very fun campaign, quicksaving worked without issue for me.

Mission 3 should be fixed
Kowalski 18 Jun @ 7:53am 
In mission 3, objective 5: Rally -P same issue :((
Kowalski 17 Jun @ 4:36pm 
Fixed!!!

Thank you so much!

I think I found the bug in mission 1. Try that.
Kowalski 16 Jun @ 9:43am 
Update: It's 4. Rally Point - O ,

As per your advice I flew closer, 50m from rally, so close I get an altitude warning, unfortunately it did not fix the issue, after I already finished everything I flew back and even landed on the rally point, still nothing :steamsad:
Judge Dredd  [author] 16 Jun @ 5:46am 
Glad you like my missions/campaigns. Been a while since wrote this one. If it's a fly to waypoint objective not met, you just need to make sure you fly close to the waypoint so it triggers complete. I will try and take a look, but may take me a day or two.
Kowalski 16 Jun @ 2:43am 
Did it again yesterday, in first mission objective 7: Rally point wasn't complete, but other were so weird for me since did not do anything different ;D

Any recommendation?

Also Judge Dredd, big thank you for continuous support of your mods and engaging with community, you're a legend!
Judge Dredd  [author] 16 Jun @ 2:12am 
Kowalski check to see if there are any objectives not complete I.e not in green after landing and just before you switch off?
Kowalski 15 Jun @ 5:27am 
Amazing first mission, but when I get RTB, I land and turn off the aircraft nothing happens :(

Just replayed again after a couple years away. Still the gold standard. Challenging but reasonable.

The issue with the tents is a bit annoying and that got me the first time too, but if the announcement came about 5km out, that would solve it, or maybe just a warning message that even though they are all marked as enemy units, only some actually are.

Another note, you can rearm at the main base where you start if you don't get too close to the FOB which triggers the next mission.

This one is OK. Feels like it missed the mark some, but not by much. It has one annoying issue (shared with warthog in the desert) and a design flaw. It also doesn't appear to be an actual campaign, but the same mission duplicated 3 times for different times of day.

The annoying issue is the objective with several enemy supply cache tents, where one of them is ostensibly 'friendly'. The fact one of these tents is friendly is not mentioned until the player is within spitting distance, and God will smite the player's chopper shortly after engaging it as the enemy it appears to be, but it's fine to after the objective is complete.

The design flaw involves enemy air defenses. Put simply, they're a joke. Steam doesn't want me to go into detail why, 1000 characters.

Easily one of the best Campaigns/Missions in VTOL VR!
The scripted events and the voice communication during the missions are awesome!
Thanks for making and sharing this awesome campaign! :steamthumbsup:

Thank you very much for sharing this awesome campain! You create a perfect athmosphere with all the action around and the missions are fun!:steamthumbsup:

Very nice Map and Missions.
Had a lot of Fun, keep it up.
Burnhard Spliffington 14 Dec, 2022 @ 2:45pm 
Very nice Mission :steamthis:

@crixtionn: use the quicksave option, it helps a lot when learning.
crixtionn 18 Nov, 2022 @ 8:18pm 
Good mission. However, I am dogshit at this game and cannot beat it. Still very fun tho
Kyleapril32 14 Jul, 2022 @ 9:34pm 
I just tried this and it was an absolute blast. Thank you for making this! :)
mojster_segedin 12 May, 2022 @ 5:14am 
shame i've already played through all of your missions :)
Judge Dredd  [author] 12 May, 2022 @ 1:47am 
Bishop there is an MP version available and a similar single player and MP campaign based in Afghanistan. All in my workshop page.
mojster_segedin 12 May, 2022 @ 1:33am 
awesome mod dude. would love to play more of this type of mission, especially multiplayer :D
Judge Dredd  [author] 20 Apr, 2022 @ 10:42am 
MISTer(r)adiation You should be able to RTB and re-arm and refuel between tasks. Just steer well clear of the rally waypoint so you don't trigger the next mission task.
Gaming ist meine Leidenschaft 15 Apr, 2022 @ 5:46pm 
could you add the capability to land and repair/rearm? My pilons get shot off an ungodly amount and I always run out of countermeasures.
Judge Dredd  [author] 3 Apr, 2022 @ 11:28pm 
I will Look into whether I can make this MP
Aqua/H2O/Water (Stay hydrated) 3 Apr, 2022 @ 5:10pm 
even if it's just 1 heli spawn I'd appreciate it since I want to do this with just a CPG anyways.
Aqua/H2O/Water (Stay hydrated) 3 Apr, 2022 @ 5:10pm 
Hi any possibility that this gets an MP port now that 1.4 is out?
White_Brow231 TTV 1 Apr, 2022 @ 4:33pm 
Turns out i was hitting the wrong tent. But my other issue is that why are we not able to rearm/refuel at the FOB? I landed because i was out of flare and chaff and i couldn't rearm myself.
White_Brow231 TTV 1 Apr, 2022 @ 3:30pm 
It was in the morning. The second tasking you get right after destroying the boats outside the harbor. I may try a different approach and see what happens.
Judge Dredd  [author] 1 Apr, 2022 @ 9:01am 
@White Brow which mission is that morning afternoon or night. I will take a look when get chance.
White_Brow231 TTV 1 Apr, 2022 @ 5:13am 
Having a problem with oscar. After completing thje obj it says the friendly tent is destroyed everytime and the mission fails right there.
Judge Dredd  [author] 25 Mar, 2022 @ 12:54am 
Unfortunately it seems the official MP is not compatible with user created missions in the same way the unofficial MP was. MP mission creation is still in beta testing and has some issues. Once the official MP mission creation is out I will create some MP missions. For now I’m concentrating on single player missions.
Windswepttrout 24 Mar, 2022 @ 2:05pm 
How do you get this to work in multiplayer, i have the test server but still doesn't show in multiplayer
ZbuffeR 13 Mar, 2022 @ 11:53am 
I had a few loading issues in the past, with previous game versions, but with the current public branch, I only have an issue with this mission specifically. No issue in any other workshop mission ATM. And no mods.
Judge Dredd  [author] 13 Mar, 2022 @ 11:43am 
ZbuffereR I don’t think it will be a mission issue but I could be wrong? Unfortunately I have no experience with the coding interface between custom missions and the main game. Sorry I can’t help on this one
ZbuffeR 13 Mar, 2022 @ 7:39am 
Hello, good work ! Having a blast on missions 1 (could do the hard mode) and 2 (easy mode only for now hehe).

