Campaign for OH-58D Kiowa Warrior: "Through the desert dust"

[YoYo]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen! I'm rushing with hot news for fans of the OH-58D "Kiowa Warrior" and DCS. A substantial, fully professional single player campaign (quality of paid versions or even better) will soon be coming to the DCS simulator. The campaign is intended for the Polychop Simulations OH-58D module, but you also need to have a map of Afaghanistan (the south-western part or the entire map). It is also worth adding that the campaign was created in cooperation with Ryan Robicheaux, the pilot of the Kiowa Warrior and the author of the book "Scouts out!". The campaign period is 2010.

The campaign has been ready for some time, and is currently being finalized. What's most important for you, despite the large amount of my work and investment, the campaign will be available for free for fans of DCS (similarly to my previous one for the Mi-24P). You will find a full description of the campaign's manual (it will be important). The campaign will be available for download via the DCS website in User files section soon. For now, this is just a preview. The most important features of the campaign:

• Over dozen single player missions (14, lasting from 40 minutes to 1,5 hours gameplay of each) taking place in Afghanistan (DCS: Southwest Afghanistan map or the whole DCS: Afghanistan map is needed)
• Realistic, detailed scenarios, based on real events of the Operation Moshtarak (2010) and its prelude (although of course the campaign was adapted to the DCS environment and its possibilities, thus achieving a compromise between history and playability)
• Story driven campaign with a detailed mission introduction, voice commands and plot twists during the mission
• Proceeding the campaigns as the pilot of OH-58D and co-pilot/gunner/AMC
• Full, advanced voice package in English, even your co-pilot received his role! 
• Several thousand lines of subtitles in English (only English is supported language)
• Various types of missions (also artillery guidance), including night ones
• Dedicated skin for Kiowa Warrior from period of Afghan war
• As real as it gets - cold starts only, you also need to return to the airport/FOB/FARP after the mission and special mission completion mode
• Auto ATC (automatic communication during takeoff and landing is used after selecting the appropriate radio)
• Prepared briefings (description of the situation and tasks), full documentation, graphics and photos
• Important data in the pilot's kneeboard 
• Summary (including tips and tricks) in the manual, check it before the flight ;)!
• FPS friendly (tested in VR too), only the most necessary units plus the surroundings
• Custom background’s music created for this campaign (after successful completion of the campaign online access to the soundtrack)

I'm aiming to release it in June this year, so now you have a great time to refresh your memory of the OH-58D !

Sounds great. i'm really looking forward to it. thanks for all the work you've done.

With “Proceeding the campaigns as the pilot of OH-58D and co-pilot/gunner/AMC” it sounds like the campaign is also fully multicrew capable, or will that not work?

Hi! The campaign is for single player only. Multicrew is available but only in SP mode (you will have to switch between pilot and CPO/weapon officer).

That's right, it's very close. I just have to check the missions after the last patch. Sometimes a patch can change something. So far everything is going according to plan. The assumption is - free of bugs (there is a chance for that).

Thanks for the kind words. In my opinion this is a different level, much better than the one for Mi-24P. I hope you won't be disappointed.

I had the honor to participate in the beta test last year and can say it was fun to fly and in the end made me a better Kiowa Warrior pilot
