Just wanna share with you...

... the satisfaction for successfully completing the first mission where I used every single skill a Hornet pilot must know, from cold start to shut down, passing through cat launch, air refueling and trap! :)

Too bad tracks always get corrupted....

Congratulations, well done.

Congratulations, I can understand your feeling of accomplishment.

If you want to multiply that, stick your nose into DCS multiplayer.

It feels quite an achievement to do what you described on a public hardcore server like 104th, Buddyspike, DDCS an alike - add flying tactical formation in a flight of human pilots, manage comms and multiple radios via SRS, build situational awareness from pilots' calls in addition to AI AWACS plus ideally human GCI, hit ground targets, then switch to air-to-air, down a human opponent while keeping up mutual support with your wingies, make it back to the boat in formation after refueling simultaneously on a tanker with other fighters, then do a carrier break with other clients ahead and/or behind and when finally shutdown on deck, chat away about the flight in Teamspeak or Discord while watching others trap or hurry to rearm/refuel to go up again.

Thanks guys!

I'll definitely give MP a go, as soon as I feel more confident (and I learn a bit more about how the various servers work).
