Description

Description:

Join as commander in the joint effort between U.S. Military Assistance Command Vietnam (USMACV) and Commander Task Force 77 (CTF 77). Stationed in Vietnam, you need to prioritize enemy targets and ship orders to Strategic Air Command (SAC) and Tactical Air Command (TAC).

Features

42 handcrafted missions, which also includes some ground operations preceding actual air combat.
Spawn a wingman to help you, and get those cool views
Play famous set pieces, such as Hamburger Hill, Arc Light and Linebacker missions, Battle of A Shau and many more.
Two famous air bases handcrafted and reimagined on the Cam Lao Nam map.
Fly any aircraft included in S.O.G Prairie Fire, Unsung Redux and S.O.G Nickel Steel.
Optionally, replay any mission with random weather and time of day.
Besides custom missions, you can also play an infinite number of randomized missions, choosing any aircraft you want.
High attention to ambience and immersion
Custom radio chatter during missions
Custom nonsense talk, combat talk or trash talk from NPCs around you.
Tired of flying and destroying stuff? Visit Saigon for some well earned R&R.

Known issues

Not compatible with mod "SOG AI", it will break playing this scenario. It's not needed anyways, since it's mostly air ops.
Trees and objects might suddenly appear floating, this is due to a memory issue in the arma 3 engine.
Can be partially fixed by upping the launcher parameter for "System Memory Limit" to at least 12288. The issue might return though, only later. If so, restart the scenario.
Ambient ground action might lower your fps. If so, turn it off in console with "random_fights = false"
Landing after missions is optional, use mousewheel action to find option to skip landing.
Deformer plugin is needed, it was used to edit terrains for air bases.
No saves available, due to performance issues. Successful missions are instead flagged as completed, and not selectable when selecting the next mission to play. Persistent on restarts. Most missions are short, so shouldnt be a major problem.
Bomb sight for high altitude heavy bomber, its not visible above ~1600 meters, due to it´s implementation with dive bombing in mind.
Read briefing-> mission notes, and controller/action notes for important info on some aspects of the game.
If stuck in "flyby/target" camera mode. Just press CAPS LOCK to get back to player view.
No handholding, this presupposes Arma 3 flying skills
If you just want to fly around, watch the scenery, without worrying about getting killed: Bring up the console
and type: "player allowDamage false; vehicle player allowDamage false;" and execute.

Yes, i figured it out, thank you!, great campaign!

Wolfowitz [author] 28 Jul @ 4:48am

"Saving" is done by completing a mission on the tactical map (in HQ between the missions).
Completed missions then disappear from the tac map (they can be reset by using the radio on the table in HQ). No traditional saving, no.

rod_n_roll7 26 Jul @ 7:31am

No saving??

@Charlie
Ok, I understand. Allthough the aircraft you use in this scenarios missions are not persistant, because you always spawn a new aircraft for each mission. So I don't see the need for it in this scenario.

Charlie 12 Apr @ 11:16pm

I do not want to cheat, but it seems like lucking of functional repair truck on the ground

Wolfowitz [author] 11 Apr @ 12:11pm

@Charlie
There is no feature of mine that does that.
Allthough, in the debug console, you can type "vehicle player setDamage 0" if you need to repair your plane while flying. Works in any arma 3 SP mission, where you have debug console access.

HOW TO REPAIR THE DAMAGED JET?

Wolfowitz [author] 18 Aug, 2024 @ 3:07pm

The "floating objects" (mostly trees and rocks) in deformed areas seem to return if setting "System memory limit" too low in laucnher settings.

- Set "System memory limit" in launcher settings to at least 12888 (12GB)

The issue might return though, only later (Arma 3 engine memory leak perhaps in conjuntion with "Deformer" mod). If so, restart the scenario. See more in this workshop item description.

Wolfowitz [author] 28 Apr, 2024 @ 4:02am

@BiaKorps, make sure you have all the required mods and dlcs. See "Required items" and "Required Dlcs" on the right hand side sections of this page

BiaKorps 27 Apr, 2024 @ 10:50am

Hi, the mission isn't working for me, why?
