  1. Hey,

     

    I spotted some minor problems in M5 today:

    Some voice lines were off:

    - We get the picture for the mission at the holding, where he tells us that Hate 1-3 is out, and at the same time Hate 1-3 first reports that he is out

    - Jester calls good hits on the target on the way back, well after dropping the bombs

     

    Some AI issues:

    - My flight never rolls in to drop the bombs. I´m supposed to be in a 10sec trail, but they just turn to the next WP, without attacking the target

    - On the way back, we nearly collide with the F5s as we cross their way on the initial to the runway

    I honestly don’t believe they have anyone actively working on it. I think they tinker with it from time to time.

    Yes, that could be true 

    But to be fair, after spending a couple of hours again in the hook: The flight model has improved a lot since launch. At least in my opinion.

  3. My suspicion simply is that the chinook did not sell es expected and now they are kind of abandoned it.

    When the real bad EA of the Viper happend, they said they learned from it and would never again launch a module in this early state they did with the Viper. But for me, the Chinook launch was even worse! And now almost no updates in a year, but Afghanistan, Iraq, Mig 29, F 15C, F 35...

    Clearly the focus has drifted to quantity instead of quality, which is a shame...

    I bought a lot modules over the years and I always wanted to support ED, but recently I just don't think that's a good idea since I don't see that they are really taking care of their stuff.

    Maybe we are lucky now that the Viper came out of EA, but I hardly think so. So the Chinook together with Afghanistan were my last EA purchase from ED as long as I don't see any notable progress on the chinook.

  4. Im pretty sure you can fly this alone without any problems.

    I fly airliners a lot in X-plane and you can use those without any problems as well, even though they are 2-seat aircraft.

    You will have to punch your data in by yourself, but this isn't a real problem.

    So I guess this will apply to the Hercules as well

    First of all this is a pre-order. No one has access to the product until it is released. 

    The pre-order comes with a substantial 30%, so if you want to buy and get the best deal before early access starts now would be the best option. If you want to wait for other videos no problem, but the discount amount will change. 

    thank you  

    I think we all have seen more than once, that YouTubers have the modules before anyone else...

     

    At least some more videos except the trailer would be nice

  6. I was about to open a topic and ask how far the Chinook went, after the pretty disappointing release.

    Haven't flown it since the first week, and it seems, that it is still very buggy, or even worse if my mfd goes black when pushing buttons?!

    So better don't fly the Chinook at the moment?

  7. Just finished the 2nd Mission (The raid) with 3h or more.

    It is just awesome! The dialogs are excellent and the missions are really fun and engaging. I'm not using any time acceleration and I enjoy every minute of this campaign.

    The added music together with the excellent lighting in the early morning hours gives the campaign a Triple-A feeling.

    Just unbelievable how much entertainment you get for those few bucks the campaign cost.

    Excellent work!

  8. I was just trying mission 2 where I was the flight lead for the first time.

    When my push was called, the waypoint did not change, it remained on the one for the holding pattern.

    Together with this I received the uncommanded roll to the right, like others mentioned 

    I trimmed left and selected the wp myself, but my TOT was way off 

    So do I need to select the next wp myself or did I miss a trigger zone?

    Edit  I do remember that during my fence in checks the checklist got interrupted by a radio call. Could this have messed up a trigger?

  9. In the SEAD game plan there is a Typo.

    We are flight Rocket, as mentioned before, but the game plan talks about Rattler 1 for the SA-2 attack.

    And maybe not a bug, but still confusing: The times for engine start, taxi and takeoff is in local time, TOT is on Zulu time. Don't know if this is intended, but during the read I thought "wait, what? are we going in at night?"

  10. So I made it through the first mission. In the second attempt I have to admit, but I'm very happy with the outcome ...

    Except your "smokey Sam's". God knows I hate them already, and it is just M1!!!

    I used DT as my delivery mode and it worked just fine.

    As always, great work and a fantastic campaign! I know already that I will play this one several times together with the MiG Killers campaign.

    Please keep us fed with phantom stuff!
