skypickle Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 is there a campaign like that of iron flag is for the A10? Something that teaches the F5 strengths in a simple way? 2 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal
Princess57 Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 I have been flying the F5 for a while and haven't found anything like that. There is a huge gap between the tutorial missions and the campaigns (Agressors BFM, ACM and Black Sea Resolve). I wish someone would create more advanced tutorials to learn how to actually operate the aircraft. Being so similar to the T-38C it would make a lot of sense to base them on the AETC 11-251 T-38C Flying Fundamentals and AETCTTP 11-1 T-38C Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals manuals. This would probably benefit all F5 pilots and also motivate people to buy the F5 as a trainer. I'm even thinking about learning how to use the mission editor to make them myself. 1 1

Not missions to play in DCS, but someone did make a lot of (excellent) tutorials exactly like that: Mike Solyom with his The Ops Center YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAGylbmVAkEyOibhDVUYrPA 2 3

Gianky Posted January 20, 2023 Posted January 20, 2023 You're welcome, Rudel! His tutorials are among the best you can find out there, and probably the only ones for DCS that don't focus on how to fly a module, but teach the basics of A2A and A2G, USAF style. BTW, Mike did make a couple of training missions, available in the User File section of the website: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/user-is--Solly-/apply/ P.S. talking about other nice YouTube channels, another great one is Rifle's one, focused on JTACs and CAS missions: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQvuofg0IfKZtmn8acDkESw The Air Warfare Group guys have some tutorials on formations and tactics, based on Navy CNATRA manuals, from some time ago, but they're not systematic in their approach and now they seem to be focusing of a different type of content: https://www.youtube.com/@AIRWARFAREGROUP/featured 2 1

Princess57 Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Yes, those videos by Mike Solyom are probably the best on those topics, and his training missions are useful for several of the IFF manual chapters. I decided to start working on the campaigns by myself. I'll see how far I can get. Of course I would welcome the help of anyone with experience in the mission editor.

I would be happy to collaborate with you. I have some experience with mission triggers and the subtle 'gotchas' that interfere with their execution. I have no knowledge of actual missions or CNATRA regs other than what I can read online so realism is not my forte. Rudel is however a far superior craftsman in this regard. Recently, I have been using Briefing Room to generate missions for me. https://github.com/akaAgar/briefing-room-for-dcs/releases/tag/beta-release-230118-1801 There is also this on the horizon: https://www.reddit.com/r/hoggit/comments/10hrmfk/the_all_new_dcs_web_editor_preview/?sort=new 2 4930K @ 4.5, 32g ram, TitanPascal
