New campaign for beginner

[steve_giraffe]

Hi

i’ve been away from DCS for a while and want to make a comeback!

I have the F18 and also Persian Gulf maps.

Which campaign or missions (other than tutorials) would you recommend for a beginner, someone having to remember and relearn stuff again which isn’t too SAM defence heavy so I can get in the swing of things again.

Thanks in advance

Good question, I've been too busy for the last 18 months but am just about to dig back in to DCS.

I only ever pottered about a bit in my low hours Hornet. Interested to hear what advice you get.

Eastern Friendship is one of the campaign’s you should check out

You can try my free 'Serpent's Head' campaign. One version is in Nevada and the Caucasus, the other just in the Caucasus if you do not own the Nevada map. Each is with or without Supercarrier options, if you have the SC module. This campaign uses emulated voices only. Links below. 

If you like it then the follow up campaigns , 'Serpent's Head 2' and 'Rise of the Persian Lion' are available from the DCS shop.  There is a continuous story line between all three campaigns. You will also find your knowledge and skill will grow as they progress. These later campaigns are fully voiced by actors and have the option of easy air to air refuel. 

Hope this helps

I'll 2nd Eastern Friendship, and Badger's campaigns are great starter/refresher's as well.  Challenging but very doable (now with "hard" version available in some of them).

Yeah Badgers original Serpents Head campaign is great for a first campaign.

Then afterwards Serpents Head 2 , followed by Rise of the Persian Lion. All are great.

Don't neglect single missions. I have been downloading them from the user files. Some I haven't cared for but most are fine. They usually give a pretty good description of what the mission is, what map it is on, what skills you need, etc so you have some idea before downloading. One thing I like is, since they are a much smaller file than a campaign, many come as a miz file so you just move them from your download folder to the mission folder. That is way easier for me than having to extract zipped files.
