if you'll notice, I haven't updated this since March of last year... It's kind of been abandoned. I haven't played it since before the MP release. I may revise it at some point because I really enjoyed making these missions, but it may be best to simply remake them as an MP capable campaign.

holy shit. mission 2 is pure fucking bullshit. You have 10 enemy airplanes and 16+2 ground targets. All the while all your teammates get insta fucked. Please nerf this.

Same as below. Prelude is DOA. The next mission after that is more difficult than I remember. It seems the tanks are now rolling along in bridging which almost entirely covers them up and makes locking onto them for longer than .5 seconds impossible. So basically guns or possibly Hydras are the only weapons that will work.

Yes, I've been told there are bugs that have developed over the life of this campaign, and I haven't really examined it to see if there is anything I can do to fix them. I will take a look but it is likely due to changes in the game/editor that have caused problems with the objectives and gameplay loops. Thanks for bringing it up. It may be due to a trigger not being called or perhaps you never climbed high enough. I wanted the AI not to get in your way but the only way I could find to do this was to trigger their takeoff with a Player Altitude call. If you hug the ground low, it may not cause the mission to even begin.

Hey, I'm having problems with Prelude, the third mission.

For one, there are no in-game objectives. I'm unsure if that's meant to be the case and whether that makes the mission unbeatable.

I found Port Patterson by myself after a while, and while four ships and some AA guns were at harbour, the fleet that was supposed to reach Patterson was nowhere to be found.

Plus, unlike the first two missions, there's no music or radio dialogue. Your wingmen don't take off, either.

If you aren't working on this mod anymore, is it possible to finish the mission as is or am I without lack?

Thanls.

Ah right. I think quicksaving has been broken for several updates now. Probably best not to try it.

Gotcha I quick saved during the mission and I think it may have broken the scripting.
Emcipio  [author] 21 Jun, 2022 @ 5:38am 
Goshawk5 it is supposed to have an ending when you clear the map of enemies. There is a 6th mission.
Goshawk5 19 Jun, 2022 @ 8:41pm 
So dose mission 5 have an ending? I completed the objectives but found myself flying around till I ran out of fuel. What I played was great but I assume mission 5 is the last one in this campaign.

I'm currently working (very slowly) on a Multiplayer version of this campaign. It will take time as I don't have opportunity to work on it as often as I used to, but I will attempt to convert it!

coop pls?

Broken for now. After surviving an immediate onslaught by fighters, the bomber targets were invincible. Missiles and bullets hit, but evaporated.

Just finished the campaign and loved it, hope to see more campaigns in this style. Now there are Arsenal Bird and attack submarine assets, AC5 and 7 have become surprisingly plausible!

I got the same as @Liao, mission 4 (Last line of defense) stop spawning tangos after the third group. Has anyone found a fix? The campaign until now has been awesome!

During mission "Ice Bound", rearming on aircraft carrier after first objective destroys the aircraft carrier and sometimes your own plane, failing the mission.

Very fun campaign thus far. I must admit I have never played the associated Ace Combat game. Still I can appreciate the fun gameplay.

Problem tho: It seems I can't make it past mission 4 (last line of defense) because the groups of hostile ground units stop spawning after the first three spawns. Is this happening just for me?

Alright so, major problem with Rolling Thunder. For one, the time estimations do *not* line up. Two, there's absolutely not enough time to attack after you pop up above the canyon to fire at enemies fore he calls out another missile. By the time you can acquire a lock, he's called it and you have to break off immediately or get killed.

I remember playing this pretty vividly on my PSP, and the time between missiles was long enough to be able to attack easy enough.

AMCorgi, no they aren't, Quantify makes the maps to suit the needs of the mission, so they are close in theme but not exact matches.
AMCorgi 25 Jul, 2020 @ 8:20pm 
Are the maps taken from Ace Combat X? If so, how did you do it?

so I have to launch vtol vr in the public_testing right? or is there a different open beta version
Snoopy 19 Jun, 2020 @ 8:26am 
Very fun campaign. I definitely recommend playing it

LordKaputsy Indeed it is, a year after the Lighthouse War of AC7! Everyone was hyped about the "current" events of 2019 when that one came out, but this one had us all played for fools back in 2006 haha

Ace Combat X is one of my favourite games, lots of good memories. Will definitely give this a try!

Fun fact: The ACX campaign is set in 2020, so that's fun

Mrlool23 good idea, but these missions also have their own BGM, some of which utilize it for cleaner audio when the radio would muddy up AWACS instructions too much. Beware covering up in game info!
Mrlool23 25 May, 2020 @ 9:54am 
gonna try it right now with top gun soundtrack

Got through one mission. I loved it. Would very much recommend.

Played through the missions and I love the campaign. Hope I see more in the future
