FA-18C Raven One Campaign

Good Day!

I am really excited about the upcomming Hornet Campaign based on Kevin Millers book with Jello and Sunshine as SMEs.

Are there any Little tidbids to share?

I guess release in earnest when the Bug is feature complete?

Thanks, I really looking forward to it.

Hey! Happy to share more info about this, I think most of it is on my Facebook page (link in the sig). The development time will take between 6-9 months and also will be linked to the progress made on the Hornet.

I will soon release the list of voice actors and roles they will play - which may be an interesting list ;) we’re also hard at work on adapting the book to DCS as there are things that will need to be changed (like the missions over Iraq that won’t be possible to recreate over there due to limitations of the PG map).

Stay tuned for more infor!

Thank you Sir!

Raven One, cool... I enjoyed reading that book. Thanks!

+1

With so much BD content to look forwards to, 2020 is looking like Year of the Dragon.

Thanks! On mission 9 out of 15 now.

Great! :thumbup: i will buy it when it´s out!

just finished Mission 5. really nice twist.

Hello Guys. Been looking all over for some help as the frustration is getting to me.

Hoping to finally get an answer here.

I'm having an issue on mission 3. I've flown it a dozen times and can't seem to drop the J-28 on target. It consistently falls just beyond the compound wall in the same location every time.

Aside from the LAT LON coordinates given, I don't understand the rest of the instructions and can't figure out if he is giving the Elevation somewhere and I'm just missing it. I read the documentation that come with the campaign, but it's basically just a glossary of words.

I'm also only given 6 by 6 coordinates instead of 8 by 8, again, not sure if I'm missing something.

I even bought the book hoping it will help me understand some of the phraseology. I do like the Idea of reading the book and then flying some missions, it's definitely something new, but I am a bit of a perfectionist and want to complete all the tasks I can by myself, hence re-flying the mission over and over trying to hit the compound myself. But I can't find the missing link, and I would now really like to complete this mission and start moving on...

So help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Do you have a litening pod on board? If so try using it to fine tune the target designation. Remember to put the j-28 into TOO mode

I missed the first time, but it was because I dropped late. The second time I hit it. I used PP mode and entered the seventh and eighth digits as zeroes for both lat and long. Hope that helps.

I've also been using zeros after the given coordinates. I'll give it another try just now. Thanks.

I created a steerpoint using the coordinates given by the jtac and then refined the aimpoint with the tgp.
