CHPL Posted October 8, 2022 Posted October 8, 2022 Our first video for the upcoming UH-1 campaign STORM FRONT is now online and for the time being, exclusively linked via HELISIMMER.COM for 1 week. HELSISIMMER is a great website dedicated exclusively to helicopter simulators. Please take the opportunity and support the site. We helicopter pilots are a very small group of simulator pilots and can use all the support we can get. Oh and yes, if you like the video don't forget to like it, and please subscribe to our YouTube channel DCS Helicopter flight training. We are after years close to the magic 1000 subscriber threshold after which YouTubes algorithms perceive us. If you think the video sucks, please don't hold back with negative likes and bad comments. This also helps. https://www.helisimmer.com/news/low-level-heaven-shows-campaign-dcs-huey-storm-front 5 1 Always happy landings ;)
trevoC Posted October 17, 2022 Posted October 17, 2022 tbh, I didn't learn anything about this campaign other than it continues a story about a campaign I haven't played. Played 3 Huey campaigns to completion (UN/MAD/Par.Lost) and do enjoy Huey campaigns, but I'd focus a trailer more about what your campaign has to offer and what the story is about. Just my 2 cents. 2 AMD 7900x3D | Asus ROG Crosshair X670E Hero | 64GB DC DDR5 6400 Ram | MSI Suprim RTX 4090 Liquid X | 2 x Kingston Fury 4TB Gen4 NVME | Corsair HX1500i PSU | NZXT H7 Flow | Liquid Cooled CPU & GPU | HP Reverb G2 | LG 48" 4K OLED | Winwing HOTAS
CHPL Posted October 18, 2022 Author Posted October 18, 2022 (edited) @trevoC Hello and thank you for your post. First of all, this is not a trailer. The campaign is work in progress and the video first serves to show everyone who knows SPRING 2025 that they can expect even more immersion than before. I hope you have noticed in these first 10 minutes that the missions are different in complexity from anything you have flown in Huey campaign so far. (Unfortunately, only a few people really watch the videos in their entirety and therefore do not notice many things). Info about the current campaign SPRING 2025 can be found here in the forum. https://forum.dcs.world/forum/273-low-level-heaven/ There you can see, among other things, that the campaign is kept up to date with a lot of effort. There is no such thing as an OLD CAMPAIGN. Especially I recommend the thread "worst-camp-ever" so you don't get any bad surprises. https://forum.dcs.world/topic/213625-worst-camp-ever/page/2/#comment-4530029 On our official You Tube channel https://www.youtube.com/c/DCSHelicopterflighttrainingbyGrizzly you can also find the trailer for SPRING 2025. Unfortunately the worst trailer ever. Of course, I would be happy if you would try SPRING 2025 as a foretaste of STORMFRONT and give me your feedback. You can get quick help here and in the forum or on our DISCORD. I am looking forward to your experiences with my way of building missions. Always happy landings Edited October 18, 2022 by CHPL Always happy landings ;)
MAXsenna Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 Gonna get this of course. Loved the first one. Hopefully all voice actors will be different for each role, and have the relevant national accents. American ATC in Georgia sounds wrong and is in-immersive. Please don't the let the "insurgents", or whatever the enemy in the first one was supposed to be, be Ukrainian. At least they flew Ukrainian colors and was reported as Ukrainian in the post-mission reports. I hope you consider to actually change that in Spring 2025. Apart from this I really really liked it! Cheers! 1
CHPL Posted October 19, 2022 Author Posted October 19, 2022 @MAXsenna Voice actors were one of the biggest problems of the past and still are. In STORMFRONT there will be even more dialogues and characters. Therefore, since the last update for SPRING 2025, we have been increasingly using computer voices, which we post-process with great effort, as we achieve much better results with them than with most voice actors. This also gives us much more flexibility and facilitates changes and adjustments in the creation of missions and also in later updates. 1 Always happy landings ;)

