I'm commenting just as a place holder for now as i can't seem to find how to save this thread.

I hit the factory smack in the middle!

Okay sounds good, so which mission number is it? Tad

Hello all I really got into the V for Victory campaign and I'd like to revisit a mission where in the dark of night the task is to fly bomb run arc with the use of audible tones broadcast from the UK mainland. The final segment of the run in is straight and level flight on a heading at a predetermined altitude and airspeed and drop at 40 or so seconds. I have been looking through the Docs folder in the campaign files and cannot find the mission briefing for this mission I remember. I distinctly saw a very lengthy arc for the bombing path to fly on the map. I suppose maybe the mission was omitted from further verions of the campaign, anyways I'm just checking to find out what the status is on that. thanks for reading, and Mr. Reflected, thanks for your remarkable work in producing numerous detailed campaigns for various airframes. Tad

I want to see my logbook on digitalcombatsimulator.com in a tab on my profile page please. Today i told someone i have 500 hours in the sim and i want to be able to verify it w/o necessarily having to log in to DCS on my rig. Thanks for reading.

Hello, I'm thrilled about the arrival of Part 2 Weasels Over Syria. I played mission 1 and recorded some highlights in the video link below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yUy0cjJlops I scored 99 because I managed a gun kill on the secondary SA-6 s/tr unit after wasting one HARM on the SA6 to the east that fired on me at WPT7 and missing the SA6 at the Sayrat airbase. On approach to Akrotiri I thought I maintained FL06 along the 14nm arc and at the STAR point but I may have dropped below the correct glidepath costing me 1 point. Altogether I'm happy with my result, I tanked with ARCO before passing Waypoint 4 on the egress and took on about 3,200 lbs of fuel from state 2.9 My final fuel state was 3.4 so I would not have been able to complete the approach correctly if I hadn't tanked. All in all I had a lot of fun in Mission 1, and this campaign is shaping up to be just as immersive as FIWOS was.

InDCS I can only do an exaggerated barrell roll like that when I'm fast and straight and level, never right after a slow speed high AOA turn.

yeah that update frequency is a bit of a damper on improved campaigns. And to guard your intellectual property you can't just share a google drive file can you? It's okay, I'm sure the updates will be worth the wait. I sped through the replay of my saved track of mission 9 and took control just before WPT5, set my ripple interval to 55 shoes and that did the trick. I was then able to tank, and engage 3 migs, luckily I switched the difficulty down to trained so I would have a chance because I suck at air combat. To top it off I trapped the case 3 approach on my first try. fun missions!

Okay, so it's good to know I could complete the mission if I set my bomb interval to much closer than 888 feet like I did. Because here is video evidence I placed all four bombs on the runway in a crosswind! (My fourth bomb was still on the rack when the first exploded) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wtdAzwdAikE

I did not change the enemy difficulty level on the mission. Thanks.

Hello, I'm attaching a track of my run through of mission 4. Two issues I encountered was when Matrix finished the gun run he seems to have slammed into the ground near the dam. I also boltered on my first landing attempt and the mission triggered as if I had stopped on the deck and was mission complete. Thanks for reading. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hwjf-vMbM33gIx4V1HuCGLSd34knGrvm/view?usp=sharing https://youtu.be/A5yfde58wt8?si=7H-j8cEM_fxX5nhj skip to 30:15 and 49:50 for details

And I don't mean to be nitpicky. I realize you content developers are constantly battling performance issues, and thanks for the effort because the campaigns really add a depth of immersion to the Sim. I really was just looking for an excuse to link my highlights video

The explosion plume would go up while the GBU was just about to impact. Is desync in single player a possibility?

our flight's bombs exploded early https://youtu.be/wfpFBCwbr2Q?si=1KX9kiC17ekb6cHF

I exited out of the Date after completing the Final, and the mission list sent me back to the Friend. So I skipped the Friend and then skipped the Final and was then able to see the End Credits mission which I watched. Nice sunset. Awesome campaign Cyking! Nice OpSec by changing Mina's name to Nina. No one will ever guess her real name! Again thanks for a really awesome campaign, with awesome optional music to listen to over the NAV radio of all things. And the choice of the final mission was a particularly nice touch.

I noticed that Springfield 1-1 kept flying the heading after reporting the engine overheat issue and then they just disappeared. Maybe you wanna check the code on it to make it fly to the divert helipad for realism or maybe just my game is buggy

I'm headaching over this too, I thought I set down gently enough to land on the containers, but I got bucked around and the skids broke. I wonder if the best way to try to land is with the same heading as the ship, or perpendicular to it. The rain made it really difficult to percieve motion and position. So definitely I have met my match as a virtual pilot.

And an AI chat bot told me this is a really unrealistic practice and a real pilot would never lower the collective to zero in-flight. So I'm committing virtual helicopter heresy with thar technique but I appreciate if you can adjust the triggers for my gaming style. Maybe with velocity, agl altitude, and collective percentage conditions I followed your advice and shut down my helicopter after landing on the Castle Leeds following contact with the armed speedboats. The mission then ended in success.

So when I descend and circle around to land I usually lower my collective to zero and pitch up and just let the momentum carry me down and bleed airspeed, combined with my player being near the ship that must've set off the trigger Yes, in my playthrough the castle leeds did fire at the speedboats and destroyed them.

Hello again. I had a peculiar experience with mission 4 tonight. The first time I approached the Castle Leeds the trigger fired for having landed on the ship to pick up the specialist before I had a chance to land. Here is a video of it inlcuding the known issue with the end of mission trigger. Out of curiousity I took off from Castle Leeds again and examined the target ship, There were UNIFIL crewmen aboard, I didn't find out they were going to board the ship at any point, so that was a surprise. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbk3JsWpRsc

I responded to your inquiry on YouTube, and I did some testing. I use VR and no setting I chose had any affect on the size or format of your Quest Message. The size did change however in the 2D monitor image, but not the format (in the mission 3 beginning) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSEJogc_Kgc For me though It doesn't bother me how the Quest Messages appear, I've completed mission 3 tonight and all messages read just fine.

For reference here is a link to some video highlights from my playthrough of mission 1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7be_m05RTIQ

Hello, I'm just starting the campaign. Mission 1 the triggers are working fine and the music on 122.50 NAV VHF is really cool. I tried tuning into the Navy ship on 440 KHz ADF and the Morse Code was not what was written on the kneeboard comms page, and the compass needle did not track to the ship ( I encounter this problem often in the Huey and I don't know why). I also tuned the ADF to 410 KHz and the compass needle did track to the city of Tyre but the morse code signal reads -.. .. .--. ( D I P ) instead of ( T Y E ) . Anyway, at least I am tracking towards Tyre now, whether or not the morse code signal matches isn't really going to get me lost at this point. The morse signal was correct for the VHF FM ADF at Naquora spelling ( N A Q ). Fascinating how the Ship smoke stack is emitting smoke! Did you manage that with a white smoke marker placed on a moving zone? It gave accurate wind direction indication which was really neat.

By the way, my favorite missions from the Spring 2025 campaign were the one where I go up the canyon to inspect bridges (that taught me how to takeoff while heavy and in thinner air)(Essentially head downhill and into the wind as much as possible through any available clearing to get airspeed and some lift). That and the sling load mission across the river. I will check from time to time for more of your content.
