L4key Posted December 7, 2024 Posted December 7, 2024 Just done m1 first time. I must be getting better! What a great start, no spoilers but had me right from the start. Scripting and triggers all worked perfectly and it seems very polished indeed. Setting the comms to the HOTAS is a great idea. Lol though, I was about to say that the flight leads transit speed was too high as for 10 mins I was in and out of burner, till I f2 viewed and realised my airbrake was hanging out! Landed with just 800lbs… I’d urge anyone to get this campaign, thanks BD. 1

Rivvern Posted December 9, 2024 Posted December 9, 2024 (edited) edit.. Sorry for stealing your thread L4key. Mission 1. So i had a slight issue. Spoiler Ok. So I intercepted the enemy aircraft. Moved behind it when i was instructed. The problem is that it instantly blew my wing off so i fell from the sky. I ejected and then failed the mission. I know, <profanity> happens. Still looking forward to refly it. Edited December 9, 2024 by Rivvern [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] We are looking for Swedish members! http://www.masterarms.se
baltic_dragon Posted December 10, 2024 Posted December 10, 2024 That's life but I think I will add an option for player to choose at the start to become invulnerable (and loose some points).

jmarso Posted December 13, 2024 Posted December 13, 2024 (edited) Well, it took three tries and a detour to some YouTube tutorials but I finally completed the first mission with a score of 100. First try: Got lost trying to plug in offsets and grid coordinates. Gave up in frustration and resorted to tutorials to brush up on procedures. This is something I've had to do a lot with the Hornet, especially since I spend the lion's share of my time in DCS in the Tomcat. Second try: Made it to the air intercept and . . . oops. Ran the intercept on one of the tankers by mistake. Totally missed the backfire. Swanned around until I ran out of gas, totally clueless. Made a note to play closer attention to Chainsaw's calls the next time. Third try: Completed the mission. Actually got a visual on some of the Russkis I was looking for on the ground. This time I intercepted the right air target, and things went well after that. Enjoyed the landing portion and felt like the astronaut's prayer had been answered when I got the mission complete message. Didn't feel great about my overall performance. Did not tap burner once the entire scenario (this was deliberate) and still landed very low on gas at the end; I think I was probably taking too long with the recon portion and being really slow programming coordinates for the FLIR. Very immersive so far. Probably less challenging for players fully in tune with the F-18 and its systems, but each mission will probably take me a couple tries. I do well with the air to air stuff but targeting pods and precision weapons are my Achilles heel with this jet. Practice makes perfect, eh? Side note: I don't speak Finnish, but I'm a quarter Finn by blood and Nightwish is my favorite band after Van Halen. So I'm definitely feeling the Finland love here!
