DCS World: Close Air Support | F/A-18C Hornet Campaign Mission #2

[@xmlthegreat]

One thing that always strikes me is how gorgeous this game is. The exterior cam views, especially after the drops, freaking beautiful.

[@MrBooterbaugh]

That intro lmao they won't let you finish so rude

[@goreoproductions6955]

Yes! Can you do DCS more frequently please?

[@averymediocrepigeon1260]

*2, mud spike*

[@jettstorm2253]

Gooodaay ladies an- *TWO, MUDSPIKE 11 O’CLOCK*

[@welshzecorgi7903]

Some still say that 2, mudspike, 11'o clock to this very day.

[@slay22497]

Utilize those two radio volume knobs right in front of you Magz. 🙃

[@ace529321]

Yes!

[@Bloodrayne800]

When I recently did this campaign, this mission was covered in fog at the carrier and the AO

[@opticFPV]

Same here, was completely impossible to see anything

[@oneill6291]

You can move the mission folder out of the folder it is in and put it in a folder to create yourself, say on the desktop. Then you can go in and edit it to get rid of the fog. I beleive it's a bug from the latest update.

[@LoenDebr]

That intro, I'm done 😂😂

[@sirtaytentheboss2141]

I nearly had a stroke reading the the date in the beginning. In America it’s month, day year and I sat here for a few minutes trying to figure out what our 13 month is lol

[@Buggerthecavalry]

Why the “dud” cue on the HUD on run-in? Did you fuse them?

[@TheTrisiP]

nope, he didn't fuze them (can see it on the AMPCD at around 7:33). Also these are not Mk82, they are CBU99

[@ryu1940]

I wish we saw more period aircraft like the A-6 and A-7! This mini campaign has been fun though.

[@danieldorn2927]

Also: Make it a habit to go full afterburner on touch down when landing on the carrier - if you are bolting every second counts

[@Laerei]

Been trying to do this mission for hours today. F-14s fail spectacularly at fighting the Migs and get shot to pieces leaving them free to harass me all day, meanwhile the other flight don't scratch a single AA station and my wingman gets shot down before even delivering a single bomb...

[@tophmcgoph9229]

Exactly same issue I am having except I've been trying this mission for about 2 weeks (about 30 trys all together)

[@Beaver.17]

​@@tophmcgoph9229Can confirm trying it multiple times yesterday (5 tries), Shield and SEAD are on their own program. Even if they take out the SA-6s, the SA-9s in the convoy pack make quick work of me inside 2 miles. They must have made changes to the AI over time, because the way this guy strolls onto the target is not how it plays now.

[@Asdtable]

I like how this series is basically the video game top gun

[@Capt_OscarMike]

SO rude to interrupt the GREAT MAGZ... well done sir, well done indeed!!!

[@Bloodrayne800]

When I recently did this campaign, this mission was covered in fog at the carrier and the AO and my team didn't pop smoke

[@Hopperproductions1]

i just read you can fix it in the mission editor. It happened when they updated the cloud system

[@Brausepaul1977]

@@Hopperproductions1 Where did you read it? I noticed the fog as well but I am curious if I have to fix the smoke as well.

[@stevegoesrogue]

Great video as always, Mags! Also what was up with that Tomcat on the left at 13:14? Looked like he was floating or hovering during the outro.

[@MagzGTV]

Old tomcat AI model has some glitches, When the new one comes in along with the Tomcat module they will be replaced.

[@chavyflos6311]

Oh man, they updated the cloud system on this mission and I can't 💣 anything lol, the whole river area is inside clouds.

[@xXxXENcoreXxXx]

you can fix it manually from mision editor.

[@billradloff1919]

How you do ALWAYS get AI trying to land on top of you, Magz? I think it may be time to go have a chat with the flight director and LSO...preferably with the nearest long, solid object (a pipe will work nicely) :D

[@Colmcille_]

That into was fucking badass mate!

[@Cris-xy2gi]

Wingman: 2, Spike, 11-o- Magz: SHUT THE FUCK UP, I KNOW

[@ronaldwatson1951]

Good straight forward mission.

[@lycon7000]

Best intro ever :D Also what does mudspike mean?

[@PUCK202]

lycon7000 a radar signature has found you from the ground

[@MajorMorrozov]

I absolutely would engage a bmp with guns things have 8-15mm armour.

[@yogiparashara4016]

Great DCs video mate 👍

[@hmabboud]

Very nice video :)

[@FirstDagger]

Personally I do not mind if you mix up your content, first watched your DCS videos but stayed for Cold Waters and Bomber crew. Also couldn't you have muted the Radio in the Hornet?

