Hi there. Thanks for bringing this up. Couple of things. What version are you playing? The English voices or the Russian? You have to make sure that you are over 10.000 the missions are done in metric system, the trigger there it's quite simple, your plane must be over 10.000 barometric altitude, or how DCS interprets that. In tests I've never had any problems reaching and going over 10.000 to stay on the safe side. The only problem that I see is that if you are not managing your turn well and you drop your altitude during the instructed turn you will get the "Not good enough message" However, if you keep your altitude as instructed, over 10.000 shouldn't be a problem. Careful that your altimeter is not adjusted to the pressure of the day. When you are on the ground it is indicating 300 meters. Also, in transonic speeds, your altimeter and speed will have erroneous indications that you should take into consideration. To stay on the safe side maybe go over 10000 there's no limitation on how high you can go.

Holly smokes, that's a good read. Gonna put it on my Kindle

Hi guys, Yes, it is available on Steam. I believe it was a bit of a mistake when they pushed it out. Campaigns usually are released on the ED store first, then on Steam. The campaign has some pending updates already. Campaign should be released fully and officially at the next update.

That's such a good read. And also it's interesting if you read about the US pilots flying to Mig-21 and saying how it can hold its own against maneuvering planes. https://www.key.aero/sites/keyaero/files/node_forum/2010/07/15/MAKING THE BEST OF MiG-21 w.pdf

I usually post them here before they make it to the updates. But with the campaign not being fully out yet. I don't want to give too many spoilers away. I they won't push them in the update for next week I'll put it here. If you read the briefing. There are multiple tasks. first to start up from cold and be lined up for takeoff in under 3 minutes. second, to climb over 10000 and maintain until you reach Gudata WP2, the ground instructs there to turn left on 290 towards WP3, make sure that you adjust your heading according to your turn radius. I saw that differs from player to player, so, navigate towards WP3, getting there, you should get some instructions on how to proceed with your low level intercept.

I have a few fixes sent to ED for that. Just refining the triggers a little bit.

Yeah you did! I had no idea. I think someone got their wires crossed and pushed it on Steam first. Gonna run for the hills now, 'cause this is going to be tricky. The AG is quite hard if not done right.

Holy smokes. ED released it on Steam first. I don't know if it's a first or it's a mistake. Don't know if I should open the champagne or run for the hills.

What is out?

Don't forget one thing. F-5E will teach you how to fly right, how to maintain your energy, It will teach you gunnery without the air of aiming devices, It will teach you to drop dumb bombs aimed by your eyes and how consistent your bomb pass is. Guess what, when you switch to a Gen4 fighter all those lessons will give you the edge and will make the transition easier to what you like to fly. It's quite a nice plane and quite fun in MP and SP. Those bugs that exists, we all learned how to live with them.

You should, Kevin Miller is a brilliant author when it comes to aviation. All 3 books from the Raven One series are really nice and for the WWII folks I could recommend The Silver Waterfall: A Novel of the Battle of Midway. I just finished it and I'm amazed by the amount of research that went into that book and how it's all stitched together. Anyway, read the book, all the answers are there. Awesome campaign and it's hard not to enjoy it.

Concur!

Thanks a lot for this. You know, it's hard when I can't control this. But, I guess, I have to worry about the things I can control. If you guys want a sneak peak at the new trailer.... there it is:

Have you seen the text displayed when SAM's got launched towards you, and the other pilots telling you to "take it down"? You may have heard the Youtube video creator doing his rendition of radio comms.

AFAIK there are 2 Mig-21 campaigns waiting to be published. I have no updates from Norm or anyone from the ED team about a date. Sorry guys, I'm in the dark here.

Yeap, I'm working on the voiceovers now, most likely will be sent to ED next month.

Thanks for this guys, 15 mission campaign in voice over and testing, and I got scared that something bad happened.

Not that I know of. But, on the other hand, I don't have an official word just yet.

Grrrrrrrr......stupid AI. I'll have to tweak that and push an update. Thanks a lot for letting me know.

You are flying a CAP mission, your station is between WP 4 and 5. Once you are there AWACS will give you vectors to the two groups of Mig's going for the helicopters. you should engage them and shot them down, then, make it to the base. This is just a CAP mission. Hope this helps. Cheers,

As the F5 version we have was not built for instrument navigation there's not a whole lot you can do. TACAN's are getting introduced later in the campaign, as the forces are getting more supplies and the UN bases are consolidated throughout the conflict. Most of the waypoints are built around easily spotted landmarks, lakes, clearings in the forest, areas that are easy to recognize on the map on your kneeboard. F10 navigation is not bad, but if you study your flight plan and use the headings in the brief it's totally doable. If anything this should bring out more of your capabilities to navigate and increase your skills, it's more fun than chasing a caret on your HUD. Also, there's no shame in dropping a carrot on your kneeboard to get a fix on where you are. Maintaining constant heading, speed and altitude are the first thing you have to do right as a pilot.

You can always check for a status here: https://forums.eagle.ru/forum/801-sorelro/ By the news yesterday I believe it is quite soon.

Thanks a lot. Really appreciate it. You should pick the Harrier as well. As the one for the AV-8 is right now in the sound production and documentation.

Allow me to report, with all due respect. The campaign is going through the internal ED QA right now and they came back with some problems about kneeboards and so on. As you probably saw on the section. I was on R&R, sorry, a guys needs to recharge his batteries. All should be sorted in the next few days and it will be resent to the QA. Thanks for waiting for this.
