Not at all, stands for SPecial INStructions, it is a document outlining theater specific rules/procedures etc. For example in Cerberus North it details all the air traffic control and close air support procedures used in the campaign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After purchase and downloading, I checked out the included documentation. Holy cow! This fortifies my thoughts that campaigns are the best value for your dollar in this sim. Just amazing.

Hopefully you'll get at least 30-35 hours out of this campaign on one play through, and I always make it a challenge to score 100 so incentive to play through again. 9 minutes ago, Paul_Exotic said: Will LWin+Home(Auto Start)work in these missions?

Just make sure you still ask for permission to start engines as instructed first. I don't know how much quicker autostart is than doing a cold start so just be conscious of upsetting the AI if you're too quick out the blocks...it's possible you could block a takeoff and cause some slight bugs.

L4key Posted March 30, 2022 Share Posted March 30, 2022 Hi! Can’t wait to start. A similar question to the auto start chap, will this campaign require the ability to A2A refuel? Sadly after many hours I still have not done this! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The later, longer missions are split into 2 parts, with part 1 ending behind the tanker and part 2 starting after refuelling so you never have to actually do it if you don't want. Personally I don't find it a lot of fun, and trying to get an entire strike package through the tanker is just a real pain! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just imho. I actually prefer missions that always start cold start for this reason. 3 Don B EVGA Z390 Dark MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.1 GHz | Gigabyte 4090 OC | 64 GB Corsair Vengeance 3200 MHz CL16 | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler |Virpil CM3 Stick w/ Alpha Prime Grip 200mm ext| Virpil CM3 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Base w/ Alpha-L Grip| Point Control V2|Varjo Aero| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold starts, on the other hand, are almost a must for me. I get everything set how I like it, and it really helps with systems familiarity. And it helps with the oft-mentioned "immersion" factor. 3 Modules: Wright Flyer, Spruce Goose, Voyager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah AAR is a whole nother story for me, but really I have just not put in the time to properly learn it.

Bearing 291 from the bullseye 'portal' (See the SPINS). The coords for portal are in your kneeboard/briefing pack, you will need to add a waypoint and set it as the bulls. Hope that helps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this Hornet bug/peculiarity doesn't always appear on Ch3 (it's a strange one). The option is added once you are at the departure point, which (from memory) is 5 miles out from the runway to clear the pattern. Also make sure you are on the correct heading (050) and below the overhead pattern (1500 ft AGL), I can't remember without checking but you might need to hit these conditions to activate the departure phase. Sometimes it can help to exit the comms menu completely and reopen it again as well, the F10 option doesn't always add instantly, can be up to a 1 sec delay so if you open it really quickly it hasn't appeared yet. Hope that helps, if it doesn't fix it please come back to me and I'll dig deeper, you'll still be able to proceed with the mission though, just fly on to WP1 and things should still work, you'll just lose score.

pelton Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Tried again with Easy Communications enabled (counter the player guide advice) and it’s working fine. Does that make any sense? I’m in VR and did auto-startup. Loving the immersion but so easy to become overloaded with flying, navigating, communicating … never mind anything hostile happening! i5-3570 @ 3.4GHz, 8 GB, 1TB SSD, GTX980Ti, TIR5, TM Warthog HOTAS, W10x64, Samsung JU6400 48" 4K@60Hz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
