The big day has arrived.
No, not the campaign release day, but I submitted the campaign to ED for evaluation today.
And now we wait. The review process is usually long—months.
Since this is clearly an unusual campaign, with two flyable aircraft types and a dynamic structure, there may still be challenges ahead.
Below is a tutorial video that walks through the planning and execution of a simple mission in the campaign.

Quite a feat you've done there but I feel too much has been left for the player. I prefer to be a pilot, not a Strike Group Commander, and just get a mission to fly. Would be great to have that option.

Thank you.

You are absolutely right that in this campaign the player carries a lot of responsibility. The campaign is completely different from a typical scripted one and is specifically designed for players who, in addition to flying, are also interested in planning missions and assessing the bigger picture in order to define and achieve strategic objectives. Fortunately, there are dozens of scripted campaigns available if mission planning doesn’t sound appealing.

The ED team has now reviewed the campaign and some fixes have been made according to their requests. It looks like things are moving toward release.

Fair enough if that's the goal. I'm interested in what missions F-14 can get.
