since i was doing this while the people i were playing with took a break i didnt get anywhere but on the first mission do you really need to practise landing or can i skip that bit i have practised landing plenty so id just rather not do it

The upgrade is still in progress. I am hoping to finish in the next week or so, I will message here and on Reddit Vtol VR channel when its complete.

Hi,
already played it as one of my first modded campaigns.

Title says "UPGRADED", description that it is still being upgraded.
Is the upgrade already being done or still WIP?

Upgrade sounds good, guess I would replay then :)

Thanks for all the comments good and bad. This was one of my early campaigns and I appreciate there were a few clunky bits. However there are huge constraints within the vtol editor meaning sometimes you just have to use your imagination a little bit. 🙏🏻😀

It's not a bad campaign, but could do with some tweaking. The MS Sam AI voice is rather grating, there are few targets and fewer that pose any challenge, the carrier group likes to position themselves needlessly far away from them, with oversaturated friendly AI presence who will easily take care of all of them for you anyway.

The "civillian airliner" (shows up on the TSD as a hostile B-11) towards the end of one mission will get shot down by friendlies every time, preventing mission completion.

In at least two missions when you need to find a target by being given the bearing from a particular friendly cruiser, there's no indication of who/where they are. You have to ring them up on the comms and request a vertical landing to get their position, which is rather silly and awkward.

Sorry, but I don’t get why this campaign has such a high rating. Some of the mission targets were buggy, so the mission couldn’t continue. The flight time is quite long and the targets are pretty easy and boring.

There are so many other great campaigns out there!

But maybe this campaign is good for beginners.

Loved this single player campaign one of my favourites so far, do you know if you intend to ever turn this into a multiplayer campaign.......

IS THIS AN OVERSIMPLIFIED REFERENCE!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!1111

Hello Judge,

I tried playing this campaign, however, I don't think I can't get past the first mission when I'm tasked to join with the bombers; the waypoint points to an empty space in the level and the bomber is nowhere to be seen.

Is this, perhaps, a bug of sorts or am I missing something very obvious?

Thanks.

Enjoyed the missions but disliked how enemies weren't spawned into the game until i hit some trigger that i can't see, like trying to find the nimbus (might be wrong name) where I'm following the bearing scanning with the targeting thingy thinking I'm looking at the wrong 180 until it magically appears. The scouting obj on mission 5 (I think, the 1st daytime landing) had the same issue, or maybe I just couldn't find the rocket guys but I was looking pretty hard.

Overall pretty fun

After playing your Artemis campaign I decided to try more of your content. This campaign piqued my curiosity due to being for the F-45A, I had no prior experience with the said aircraft.

The campaign is amazing, very well-crafted and easy to follow, if you liked Artemis campaign you'd like this one also.

Long missions with good story telling and affordable and realistic objectives.

Thank Judge Dredd for your work!

Appreciate you making a campaign with my map! Definitely going to check it out soon :)

@Boarnoah thanks for the comments I'm glad you enjoyed the missions

Excellent campaign, the effort put into it with multiple other flights operating at the same time adds a great deal to the atmosphere. Also liked the great mix of hitting pre-planned objectives & unexpected threats that happen mid mission.

Thanks for fast reply. Will try again when my controllers are charged :D

Captain in the first mission fly towards the waypoint north of the carrier, there should be a b11 bomber heading from your ahead right in a westerly direction , form up close on that aircraft and follow.

I was having issues on the first mission when told to fly by Vulcan 607 (I think that's the name of it), I couldn't figure out which plane was the Vulcan. Any advice? I just finished the second mission and wow, I'm loving this campaign so far.

Played through this over the weekend. Absolutely loved every minute of it, very immersive with all the other things going on around you each mission. Well done!

These are fairly easy missions, are you sure you are not firing missiles from too far ? For fire and forget ground missiles, the "shoot" voice only means the visual lock is acquired by the missile. You also have to check the range, it is the vertical bar bottom right of the HUD, get closer until the > symbol goes into the wide bar part for a sure shot.

For laser guided bombs, you have to maintain your TGP/EOTS on the target, and make sure to sure to let enough altitude otherwise the guiding part will not be enough. Firing when diamond inside the smaller circle is best.

i find this game fun but difficult. i can never shoot anything down or blow anything up on the ground. is it possible to make a copy and paste of this where the ai enemy cant shoot me down?

Redoing the mission 3 it worked, I could complete the campaign. Had just a similar issue at mission 5 San Carlos Landings, the AV-42C only circled around the boat to rescue. Restarting the mission worked.
Maybe it is beacause I call for the boat to land, so I see which one it is, then I cancled the landing but this seems to make the AV-42C stuck. A bit annoying but it is ok.

My review for the campaign: fairly easy, very detailed, and very immersive so I learned a few things about the Falklands conflict.