However I have bug on mission 3, could not finish loading the map. It went to 100% of the bar but then music stops and nothing else happens.

Revalidated game files, redownloaded this workshop item, still stuck. VTOL VR v1.3.5f2

Palyer.log has stacktrace about an issue "FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format"
Any ideas ? I am the only one ?
Warpig7171 7 Mar, 2022 @ 7:38pm 
absolutely loved these missions. as a OEF infantry vet i love the added coms. keep up the great work i couldn't get enough.
John C Flett 4 Mar, 2022 @ 12:50pm 
Thanks Sneeblats. Something else useful I've learnt.
Sneebiats 2 Mar, 2022 @ 4:45pm 
@John C Flett: On your MFD in the GPS tab you can select the new coordinates and send them to your NAV page by pressing WPT on the new set of mission coordinates. Hope this helps!
John C Flett 22 Feb, 2022 @ 1:40pm 
Really enjoying it but stuck on the second mission / third (bunker) objective.
Maybe an engine issue rather than the scenario but waypoints aren't updating and I was unable to locate the bunker. Nothing showed up on my map and selecting WP on the objective screen or objective on NAV didn't help.
Judge Dredd  [author] 13 Feb, 2022 @ 2:53am 
T_Waschbar. Thanks for the feedback. I take your point on the spawning enemy. There is a certain amount of randomisation built in which can overwhelm, on reflection it is maybe a bit OTT at times especially with only single pilot operating. The hard level is optional of course. However the AH-94 is well armoured and IR missiles can often be evaded with lots of flares and jinking manoeuvre's.
T_Waschbar 13 Feb, 2022 @ 12:48am 
I really enjoy the audio and tasks of each of these missions, they're really fun. However, I'm giving it a downvote because of how frustrating it is for all of the anti-air units to suddenly spawn in, well within their engagement distance, and immediately start firing on you while you have your back turned. If they were spawned in beforehand and just continuously advancing that would feel a little more fair / less like it's up to RNG for whether I survive. This is *especially* an issue on mission 3 during the rescue on the harder mode.

Otherwise these missions are really close to perfect imo.
stevemcgarret™ 10 Feb, 2022 @ 9:24pm 
Great mission, combat audio really adds some flavor to the mission. Can't wait until multiplayer build so I can have my buddy gun for me.
RedOverRed 9 Feb, 2022 @ 1:54pm 
I see. I also goofed up my understanding of the options that are available in the public test branch. It turns out that only multi-player campaigns can be played, not scenarios. Anyways, thanks for the reply, and I hope to see this as a multicrew campaign in the near future once the game is updated.
Judge Dredd  [author] 9 Feb, 2022 @ 3:58am 
RefOverRed at the moment I can only create missions in the editor which doesn’t have a multiplayer option. I know it used to be possible to fly workshop missions in multiplayer using the unofficial mod but not sure that’s possible now with the now built in official multiplayer? There is I believe a public testing version of vtol that has a multiplayer mission editor but it’s not been released yet and I understand it is still not working correctly in any event. Sorry for the long answer which effectively says no/I’m not sure. I think we will have to wait until the new official multiplayer mission editor is up and running.
RedOverRed 8 Feb, 2022 @ 10:10pm 
I cannot find a way to launch this in multiplayer. From the menu, when selecting workshop items, I see options for scenario single player scenario multi-player, and campaign single-player and this only shows up under campaign single player. Is there a trick to launch it in multi?
Liao 3 Feb, 2022 @ 11:22am 
Yeah, about the enemies spawning thing... it only really rubbed me once, at first objective of mission 3, when you TGP those downed pilots hostiles spawn all around that little village, indeed, I had a SAAW plop up right beneath my butt which was very uncomfortable... think it may make sense to have hostiles come in from a little further away or at least from a narrower range of directions...

But really, that's just whining about details...
Judge Dredd  [author] 3 Feb, 2022 @ 1:27am 
Folklore “Jones” Thankyou so much for the comments. The fact they come from a serving military person is very humbling. 🙏 I try and make my missions as close to a simulation as possible within the constraints of VTOL VR and it seems you have recognised that with your comments. In terms of your request, I will definitely see what I can do, watch this space!
Folklore "Jones" 3 Feb, 2022 @ 12:31am 
Dredd! As requested at the end of the campaign you want feedback. Dude.... Amazing. Im in the Airforce and your campaign has enough relevant elements to make a genuine feel of deployment while still being incredibly fun. I like the radio chatter and other things going on other then what your tasked to do. Loved the random RPGs. Really kepted me on my toes. I could tell there where some limitations to spawning enemies in realistic ways (like coming out of structures rather then just appearing in the middle of the raod) but they where minor to the overall feel of the missions. I would like to see what you can do with convoy missions and overhead support of house cleaning teams. We retook Mosol during operation enharent resolve near Kuwait, perhaps you can use that for some inspiration? Thank you for the awesome content! And keep up the good work!

Appreciated!
