OUTPOST campaign series for Syria

[STONE SKY]

The first part of the OUTPOST campaign series is approaching release! The project is at the finish line!

The OUTPOST campaign series is dedicated to the real events of the Syrian war. In this project I try to maintain documentary accuracy! I've already started the second part for the AH-64D, and the Black Shark, F-15 and Chinook are ahead! I sincerely hope you enjoy it!

This is very exciting. I would love a teaser/trailer for the campaign! You can count on me to buy it, my favorite module on my favorite map from a highly regarded campaign maker, that sounds exactly like what I was looking for. Thank you for all the hard work!

Hi! Thanks for the support! I stopped making trailers for my projects.
I'm limited to screenshots.
We all know very well how good the graphics in DCS are, how good the Mi-24 is, even without my trailer.
If you want to be sure of the quality, wait for the YouTube stream. I will definitely report this on the forum page, in discord and on Facebook

Hi,

I'll treat myself to it this evening. Thank you for creating a campaign for the Mi-24. We now have 3 campaigns for a class module that will captivate you for days/weeks. Your announcement for the KA-50 also sounds very interesting. This would certainly also be very interesting for the SA342...

I honestly didn't understand it myself. I thought that OUTPOST AH-64 would be released in the coming days. But something went wrong.
Most likely, the update was postponed to November.
You asked about the new Apache campaign?

[giullep]

Yes, i wait for this new campaign!

Thanks! I hope you enjoy it! Unfortunately I have no information about the release date, but I am 99% sure this is the next update

New AH-64D Outpost campaign is out, congrats on that! Is it possible if you could share the mission documents here or somewhere? I'll buy this campaign for sure soon but can't right now, just want to spend the working day somehow

I purchased it and played the first mission.

My first impression is both positive and negative.

I like the voiceovers, the briefing material is very good and the mission itself is nicely structured.

But what annoys me to no end is the fact that not a single radio frequency is preset, so that I as a pilot have to change all the frequencies. On the way to the AO, I first have to manually set the ground frequency, then the tower, then departure and then AWACS. This was solved much better in the “Four Horseman” campaign - just as it would be in reality, namely that certain frequencies are already preset and that the frequency changes are made by the CPG.

The CPG also says “Fence In” - but does nothing. This is also done better in “The Four Horseman”. 

Perhaps this can be fixed with the next update.

Thanks for the feedback!
Radio frequencies are preset and you can switch between channels that are specified in the tablet. But CPG will not switch this, you are right here.
I did this in the MAD campaign for Huey and for Gazelle. But later abandoned this scheme so that the campaign would be available in multiplayer for multi-crew. 
I think it shouldn't be that hard to change the channel, and the presets are listed in the briefing and on the tablet for each frequency.

Thanks for the congratulations! Sorry, unfortunately I can't share the documentation.

No problem

[Thomas_GER]

The multiplayer capability is a fair point. This is something I will also check out.

Mission one: Better actors. A huge relief!
Nice mission. Loved the canyon!
Just out of curiosity, why did these targets not show up on radar?

Thanks for the feedback! These targets are static objects. The radar should be able to see them, but I'm not sure. I'll have to test this.

Used the presets on mission one. outbound all was all ok but on return I selected preset for tower and approach etc. and it wouldn't tune to the frequency. I even tried a manual input but no success.

I played tons of Jane's Longow/Gold with my nephew back in the day with joystick and keyboard only.
With 386 and Voodoo 3DFX, we had lots of fun but was allways kinda left wanting more.
With my current decent setup and VR, playing this campaign makes me feel like finally getting home.
Just finished mission #3 in a beautiful setting with low sun rising over a beautiful Syria, showing the map from its best side. I actually had that though heading for wpt3; "I'm finally home"
Congrats to all of us. Ed included, because the Apache is now just fantastic.
You must be proud of this one.

Yes! Just yes! I completely share your opinion! It looks great and impressive!

[subroutine]

It's probably me but how do you get the fence to lower on the helipad when landing on the ship in mission 2 ? I've got the radio set up correctly and the F5 menu has nothing that helps.

The railings should be lowered automatically. Could you please tell me more details, were the railings not lowered on the ship?
Or do you want to know how I did it so that they would lower automatically? Thanks.

[subroutine]

I've tried the mission twice and when I attempt to land, the railings do not lower.
