Hey Ralph, This will take you through a variety of scenarios. AA Interceptions and CAP, there are quite a lot of CAP missions taking you through various scenarios, depending on the ground situation. You will have AG missions as well. WildWeasel, done the hard way, bombs and rockets and guns. IronHand missions. Suppression of AA and IR threats. You will have to be involved in SAR missions and provide CAP/CAS. Just take it one mission at a a time. The missions are doable by a good pilot with good SA skills. In this campaign you will work a lot with F-4's. F-4's have a longer reach than you so keep that in mind. Cheers,

Thanks a lot man. It's nice to hear that you enjoy it so far. It might get a tad more complicated later on. :) This one is going to be on the house. Every module should have a freebie in my opinion. My big plan is to have a counter part set of missions on the Red side with Mig-21. The campaign is kind of built around that. If that goes well maybe i'll put it with ED and see if i can sell it as a 2 in 1. F5-E vs Mig-21. Cheers,

I never tried this in MP. But i'm glad it works okay. You guys went through all the missions in it? Cheers, Sorel

It's the same text as in the briefing and the same information as you have on your kneeboard.

Check under "My Campaigns". It should show there.

Hey Ralphk, No voiceovers for now on this one. And I don't think that TACAN navigation would have been available in this scenario. Late 70's in a foreign country I'm assuming that the Nav would have been done similar to Vietnam. A lot of compass and clock and ground references.

This one is on the house. I do accept bribes in beers and scotch. :D

What do you do with all that dead time after Eng1 is up and the ground tech applying the air to Eng2? That's the moment for me where I bring the brakes up, set-up the flaps and the dampers.

Use the supplied loadout. The grunts on the ground will take a pounding from the Blue forces eventually. If you have time to loiter eventually the AI decides to do it.

Hey Scotch75. I'm glad you enjoy it so far. I'm working through the last tweaks and briefings of the whole 25 mission campaign. On the 4th mission both of the Mi8 groups that carry troops have to be 100% destroyed. The mission has 3 Mi8 groups. Two groups are slick and will deploy grunts and one for CAS. Your main focus should be the slicks and destroying that and landing safely at the base will bring the mission score to 100. I hope you will go for the final thing as well. Cheers,

The Hawk should not be compared with any other modules. We should not talk about the Hawk. :D

I'm aiming to make this (https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=204064) available to everyone by the end of this year. All 25 missions are done. I'm just cleaning it up, adding some "fluff" to it and making the briefings. I tried to put pretty much everything in there. CAS, CAP, IronHand and so on. It is anchored around a lot of ground units moving on the ground and so on.

Hello folks, So this is at mission 23 and there are 2 more to go. I'll need some testers if anyone has the time to go through them. At this moment there is no voice-over and the missions will come just with text. If anyone is willing to test the whole campaign before I push it out just let me know and you can have an early copy. Cheers,

Quick update on this one. Although i don't know if anyone played the original missions so i don't know if there's a desire to keep going I kept working on this thing. I pulled a "2 weeks for sure" moment and kept quiet for 4 months or so. I'm at 50% building the missions, and run into interesting challenges when it comes to AI and doing what AI is expecting to do. More to come later.

Istari6, give it a try when you have a moment. The first 6 missions are already available for download in the Mission and Campaigns section of the forum. https://forums.eagle.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=179895&d=1519575416

Thanks a lot for the advice. That's the plan for now. I want to get some feedback. I have a good idea where there should be more effort put into it to make this appealing. I have the time-line and the story already put down so now it is just about the grunt work. Help is always nice to have if there are any takers.

There's still a lot of work to do until it will be a proper campaign. :)

Re-post from the Campaign Forum Section. This is a 6-mission single player story driven campaign on the Caucasus map for F5-E. At this moment, it is still work in progress. This is done and tested in DCS 2.5 . The final version should have voice over and better briefings. The full campaign will be a 25-mission campaign. This campaign will test your A2A A2G skills and will try to cover a variety of missions in the late 70’s. Feedback and criticism is more than welcome as long as we keep it civil. J I tried to put a set-list that will be close to the late 70’s history but I had to work with the DCS constraints. As always, make sure you follow your waypoints and instructions. In the first 6 missions no F10 interactions are necessary. BLACK SEA RESOLVE '79 April 25th 1978 the USSR Chairman Leonid Brezhnev fails sick and relinquishes the control of the Communist Party.
