  1. Fyi I was able to get past the show of force and manpad by flying as low as possible, like you said, twisting and turning like a madman and releasing (probably) way more flares than needed. When I was safely out of range I climbed to approx angels 18 and hit them with the remaining gbu, which let me freely strafe the two trucks going towards the downed pilot. Before strafing the trucks, I did order the wingman to attack, but he missed them by a mile. I know that gps-guided bombs are not the correct application against moving targets - maybe that's why. But I had guns available for them myself fortunately.
  2. I've had so many issues in the past with other land-based campaigns with other flight members running into me, not taxiing, not taking off, etc that I think this is a good workaround to avoid all that, and just meeting at WP1. It's reminiscent of the procedure for Case III missions from a carrier that I've seen in other campaigns, so the general idea is not totally unbelievable.
  3. Can confirm this matches my experience too.
  4. The mark of a good relationship - when you actively pretend that it's her when doing "single player"
  5. Yes, I think that's normal. I believe you can change which eye in the F-18 special options menu.
  6. Yes, this is the correct advice. But also for those of us that have an AM4 CPU, we're awaiting sim-specific benchmarks to see if it's worth $450 to upgrade from our existing hardware! (A 5600x in my case)
  7. Do we have data that shows there will be enough benefit of that CPU to justify doubling the cost of something like the 5600x?
  8. Congratulations, you've discovered one of the major shortcomings of the tech. "Hey, it's 5pm. Should I pour myself a cold one or should I strap this little monitor to my face and isolate myself from my family for the next 90 minutes?" But I'm sure ol' Zuckerberg is hard at work solving this issue as well.
  9. Throttle for attitude, stick for airspeed.
  10. I thought that having to search for the frequency was pretty cool - I don't think I've seen that before. The little things that are in the missions to further familiarity with lesser-used cockpit functions are really nice.
  11. Great campaign so far. I have some questions about mission 5: When entering coordinates of the main target from the kneeboard, I used precise coords, but they were still off (I later realized that WP4 was right on it). But then later the coords relayed to me of the A-10 were off as well and I just found him via smoke. Do I need to change the format when entering them? What is the best way to avoid manpad missiles when performing a show of force at low altitude, which makes me a great target? At which altitude am I safe from them again? After the main target, I have one GBU left which I assume I can use to take out the troops before safely going guns low on the approaching trucks. I assume these are IR missiles since I didn't get a RWR warning? I did hear my wingman call out the missile. Are manpads always heat seeking? Thanks for this campaign. You've really gone above and beyond with the immersive elements, including all the comms and the included documentation. I know I'm going to have many hours of fun ahead.
  12. They're just wearing camo and thus are really hard to see.
  13. Did you select the cargo through the comms menu, and have auto hook active? I have auto hook and auto unhook bound to hotas buttons. Hit auto hook before picking up, then auto unhook before dropping off.
  14. Aren't there a lot of impressions under the forum section for the campaign? It's a Reflected campaign so you don't have to worry about quality.
  15. I think you're in for a disappointment...
  16. Likely you have to use the Skatezilla Updater Utility
  17. From what I am reading, yes
  18. Good sentiments. Which methods are people using to find the 331 and 302 corridors when visibility is low? (Especially since the map function doesn't seem to work on the HSI on the Hornet in Syria) I can use the TACAN and enter the appropriate course line so that I intercept the Falcon and Eagle points just fine, but if there's cloud between me and the ground it's kind of hard to find where the corridors are before that. I think in mission 3 I overflew one of the restricted areas and thus didn't receive a 100 score. If it's complete VFR conditions it's not an issue, obviously, but otherwise I may have to tolerate some negative comments from ATC or a less-than-perfect score at the end
  19. Sounds like a good way to create Nausea Simulator VR!
  20. I've completed two missions so far. It seems that Cerberus is among the top-tier of single player content in DCS. The voice acting so far is not an issue. (I have read that others have problems with the volume of the speakers, but I haven't had that issue. May just be my particular settings. Also the text shows as they're speaking and the messages history that ED implemented helps too) I had to do the second mission twice (mistakes I made) and the wingman had different lines of dialogue depending on how successful I was with the mission plan. Good stuff. In a lot of the other campaigns, if you stray from the scripted scenario or fail one objective, the rest of the mission is silent.
  21. Makes sense. Will we have to input bullseye coordinates each time?
  22. From the store page: Requires DCS World version 2.7.11 or above!
  23. The documentation states that it is available but not required. Some missions are broken into multiple parts so that you can quit and start after the AAR sequence.
  24. I'm on this mission currently. (I am repeating it because I need to practice my CCIP skills because I'm falling a little short. Also, are these bombs supposed to explode or are they training bombs? I have the fuses set but I just get a little poof) Anyway, back to your question, the canyon run is a lot of fun. I got good remarks from Poodle. If you turn on Auto for the waypoint sequence on the HSI, it shows a dotted line to follow. Just put it at 5 mile scale and use that on the left or right display instead of trying to visually follow each curve of the river, which will not be possible at 400 knots. Btw, I can tell this campaign is going to be amazing.
  25. It doesn't seem like this campaign has been released yet?