Now I would like to switch sides and pilot the Etandards and launch the famous Exocet :)

Interesting work, I could complete missions 1, 2, and 4 for now.
I have an issue with mission 3 HMS SHEFFIELD: after ennemy aircraft are down, the AV-42C comes while I dutyfuly keep the Sheffield locked in TGP pod, but then it circles around forever and do not land on the Sheffield ?

Over 2500 have subscribed thank you 🙏 to all. Now features moving carriers when landing 😃

LordPJC thanks for the feedback. In terms of the av42 not landing I did find you can can fix on the wrong ‘thing’’ on the deck which does not trigger the circling av42 to land. I will take another look to see if I can make the trigger more robust. I will also look at the refuelling glitch and see if I can fix. As for the moving carrier that’s a fair point. I have been thinking about updating with a few tweaks across the missions so may incorporate a moving carrier group.

PS. Was able to lock up on Atlantic Conveyor using TSD. But then could not complete the refuelling objective as the tanker was going round in a tight circle.

Great work on this. Thoroughly enjoying this. Two small points - mission 6, having targeted Atlantic Conveyor the Kestrel already on the deck didn't move, and the other just kept circling. The other issue is more general to query why the task force carrier is stationary along with its escorts. Rr Admiral Woodward would have kept on the move!

That’s the 2000 download milestone passed 😎 thanks to all those who have downloaded and added a rating or comment 🙏

Thenlar thanks for the comments I’m glad you enjoyed the campaign. I don’t like stupid hard campaigns myself. Sorry about the saves.

Fun campaign! Looks like Quick Saving is limited times per map? That would have been nice to know before I blew all my saves early in a map and then fucked up a carrier landing and had to repeat 20 minutes of mission. XD

That aside, I really did enjoy this campaign. A nice mix of objectives within each sortie, and without hair-pulling difficulty. Well done!

Hi, I was about to start this campaign with a few friends but once we had loaded in they were stuck inside of the other planes on the deck causing them to not be able to do anything with their controllers

This is amazing great work

Will take a look at mission 6 end and see if I can find the issue

Hi, mission 6 (Goose Green) when I have to rtb at exactly 5 nm from carrier the game becomes so unstable that I can't play anymore. The game isn't crashing and when I reload my save it becomes stable again, but becomes unstable again when retrying to land (vtol or normal). Pretty frustrating to do all objectives and game going wild suddently at the end and becomes unplayable.
That's too bad because missions are really well done and I had a great time before this occurs. Can you try to look into this ? Thanks !

Final mission objective 5 c.a.p not completing issue is fixed.

Great series of missions. Thanks.

I can verify that the two Kestrels never seem to land on the damaged assault carrier when using TGP but I just moved on after a while and the mission completed anyway.

I can also verify the mission 7 problem with obj 5 CAP waypoint not being marked as completed. Not a total show stopper as the next objective did open up and I was able to finish the mission and got the audio file congratulations. I does stop the mission from being labeled as completed though but since it's the last mission, there aren't any significant consequences to that except not getting 100% completion status.

Hello, I tried to do the third mission. But ended getting stuck on the objective where it says "find and intercept aircraft entering tez and after flying around for 30 mins, Looking through my radar and situation display trying to figure out what you wanted me to intercept finally gave up. I flew through the objective waypoint 2 times. Only thing i was able to find was a bunch of av42's 2 bombers and the refuel aircraft.

aalecci9 I will look into that

On the last mission I get stuck on objective 5 which is to go to the east waypoint and do a CAP. The objective waypoint is on the ocean surface and doesn't mark as complete but the final objective, land at the airfield, pops up and does mark as complete when I land. But because the CAP objective never triggers, I can't get a completed mission screen.

Actually i'm not certain myself on that one, but there is an auto refuel mod available...

https://vtolvr-mods.com/mod/dm4vwzc3/

I haven't tried it myself but knowing how good those mod guys are i'm sure it will work fine.

Great little mod. I'm struggling with the mid-air refuel. Can get it hooked up by trying to feather the throttle is super difficult. Does the F-45 have a speed autopilot that I haven't found?

bubba bui, I cannot re-create your problem? After your first circuit, take off again and head North, Vulcan 607 (B-11) will be crossing ahead tracking West, initially at 6000 feet flying at 450 knots.

The first mission

Bubba bui which mission are you talking about?

I can't find vulcan 2 for the life of me

No problems, thanks to you...the Campaign is awesome!

ironbostik - Mission 6 bugs fixed, thanks again for your patience and reporting

You were right....pointing it with TSD assited into unlocking the objective...problem is that next objective seems bugged too...I tried to destroy the spy plane...but after 3 IR missiles and a good amount of gun shells wasn't going down. :D

I will take a look, have you tried using your TSD to locate the ship? It should work with either tgp or tsd though.

Goose Green, the last one you posted!
I receive the order to find with TGP the striken vessel and I find it, orbit around it with TGP pointed, then two small warshhips arrive close but nothing happens, so I usually end up Bingo and have to land

Ironbostik which mission is that?
