nillefix Posted February 7, 2021 Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Just finished the Zone 5 campaign by Reflected Simulations. It’s been a dream of mine to fly the F-14 ever since I walked out of that movie theatre in the summer of 1986. But since I’m not american and I have some physical disabilities that prevents me from being a fighter pilot, I had to simulate my fighter jet experience. Now I can go to TopGun, thanks to Reflected Simulations(and Heatblur and DCS). If you love the F-14 and flying it in DCS, this campaign is right up your alley. It takes you through a training program much like TopGun with increasingly difficult mission, starting with 1 v 1 to so many planes in the air that they create an overcast from the missile smoke. I’m speaking from a total amateur standpoint but the immersive aspect of the campaign is fantastic, radio comms, briefings by Dave ”Bio” Baranek, taking off and landing procedures. My formation flying improved too. I couldn't find any negatives besides that the AIM-54 seems to be "broken", almost avoids target, but that's not on Reflected Simulations. This is a solid 10/10 from me, I would gladly pay double for this campaign. Included are some pics from my experience. Edited February 7, 2021 by nillefix 5