WildBillKelsoe Posted November 5, 2022 Posted November 5, 2022 After flying the first campaign (except the night RPM trees mission), I can vouch for this campaign if its as CHPL says. AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
CHPL Posted November 5, 2022 Author Posted November 5, 2022 @WildBillKelsoe Thank you. We do not want to disappoint the trust and are working hard on it. 1 Always happy landings ;)
CHPL Posted December 7, 2022 Author Posted December 7, 2022 DCS UH-1 CAMPAIGN / STORM FRONT - Preview 3 It is not without reason that the requirements for training and obtaining a license are exceptionally high when it comes to instrument flying. Flying and navigating by instruments is one of aviation's most demanding and dangerous things. Still true today when many things are automated and computer-controlled. So all these things we don't have in our UH-1. Mission 8 in the upcoming STORM FRONT Campaign is probably the dumbest idea ever. The mission requires flying by instrument rules from start to finish. 2 Always happy landings ;)
Teeps Posted December 10, 2022 Posted December 10, 2022 Looks like this will get me back into the Huey Win10 x64, 16 GB RAM, Ryzen 5 1600X @3.60 GHz, 500 GB SSD, GeForce 1080 Ti
CHPL Posted October 2, 2023 Author Posted October 2, 2023 GOOD NEWS FROM ED TESTERS. THE CAMPAIGN WILL BE APPROVED SOON! SO WE ARE THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME FOR ANY FURTHER DELAY. EXCEPT THE SUPPRISES 2.9 WILL BRING For more information, join our official DISCORD https://discord.gg/CXCA7rf 1 Always happy landings ;)
MADLOU1 Posted October 2, 2023 Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Trailers? Oh never mind I found it! Looks good! Only issue I have is no ability to autostart. Edited October 2, 2023 by MADLOU1

The UH-1 start procedure is straightforward, and besides the checklist on the kneeboard, your commander will guide you through it. Also, the start procedure controls many things in the environment, which is why it is crucial in the Missions. You will see if you get used to it; it is also fun and essential to the immersion. I am sure if you have a driver's license and a car, you know how to start the engine ort to boot the Computer in the case of a TESLA. If nothing else helps, visit us at the Black Angels for usual instruction. But besides that, everybody is welcome to join the squad. Edited October 2, 2023 by CHPL 1 Always happy landings ;)
jetsimace Posted October 4, 2023 Posted October 4, 2023 I like having the ability to autostart as repeating the same steps again and again at some point just gets boring. This in combination with speeding up time during autostart also brings me much faster to what I really want - and this is simply flying 1

CHPL Posted October 4, 2023 Author Posted October 4, 2023 vor 6 Stunden schrieb MADLOU1: I agree 100 % with this. I will have to give this campaign a pass. This is precisely why we clearly highlight these circumstances. On the one hand, we want to avoid you spending money on it and then being disappointed or frustrated. On the other hand, far more than 1,000 hours of work go into such a campaign. Especially the start-up controlled stuff is always a headache until everything is running smoothly. To then take criticism at the end because not all expectations can be met..... I personally and also some others see now once the simulation in the Fordergrund, this with fast and simple play to combine, succeed to me only very limited. In any case, I am very grateful for your opinion, because possibly once a campaign with the emphasis on the game factor. And of course, there are and will be more fun campaigns from colleagues in the future. Paradise Lost, for example, creates a great atmosphere between takeoff and landing. Secretly, I hope you are curious enough to try it. Maybe not immediately upon release, but maybe after 24 months of the sale. Because such a cold start with waiting for release is 5 of at least 45 minutes and not always, we will often relieve you of a lot of work, so you can concentrate on flying. This is called Crew Management and must not be missing in a good SIMULATION. In addition, we make further efforts to avoid possible frustrating repetitions. So, missions are split; for the hardcore pilots, the complete mission is available in one piece. I hope you understand that at my age, you can especially enjoy the moments when you can sit back for a moment, have a sip of coffee, beer, or water, and light up a cigarette. Watching the hustle and bustle and letting God be a nice man. 3 Always happy landings ;)

That's my problem. I'm close to 70 years old. By the time I go through the startup procedure of any of these modules, I will need a nap! LOL 1

Roc123 Posted October 9, 2023 Posted October 9, 2023 (edited) Thank you for the interesting information. I also read here. I hope that your campaign can achieve a good balance between these two aspects. Edited January 10, 2024 by Roc123
kotor633 Posted October 9, 2023 Posted October 9, 2023 I'll repeat my request from a few months ago: please start a campaign for the Mi-24P. Or, now, for the gazelle. ************************************** DCS World needs the Panavia Tornado! Really! **************************************

In secret I hope for the BO-105, but that will not happen soon. We will see how 2.9 works for the Gazelle. Always happy landings ;)
kotor633 Posted October 9, 2023 Posted October 9, 2023 Yes...the Bo-105...I really want it, yes, but really believing in it...it's very difficult for me. 1 ************************************** DCS World needs the Panavia Tornado! Really! **************************************
