dburne Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Man oh man have I had a blast with both of these "Serpent" campaigns. I may have to hold off Mission 10 for a day or two just to make it last lol. Thanks so much for these great campaigns! Looking forward to your next one for sure.

JEFX Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Well, the Supercarrier would be fun, but you know that with the regular campaign, we get supercarrier comms from initial check all the way down to LSO and touch down!!! (Surely we need to own the SC).. That is great immersion, especially on the way back from Sukhumi, at night, with a CaseIII recovery!!! 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] In DCS I fly jets with thousands of pounds of thrust...

Padre Pio Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) Great Campaign! Just finished yesterday. Really nice idea for the last landing after succesful mission Generally I had no problem with anything, apart of annoying Mig-23 in 3rd mission. In fact, for 9th and 10th ones, some experience of FLIR handling is recommended, but I had trained it some time before and a lot of hours on A-10 Edited March 15, 2021 by Padre Pio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest it is well worth it. It adds so much to the immersion when operating the Hornet. The original SH2 was written before the supercarrier was even a thing. When the supercarrier was added the comms was also added into DCS generally as you say. This is why my comms are slightly at odds with the new supercarrier comms on the odd occasion. Have had to adapt these for the super carrier version of SH2. The follow on campaign which I have been working on for a year, “Rise of the Persian Lion”, will need the supercarrier and the Gulf map. It has 15 missions and over a thousand voice overs and once again written with VR in mind.

I will have to do them again when you have the supercarrier available. And I am really looking forward to your next one on the Persian Lion! Loved the ending also!!

So i bought the new one yesterday, and it's great too. Having an issue though. *Spoilers Ahead* In the first mission at the airshow, i shot down the two su-25s and made it back to the boat (on my fourth attempt )But now that ive landed and shut down, the mission wont end..I really dont want to have to do a fifth repeat. Any help? Did you get a confirmatory radio call letting you know all migs were down and instructions to get back to the Stennis or refuel? If so how did you shut down the game?
