Thank You for Joining the Peacekeeper Lebanon Experience.

[Cyking]

I wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for your support in purchasing my campaign, Peacekeeper Lebanon. This is my first public campaign, and I have put a lot of effort into creating an entertaining and immersive experience for you.

I've tested each mission thoroughly, many times over, to ensure everything runs smoothly. However, with each DCS update, there is always a risk that things might break or not work as intended. If you encounter any bugs or issues, please don’t hesitate to let me know, and I will do my best to fix them as quickly as possible.

Last but not least, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your feedback and experiences with the campaign here. Your input is invaluable in helping me improve my skills and create even better campaigns in the future.

Thank you once again for your trust and support!

You can also share your experiences and feedback in my discord.

Played through the campaign.

Good mix of missions, and great effort on the story! Lot's of nice details, like the radio, and the pieces of history sprinkled in. Missions are quite short, and can definitely be played without reading the pdf briefings. But briefings contain some additional facts about the conflict, which are nice. Kneeboards where also providing the necessary information, without getting to overwhelming. Skill level required i'd put somewhere around medium'ish mark I guess. Most of the missions have gentle winds, fair weather, and none of the landing spots are crazy tight. Although some exceptions to fair weather exists during the campaign, and not all landing sites are football field sized. But for the most part, nothing crazy.

I enjoyed it, and would recommend it. Keep up the good work!

[Cyking]

Thank you very much for your very helpful feedback and your reportings! I feel really sorry for some stupid bugs. But I am happy you nevertheless enjoy the campaign and I even more happy you liked this little details. It also was my goal to have kind of easy access missions, I personally do not like to study manuals just to fly a mission. The goal was, every mission should be doable even without reading the briefing.

This is a great campaign! I never had any question on what i should be doing, or what was next. It was a wonderful touch to include the local station on the nav radio- good music too. This campaign is in my top 3 as far as smooth progress and fun missions. 
I do have one issue, however. On mission 13 (New Friend), where it gives the choice of either capturing the insurgent or going with Nina, I am unable to progress, because when I follow the prompt to open the F10 radio menu to select choice A or B, it only opens the map. I have tried assigning the "pilot radio call" to a button and nothing seems to work. 
Please help- I am unable to progress any further =(

Hi Thank you for your great feedback!  

Regarding your question. Maybe it is a bit missleading with the F10. It is not the F10 map. I mean the DCS radio menu, and then F10 (others). Let me check how I describe it in the mission and maybe adjust it a bit.

I didn't notice the PDF manuals until half way through the campaign, so worked very good without them I can say

What I actually missed (but this is subjective of course), is to have a few pictures on the briefing screen, with the gist of the mission you're about to fly. Seeing the route etc. Then it's easier to decide roughly how long that mission might take, and then decide if one want to spawn it right away, or postpone it to some other time.

At the lack of a visual flight plan on the briefing, I opened the mission planner to get an idea, but enemies where not hidden from the mission planner, so that tended to spoil things a bit.

Yeah both valid points. But both are kind of conscius decisions.

The Mission Planer I never ever used in my whole DCS carreer, so to be honest I did not really thought about it. But good point, seems like people look into that and I need to make the units invisible for that view. 

I personally (subjective of course) do not like the pictures in the briefing screen and I just used it as a kind of title image. I my head it is like: "Hey man, you have a map in the Briefing docs and your kneeboard"  But nevertheless, good point and I will keep that in mind and maybe add sth there. 

Thank you again for your feedback.

in mission 4,wet feet, the leeds ends firing at susp ship and then nothing happened. Didn't sink.

I just purchased it and so far I'm having fun with it, well balanced: not too hard, not too easy either.

Cutscenes are a great touch !

Keep doing those.

My feedback at "half time" after M6.

Generally a very nice and beautiful setting in Lebanon. I'm so glad to finally be away from Caucasus. I really can't see it anymore after +15 years.
Story, varied mission design, great voice actors... everything fits and seems believable. Also small but fine details like (Andre on Radio Lebanon;) contribute a lot to it.
In short, it is simply fun so far (except for that one landing on the damn containers) and i hope we will soon be equipped with weapons

One criticism: The radio traffic seems realistic but very difficult to understand. A little too thin/bright in the frequency range.

Otherwise, well done! I would love to see more of your work "in the future..." Who else has his voice in their head?

Hey Thank you for your Feedback. I can totally feel with you, I cannot see the Caucasus anymore and the Region on the Syria map now is really of the most detailed for heli ops. 

I even agree with you on the radio transmissions, now after 1 1/2 years of production it does not feel perfect for me either and we want to improve that in the future. I think there is a bit to much modulation right now. 
 

Hopefully the first campaign update goes live soon, then the remaining bugs should be fixed as well for the full experience.

Speaking of "remaining bugs"
What about Mission 7? I didn't see a cutscene after M6 as described as M7 in documentation.
After Mission 6 came M8. After a successful Mission 8, M8 "Escort" came again.

A look in the campaign editor shows the following:
Stage 7 = Mission 6
S8 = M8
S9 = M8
S10 = M9
...
Hard to belive that this is just on my build?!  No M7 or cutscene either, as I said.

Yes, it is already known. Ähm, I am really sorry, that is my fault. I screwd sth up by last minute changes before release. I already submitted an update to ED with all the know bugs fixed. But sadly they do not push it into last two hotfixes.

Ahh ok, alles halb so wild. So the only thing missing is the cutscene. But now I'm a little curious
How about putting the cutscene on your YouTube channel so people can watch it? But only if it ´s not too much work and easy to do.
Or you can briefly describe the content using the forum spoiler mask?

Yeah, only the cutscene is missing. Good idea with the video, let me do what i can do later today.

I really like the campaign. I only flew three mission so far. But really enjoying the atmosphere and details.

It reminds me of the campaigns of reflected.

It would like to see more campaigns of you! Keep up the good work!

[Cyking]

Thank you very much! And there will be definitly a new project upcoming once everything runs well with this. 

But please bear with me, there may be some bugs in the upcoming missions for you. You will find solutions/workarounds here in the forum. I already submitted an update to ED, but we will need to wait for the next update.

Thanks, I enjoy your campaign very much. I have a question about mission 8 and mission 7. On my screenshot you can see that mission 8 "Convoy" is 2x there. What about mission 7?

Mission7 is missing in my campaign folder.

Can you post mission7?

Hi Razer, 

thank you for your feedback. You are right Mission 7 is missing. It is a cutscene and no flying mission and due to some last minute changes on my end I messed it up before release. I already send an update to ED and waiting for next patch, hopefully soon. 

Meanwhile you can check: 

There you will find a link and can watch the cutscene.

Yes, this containers !

It says something like you could load a checkpoint in 30 seconds...probably to shorten the approach time...but I can't find this option?

Does anyone know how this works?
