Raven One: upcoming DLC campaign for F/A-18 Hornet


Recommended Posts

Awesome! Will you have to wait until ED is (mostly) done with the Hornet before beginning development or will the campaign not include targeting pods and ground radar?

 

dead end for me but happy hunting for those who have this map :joystick:

 

It wasn't a limited edition or anything. The terrain detail in Iran alone is worth the price of admission. It makes the Nevada map look old (I still love Nevada btw). PG is ED's highest quality map, pick it up when you get a chance!

I will be working on it hoping that those things will be added. Anyway the development process of campaign of this kind takes between 6 to 9 months, so we should be OK on the Hornet updates front. And I'll work on an assumption that we'll get the TGP. On the other hand, many of the systems used don't need to be referenced in the campaign, it will be up to player to properly employ them, so it shouldn't be a show stopper!

Awesome News BD Really looking forward to your hornet campaign. Would be glad once the hornet is finished there will be a similar campaign as the one you are making for the A-10C for people who will learn and train the F/A-18C

I cannot exclude it, especially that I recently read a very good book about the whole process of learning to fly the Hornet “Bogeys and Bandits” and with Jell-o and Sunshine I have great experts that could add so much to the whole campaign. Great idea, Weasel!

Damnit. Now I will need to spend more money. :)

 

I really like the idea of bringing a book to life in an interactive sim. That’s genius. However, whenever they make movies from books everyone always says the book was better. There’s your goal... make the DLC campaign better :)

 

Now this gets me thinking... If they only had the B-25 and I could be Yossarian with some comical airmen throwing Nately’s “girl” out the plane because we just can’t stand her... maybe in the near future...

“Catch 22” for those of you who haven’t read the classic yet.

I would make you fly with the Texan airman from the hospital. And censor all your letters. Best regards, Irving Washington. ;)

 

Rennes, Unfortunately, the DCS does not support DLC campaigns that would be compatible with MP. However, we have a few ideas with the Fighter Pilot Podcast team and want to deliver quality content also on the multiplayer front. Stay tuned for more info.

Could be good and thanx. However I wouldn’t buy it until the Hornet has a tgp and tws.
The campaign would several months to develop due to it's complex nature. Let hope that many of these essential features for the Hornet would have come in then before the campaign is ready. Beside Baltic dragon mentioned that they would like some more features to be added before the campaign is done.

Perfect! Please finish the A-10C training campaign first (eagerly awaiting this one, for the old warhorse!), before you start working on the F/A-18 campaign.

Working on Iron Flag as we speak :) as I mentioned somewhere else, we had a long break due to unforeseen circumstances (mainly: new kids and hurricanes). I have no problem working on a few projects at the same time, keeps things interesting for me, and there always are delays on one (like Voiceovers, bugs etc) that allow me to jump to another. So fear not!

Hey BD, something based on "Bogeys and Bandits" would be awesome! Loved that book as well. Really looking forward to the Raven One campaign!

It is a great book and would be a good basis for a training campaign. Perhaps in the future when I finish the Iron Flag!

A small update - we finished working together with Kevin Miller on the list of 15 missions that will be included in the campaign, so the general outline is there. Also, with the help of Jell-O and Fighter Pilot Podcast team, we are preparing documentation, kneeboard and briefing templates to bring them as much as possible to those used in real life. List of voice actors for the main roles is practically ready. The skins for Ravens and Buccaneers, together with pilots with helmet decals and arm patches, are WiP with good progress (thanks komemiute!). Exciting times!
