[SP] AH-64D Georgian Hammer Campaign

[Eight Ball]

Here's the conversion of the A-10C Georgian Hammer campaign for the AH-64D.

This one is single player only, for the multiplayer version see here

If you own Combined Arms, there's a tactical commander slot and, in theory, the campaign can be played entirely from that slot.

AH-64D CA Georgian Hammer Campaign SP v1.1

Place the content of the zip in (...)\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Missions\Campaigns.

You can access the campaign by clicking on "campaign" in the main menu and selecting the AH-64D tab.

In some missions you can interact with ground units using the F10 radio menu.

Looks great! Thanks!

Need to improve my flying skills on the Apache a little bit. 

[spikenet]

Great work thanks!

[Nevyn]

Great.

[Roosterfeet]

Thanks for doing this and sharing! 

In the first mission there are two pairs of Apache's on top of each other next to the player flight. The mission starts with a bang.

[Eight Ball]

uh, off to a good start...

here's the fix for those who have already downloaded v1.0 . Drop this mission in "(...)\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AH-64D\Missions\Campaigns" and overwrite : CA-Push 0-0

First post updated with a new  download link to v1.1 containing the fix.

Thanks for the feedback.

 

[Nevyn]

I haven't started this yet, well I did start with a bang, thanks for fixing that btw, just wondering if it is all cold starts, if not are you planning on it? No big deal if you are not planning on it, I will just spend a few hours sometime in the near future making them all cold start before I do the campaign. (Not a fan of hot start).

[Eight Ball]

Yes, they are all cold starts.

[sirrah]

Awesome work @Eight Ball!

Many thanks!

[Bunny Clark]

Awesome! I've been looking forward to this since you announced it. Hopefully it'll be a decent campaign to really start to learn the Apache.

[Gretsch_Man]

Thanks a lot! I've also been looking forward to this campaign.

[Supmua]

Thanks. Can’t wait to give this a go with my friend this weekend, planning to do both multicrew and MP version.

Thank you!!

Just flew the fam flight mission and the 2nd mission (got shot down by a T-72 on second one due to my own stupidity ).

 

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong here, or it is VA VAICOM acting up again (as always ), but my wingman doesn't response to my orders. I made 100% sure I'm on the correct frequencies, as stated in the mission briefing, and I can hear and interact with the other flights (JTAC, AWACS), but my wingman does not respond.

I'm fairly sure he's on some other freq, but I don't know which one. Anyone else having this issue?

 

 

 

Some other small feedback:

On mission 1; at least one enemy Su-25 got shot down. Not sure if this is intended (Mission one being a fam flight)

On mission 2; the initial radio calls from the assisting flights (CAP, CAS and SEAD), are extremely loud

[Supmua]

Ditto on the loud radio in mission 2.  That particular sound file can prob be edited to reduce the volume.

I am already struggling with Mission 2. I always got shot down by the first row of enemy befor WP5.

Didn't you have problems with giving orders to your wingman?

(Really would like to know if there's something wrong on my end)

Try to dispatch SEAD and CAP flights before you take off... and beware the SAM's.

Vaicom only works in easy comms with AH-64D at this momment.

[Supmua]

For loud audio you can use Audacity to edit those ogg files individually.  In mission 2, for example, the ready for tasking sound is way too loud.  I reduced the gain to -20dB and this is now so much better.  The mission complete file is also a bit loud, I also reduced this to -10dB.

[Eight Ball]

I did make the "ready for tasking" sounds a bitter louder on purpose since they happen shortly after mission start, while the APU might be running and other helo/aircraft starting up/taking off. I will edit those sound files and replace them.

I did not. Sometimes I couldnt hear him but he would always follow orders

But then is almost every thing cleaned up!?

Can you share your files? Or maybe send to author of this mod as a fix? Thx!

Just to be sure, you were on 124.0 and 251.0 like stated in the briefing?

I tried again today and made sure VA VAICOM was not running, but my wingman was still unresponsive to any of my orders

That's something I haven't really paid attention to, I...I use easy radio

The briefing is inacurate, your flight is on 127.5 AM...will fix that too. Sorry for the inconvenience.

It's fine, it's an easy fix.
