy starting up setting instruments and radios while looking out of the window and watching all these things happened at and around the airport. Of cause watching this video and have nothing else to do is not that funny, but it's your chance to get your impressions about how the campaign is built, his complexity and the number of details. Concerning details and complexity: In that video things will happen right in front of your nose you may not have seen in a UH-1single player mission before. It's absolute insignificant but for us and the atmosphere highly relevant. So it took me about an hour to make that possible, without LUA scripting, only with the tools provided by the mission editor. The first one who discovered what I mean and posts a message about it in this thread will get the campaign for free. If he has already bought the campaign, he may give it away to a friend. == After some time and strenuous searching, LEXE received the key. == Here you find a review about the rest of the mission.

In this thread, we post some videos made by ourself to provide a little bit more information about the missions in the campaign. Some will be related to issues players may have with the complexity or the way things needed to be done to master a situation or accomplishing the specific mission. And of cause videos made by others about a mission or the campaign. If you find some video not already posted, feel free to post it as well as comment on these or others.

First realizing this thread was a bit of a shock. But then I saw the reactions out of the community and even the ones struggling with the mission for any reason sharing my vision of a DLC Campaign. Again many thanks to all for the support.:thumbup: Of cause, there is an instant mission creator implemented in DCS for those how like instant action and the feeling of fast and easy success. But this thread has also its right to exist. If somebody, doesn't like the way we feel about a DLC campaign and we have done things, he is warned and prevented from spending money and time for the campaign it's a good thing too. That's the way it is. There are always different opinions and priorities, sometimes they are unluckily articulated but that makes them either good or bad.

@Refelected Many thanks for assisting us and your congrats to the first review at helisimmer.com. @ everyone But to be honest, we tried hard to avoid boring times in the cockpit. If somebody uses the time acceleration regularly we have failed in that effort. :cry: So any constructive critic is truly welcome. For the next Campaign, we have to ponder if we implement some changes.:helpsmilie: I did not need to tell you, that we invested much more than 10 huers in mission building just because of these surrounding things. In fact, we are far beyond 50 not included all the testing. So skipping these will save us a lot of time but that's not the way we wont to do this. We are aware of the things we did differently, and we also aware of the variety of players in DCS. So even such a hard and scathing critic is important for an open discussion and fair information to everyone thinking about to buy this special and challenging campaign. So now I go into the basement crying:( Helicopter pilots never give up. Nur die harten kommen in den Garten :music_whistling:

Sorry to hear that. :( I respect your personal opinion but please be so fair and stick to the facts. Indeed it took quite a while until you take off from Batumi. A minimum of 13 minutes to be correct. But This time includes some information of what's going on, engine Startup as well as propper setting of radios and instruments. As promised it is also a dynamic environment and you are not alone at the airport. So you have to wait for good reasons. :smilewink: We already skipped the obligatory go around and preflight check from the outside of the aircraft, but our intention was to make it as realistic as possible without getting boring.:lol: Not sure if you have flown the whole mission one jet, but if you don't like this first mission as a whole you will hate the campaign. Please give the campaign a chance and try at least mission two and three. I really would like to hear your opinion after that as well. For everyone else not sure if the campaign is a challenge or just frustration, we load a Video of these 13 minutes on YouTube. This will be done until tomorrow. :pilotfly:

You shud not search at all. After picking up Scout first you ordered to fly back some 220 degrees. Then turn back to N/E which brings you direct or close to the point where picking up Scout. Stay on N/E and you get contact to caravan. Scout advise you to turn right following the river inot the valley. Then turn left crossing the river and pass the enemy in his back (red smoke) At this point, there should smoke all over. Orange at your LZ at the convoy covered with wight smoke.

I had 2 servers responding and one not on the same machine. So I deleted the one that gets no contact and installed him again. Now all 3 servers get contact with the same WebGui.

https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4031564&postcount=16 All the information is also published at the Helicopter Pilot Meeting Point DISCORD https://discord.gg/CXCA7rf Which is also the fastest way to get in contact for "possible" instant help depending on Zulu time.

For me, there is not really a difference with reduced trees, may because it's in a valley and even the bush causes the problem locks quite the same. So i would say it's worth to give him a try. :smartass:

It was Frank Robinson from Robinson Helicopters telling us Flight Instructors, that is one of his worst decisions to give Helicopter flight training to his engineers. :doh: After the training and the knowledge, what etherizing can go wrong or is just a compromise the engineers had more safety concerns and construction of new things getting more complicated. :cry: While the average helicopter pilot does not think about physics and compromises he just enjoys flying :thumbup::pilotfly:

This is a genius idea for everybody familiar with the mission editor :thumbup::pilotfly: The mission is already fixed and part of the upcoming update.

" Was confused between mission 1 and 2 :doh: Not sure whats mission 2 is all about :music_whistling:

Will check tat today

The good news is: Obvious there are some changes in the Uh-1 module concerning engine and fuel consumption. So they work on the module, And we have fixed that problem already so it's up to ED and hopefully the next Beta update. But anyway Sorry for the inconvenience. For us, it is also frustrating when after more than 100 hours testing such issues brek a complete mission.
