How to start first mission?

[Rooster7755]

I looked over all the documents but i still cant figure out how to start the first mission,

To anyone else who wnts to know start and after the brief quit and press end mission to start the real first mission

After watching the F-18 take off from the carrier and the voice briefing is over you end the mission and just start the next one from the campaign menu like normal.

Then the flyable mission 1 will start.

 

Edit: sorry, didn´t realise you had answered your own question.

Although obvious to some perhaps, I understand the confusion about "mission 1". Calling the manual document Mission_1_Introv0.2.2.pdf doesn't really help with that.

 

The first "mission" or prologue really, should be seen as mission 0, with mission 1 being the first actual mission.

 

I do like the introduction/prologue touch by the way. Placed myself in the LSO spot (alt-F9) for that extra bit of immersion in VR. (maybe I enjoyed the view a bit too long, because the first Hornets were coming in to land while the ship was turning... resulting in a silly wave-off situation nowhere near the ship)

Yea im loving the mission so far, Boy I didnt take off with NVGs so I had to bomb and land on the carrier without them and boy that was a challenge. I landed 4 times without catching the wire LOL  But i finally got it and man did that feel amazing
