Again, one of the best Campaigns in the Game!
Must Have! Genius and verry talented creator!

3rd mission breaks if you quick load at pretty much any point as far as I can tell

tried first mission 5 times, echo 1 takes off and crashes into a building almost instantly

same issue on first mission with echo 1 taking off and crashing straight into a building causing fail every time

Mission 1 Echo 1 will crash into buildings for me. Not sure if its the procedural buildings getting in the way.

mission 1 is buggy

The first mission is buggy for me. The first time I tried it the AV-42C never took off. The second and third, they were shot down as soon as they did. [clips.twitch.tv] :(

The best custom campaign.

I couldn't take out the Death Camp but the rest was fun. The last mission was totally unexpected - A+ for an out-of-the box challenge.

I have the feeling that you have to restart the game completely to clean a bad quickload that messes with objectives. I am pretty sure that I had issue with a mission (a different campaign) after quickloading, and even restarting the mission still messed it, but when playing another day without any quickload it went perfectly.

That, or it is random.

ZbuffeR: Yeah I tried it again, and it completed this time. Wonder if it has to do with the fact I did a quick save the first time? I didn't load, just saved, so if that's the reason seems kinda weird. Anyhow, thanks for the reply!

Trying to describe what I did precisely on mission 1 :
- rush with after burner to the city, to destroy ASAP both radars with AGM65, them start to destroy tanks nearer the landing pad while Echo 1 lands
- no need to hit SAMs, nor infantry, nor the tank column on the road farther out
- once 10 (or 12?) tanks are destroyed, new objective to rejoin Echo 1 who takes off, then fly back without issue.

Unable to complete the first mission, Echo 1 never takes off. My wingman and I wasted all enemy targets in the city, and then we loitered for about 10 minutes before giving up. I think I did a quick save, but I never did a load. And I also had to return to base once to rearm. Any idea what the issue might be?

Hey, thank you for this campaign, I finally managed to complete all 6 episodes !
Fun take of the SW franchise, and varied but not too hard missions, with nice voices

I too had the issues described below for missions 1 & 3, but know that I finally succeeded when doing them from fresh game start and without using any quicksave !

Sandmonkee, thanks for the verification about save/loading! I haven't been able to recreate the issue others have had and it must be related to the save/load state. I'll report this to the developer.

This is an awesome campaign, thanks so much for making it! I am also not able to complete the 3rd mission. If I save and load before the first wave of fighters, they do not show up, and the kids circle over the mountain. If I don't save/load first, the fighters do show up. If I save/load after this point, the kids end up circling over the final base, and I can't complete the mission, even if I finish everything else, since the kids never land. Anyways, once again, great campaign, and the good thing is I can still play the other missions beyond this one since they're all unlocked from the beginning.

Would this work well with the MP mod and another player?

Also, question re: mission 1. My wingman and I were almost out of ammo and Echo flight hadn't taken off from the city yet. I was looking at the log for other reasons and it said Echo 2 had crashed into terrain. Would have have affected it?

Oh also it might be nice to see the allowed equipment selection updated to include some of the (I assume) newer options for the F/A-26B.

Mission 3 seems to be the only one seriously bugged for me right now. Specifically if you quicksave and load said save at any point in the mission the Kestrel the player is supposed to protect will just proceed to it's next "waypoint" (I guess) and circle there. Before there's any hostile planes said waypoint will be the big mountain, it'll just keep circling there. If you save and load after the first wave of hostiles has spawned it'll continue to the airfield but just circle above that instead.

Aside from all that, if you like star wars this is probably the most hilarious campaign for this game. I enjoyed it very much! Especially that second "Death Camp" mission with those 6 fighters just spawning ahead of you and flying around you like in the movie... absolute masterpiece that one. xD

Hm. There have been lots of updates to AI as the game got closer to coming out of EA. I'll take a look this weekend.

The first mission is completely broken. The AV 42 isn't starting at all, while it lands in the city.

First i thought it is the quickloading bug, but after a try without quicksaving and quickloading same issue.

I destroy the AA with my wingman. I destroy all 25 tanks in the city. The objective is updating, but nothing happens after that. Even when i destroy the whole convoy outside the city.

Hello, I experienced the same "circling issue" on mission 3, on my first run, Echo 1 was circling endlessly around the big mountain, no enemy triggered, on my second run, Echo 1 passed the mountain, a first wave of 3 enemy fighters attacked, then we flew over an airbase and a second wave of enemy attacked from behind, after defeating this 2nd wave and getting back to Echo 1, he was circling endlessly around the airbase.

