Debriefing System in the Red Flag 81-2 F-4 Phantom Campaign

[@matk4731]

Man im HYPED for this campaign, ive purchased both your Mig Killers Campaign and your Speed and Angels Campaign and they have been both a BLAST, man I bet this campaign is gonna be another good one

[@mikeck4609]

I really appreciate your dedication towards realism, but also you’re understanding that we aren’t professional aviators and we aren’t really gonna be able to do this stuff right all the time. So, we can continue with the mission and complete it even if we mess up. We just pay for it in our points at the end. That’s a great way of doing things.

[@Apanos9]

That's it, I'm buying the Phantom when this is out!

[@whistlingchickenleg]

This is looking so 'kin good! Already getting hyped for the Germany map + Tornado + Reflected combo :)

[@Boots3862]

This looks like a thing of beauty! If you want do learn and get a real sense of how hard this all is in reality, it looks like this will do it. I can't wait! Thanks Reflected, as always, you rock!

[@tiger_1airsoft65]

Thank you for all your hard work. And thank you for being honest about how a certain (hopefully minority) react to adversity these days. I also hope that people who do not react like that give you and the other content creators enough positive energy to keep making us better.

[@groundpoundersimulations8317]

Sedlo is the man!

[@GMdrivingMOPARguy]

Really looking forward to this one. Honestly the procedures part is the one that sounds the most exciting to me

[@bikeguy3034]

As ex-military aircrew, I can assure you the mandatory debrief NEVER included what you did right - that is just expected. What it does do is dissect every error, poor decision or minor deviation (real or imagined by the IP) in great detail...good times lol. Oh, and you BETTER be taking notes on all those points to improve on!

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Imagine how happy players would be if I only highlighted what they messed up :D

[@TOMCATnbr]

​@@ReflectedSimulations debrief would be way longer 😅😂

[@Darkline27]

Dude!!! You are constantly innovating and pushing the standard and you DID NOT DISAPPOINT HERE!!! I cannot waitress once again. MiG killers taught me how to fly and fight the phantom pretty well. It’s definitely taught me that the phantom can turn with the best of them in the right hands .This is a perfect follow on

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks! Yes, the 2 campaigns will complement each other well. MK is all about dogfighting, this is about navigation, and A2G deliveries

[@patriciomassun]

Sounds amazing! I will buy it for sure!

[@Ares200A]

i soooo much want to get my hands on that inflight guide! outstanding work just from the outside looks of it! thy @ReflectedSimulations for bringing us another "full fidelity" campaign! 💓 Hope i can get the fuel management right, else my callsign might change to either "bingo", "fume/s" or "spiller"/"squ....ter" (sry YT algo)... bc i tend to need lots of tries for AAR XD

[@marcosavila8215]

I have to say i love when you give the hard love speech, putting people-users in their place about complaints, i couldn't agree more "somehow in today's world no one likes to assume responsibility..." that is so true, love you dude, no time for weak woke minded people! by the way i play in a rock band called bbuteo i know you are a stage lover like me, great work brother.

[@tengusimulations]

Time and time again , reflected picks up the neglected and underwhelming mission editor and comes up with something ridiculously good. Good job mate. Let me express my gratitude and my understanding for what you do. Looking forward to this camaign.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks! underwhelming, though? It's an amazing tool, provided everything works, of course :D

[@Crazy-Bear-Gamer-Channel]

I'm 100% sure this campaign will be another masterpiece! many thanks for these tutorials, they are and will be very useful to prepare me!

[@indianajon7980]

Can't wait for this one. Super excited

[@jawjaboy58]

More videos coming in the upcoming MONTHS?? Man, I was getting all giggity thinking release was IMMINENT!!! Can NOT WAIT for this one, the MIG Killers campaign was absolutely a BLAST! I savored EVERY mission, VERY well done!!!!

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks! I'm still waiting for some voice over lines. Then setting them up in game and testing again takes at least a month if not more, then ED also tests it for a month or so...

[@alfabravo2702]

I love your realistic approach in the campaigns.... I know that if I achieve your campaigns targets I'm going to became a better "realistic" sim pilot!!!!

[@Falckodotcom]

Looking forward to this new masterpiece campaign!

[@Devil-mn3dc]

Reflected, been looking for some USMC liveries for the Phantom. Were the Marine liveries in your video liveries you created? And are those liveries part of the campaign? Really need some Vietnam liveries for a project the boys and I have been working. Much appreciated.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

They will be included with the campaign, and also with Zone 5. They're not Vietnam era though.

[@Devil-mn3dc]

@@ReflectedSimulationsMuch appreciated man!!! I wish I could find a talented livery maker to do some. What software do you use to make you liveries? Multiple platforms to make them?

[@ReflectedSimulations]

@@Devil-mn3dc only photoshop

[@pyr0duck676]

I have legitimately become a better pilot in real life because of your campaigns. Following procedures, altitudes, speeds, and times is an essential part of real-life flying. So, if you can get good at Reflected's campaigns, real life flying where you don't have to worry about weapon deployment, getting shot down, aerobatics, tanking, etc. suddenly feels like a breeze.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks, happy to hear that!

[@seancolvin8545]

So I have the I have the Mig killer campaign, and I plan to get this one so which one to do first. This is going to be a lot of fun and nerves .

