Added F/A-18C vs F/A-18C version.

This is faint try to replicate working ACMI pods in constrains of DCS. Instead firing live weapons you just fire simulated rounds and results are processed at Range Control mainframe. Just two teams and dogfight circle heavily inspired by first Top Gun movie. DCS F-14 or free A-4E mod or F/A-18C or F-5E-3 or F-15C required to fly.

Yep some ground units changing position from random positions pool. ["POSSIBLE_POSITIONS"] = {"ABK GRND POS 1", "ABK GRND POS 2", "ABK GRND POS 3", "ABK GRND POS 4", "ABK GRND POS 5", "ABK GRND POS 6", "ABK GRND POS 7", "ABK GRND POS 8", "ABK GRND POS 9", "ABK GRND POS 10"},

Hehe I see. Viggen would fit blue side well ;)

Yes if you do not rename client group then you just need change airframe type in template mission and save. But campaign will be very easy in F-14 :)

Dunno if it is still relevant but after todays hotfix I got seat in front of me during Ejection sequence. This is my first person view in VR during ejection.

There is strange shaded area when viewing outside of pit on the nose. Looks like it is caused by different shading of bort numbers quads.

As you renamed skins - what is very bad move IMHO as it make skins set in missions wrong, at least please select right skins in missions that are shipped with module. Instead russian one I got this buggy one. Just start for example Instant Action -> Caucasus Cold Start.

Just template one and I think you need put updated OOB.lua into loader mission as well. basically everywhere it is. I am using Total Commader for this. It opens mission files as folders - they are zip files in reality.

@Lexe, glad you like it. @solidGlad, should be no problem. Just don't forget update client group names in oob.lua in missions that have that file in. Otherwise it will not count player lost airframes towards total side loses. PLAYER_GROUP_NAMES = { "MiG-21Bis/Flight 1 RU", "MiG-21Bis/Flight 2 RU", "MiG-21Bis/Flight 3 RU w/AI", "MiG-21Bis/Flight 4 RU w/AI Rockets", "MiG-21Bis/Flight 5 RU w/AI Bombs", "MiG-21Bis/Flight 6 RU Rockets", "MiG-21Bis/Flight 7 RU Bombs", "Ka-50/Flight 1 RU", "Ka-50/Flight 2 RU w/AI", "F-5E-3/Flight 1 TR", "F-5E-3/Flight 2 TR", "F-5E-3/Flight 3 TR w/AI", "F-5E-3/Flight 4 TR w/AI Rockets", "F-5E-3/Flight 5 TR w/AI Bombs", "F-5E-3/Flight 6 TR Rockets", "F-5E-3/Flight 7 TR Bombs", "SA342M/Flight 1 GRG", "SA342M/Flight 2 GRG w/AI", }

Nice progress in new 3Dpit. Please do not forget about pilot visor down representation in VR. It is still only 2D screen overlay floating in front of you. As Mirage 2000 have this fixed it is solvable.

Very interesting concept. Thanks for missions!

Updated for new MiG-21 skins after external model update in latest open beta patch.

No idea, never got it beside I introduced UTF into lua accidentally.

Working on fix for changed Mig-21 skins after latest patch.

Please at least make it optional. For some VR uses it is very distracting when you hit cockpit limits it will start walk with your head. Very uncomfortable for some. I found I myself somehow naturaly keep my head automatically inside cockpit limits.

Not really if you followed instructions. Never had any DCS crash from this campaign even when setup was wrong. What is in dcs.log ? c:\Users\<user>\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Logs\ One thing, maybe you porked lua files when modified them. I think DCS doesn't like UTF marks in lua and if editor you used add them then bang. Never use windows notepad. Use something like Notepad++.

Yeah that's beauty of time persistence in this campaign :) Just check starting mission time in briefing page. Everytime you quit mission and later restart it resumes from time you left it. Stages basically last 240 minutes with 3 stages per day. Night ops are not in this version as Mig-21 and F-5 aren't suited very well for night ops. Three stages starts every day at 6:30, 11:30 and 16:30 and last 240 minutes. Everytime you end third stage in the day, date will advance to next day and you will start with first stage in the day at 6:30. This campaign is limited to 12 stages max so you have 4 days to fulfil your objectives. Hope it is clear. Later I plan write guide how to create your own campaign with this little "engine". All is defined in mission template and in oob.lua. That's all.

Try fly cap along Georgia/Abkhazia border along the river (Look at briefing map image where is red FEBA - Forward Edge of Battle Area) and do not enter enemy side of river too deep. Try penetrate border for while but close enough to be outside enemy SAMs and try lure MiGs over you side where your SAMs and AI CAPs will help you.

There is slots with AI. See slot names.

Yeah same here, it is working now.

Something is broken in routing route. Friend with UPC provider here in CZ but different place has no problems with it. Attached mine bad and his ok trace. Contacted UPC provider whats going on.

Looks like it gets rejected somewhere on the way
