Для того, кто придумал сделать дозаправку в воздухе обязательной частью 2 миссии приготовлен отдельный котел в аду. Даже если дозаправка осуществлена в полном объеме, она не засчитывается, я уже 5 раз пробовал пройти эту миссию.

Is this designed to be tackled with the modern/futuristic equipment in the game, or am I supposed to limit myself to the technology that was present in the real conflict?

For those having difficulties with Second mission:
SEAD the DS marks
If you’re quick to take out the SAMs, you won’t have to refuel.
Take out as many SAMs as possible so the bombers won’t get shot down

What a trash mission

@CringeCatCZ activate?

how to activate it

shits bugged yo

second mission bugged. If all wing men get show down (sorry iceman), while I'm trying to mid-air refuel (for an hour), I cannot complete mission (after i eventually refuel).

fix the second mission

Was a bit shocked to find out this is only three missions, wonder if there'll ever be more at some point. It was a bit tough but once I got more confidence with dodging radar SAMs this became kinda fun and intense. Just gotta get over the fear of being locked up in the air and instead show that missile who's boss and return to sender with a GBU or maverick. Pretty fun. Hoping for more.

I finished Mission 2 after a lot of fails bei doing the Steps below:

1. Perform SEAD
1.1 Sorting out the first few SAM launchers with TGP and destroying them with either GBU39s or AGM65s.
1.2 Whilst performing 1.1 I shot SAM Missles that locked me with my own AIRS-Ts (I can't evade^^)
1.3 Destroying the DC Cruisers Radar dishes with AGM88s or AGM65s so it stops harrasing me
1.4 keep destroying SAMs for the next objective to trigger

2. Destroy Objective
2.1 Once I was told to protect the bombers I approchoached their target myself.
2.2 Get eyes on the SAM-Network at the last enemy airbase with TGP.
2.3 Sending GPS-Data with GPS-S for each SAM launcher (5-7 launchers)
2.4 Dropping my remaining GBU39s. (Make sure to configure your GBUs properly)

3. RTB

So........Are you going to fix this or what?

Mandatory full air refueling objective? Fuck you such a tedious waste of time.

Looks like this campaign is well designed by mission 2 is a huge miss. The thought of putting in a mandatory objective where the exxon flies away from you at 350Kt is beyond me. It either softlocks, or you spend 20 mins just catching up to the damn thing.

A very immersive experience... until Mission 2/Objective #6 as it got stuck for me, and judging by the comments many other people :/
After refueling the bombers just circle the area on after burners and don't do anything.
It's really frustrating to do a whole long mission with pointless air refueling despite there being an airbase nearby, just for the objective to get glitched.
It'd be great to have more missions but shorter. There is no persistent save in this game, so 1h long missions are a no go. People with quest 2 might not even be able to finish by the time battery runs out if they have to load save a lot

22 freaking SAM sites I have to take out with only like 10 missiles and teammates that don't do anything. Good luck.

Second mission gets softlocked after air-to-air refueling, it just never progresses to the next objective even after a full tank.

Is it correct that there are 3 missions? Will there be more in the future? I loved these mission. Lots of fun. 2 was very difficult but once i successfully did it i was ready for more. great job.

Awesome campaign! Especially Mission 2. Took me 10 approaches to figure out that AGM65 are the way to go and practiced proper missile dodging. Please more!

This campaign kind of sucks honestly. Mission 2 is broken and I can't complete it after trying it a few times, the scripting doesn't work properly. I take off and shoot down a bunch of SAMs while dodging missiles. That's all fine and as soon as I am out of AGM-86 the next objective is to go and air-to-air refuel. I go and do that and then you have to escort some bombers in to attack the city (objective #6).

You follow them in and they bomb some stuff in the city, turn around, and go to the tanker to refuel as well. This takes a good 20+ minutes as all the bombers want to refuel and they take awhile. Afterwards they just circle around in the same are as the tanker near the base never doing anything.

The objective (#6) never changes, keeps telling me to burn like help and escort the bombers but they just keep doing circles around our base. I thought maybe the mission is over so I eventually land and try to end the mission, but it doesn't count as completed.

@chovboy these missions are very difficult indeed. I suggest you try simpler scenarios first, otherwise it can be frustrating.

Missile evasion is a topic in itself, there is a workshop mission specially made for this, even with a youtube tutorial check https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2189296631

Personally what I manage to pull reliably against radar missiles is 1) hiding from the radar behind ground cover, just a split second is enough (difficult in the flat desert, I know) and 2) going straight for the ground so the missile crashes trying to lead me. For bigger long range missiles you can also "cheat" using AIRS-T and head tracking to shoot them.

