Just bought it. I actually have now bought in last 3 months alot of mods, after year of fc3 aircrafts. F/A-18C, Persian Map, Supercarrier mod and just bought also The Rise of Persian Lion ("1") and Combined Arms.. It is very nice that ED now sells those like -70% was couple of days in steam etc. It is kinda logical when some ppl have played DCS since launch. OFC for them collecting mods year by year, while playing DCS, but when I started year ago, I had already desided to aim for Hornet trough FC3 aircrafts (Basically just because hornet is in use in my homeland, Finland, and wanted the most multirole one..) But then soon I started to notice that "shiit I need like new map, supercarrier mod, combined arms, the plane itself, just to play with couple of friend´s missions .. Gets pricy bought once. So now its nice for ED to lower prices , it helps A LOT new players like me, who still wants to play DCS with dedication. (I have army background so want to do things "my way". Well now I got those. Next is time to get track IR from post office (ooh yes i have played YEAR, all FC3 planes campaigns, and goddam lot of other campaigns, mostly SP, some MP. Then time to buy also a new HOTAS, as I play with ORIGINAL first version of saitek x45. Its literally 20 years or something old. But still works. It is just about to break thoug, and ofc theres "clap" in controls, and as i mentioned, have to use huge deadzones. Buttons actually in saitek x45 is nice collection, but they are crappy and "plastic like" as hell. Think I first buy some cheaper new hotas, before going into virpil / wingwing stuff. Many players, including Growling Sidewinder etc. have said that one should buy TM 16000m, which is yes cheap and plastic like also, but the mechanics in the stick is same that in TM warthog (just the bottom of the stick, thoug put in plastic cover. Or that atleast is what i have read and heard. It felt nice as warthog when tested it in store. Pedals are crappy and small, but still the whole pack is here in finland like 199 euros (~180 dollars) (HOTAS + pedals). Still it would be a HUGE upgrade to flying and controls itself. Atleast what comes to accuracy. And it is kinda clear ofc when they are 20 years newer. I just need to tune the TM 16000m ´s throttle, and put real roller bearings to the rails it is movin on. Thanks alot for tips. As I said I´m kinda new to DCS, and every social contact in here matters. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Wiggo The last campaign in the series of four, which has not long been released, is 'Rise of the Persian Lion II'. This the follow on from the 'Rise of the Persian lion'. This continues the story with additional characters and also increases complexity of the missions so you are more involved with the radios etc. Will be doing more but each one takes about a year to make and each has to be maintained on a regular basis as ED updates are released.

Badger 633 Since almost played the persian lion, you bet i will buy the #2 also These campaigns are good for my skill lvl. It is nice that there is a lot of AG content. One can shoot AMRAAMS with F-15C enough in one year... ^__^ dogfighting / BVR skills ofc different thing, but i think AG stuff makes you really USE the F/A-18´s systems.

grimnir Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Hi and thanks for a great campaign, but I'm having trouble with mission 5 (the one where you should drop some JSOW's). I manage to launch the JSOW's and I track them with the F6 view, I can see them hit... but then nothing. I have tried both PP and TOO modes. Have tried several times now, but seems like the missiles are just duds!? What am I doing wrong? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hispanicgamer Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 I just completed ROPL2 and wanted to say thank you for another great campaign! You really turned it up on this one. The part two mission was my toughest challenge but the game also let me know that I need to work on my ACM. I hope you've got another one in the works because I would definitely buy it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
