Great intro. The FAA has been asking for you to call them about that near collision on the runway while landing. They sound mad.

[@TomP-148]

I declared the runway so he almost hit me.

Thanks for the video, your performance is perfect! I would like to tell you that my FCR update for all missions is included in the next DCS update, unfortunately this will happen at the end of February. And this update will fix a critical error in mission 11. I would like to ask you to skip mission 11 until the next DCS update Right now I'm working on a new campaign for Apache! And I take into account your remarks, comments and wishes!! Have a nice flight sir!

[@TomP-148]

Hey! Thanks for the comment and info. If I could change anything it would be a few things so far since I'm only 3 missions in. 1: The first mission with the Tarawa being so far away. I would move it closer, there's one the ch-47s land on that's a lot closer which would be nice. I played this awhile back but after that flight I stopped playing it and I know others did as well. I'm giving the campaign a chance again obviously. 2: AI wingman distance. I would have the AI stay within X amount of distance, or give them commands, "engage my target" I know DCS AI can be a nightmare. 3: Have AI that shoot call out their shots, i.e "Rifle" that way when the CMWS goes off you know it's friendly. Again thanks for watching; looking forward to the next missions.

@@TomP-148 Yes, thank you. I am studying your comments. In my new campaigns I use standard wingman control via the radio menu. The option in this campaign is experimental, and I decided to abandon it. The radio menu is a more flexible tool, although the AI has no less problems there. The problem of long flights is clear to me, and in the following campaigns you will not have to waste your time on flights. This was an attempt to get closer to realism, and in the following campaigns I optimized this process.

@@TomP-148 "Rifle" is an important note. I wish I had seen this coming. But I'm learning and every campaign gets better! Thanks for your reviews, it helps a lot!

I thought that helicopter had some round sensor array above the rotor? So you could hide behind a hill, pop up enough to scan the area, then launch missiles behind cover?

[@TomP-148]

Wasn't an option at the time of the video. I'm not really using it much in DCS.

[@Malvok]

@@TomP-148 I hope it gets added. I used to play Janes Longbow 2 long ago and I'm now setting everything up to play with the DCS version.

[@TomP-148]

@@Malvok it's added. I have a video on it

[@ivaniuk123]

The FCR is added, in the earlier version of the campaign all of your 64s had it then they updated it and none of them were equipped. Probably because because at that time the FCR was non functional.

[@WhiskeyHunterVAT69]

@@Malvok Hey, glad to see I'm not the only one. Loved that game/sim. where all your controls serial connectors? Old school rule... LoL

[@JeronimoStilton14]

3:10 I wasn't aware you taxi'd a helicopter anywhere. Is that not against the entire operating premise of a helicopter lol

[@TomP-148]

Avoiding the non-existent rotor wash so I don't launch other helicopter blades and damage their rotorheads

[@erazorDev]

Do you use a stick extension?

[@TomP-148]

I don't
