Request from a newbie

[twiddle]

First, thanks for building this amazing campaign.  I particularly love that it is not carrier based, nice change from most others.

Can you add an option to have immortal and unlimited ammo/fuel added to these missions? 

With my flying career, kids, etc, I will never have the time to devote hours, most times not even an hour to completing these.  Most times, I run out of ammo and fuel and I won't be able to try the same mission again for at least a week....and aerial refueling will never happen for me, It's too time consuming.  For me this is one of the best Ive seen and I'd really like to complete all the missions, even if I don't get the satisfaction of aerial refueling.

 

Adding it as an option satisfies everyone, from absolute beginner to seasoned pro.  I hope you consider it.

 

Thanks

Little known feature in DCS that might help you is plane jumping. You can control any AI plane on your side that is flyable.

If for example your plane is out of ammo or shot down, you can jump into your wingman's plane and keep flying.

Something to be cautious about is that if the mission maker does not plan for this, missions may not work properly when you jump. However if it is accounted for, it can greatly expand your options for completing a mission.

- Some of the harder missions have immortal mode built into F10 Comms Menu. Will look at extending to all relevent missions

- We try not to make refuelling mandatory but in a few of the missions (3) you simply have to
- However, all refuelling is done in straight lines, not in clouds, not in orbits - which helps and our missions offer tips to makeit easier, like engaging autopilot altimeter lock
- Currently experimenting with new unlimited fuel options but as yet to no avail
 

 

We are always trying to make the missions easier to play as we appreciate not everyone is or wants to play at a mega high level.

Also, we do like more simple missions with emphasis on experience and not procedures. 

Will definelty add these elements to the missions and all of our new F-15E missions that are now in production

Thanks for the constructive feedback

All the best