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Perhaps fly MiG Killers first, because it's already available, and also it teaches you a lot of basic handling too, that you can benefit from at Red Flag.

[@jep1103]

Excellent, loving the f4 mig campaign atm makes you work hard

[@m1tankva]

Looking forward to "gittin' good"!

[@MrSpinkser]

I like your attitude. Never bow to the whiners. However, I fear this campaign will exceed my talent big time….😅

[@MnemonicFliesDCS]

Sounds exciting! Looking forward!

[@AvrilToxic]

Don't screw the pooch lol...looking forward to checking this out

[@jfay8695]

Very cool! Is SEDLOs 300 AGL script available anywhere?

[@ReflectedSimulations]

You'll need to ask him ;)

[@TOMCATnbr]

It's truely amazing how you push boundaries of DCS with each new campaign. Do you think this kind of debriefing can be integrated on older campaigns, like Zone 5, or it will be way to much rework ?

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Not really ,that would mean a complete rework. Also, Zone 5 is only A2A that's fluid and dynamic. I can't really 'measure' your performance there.

[@TOMCATnbr]

​@@ReflectedSimulations OK thanks for you answer 😉

[@einweiesblattpapier2676]

The hype is real.

[@Lorian667]

Sounds like fun!

[@jtsmith9645]

Hi Reflected, I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the work you do. I'm enjoying your campaign's and share the same love for the cold war era, analog, aircraft and you've helped me to learn a ton about them. I've always wanted to learn the steps and process about how pilots put together a flight plan and worked out all the navigation before they even walked out to the flight line. So I'm looking forward to how you show that in this campaign. I wanted to ask if you planned on having in your upcoming campaign the paint scheme of the Navy's only ACE's in the Vietnam conflict, Cunningham and Driscoll's F-4J aircraft "Showtime 100" from VF-96? Another fun one might be the Marine's F-4J VMFA-451 Warlords "Bicentennial 1776-1976"? Just thought I'd ask. Anyway, I can't wait for this campaign to be release. I'm very excited for it and I wish you all the success with it!!! Cheers

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Hey, thanks! I'm not planning to include any skins that are not used in the campaign, there will be 2 for the F-4: VMFA-323 and the 336th TFS (player). It's set in 81, well past the Vietnam war.

[@jtsmith9645]

@ReflectedSimulations No worries, Im still excited for the new campaign. Thanks for your hard work and dedication. Maybe some day some will make those liveries. I just dont have the skills hahaha. Thank you again!

[@joegates7461]

Okay, I think I speak for all DCS players when I say “We DEMAND this campaign for the F-16 (A-10, F-15C, etc)”. Definite first day purchase!

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks, but there are already some Red Flag campaigns for those modules :)

[@fl398motorsports3]

100%... but they are not as cool as this!

[@billcedarheath387]

Will you revisit the other Red Flag campaigns and implement “Debrief” to them as well? I hope so. It’s an aspect that all of them should have as I see it.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks, but the other RF campaigns were not made by me, this is my first one.

[@billcedarheath387]

@ ah… the campaign lines get blurred. I don’t pay much attention to who makes/made what so much as I do with planes and terrain. Well, you have tapped in and made for a better version. Maybe it will serve as inspiration for others.

[@jejelerider3278]

Bonjour Reflected, First of all, thank you for your campaign and all the new stuff you put inside! Is the GiB guide you during the flight? I liked the F4 training mission by heatblur with the GiB saying: intercept the radial xx of tacan xx at xx angels and so on. So do we have to navigate by our self in this campaign or do the GiB does his job of guiding you to the target?

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Hey! Jester will help you to some extent, reminding you of some procedures and the nav plan, but according to SME-s and original training documents in my possession, as opposed to the F-14, the navigation is the pilot's job in the F-4. You're not a stick monkey ;)

[@jejelerider3278]

@ ahah ok, as usual with your campaign, we will have to know by heart the doc briefing. Good ☺️

[@ReflectedSimulations]

@ like in real life ;) but as I said, Jester will help you a bit. Just don't fully rely on him because it's your job, not his.

[@Ares200A]

in that training mission your GiB is your Trainer and not your WIZO, that is why he will "help you out" at telling you how to navigate. A WIZO could just dial in the next TCN on his TCN and push the cmd button et voila you would be on to the next (after dialing in the course etc). I guess IRL on fully crewed ferry flights the WIZO would also help navigating but any other time he/she is either nose down on the radar monitor or swiveling head for any SAM smoke trails ;) *just my assumption from things i read* cheers

[@ReflectedSimulations]

@@Ares200A You are right!

[@VonHoffnung]

in the mig killers campaign 1st mission debrief said 100, but nothing happened when I clicked the 'complete mission', and wouldn't let me progress. is this a bug, or something?

[@ReflectedSimulations]

run a repair, some sort of a corruption in the core of DCS. Make sure you don't have any unofficial mods installed.

[@Ghost-pz3uy]

Cool.

[@Rohrkrepierer]

Would it be possible to get a link to Sedlo's script with which you made the hard deck feature possible, or is this a proprietary solution you are not willing to share? Thanks!

[@ReflectedSimulations]

That would be up to Sedlo I think

[@Rohrkrepierer]

@@ReflectedSimulations Would you possibly be so kind and ask him for me, or would you prefer I ask him personally on the Forums? Cheers
