No time now officially, ED onto the Apache.   The best hope we have is from the Community making some quality content with a great objective set, storyline, complex triggers and voiceovers.   Until then Enjoy all of the screenshots of the AH-64 and clouds, while Ill be staring at my CRUS button in game patiently awaiting functionality.

Arab Spring for the Viper is ok, but I don't know if its updated for current build.

Any news on Official Campaign for the Viper?

[Burner1111]

It's sad that Viper lacks hardly good campaigns and most of the creators have skipped the cool-amazing little jet . Viper is in a decent state (ex. bugs) too to support campaigns.

I know that Baltic Dragon is planning the "Gamblers" campaign but I haven't heard any latest ETA. I wish more will come soon but official dyn. campaign would be the cherry on the top.

[Furiz]

They just tagged it with not planned... kinda hoped for it since F/A-18C has one.

Wel just as my title tells.... where are they...

We now have enough campaigns for pretty every other air frame, why is the viper not getting the credit it so 'more' deserves

[Jayhawk1971]

I don't know what exactly you mean by "official", but at least two and a half 3rd-party pay ware DLC campaigns are confirmed to be worked on:

- @ChillNG (Ground Pounder Sims) is working on a Wild Weasel campaign for the Syria map, aiming for a release date in the second half of 2023 (Q3/Q4)

- @baltic_dragon  is working on an F-16 campaign (also set on the Syria map) with John "Rain" Waters (The Afterburn Podcast).

- @Reflected and @baltic_dragon are providing a campaign for the announced Kola map in collaboration, where Reflected is making the F-16 part of the campaign, and Baltic the F-18 part.

Probably it means "free" 

 

[NineLine]

There are currently no plans for an official free campaign. We have quite a few excellent campaign creators doing content now, plus you can find some free ones in user files as they are made.

Thanks.

Sooo, all paid and all on 3rd party maps so far. Not that I play campaigns much, but it is kind of a shame that the F-16 isn't getting a campaign for Caucasus (or Marianas) that's just included with the module like all other modules bar those released in the last few years have so far. The F-18 has had a campaign forever now as well, why not the F-16 considering it's much more feature complete than the F-18 was at the time it got it?

Maybe you don't realize the effort and cost that a well-made Campaign has, have you noticed that new DLC Campaigns costs 12 dollars or more? ... to include one for free would increase the cost of the Module by at least US$ 10 and people are already complaining about the high prices of DCS modern aircraft Modules, if you were in charge of ED, would you really throw in a Campaign for free?  In my opinion none of the future DCS aircrafts will have a free Campaign.

The F-18 was released 5 years ago, and its free Campaign is actually a mini-Campaign, having just 5 relatively simple missions and no voice-overs. Honestly, it is better to pay for a more immersive and complete Campaign.

[d0ppler]

I've made a free Viper campaign (mainly aimed for beginners) with voice overs which you can try out while we're waiting for the Gamblers Campaign from Baltic Dragon.
