Flight Qualifications Campaign

Unfortunately both issues are related to the recent 1.2.6 update. They are not a problem with the mission file. I recommend either waiting for the next update or reverting back to 1.2.5.

 

You can read about both issues in these forum posts:

Hopefully the next update will fix these issues.

Thank you for the prompt response, Terry.

 

So I'll wait for the next update.

Hi Sabre, will the campaign work with the last update?

 

sorry if already asked!

[Sabre-TLA]

I believe Air to Air Refueling is supposed to be fixed in the 1.2.7 update but I don't know when ED will release that.

 

1.2.5 is ok. Once 1.2.7 is out we will test our missions against that and post if AAR is corrected.

 

The other missions should be fine.

Any chance of automating the purchase process? I'd really like to start flying these missions now >.<

[Sabre-TLA]

Send us your SUID code and we can generate the keys quickly (once the Paypal transaction is processed).

 

You can read more about the requirements at our FAQ.

 

We have thought about automating the process, however we would prefer that ED provide an App store (similar to ITunes or Google Play) which would benefit all content providers.

Wow! Mere minutes after I sent an email I got a response, and at 2200hrs! You guys kick @$$!

[Oggii80]

heeeehehehehehehee....

 

Loving it so far!!! Narrator kinda' rushed me through startup, but that's alright, some of it's stuff you never really get to play with anyway. I did fail for not turning of my TACAN on shutdown though, even though I taxied perfectly. Kinda reminds me of the time in real-life (way back when I was a tanker 9 years ago) when I a NOGO on the M240 station because I disassembled it before clearing it >.<

 

It might seem like an extraneous detail to some, but attention to detail is everything!

 

Outstanding work! I like the Mission Cards too, that's clever. I am impressed!

[Oggii80]

Small bug

 

I got through the first mission, but I waited for a long time after he gave me the, "Let's check your shutdown" speech and he never got back with me. I realize that this may be how Officers behave IRL, but that's a bit unneccesarry here. :megalol:

 

Not gonna' lie though, overall, I'm having the time of my life with this. :joystick: :pilotfly:

 

By chance, are the names listed in the AAR's the names of the people who made this campaign a reality?

What version of DCS World are you playing the mission against?

 

The FE should give you a rating after your shutdown so it could be one of the triggers didn't trip properly. Have you seen the video on our YouTube channel:

 

 

Also you can try the practice mission package where each switch is called out. That might give an idea to which switch the trigger is failing against.

This looks great, just waiting on the mission key now.

[Sabre-TLA]

We have updated the installers to work with the new DCS World OpenBeta 1.2.7 release.

 

Links can be found in the first post.

 

Users who already have a mission key for the campaigns can use that to unlock these OpenBeta campaigns. No new mission keys are required.

[Azref]

Just purchased both the Basic Training and Advanced Training campaigns from you after hearing great things.

 

I take it the mission key you send is for both campaigns?

[Sabre-TLA]

Each campaign has it's own mission key and encrypted password.

 

You should get an email from us shortly with the details, once you provide the System Unique ID (SUID) so we can generate the keys.

 

Any problems please email us at mapleflagmissions@gmail.com

[Azref]

Thanks Sabre, Keys received very quickly.

 

Would i be better using the missions in the 1.2.7 beta patch due to the fixed refueling or should i stick to 1.2.6 for the basic campaign first?

[Sabre-TLA]

I think the jury is still out on AAR in 1.2.7. See this thread for more details.

 

Since there is no AAR in the BFT campaign it should be ok for either 1.2.6 or 1.2.7.

 

Hopefully they get the AAR fixed soon as it's the first 2 missions in the Advanced campaign.

[Mick F]

Just completed BFT tonight and can't praise this training enough! It's really made me a better pilot. Time to get cracking on the AFT missions now until AAR is fixed so I can go through the campaign.

Not really BFT specific but I was just wondering going through the training...

 

IRL, do checklist items have to be followed in the exact same order as written down or are you free to set up your own sequence as long as you don't skip anything and as long as you stay within one section before going to the other? E.g. complete pre-flight in whatever order before going to engine start?

 

I'm asking this because the mission script does not care for the order pf checks/actions it seems.

[Mick F]

When I fly the AFT03 or AFT04 missions, the trim is way off at mission start (in air). This doesn't happen on any of the BFT missions. Anyone else experience this?

[Mick F]

AFT02 is broken in 1.2.7. No ILS at Kobuleti makes it impossible to land. I tried editeding the mission to remove the thunderstorm, but the tanker just flies away at speed after RVCP.

[Sabre-TLA]

Let me take a look and see if I can make the landing easier.

[Mick F]

Thanks Sabre! It's killing me as after many hours the actual AAR is the easy part :)

[Sabre-TLA]

Just think of how good a pilot you will be after all the practice! :thumbup:

[Mick F]

Your campaigns/missions have already improved my skills immensely!! Can't recommend them highly enough.

[Tone71]

Just started my basic flight training tonight. I must say, I'm impressed so far.
