Macchi en Malvinas

[algherghezghez]

After more than two years of research and trial and error, I'm happy to present my MB-339A Falkland mini campaign!

You are a young pilot of Armada Argentina, you were training on the A-4Q, but news of the war brought you back to the airplane you know how to fight in, the Aermacchi MB-339A (MC.33 in the Argentine service). You will deploy to Port Stanley, now renamed Puerto Argentino, and fight your hardest to repell the British fleet.

 

In this 6 mission mini campaign you will find an historically accurate account of the MB-339A's involvement in the falkland war. Planes (including the actual bort numbers), dates and times, troops movements, AAA postions and ships name and position have been researched and accurately reproduced. Each mission has a Briefing and a debriefing document, several custom kneeboard pages, and lots of dialogues for a total of more than 200 voice overs. Inside the package you'll also find custom skins for the 339 (adapted from the excellent skin already provided by IFE) and other Argentinian planes.

Completed the first mission, very nicely done. I’m looking forward to the rest of the campaign. Thank you!

Thanks! It’s the only one on the longer side, the other ones are roughly half an hour. Let me know how you like the rest!

Hi,

Unfortunately, DCS is crashing when running missions 2 and 3. I have no mods installed. 

I looked at the log file using the DCS-log-analyzer, but nothing obvious at my level of knowledge was apparent. I do use SRS, and it's updated to the latest version, but I doubt that's an issue since all my other DCS missions are fine.

I tried Mission 1 again and that ran without any issues. Copy of my log file attached.

Any ideas welcome, I was looking forward to Mission 2

Try to load it in the mission editor first, than try again through the campaign menu without exiting from DCS, and let me know. I think it could be a memory problem. If it doesn’t work I might have to disable the late spawn.

Loaded via mission editor - worked  . Exited ME, loaded via campaign - crashed

I'll fly through ME for now...but I'd be happy to test any fixes.

And it's crashing via ME also sometimes...but mission complete. I love weather & nav missions

On to Mission 3...and thankyou for the excellent campaign documentation, the debriefing material is especially interesting.

Flown yesterday the first mission and it was great!.

The voice overs are great. Also the liveries are very nice. 

Also the story and the characters are well done.

And the best, I never had problems following the mission. All logical and in the right timing.

Thanks!

also for me mission two is crashing

as campaign and also ME

opening in ME and save and than possible to start from ME but not from campaign

ok, here a final edit:

opening the mission in ME and simply save them

re-adding in campaign builder

then it works

ok, flown the second mission and it was a lot of fun. It helps if you are familiar with the flight director. As a tip for other players.
And the end, cool story. Didn't say more,  you know, spoiler.

@algherghezghez, is it ok when I post a link to your mission in the IFE discord?

Sure thing! I’m working on bug fixes right now and improving some of the missions, hopefully soon!

Seems like a very nice Campaign, loved the time estimate before flying the missions, and the liveries are great:

 

 

I installed it via OvGME and took the opportunity to rename the built-in Campaign and add a proper description for it (seems like a really simple one), and also added one other User Campaign which I haven't tried yet because I uninstalled Syria to fit the CW Germany Map. The same OvGME file installs also all the needed liveries in one go, looks like this:

 

 

and within DCS all three campaigns appear under the MB-339 section, like so:

 

 

Tried the start of the first mission, really immersive, loved the fact that you placed the user on the back seat  

Thanks a lot for sharing and hope to try it soon. Cheers!
