Rudel_chw Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 You've got quite a collection there! ... :) Thanks, the only Campaigns that I dont play, are those that require the installation of Mods to play .. those are a pain to fly since frequently DCS's updates broke the Mods when you are on the middle of the Campaign, its very frustrating so I avoid them Cheers!

metzger Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 After mission one I am very optimistic, looks very promising. Mission 2 is another story, hopefully there are no more missions as a wingman as current AI level is erratic :D and brings more frustration than fun trying to fly formation with AI lead :/ [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQ Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Yes, #2 is a beast -- the AI flight behavior makes it very challenging. I think that was by design :) And no, there are no more missions that require you to fly formation. :) After mission one I am very optimistic, looks very promising.

metzger Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 It is not by design, it is bad AI, the same is Huey campaign. When AI climb he does only cyclic climb at last moment resulting in immediate loss of speed and when he finishes climbing he accelarate drastically. Add to that that he uses BFM and it is not possible to keep up with his turn/climb/accel performance. Anyway, the campaign really looks good done, similar to baltic_dragon's Mirage campaign. It is unfortunate that Vergeev project was abandoned for some reason. Thanks again for fixing it, as currently there is not many working content for ka-50 :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBQ Posted August 21, 2017 Author Share Posted August 21, 2017 Glad you're enjoying it! (except for second mission) I managed to keep up with the AI -- see this video: It is not by design, it is bad AI, the same is Huey campaign.

(except for second mission) I managed to keep up with the AI -- see this video: I managed to keep up enough to pass the mission as well. The point is not to fight with his flying as it is not fun but to keep good and steady formation :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holton181 Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Just a note about the (current) mission 3, and potentially others. During briefing if you go to mission planer all zones are visible, spoiling some of the fun.

the_soupdragon Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I have just tried flying this in 2.5 (as I really want to fly this in 2.5) but in the first mission I spawn in under a Georgia airways jet and explode. Looks like some tweaking is needed :( would really love to fly this campaign in 2.5 as it looks so great. SD [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The spawning together with AI should be fixed in that.

BBQ Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Almost done testing -- on mission 19. There were definitely some snags along the way, but I think I've got them sorted. Will post updated campaign link as soon as I'm done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally have it already thought, and I don't expect you to maintain both versions.

BBQ Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Okay, I've tested/fixed all of the missions to work with the current 2.5.0 version -- but I'm hesitant to post it for the following reasons: There are still some lighting issues, and some kind of video corruption with the water w/ deferred shading enabled. Because 3 or 4 of the missions take place over water, this is kind of a deal breaker for those using deferred shading -- and I don't want to waste time testing the missions all over again with the shading on, until at least the next hotfix/update. The good news is, the actual missions themselves are working (after I had to make a few tweaks, e.g., spawning inside of a jet at Sochi). So the Vergeev Group campaign will live on -- I'm just going to wait until the major bugs are squashed so that I can test it again for 2.5.0x so I don't have to repeat the effort (it takes a lot of time).

the_soupdragon Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Excellent work BBQ. I understand your retisance to release in a less than perfect condition but, could you not just release what you have and then update later? It would give us the choice to download them or not as the case may be. I would love to revisit these missions I can live with some visual bugs. Anyway looking forward to your release :thumbup: Cheers SD [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
