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.

Thanks a lot for the kind words. If the heli lands that should be it. I'll run a test today. During testing, I had one instance where the heli behaved erratically and didn't land where it should and messed up the score. I'll test it today and let you know and if there's anything messed up i'll come up with a fix.

This is fixed and an update will be submitted to ED.

WX is weather http://dixwx.com/abbreviations.htm TOLD is take off and landing data. Some of these values are extracted by the app I'm using to generate kneeboards and briefings. As far as I know they are accurate, but they are not double checked.

It's the AI that doesn't work as they should. Sorry about this. the two convoys are the ones close together. I'll put some "magic" to enhance the damage you do when you hit that convoy.

I'll have to add a "knock it off message" when you fly over the friendly units on a bombing run. It may take a bit to figure out that logic and to add the voice and the message!

Thanks for bringing this up. That's one of the problems that's hard to tackle. A mission is created, and several releases later the AI pathfinding behaves in a different way. Those units shouldn't go on the other side of the runway, it looks like now they are pathfinding differently. I'll check this one and see what I can do to fix it. Thanks for letting me know. once I check it and fix it I'll send an update to ED and i'll have the updated mission available for your guys.

Sorry about that, I'll run through them one more time as I'm testing them.

There's a ton of AI bugs or not going as supposed to. I'm starting to go mission by mission and validating that they are acting that they should.

Hi guys, I ran a test on this one. The flight of 4 doesn't have a ton of success with the LMAV's, so, after you radio them to "Primary and rejoin" you hear the guys going on it, but not a whole lot is happening, so, that means that due to AI, you have to take 6 to 8 more targets, if you keep telling them to "Primary and rejoin" they are more successful with bomb runs and guns. The mission is doable even in this state, there's a moon up and the sun is coming up, there's enough light for the TPOD, and it can help during the gun runs, you should hear the pilot saying that you got all of them and to check the secondary target and WP4 if you have enough ammo, since you are almost Winchester that's not the case and you can go home or end the mission. The score is 100 at that point.

I'll test this guys, unfortunately, as I was saying. I'm not in front of.my computer for the next 3 days or so. As soon as I'm back I'll have a look. I have a feeling that some AI is not working as expected. Your flight should be a flight of 4 not two. And when I tested this, and when the testers went through the missions, it was quite cool to fly with an element of 4 blasting those launchers and trucks.

It's DCS AI. Testing is required.

I'll check, it shouldn't be like this, they should fly at 240 250.

Yes, the whole group has to he destroyed. Quite easy to do with a flight of 4. AI is actually engaging that group. You should get a radio message when you are done. If there are any problems I'll check, sometimes things change after updates. Unfortunately, this campaign was launched as I was flying out, away from my gaming rig. I should be back at it at the end of this week and I can test stuff.

I'll check, I may have put it wrong in the briefing. Unfortunately I'm away from my home for the next 10 days or so. This campaign was launched when I was flying out. Timing sucks sometimes.

I'm sure it won't be long. It's something that I can't control. But I'm assuming that everyone was hands down working on the Apache.

It depends if Apache is getting launched or not. From what I have noticed in the past. Updates containing new ED modules don't have 3rd party campaigns, for some strange reasons.

Unfortunately it's AI. AI behaves differently on the Stennis, getting stuck more often than on the SC. I was contemplating to have two versions but it becomes impossible to test after each update, then having to fix things in different ways. You will operate in a task force, there is a need for F-14's and F-18's to cover your back. I can magically make them appear as needed but it breaks immersion, especially on some missions when you take off from Tarawa and you get to see the launch from the SC, during night operations, as you clean your aircraft. I understand that I may loose some customers, but, it is what it is. It's not like I'm doing this go get rich or something like this.
