Sharkku Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 I just finished mission 15. What an awesome mission! What an awesome campaign! I think it was a lot more realistic, a little more drama in the beginning where you felt for the characters in this than in the previous Raven One campaign, and a little less in the end. The last mission in Raven One was so dramatic with the dawn attack and the dogfight over Iran, and the VERY close fuel call. Hard to match that! But this campaign was so well done, such immense work you put into it! Such attention to detail! A huge thank you for this awesome experience! I really feel like a real Hornet driver now! /Sharkku 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Thank you Sharkku! If only AI chose to behave as it was programmed to do instead of starting doing new stupid things with every patch 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesterday I was showing DCS to my girlfriend. I talked her through an entire Hornet startup on the carrier, and when it was finally time to taxi to the cat, whaddoyaknow, an AI runs into her. Sigh. One day in the future, game AI will be intelligent for real. We are not there yet, but I think it's closer than most people think. I just watched the LAMBDA conversation that prompted that Google employee to claim it had gone sentient, and it's scary. I can't say for sure it's NOT sentient... if it's real. Anyway, it would be nice to have an ATC system and wingmen that you could talk to using normal language and not button presses. VAICOM is alright, but it could be so much better if it was properly integrated into the sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adirtynurse Posted March 3, 2023 Share Posted March 3, 2023 Half way through this campaign and I cannot echo the OP's words any better. All of your campaigns I've played have been great. Can't put into words how good these missions are. Keep it up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Thank you! Now if it only were not for all those bugs introduced with updates... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman1330 Posted March 25, 2023 Share Posted March 25, 2023 (edited) Finally finished the campaign, 6 months in the making! While there were periods of significant frustration (due to mostly DCS bugs that saw me shelve the campaign a few times and come back once the bugs were repaired), overall it was a very well done and immersive campaign. BD can't control the DCS bugs unfortunately! If anyone is in the same boat (waiting to come back to it), it's working now (less very minor issues) and highly recommended.

Darcaem Posted April 10, 2023 Share Posted April 10, 2023 Wow! I also just wanted to thank you! I've just finished the campaign and enjoyed every mission, and the detailed documentation. Most immersive experience ever.Kudos for the end I was sweating and have already the divert wp selected on the hsi when I finally managed to land on the boat... Never have felt more satisfaction after landing and completing a missionPS: I also had some AI annoyances and crashes taxing to the cat (M14 is the last I remember) but your scripting is awesome to overcome DCS' AI limitationsEnviado desde mi POCOPHONE F1 mediante Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted April 20, 2023 Share Posted April 20, 2023 Thank you guys, appreciate the feedback! Working slowly on 3rd part, which will be a Ravens training campaign set just before the first R1 book (yeah, Saint will be back). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canard Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Love the campaign, Baltic! I'm at mission 9 and will continue ahead even if you have teased quality of life improvements in the near future.

baltic_dragon Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Well, Saint will be back in the third part which IS going to be a training one (akin to Iron Flag).. so this should be fun. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
