I'll have a look. The wingman has to die there. Are you returning to base? Is the whole group destroyed? Now, after the last update a lot of things got broken. Some of them fixable some of them will have to wait for an update from ED. I'll have a look and I will let you know.

If the AI would operate as intended and not switch the way they think every update DCS would be a very happy world, in the first tests on that mission. the explosion was delayed a little bit, but that didn't brought the effect needed. I wonder if something changed with the shockwave, I have a feeling ED is working on changing the way the bombs and explosions are working, so something might have been added to that effect. I'll try to test it and see if I can bring a bit more tweaking to that mission. My intention was to have a fast low pass that would take care of that airfield, so the player doesn't have to stick around in such a hot environment. Thanks for the feedback, there's always room for improvement.

I know how that feels. Building campaigns, troubleshooting and also still finding time to enjoy DCS..... It's quite complicated.

I'm planning to re-do this whole campaign when the F-4 will be launched, , and of course, placing the F-4 in the same scenario. You are totally right when you are saying about the briefings, and the latest campaign has Intel photos when needed. Cheers, Sorel

SAM behavior, changed lately, you are right, the same with the F-4 AI. I'll review this one soon and push an update if needed.

They are full of ammo, so yes, there are secondaries. Did they kill you or just gave you a scare and blew some panels off?

grrrr.... sorry folks. I send an update for the missions 4 and 5. I'll get to 3 as well.

You know, when these missions are shipped for publishing they are working, objectives, AI doing what they supposed to be doing and all that. Now, usually, from the moment a campaign is tested and okayed and shipped to ED, and the moment the campaign is published it takes somewhere between 3 to 6 months to be available for download. Why is that? Beats me! It is humanely impossible for the campaign devs to test it with each update and with different ways the players are going through them. Some are very precise, some are not. As soon as I know about a bug I act on it and provide a fix as soon as I can, there are already 3 missions that are updated/fixed that are submitted to ED right now. 1 2 and 10. I will look at mission 4 and see what is the reason is not progressing to 100 and I will provide an update as soon as possible. If you are not aware, if I see a mission that's completely broken I make sure that the updates are available ahead of time and let the players have that mission before ED is updating it. Thanks for bringing that error up. I will test it and come up with an answer as soon as possible. As for how enjoyable it is, it's a matter of taste. Some people really enjoy it, some maybe not. Some people are vocal about it some aren't. If saying your peace makes you feel better kuddos to you man. Clear skies and happy flying.

Actually, this is a bug in DCS. it has a weird cache system, so, if the kneeboard files have the same name it will present the cached version from the previous mission.

These ae fixed and submitted to ED. Should be part of the next update. Cheers,

Sorry you feel this way, there are plenty of people that are going through these missions and seem to enjoy it and they are successful at it. In many cases we have to work with the constraints of DCS when it comes to assets, AI and such. These missions have been tested by seasoned players and by some players with some experience in combat operations and I have never received feedback like this. Once again, sorry you feel this way. Cheers,

You guys know that you can skip the mission from the campaign screen, right?

I have tested the mission and I was able to get a passing score. Any chance you can take a track or tacview?

Active runways behavior changed at a previous update. I'm updating the winds on the missions to force the runway on the old heading. One of those bug things that keep on creeping up. I should have them all updated soon, hopefully before the next update.

What version are you flying? The russian voices or the english? I'll ran a test later on tonight. Cheers,

The fixes are included in the DCS updates and they are listed in the updates changelog. I'll post it here as well when that happens. If you want you can skip that mission and continue with the campaign. Since you are doing everything right it's not a problem skipping it.

What happens if you go a bit higher?

I ran this mission couple of times. Indeed there are some problems. One time out of 3 the chopper didn't land where it should be. Also it looks like the AH-1's are behaving abnormal. I'll come with a fix soon. Thanks for reporting this.

This never happened to me. How much time you spent chasing those boats? I wonder how much fuel those Tomcats are taking from the Tanker, if they both get a full load, they may leave the tank dry. I'll look and see if I can instruct the Tomcat boys to leave some fuel for you. Thanks a lot!

That is such a fun mission. There are couple of things you have to make sure you do. Flight integrity until you climb and go for the bombers. Order your flight to cover you. They will take the Mig-23's or at least slow them down. Focus on the bombers and kill them quick. Use the 'Winders from the ideal position and don't get scared when you get close to the bombers, they shoot back, don't hang out and fight with the Mig-23's, take the bombers down, go low and bug out.

Not a bad idea, making them is fun, supporting them it's just a tad more complicated.

Just imagine how easy it is for the campaign creators to try to find the right balance.

What mission you find it difficult? Keep in mind that AI behavior changed a lot in the last 12 months or so, maybe some things are not properly balanced.

The thing is, I've heard so many users saying that they are skipping the first 2 3 missions in campaigns, exactly because of that. And, little do you know, that's a slow start.

Some other folks are flying though it.