[@MagzGTV]

Of course, but then I couldn't hear what was being said, So when my Wingman calls a missile launch I wouldn't know and then I woudl die. You can mute just about any sound in the cockpit of an aircraft, but doing so is a great way to get yourself killed fast.

[@horuslupercal3872]

F14 preordered let's GOOOO!!!

[@ace529321]

I'm a little late to the party but volume knobs to the left or front

[@EdadTace]

Why did you have a canopy warning on your left DDI at the end? Did you accidentally slightly open the canopy?

[@Aolen75]

Hey Magz great Video really enjoyed it. I was just wondering out of curiosity as i have had this happen to me also,did you ask for permission to land when returning to the Carrier? I have made a couple of missions myself that involve multiple A.I aircraft returning to the carrier and it doesn't seem to matter if i ask permission to land or not they seem to land like they have precedence over my aircraft.I always thought i was doing something wrong in the editor.

[@MagzGTV]

Yes I had permission to land and as you saw I didn't get a wave off when the tomcat came strolling in so the approach was mine.

[@davidmariopratt]

can one set up an account with DCS, then once learned.. go and dig fight anyone on line? Join a group, play with others, and or do your own thing? Is this open to the user?

[@nicktune1219]

Important question. Should I buy the hornet or the tomcat? I'm leaning toward the tomcat but I'm still not sure.

[@malusignatius]

Personally, I'd go for the Tomcat too, but both are going to be good buys.

[@batteredskullsummit9854]

Both, but basically: Tomcat is tougher to fly/learn, but more powerful in air to air, Hornet is better at ground attack and easier to fly/learn, and has a lot more functionality in terms of electronics etc. So if you want to do air to air and want a challenge, Tomcat. If you want easier to fly and groundpound, Hornet. But honestly, get both when you can.

[@hc-nj3ve]

What settings are you using for graphics? Any mods at all? Great video btw!

[@Manarinni]

Does anybody knows why do I have clouds allover the place? I cannot see the targets at all...

[@xXxXENcoreXxXx]

you can fix it manually from mision editor.

[@techfusionaz2496]

Any word on the potential of the F/A18 Super Hornet coming to DCS?

[@MagzGTV]

Superbug is still in pretty new by the standards of DCS, I wouldn't be expecting a module on it for quite some time.

[@hanzandfranz5337]

Whenever I do this mission I get everything running smoothly until the run on the bmp's, than everyone and their grandma decides I'm their target. Can't even get close enough to drop bombs on them before getting shot out of the sky with pinpoint accuracy. Any advice on this?

[@sefin84]

I have the same problem man. I just dont know what to do. I even finally learned how to use countmeaseures and evades sam rocktes which I find currious that it target me out of those many F14 flying not that far infront of me! Then I try to kill BMPs and they shoot me me to shit when I approach on them. Its like WTF? I know I am noob, but first mission was kind of very easy and second one is like a nightmare :D

[@hanzandfranz5337]

@@sefin84 exactly. I honestly have no idea. I can evade the sams and guns but I can't get a stable enough approach to drop the bombs without getting shot

[@sefin84]

I did it with the try after my post :D I waited a bit on carrier then joined behind F14s. I had 20k alt and when I approached target I did aggressive dive and released the whole payload on BTRs. I didnt get too low and this time they didnt shoot at me. Now I have the same problem with mission 3 :D But I guess I will do it in the same approach as the mission is very similar to mission 2. Good luck!

[@hanzandfranz5337]

@@sefin84 oh! I'll definitely have to try that. Thanks for the advice. Good luck with mission 3

[@mcsimracing7308]

I am a DCS Noob. The circular screen on the left DDI. I can get it up by selecting EW but I don’t get anything on it or any alerts/warnings. Have I missed a setting to display the radar sources being displayed?

[@Katerle1981]

How long did it take to know all the settings for the displays in the plane ? ^^

[@MagzGTV]

Not long, the Hornet is pretty user friendly.

[@Katerle1981]

@@MagzGTV I keep that in mind when i buy planes :) btw. awesome work with your videos :)

[@chocokingchocolate1273]

do you think that modern air combat looks like this in real life?

[@MagzGTV]

Not far from it, The whole point of DCS is to be as close to reality as is possible.

[@ELO_BOTT]

Ya idk if you have fixed this problem but you should turn down there voice to keep yours up

[@LockDCS]

What happened to the Sea Dragon Campaign?

[@MagzGTV]

It's coming back but slightly different, I'm in the process of converting the whole campaign to co-op.
