FMBluecher Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Would I be missing out by playing the original Raven One campaign before this one, even though this one is a prequel?

I assume not (especially since I've already read the book), but just wanted to ask. It does not matter that much. I think it still is better to fly the original R1 (and read the book) and then move to the prequel. On 6/2/2022 at 9:47 AM, C3PO said: Looks great. When is it out?

Bought it a while ago but been saving it up--I've had super high expectations for it and wanted to savor it, but it looks like now'd be a good time.

In this campaign Wilson is retired and struggles with a difficult home life as he reflects on his wartime experience. Not able to fully articulate his mental struggles to his wife and children, he finds himself more and more alone. While he often self-medicates with alcohol and pain killers, his one solace is the counselor that a former wingman recommended. In this sequel to the acclaimed campaign for DCS, you play retired Luitenant Wilson in a dialog-based adventure as he converses with his therapist and comes to terms with a difficult past and present. 1 3 Modules: Wright Flyer, Spruce Goose, Voyager 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C3PO Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 (edited) Hello, Bought the mission but am a bit at a loss of how to follow it really. I wait for the yellow jackets on mission 1 to tell me to move, but where is the wingman? And do I follow the waypoints once airbourne, or what do I do? I read the very chunky mission briefing, but was wondering if something more succinct could be added - say five lines of what you need to do for the mission? The detail in the briefing is great, but hard to follow once in the jet...

The detail in the briefing is great, but hard to follow once in the jet... This is a complaint I am going to get a lot. I've tried to add a synopsis, but for these missions it is really to make a good one, so I let it go. You have all the data in the briefing and in the kneeboard - I know the briefings are difficult, but this is how they sound in real life and we've decided to go full on realism (of course within boundaries of DCS and missions still being fun). In the post above there is a quick guide video, make sure to watch it and also read the READ ME file included in the campaign files. Also: this campaign is difficult not because it throws a lot of enemies at you, but because it follows the real life procedures and comms and you likely will be behind the jet often (I was many times, but with each re-fly of the mission I felt better and that is a great way to truly master the Hornet - although it requires quite a lot of patience). Now to answer your particular question: as FLIP (the main character) you are the wingman here (as you can read from the briefing and from the kneeboard). Then the briefing says to RDV with your flight lead at WP 1 - and after you do and provided you are on correct frequency (there will be pop-up messages to make sure you are), you are to perform an intercept that is also described in detail in the briefing and in the kneeboard with diagrams. After that just follow the FL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C3PO Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 Thanks, will do that … I flew the mission again a couple of hours ago and found the FL, that is at least promising! I think the campaign exposes what I don’t know about the Hornet, which is more than I though! Appreciate the reply.
