Finished the campaign and loved it. That last mission..wow it put everything i'd learned to the test! When i finally managed to find the meeting place in the dark and get a point track on the vehicle, i felt like a total badass :D

Youre right- after he says target not destroyed, he shifts and paints next target. All went well there. But then after that when enemy armour is advancing on Axeman, i started to loop about to go help them but was told i failed as they were not protected. But that was less than 20 seconds after getting the radio message for help
NVM. Worked perfectly the next time :)

As promised I flew mission 8. All went well both buildings destroyed but there were some strange responses as had indicated in the mission brief.
I came in from the south west set up nine line with JTAC. All good cleared in hot. After impact JTAC says "shift". Nothing suitable in the JTAC radio menu for response so turned uncaged second missile and as suggested by "shift" he is lazing second target so fire second missile. Hit second target. He then says "Abort Abort Abort" then pauses and says " no further targets etc" and your on your way in the mission.
Not sure why it does this but think it started after an update. I will play around with things to see if I can stop the strange responses but it may be a bug.
You should however be able to proceed with both buildings destroyed as I did.

Played Serpents head campaign and really liked it so i bought this campaign. I like it aswell but its abit frustrating in mission 3 (i think it is)
For me its abit like one target to many. I run out of ammo 3 times now and get the houses down to 60/70%. Tried it again and now i got shoot down by the manpad lol tried to preserve ammo. I dont mind failing and retry but since its a long mission and ive spent 4 hours today.
Well i guess i need a break and get to it tomorrow again
Had the same issue. Just cant destroy those houses with the cannon. Both are always on about 20% health

Having an issue with mission...8? The snake trap one. When i arrived on station and contacted Axeman, he lased the target , but when i said " In from the South" he said Abort Abort...Not sure why. Second time the missile blew up something but he said target not destroyed.

Hey BD, cant WAIT for this! Love the books, love the VO actors you have lined up.
Reading back over this thread i saw a lot of discussion about including AAR or not. Maybe a compromise is doable?
In the newly released "The Serpents Head 2" campaign for the Hornet, there is an option to play missions with simplified AAR-meaning you just need to make contact with the basket, rather than maintain contact. That might make thing easier for newer pilots in your campaign?
Either way , really excited for the chance to fly with Flip, Olive ,Psycho and ...Saint i supose ;)
Quoth the Raven!

When i went back in to the campaign, it moved me onto the next mission :) I must have just missed the ending message or something

It could be that you spent too long on the carrier. You could have got the final message too early and didn't notice it. The instruction to take off is about one and a half minutes into the mission. If you are still on the carrier stopped at the eight and half minute point then this could cause the issue whilst you are changing the load out? Try going when you get the clearance. I have noted your comment and will amend the mission to account for this type of delay. Other than that I am not sure what it could be as others are completing without a problem including myself.
Thanks for your comments they are appreciated. I can use them to fine tune things to account for how others fly the mission.
That may be the issue....I went out for a smoke while it was rearming so i was sat on the boat for ages :D
-
They should just get the hell out which would give the player a good chase :D.
)
Actually, thats a good idea. Have the frogfoots turn tail and sprint for the border, or for SAM cover or something at low level. You as the player have to chase them down and gun them from their 6 before they make it to safety
-
OK.
1 When you killed both aircraft did you get a message saying "that's both of them."
2 When you landed at the Stennis did you get a welcome back message and further messages from the boat saying that the mission was complete.
I got the message saying "thats both of them" and was told to head back to the carrier/tanker if neccesary. Went straight to the carrier, but got no welcome back message. I'll try it again tonight. Was just a bit frustrated as i had failed 3 times previously. Usually due to crossing the southern line or running out of gun ammo. Ended up cheating a little and rearming at the beginning to take 2 AIM9X with me :D :D Could that have caused the issue maybe?
-
Which campaign are you using the normal or easy Air 2 Air version?
Easy A2A
-
I shot down both of them, but when i landed back on the boat the mission wont end..And so i cant progress. Done it 3 times now.

Thanks. Should i log a support ticket or just wait it out? When does the preorder deal end do you know?
-
Are hornet owners meant to get a discount?I transfered my licences from steam to standalone today, and i am being offered the carrier for 34.99 , down from 49.99 (30% discount) I though that was a preorder discount and there is another 10 or 15% off for hornet owners? Or was i mistaken?
I have it in my basket, but i think i should have an extra discount right?
-
Started the campaign. Agree with the other post-its nice actually being able to see at night. Enjoyed the first mission. Thanks!
Could you do similar on the PG map by any chance?
-
I sympathize with Flarpt. I love DCS as well and have many hours playing the game.... but I'm frustrated with the lack of progress on unfinished modules only to see more unfinished modules being rolled out. Count me as one who is not buying any more modules until there's more progress on the ones that are in perpetual "Beta".
Sorry DCS, just voicing my opinion.
Agreed. The jets and maps are beautiful...But we've nothing to do in them. We need more campaigns, missions, dynamic campaigns. AS well as software optimisation/improvments

These 2 gems are great shortish A/G missions.
The first is nuts. Landing in the desert to meet French SOF, then going to bomb structures. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3300709/
The other is an incursion strike on a nuclear facility https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3300709/

Now THAT is how you do a tutorial! Amazing job.
-
My AI wingman is always calling bingo when we are barely arriving on station. Its getting silly now seeing him flying on AB all the time
-
Day i found that seat adjustment switch in the hornet i was SO happy! Could not get my trackIR lined up without changing the seat height :D
-
The AH-1 is cancelled right? Or at least "postponed indefinitely"
-
This really needs addressing. DCS is a very complex thing. Most of us are by no means fully competent fliers, and as such we tend to...die a lot :D
Having to then restart a mission that could be several hours long is awful. Means i tend to never finish a lot of stuff
-
We need this. Spent so long trying to find a target i could see with my eyes while using the pod. Its really frustrating.

That was great-awesome to hear Kevin miller on the podcast. Re-listening to Raven One now, so i am ready when this drops. You worried about it potentially coming out the same week as ...a very big flight sim game i can't name?