IR missiles are easier to avoid: have some speed, then reduce throttle for several seconds (let after burner cool down), release flares while turning hard, done. Tricker with lots of them of course, because several of these manoeuvrers in succession will slow down a lot the aircraft.

im not very good at this game. second mission where we need to open up the corridor i just die. i cant evade the 30,000 missiles shot at me. any advice to be good and be able to finish the mission. its a fun game. i just dont like dying every 20 minuets

YO let us use the f-45 for this mission

can't hit way point sponge (first way point) on 2nd mission

Mission 2, game is crashing just after 2nd objective completion :(

very well done m8

Anyone else having trouble with the game freezing at the second mission right after wingmen join up?

Thats awesome to hear!

This is so awesome with the f16 mod

Thanks for the feedback!

Well aware of the map load times :) unfortunately thats the look I was going for.... Thats part of why I tried to keep the missions a bit longer.

Very good set of 3 difficult and realistic missions!

Small advice for the author: to reduce map loading times, try cutting down on the cities surfaces, this is the most painfully slow to load.

mission 2 objective "join up" breaks the game

I came here hoping to find there are more than 3 missions, but I guess not. Great campaign. I loved the formation flying on mission 3. Mission 2 took me several attempts until I figured out I really, truly, actually need to ignore the radars and just shoot the SAMs. Solid work.

Nice little campaign, could do without limited quicksaves though

Somehow in 2 missions objectives are broken, you get the mission complete screen while still in the air before successfully completing last RTB objective.Maybe some change in newer version of the game broke it?

Happens in Mission 1 right after getting to first waypoint along the border and in mission 3 after strike group destroyed last targets.

anyone know what the callsigns on the ARAD mean ive seen some like DS RS specificly what the sam sites callsign

Thanks Guys! I really wanted to continue this campaign but the loading times honestly made it a bit unbearable to keep going between the editor and the flights... Its a lot of work!!!

Really enjoyed this campaign -the length of the missions really gave me a sense doing it for real. I know it sounds boring but I loved the lengthy formation flying of the last mission as my group escorted the strike team.

Thank you very much for the effort of putting this together.

Just finished this campaign. Great stuff!! Was it only 3 missions though? I know it's not easy making missions, but I was really hoping there were more. Something fun about flying with your squadron and blowing up SAM sites and buildings. Had a great time with this. Keep up the great work!!

GunsmithJames It looks like a game update *may* have broken it. I'll look into it!

Question: Start of mission 2, I can't get my wingmates to join up.

I think one is stuck behind a line of bombers that wait to take off but never do. Is there a way to correct his?

I had to go out onto the sand to get around them and make it to the runway myself.

Nice!! I had hoped to put more time into it and other missions, but the loading times on the map are just baaad especially when going back and forth in the mission editor.

|GFG| nebriv, finally finished the campaign. Air refueling took me more time than all other parts of the campaign combined XD

Void.False - before you dump on someone's campaign, try making sure you're correct. Also - give making a few missions a shot, it ain't easy.

I decided to limit saves because this mission was developed before and during the save game testing. I wanted to develop a campaign that was more "realistic" and harsh. That is why there is forced air to air refueling, limited saves, and a whole bunch of flying without any action. And guess what? The first strikes during Desert Storm were... you guessed it... AT NIGHT.

Why bother playing a game like this if you can't take the time to learn it and become proficient? It takes hours and hours of practice, I'm not going to dumb down a campaign if you aren't willing to become better yourself.

For anyone having trouble refueling:
In mission two the tanker flies at a relatively low speed (I think its about 300 knots) in a large racetrack indicated in the briefing images. If you're trying to refuel against a plane faster than that.... you should probably check what you're following. The bomber flies at near supersonic, if not more, at a high altitude on a south to north track to the large city. If youre having trouble getting your wingmen to refuel, fall back a little ways and command them to refuel and they should do it. There is a minimum fuel check of about 80% I believe, so as long as you (the player) have more than 80% fuel then you should be cleared to the next objective.

How this campaign has so high rating? On mission 2 the tanker goes full speed. Air refueling is the most annoying part of this game. Yet the author makes it even harder making this mission at night and making the tanker move at full speed. Anyone can share a save file with this stupid mission done? Or is it the whole campaign like go 100km there, then go 100km back for air refuel. AND limited savegames. Like WTF?

I can't get the fighters to refuel. Tanker is way too fast for them.

Recently finished the Desert Storm campaign. Absolutely outstanding!! nebriv definitely captured the feel of the beginning days of the conflict. I'm amazed at the level of detail ... and the fact that the VTOL VR engine is able to render everything so smoothly. I was definitely lost in the moment. Keep up the great work!!

Great campaign, but only played to part way through mission 2. Is there anyway to skip this mission? Cannot get the air to air refuelling part to work. It's annoying because my loadout has more than enough fuel for the mission. Would be great if the air to air was just an option rather than a mandatory objective.

i have a Situation in Mission 2 providing SEAD at night, in mid process of refuelling the Tanker suddenly starts to push 690 MpH and my Wingmen have no chance of catching up for refuelling. its a dead end there
