jfri Posted December 1, 2020 Posted December 1, 2020 I would like to know a thing about the payware campaign for the Sabre. Does it work like the payware campaigns for the WW2 campaigns ? And by that I mean can you proceed to the next mission even if you have not succeeded in the objectives for the current mission ? Or is it like the free BF109 campaign where you for example must hit a certain number of targets with bombs in order to proceed to the next step in the campaign. Which for me resulted in being stuck in that campaign. I don't want this to happen in the F86 campaign
wowbagger Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) There are two: The Museum Relic and F-86F Hunters over the Yalu If you are referring to Hunters over the Yalu, check out the info thread - Quote "These are no “Hollywood” style missions. No need to shoot down x number of enemy planes or destroy pre-defined targets to progress. Just like in real life, it will suffice to survive the mission and live to fight another day. Therefore, there is a timer set for each sortie, and after 10 minutes airborne they will be successfully completed." I just started the campaign last week, so far it's great. It has a ton of atmosphere and so far seems straightforward without being boring/repetitive. It is well crafted with lots of little extras beyond fly there, shoot that which make it totally come alive. The creator is very active - constantly updating and improving his campaigns - and extremely responsive to questions and problems. I fully recommend grabbing it and enjoying some Korean War action. The Museum Relic is also quite good. It takes an imaginative approach to flying the Sabre/Mig-15 in a modern setting. It has a wide variety of missions. It has been a long while since I played that campaign (using the Mig) but if I recall accurately, you needed to fulfill the mission objectives to progress in the campaign. I could be wrong about that. Edited December 2, 2020 by wowbagger 1 no sig
Reflected Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) A sidenote: I updated my missions a few months ago. You can progress to the next mission if you spend at least 10 minutes airborne, and you finish the mission alive, over friendly territory. If you land or bail out over North Korea, you're going to have a bad day My Bf109 campaign works the same way, so I assume you weren't talking about Jagdflieger?

I could be wrong about that. I was thinking about Hunters over the Yalu. But a question comes to my mind DCS has no Korea map. I had forgotten about the Museum relic which as I understand it is not a military campaign.
wowbagger Posted December 2, 2020 Posted December 2, 2020 (edited) The Caucasus map acts as a stand in for the Korean peninsula. I would advise not getting too hung up on the wrong map - if you discount the warbirds, and Syria (for which there are almost no missions and zero campaigns available) the percentage of aircraft in DCS which don't have a temporally/geographically appropriate map is alarmingly high. When you factor in the number of actual quality campaigns available (hint- not a lot) ... well, using your imagination to turn this: ... into ... ... is a pretty small sacrifice to make. Museum Relic is set in fictional countries using the same map as Hunters over Yalu. Two countries are going to war in modern-ish day and your restored 50's jet is called into service to aid the war effort. So yes, it is a military campaign, but employs even more imagination to accept the setting. Edit: Try out Hunters over the Yalu for free. And check out youtube for run throughs of both campaigns. In my opinion, for the money (especially on sale right now) both campaigns are definitely worth picking up. Hunters is better if you want 50s Sabre - Mig action, and is a really fantastic romp through the Korean War. A proper Korean War campaign for DCS was a looooooong time incoming and Reflected did it right. Hoping he'll continue with a MiG-15 campaign after the Jug and Tomcat ones are done and dusted.

wowbagger Posted December 3, 2020 Posted December 3, 2020 Ah, good stuff. It has been a while since I played that, and I don't think I ever knew that option was there. Cheers no sig

Talvid Posted January 12, 2021 Posted January 12, 2021 Museum Relic is very entertaining. I started it first to learn the Sabre and that's proved to be a good starter campaign. The missions are very manageable, and immersive in nature with a charming plot. I'm now looking forward to the Yalu campaign. 1 VR rig -
Treker Posted January 17, 2021 Posted January 17, 2021 Did they fixed last mission? A while ago, I couldn't finish it. Only migs went up at final destination ...
