Operation Dixmude

Just had a quick skim of the background and the first couple of missions in the PDF (Mods\aircraft\SA342\Doc\OPERATION DIXMUDE_en.pdf). Don't want to spoil myself yet, but looks like something to look forward to. Seems like Polychop sims have put quite a lot of work in to it :)

And this also seemed promising: "This campaign is playable in multiplayer up to 4 people, up to mission 7."

Now I'm just torn if I should wait for the full release, or at least few patches before getting in to it (well, at least I have to wait until Gazelle comes out for the 1.5 as the campaign is based in the Caucasus).

The plan is to release the SA342 for the caucasus map next week.

Having played it and tested it...it is intense and amazing. BUT - you need to know the Gazelles systems pretty well before you start her. Especially navigation.

I guess thats why have her this week in Nevada :D to 'test and train'.

Can we expect atleast part of Dixmude in the patch next week?

You can expect the whole campaign to be there when 1.5.3 update comes out. Another thing that might help is practicing flying at night. If I recall correctly about 80% of the missions are at night.

oh that's great news! Still planned for next week?

Sounds good. I've been playing with the NADIR a bit today. And as it happens, also did some night flying :) Hopefully I can find someone to fly it with.

Well, it's up to ED so we don't really control that. But hoping so.

:music_whistling::megalol:

I know this team ;) BE Sure !

I FINALLY completed Mission 11 "Face to Face" in Operation Dixmude.

At the end, I got a message stating "Achievement Unlocked: This is MeatSPLASH"

What the heck does that mean ?

and

When Achievements have been Unlocked, where do we find them or see the results of them or ... whatever ?

It was a joke :cry:

Well I guess the joke was on me !

They could have at least given us another medal !! lol

By the way Dimitriov did you plan future Mission Content for the Gazelle when your able to speak about it currently?

Some Singelplayer Mission, with more then static Trucks would be appreciated..

It seems to me that "a Single Player Mission with more than static trucks" would be pretty simple to create one's self.

On the other hand, a new Single Player or Multi-player Campaign that allows strategic use of ALL Gazelle models and weapons would be very cool .... and not so easy for the average sim pilot to create.

As far as a single player mission goes, you can easily create an instant mission (and edit it to your liking) very easily in ME.

It's just my opinions. I am not stabbing at your's MAD-MM.

How much money would you spend in it ? :D

No plans currently. I may perhaps produce few missions this summer, and they would be available as "user files", not included in the module, but I won't promise. I think that if you played through Dixmude you can imagine that I usually spend few hours on missions, so as long as it would be on my free time, without any counterpart except nice smileys on the forums, it's still possible but not mandatory ^^

Add to it the fact that I don't really see how to make an interesting and realistic mission with the Mistral version anyway (in solo I mean), cause if I'm now an expert of the ground units AI (To become one, you must fill an entire wine bottle with tears), I don't really know about the aircraft AI.

But technically, I've already got a scenario for a 7 missions Campaigns which would begin right at the end of the Dixmude operation. It would be called 7 days, the script is already ready, as well as the characters...

Well you know what, I will make it, I'm gonna open a new thread. But don't expect the first mission before June.

I would help with more then Smileys

But think all other would be not familiar with ED NDA to say so...

But when I can help I any different way cuz I am here...

Thx Dimitriov

Mission12: No Mi24 to escort

Hello, I like to ask about the mission12 in the Dixmude campaign; There are no Mi24 to escort in the town gori.

Is it a DCS2.5 bug? In the debriefing there are no crashed Mi24 to see. I hear voices but can`t see them...

Where is the Apache located where I have to go to?

Thank you!

I changed the mission a little and that seems to be working for the most part.

The MI-24 was hidden and didn't land.

I solved that but what I didn't solve was Hannibal telling you it's time to go to the road junction.

So what you do after the MI-24 is parting at WP5, you fly to Kuraleti and fly over one of the trigger zones and then you fly to the road junction.

From there it's all evident.

Of course you must first backup your folder \Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor, because I don't wanna be responsible for loss of any progress.

Good luck

Thanks very much! I`m looking forward to fly this mission!

Thanks for editing the mission 12. I`m glad, the Mil-Mi is back:O)

I feel very happy to complete the Operation Dixmude Campaign, now. Thanks for the work. The campaign and the end was great -and also a pleasure to fly. I enjoyed it very much!!!

Thanks for the response :)

For me, it was pretty frustrating too, not being able to finish the campaign after so many hours, so when I finally heard the ending music it felt like victory.

I stuck in mission 11 Face to Face:

After Meatball was shut down, I am forced to RTB as quick and low as possible. But every time I get shut on the way back to WP 5 although I stayed beyond 10m.

Is there some trick to be not shut down?

I also stopped and get into a hover, like the russians said over the radio, but that also didn't work.

You've got to be *fast*! I got shot up pretty bad too, they took out my pilot and I was forced to fly from the left seat. After that I kept my speed over 200 km/h and did not take any more hits.
