DCS: First In - Weasels Over Syria Mission 5 Walkthrough

[@lasselahti4056]

This campaing was really good. I am pretty new to f-16, bought it abot 6 months ago. Have played some SP, but as you know all there is pretty few of em. Had pretty high learning curve, as i am also pretty new to dcs (1 year of fc3 + 1 year of HF mods), but this made me use those systems in f-16 that I have more or less went around before AND it also teaches some of the lately implemented stuff (like TDOA). Or more likely explains itself how that stuff works in group, even without multiplayer. Still the best fealing I got from the fact that I could play trough a campaing, that I first totally "oh-no maby too much new stuff in one package to manage". But I played it trouugh, and now I am hero of myself :D wohoo! Dunno could I say this was the hardest campaing that I have played, maby by the need of using the systems of f-16, but this also teaches that not every mission is everytime succes, sometimes just for luck. (like did they shoot you in that very moment etc). My english is bad as I am Finnish. Sry bout that.

[@Chibbs.E]

When I saw that Humvee on the ramp, all I can think of are the rocks from his tires dropping creating all kinds of FOD...

Got a good laugh out of the sierra hotel check 😂

[@daniellondon8310]

Can you give an explanation for some of the Vacuum radio calls, for example at 44:55, "All players, 6 awake, Portal 141 for 92, loose." I'm assuming "All players" = everyone listening and "6 awake" = SA-6, but I'm unsure what the portal calls are for and the loose call. Thanks in advance.

[@BogeyDope]

"6Awake" means an SA-6 is emitting. "Portal 141 for 92" is a bearing and distance from Bullseye. "Loose" means the location of the SA-6 is not exact. GroundPounderSimulations gives a good overview here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q5K5p2iKiqx2ja8 Hope this helps.

Your wingman mentioned some armor and SHORAD between the 2 threat rings of SAMs, are there any repercussions down the line if you take the SHORAD out in this mission?

[@BogeyDope]

I haven't gotten past this mission, so I'm not sure if there are repercussions in the next few missions.

[@DefinitelyNotIU]

@@BogeyDope Oh, got it. Thanks for the awesome videos and for answering as well.

[@marcok.9236]

Hi Bogey Dope, as always, a very successful video, fun to watch. I'm also impressed by the graphics, how do you get such a clear picture at this resolution? What are your settings in DCS? I have a 3070ti and at that resolution and 120Hz the picture is pretty blurry... The images don't run smoothly at higher resolutions. Do you have any ideas?

[@BogeyDope]

I apologize. I have corrected the description. I recently got a new monitor and the resolution is now 3440x1440 at 144hz. Though I'm not getting 144fps that's for sure. I think I currently get around 90fps on this new resolution. All videos previous to this one are 2560x1440 at 120hz. And I was getting about 120fps then. Same PC hardware. As for the blurriness. My only assumption is my reshade that is making things look clearer and more sharp. I made a video about it a while back. The installer looks a little different, but the procedure is the same and my reshade settings haven't changed to this day from what I show in the video. I go over it all here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/i3jbmHdvfLOJhNk

[@marcok.9236]

Thanks for your fast reply. I will try it with the resolution of 2560x1440 @120Hz and additionally reshade. I Hope I will get a better performance due to the lower resulution and a better graphic with reshade. I will report 😉

[@ArmChairPilot.]

If you haven't played them yet missions 6 and 7 are really fun.

[@pn0170]

how do you know where spot 11 is after landing? is there a protocol implying the location similar to how runway numbers imply the bearings?

[@BogeyDope]

I just went back to the spot I started up from. If you open the Mission Editor and look at H4, it will show the spots. I'm just assuming Spot 11 is where I started up from.

[@groundpoundersimulations8317]

You'll find them listed in the SPINS document as well.

[@spooncreation7405]

[@jenslundinbyh8845]

I only managed to score 89 on this mission. I dont know why looking at the scoring template. Might be something to do with that location bugs linked. What do I need to do there really?

[@BogeyDope]

I got 100% in this video. I don't believe the SHORAD in between Palmyra and Tiyas is required for a score (according to the score guide) because I didn't do anything other than hear BUG call it out. All I did was get Vacuum to capture three SA-6s. One at Tiyas, One at the mines, and one at Palmyra. I know the guide says "enter MEZ" but I think you have to stay long enough for Vacuum to capture the SA radar before you get the points. I think. I would have to reach out to ground pounder sims to find out for sure.

[@jenslundinbyh8845]

Thanks! I really appreciate the series you do for this campaign. I have used it, first i fly the mission and then I watch your video to see what I could have done better.

[@BogeyDope]

I'm glad they're helpful! @@jenslundinbyh8845

[@GeeMacViper]

Hey BD great video but turn your threat warning audio down please. The constant intermittent beeping is driving me mad 😂😂 on these long missions
