ChillNG Posted June 2, 2024 Posted June 2, 2024 The official announcement of the the Falklands '14 campaign for DCS World, in development now for the AV-8B Night Attack and South Atlantic map. In 2014, a rejuvenated Argentine military launches a surprise attack on the Falklands, swiftly capturing the islands and avenging their defeat in the 1982 Falklands War. Emboldened by significant Chinese support, Argentina digs in and prepares to defend against the inevitable British attempt to re-take the islands. Outnumbered, outgunned and over 8,000 miles from home, the British task force and it's handful of Harrier pilots faces a seemingly insurmountable challenge to take the Falklands back. Falklands '14 will offer the definitive DCS: AV-8B experience. The campaign will feature detailed naval operations from HMS Invincible; including an interactive crew chief, fleet air traffic control, and departure and arrival procedures. Inspired by events of the 1982 Falklands conflict, the Falklands '14 campaign will push virtual Harrier pilots to the limits through a thrilling and intense set of missions. Falklands '14 is in active development now and is due for completion in the first half of 2025. 5

Gunnar81 Posted June 2, 2024 Posted June 2, 2024 Awesome! The SA map has always intrigued me, this will most likely force my hand haha. Another great looking campaign for the Harrier. 1 1

I can't help but admire your optimism, dedicating so much time to a Campaign that employs not one, but two of Razbam Modules. If the current issue between ED & RB is solved, I will for sure purchase your Campaign , as I truly enjoyed that map.

unlikely_spider Posted June 2, 2024 Posted June 2, 2024 Well then -this adds two items to my 2025 to-do list. Re-learn the Harrier, and purchase the SA map. 1 Modules: Wright Flyer, Spruce Goose, Voyager 1
gachatar Posted June 3, 2024 Posted June 3, 2024 (edited) Oof. It will be a very hard decision if I'll want to buy the map that pretty much no one plays just for one campaign, even though Harrier is probably my favorite jet in DCS. Edited June 3, 2024 by gachatar

Best regards, Eduardo Thanks, yeah it is a bit of a leap of faith, but it's a risk in prepared to take. I already had a ton of work put into the campaign before things blew up so thought what the hell, hope for the best and push on. 5
LordOrion Posted June 3, 2024 Posted June 3, 2024 Not the best moment for and Harrier + SA map campaign, however I will buy it day one (hoping that BR and ED settle down their "problem"). 1 RDF 3rd Fighter Squadron - "Black Knights": "Ar Cavajere Nero nun je devi cacà er cazzo!"

Yeah I know., it's a tricky one. I'm not expecting high sales overall for that reason, but I promise the campaign won't disappoint if you decide to go for it. 2
GomesPT Posted June 3, 2024 Posted June 3, 2024 This campaign had everything to go well, such as the story, the location and even the aircraft, but unfortunately at this moment, the Ground Pounder was caught in the middle of "crossfire" between ED and Razbam. I hope things between them can be resolved, so this campaign can go well.

Tobse Posted June 3, 2024 Posted June 3, 2024 I'm super-excited for this and hope it will work out as planned. Any hints yet on whether this will feature more air-to-air engagements than Kerman, in hommage to the original Falklands war? Cheers, Tobse!

MichTerran Posted June 3, 2024 Posted June 3, 2024 I've got the money ready. I started waiting. I hope this won't delay the next f-16 company?

WWSmith Posted July 15, 2024 Posted July 15, 2024 I'm very excited to see this! I love your other campaigns, I love the Harrier, and I've been wanting to buy the South Atlantic map for a while but have held off due to the lack of single-player content for it. This is a win all around as far as I'm concerned. 1

wowbagger Posted August 2, 2024 Posted August 2, 2024 Just played the prologue - so very good! Thanks for making this available. This is the campaign I am most eagerly anticipating. (I dearly hope the Harrier doesn't become obsolete within the next year.) But man, that south Atlantic weather is going to murder me. 1 no sig

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed! These new weather affect on the canopy make things interesting for sure. and although the weather is not dynamic, the pockets of rain you keep coming n and out of make the weather feel so much more alive.
ChillNG Posted January 20 Author Posted January 20 As promised in my 2025 development YT video, the extended demo of Falklands '14 is now available from: https://www.groundpoundersims.com/demo-missions Here you'll find the first three missions along with the campaign prologue, all documents and liveries. Enjoy, and I look forwards to returning to work on the campaign in the future. 3 2
Tobse Posted February 1 Posted February 1 Just played through those first 3 missions, extremely well done. Nice additions like the virtual yellow shirts for taxiing, the usual great voiceovers, apparently some randomization going on, at least in mission 3. Thanks a lot for making these available, I'll keep my fingers crossed that the whole campaign will work out. Take care, Tobse! 1 1

Pilot98 Posted February 9 Posted February 9 I've really really enjoyed these, very atmospheric and I loved the co-ordination of the attacks. Playing through these helped me fall in love with the Harrier again, so I've been back for another play through of the Kerman campaign too. Thank you! 1 1