I seem to have an issue during Mission 4, where the *entire wing of allied fighters and bombers* will just straight up slam into the walls immediately after starting the trench run. Also, i don't know if Mk82 are actually *registering hits* on *anything* in the trench, both the bunker and the AA guns around it. Seems like I'm hitting them as dead center as possible and it just doesn't do anything, even after several passes. My guns seem to work just fine on the AA guns though, but I generally only get one or two more passes before the other guns (or the fighter up above) shred me.

Also, on Mission 3, i successfully made it to the airbase, landed, then went to the hangar, but it wouldn't count the mission as complete. Dunno if that's a bug or what.

Okay, i dont know where exactly, but it was over an airbase, right after shooting down the 2nd wave of enemy jets

I have experience the same issue as Paranoid on the 3rd mission. Echo 1 seems to go on a loop around that one particular mountain. It's typically right before the A2A intercept event gets triggered. I can't be sure because I didn't really do any thorough testing with it, but I suspect that maybe if you have some separation between you and the AV42 you're escorting and are not in the same area where the A2A event triggers as Echo 1, then it just might not be able to trigger at all.

Hey Paranoid, in the first mission you & your wingman have to kill a minimum number of ground units in the city before Echo 1 will take off. It's not the full 25 listed in the brief. But Echo won't take off until that is met.

For mission 3, there have been no changes and I can't see anything wrong. Where was the Echo 1 / AV42? Circling over a mountain or circling over the destination airbase?

So i had some issues, on the first mission i was flying slowly over that city waiting for the other aircraft to take off, but it never did.
On the 3rd mission, after i had shot down several aircrafts, the escort carrying the kids was just constantly flying in a circle, no enemies appearing

Any progress on the CAS objective getting stuck? These are just fantastic btw.

Wish I could take credit for the callouts, but the wingman voices credit goes to the developer. The only voices I get to do are the Command-type briefs! :) Super glad you're enjoying them! At some point here, I need to wrap up the AV-42C companion campaign!

love these missions man. im on deployment and i love how you include real call outs like magnum and rifle. makes it realistic. keep up the awesome work! ill look forward to more of your missions!

So I investigated and split the CAS objective with the Echo 1 landing for the extraction. Running it, it looks like AI pathing for Echo 1 is messed up. Echo 1 sometimes flies into the buildings to come in for a landing (wasn't the case before when I made the landing zone much wider). I've let the developer know to see if there's anything deeper in the AI code. Not sure what I can do other than moving the landing zone away from the city which kind of negates the point of the mission. Hang tight guys!

Ok, thanks guys. I'll take a look to see if a game update broke the mission.

I've got the same problem, no matter what I do the mission gets stuck on the CAS objective. This was on public test.

I played the first mission a couple of times and the objective to clear out the tanks in the city didn't complete either time. I've even made sure all enemy units (not just tanks) were destroyed. I"m running the most recent public (not testing) build of VTOL. This was a really satisfying mission to play and I'm looking forward to go through the rest!

Awesome, Clawie! Super glad you enjoyed it!

As already mentioned on reddit, the best campaign in VTOL VR, alot of fun and helps to learn the systems and weapons F/A 26 to use better. Alot of attention to detail, and a must play for any SkyWars fan
Thank you for this, and looking forward for the AV-42 campaign

Thanx.. That cannot be overemphasized... I will play around with this and hopefully I can get some footage up soon.. !!

No way to link in Spotify, but you can play it through your desktop and set the output to the rift headphones (I haven't done this).

To record gameplay, you can use OBS or StreamLabs OBS. Same software most streamers use. Cheers!

Ok... This game is Phucking Amazing... I just got gamer PC and Oculus Rift S on release date 5/21/19... I had been teased by videos on YouTube and my minimal experience on the PS4 with the 3 VR Missions on Ace Combat 7, which ultimately made me aware that there is no half-stepping for the full vr experience.. I was so amped to find the F-45 when I turned on VTOL VR today... I'm Thinking this "Steam Workshop" will allow for networking and I can hopefully move from Novice to Ace with a little direction...? I Test flew the F-45 from the new base and loved it.. Any suggestions on how to record gameplay or use Spotify in the MP3 Player..? Again, I am new to PC Gaming..? Thanx if anyone can assist...!! I've seen the Fyrcat Videos on YouTube too.. I think i subscribed...

Great! Yeah, when workshop came out this is the best way to ensure folks have the latest updates. Nice and automatic to push!

looking forward to it.
I was wonderung that your campaign disappeared from that website before the workshop came online. I was like pheew I made a copy on my HD, but then I saw your mission at the workshop :)
Anyway, thanks for the work, and I look forward playing your next ones :)

So glad to hear it, EFP055! I've got a companion campaign for the AV-42C called Sky Wars: Forgotten Heroes that I just can't seem to get across the finish line, but it's coming!

I really enjoyed this campaign!
