Wolfpack - Mission 9 - DCS: P-47 Campaign

[@DanBlake3rd]

Very immersive Greg. It's like flying a history lesson. Thanks very much for the attention to detail and all of the creative elements.

[@davtones]

Thank you for all the time, research, and work you put into your campaigns! Amazing job as always!

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks for the kind words

[@sandman11]

Really looking forward to this. Music is a great touch!

[@christopherchartier3017]

Gotta love the jug- arguably the best fighter in ww2

[@jep1103]

Very good indeed...hopefully mission 1 today for me

[@olddogg60]

Great job. Nice presentation and exciting to watch. 👍

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thank you :)

[@DerredmaxTRIAX]

Your understanding of MP throttle compensation prop pitch and boost is very impressive. I found your video highly entertaining and well thought out. Nicely done!!!!

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thank you!

[@THEQuantumBacon]

LOL You watched Greg’s Airplanes and Automobiles P-47 videos too? Not surprising! I rarely link boost and throttle now. This has quickly become my favorite warbird - and not just because my great uncle was a Jug pilot. Thanks for this great campaign!

[@ReflectedSimulations]

That too, but I remembered these things from the accu sim P-47 and B-17 back in fsx :)

[@Wolfpack345]

Oh wow this was awesome!

[@waltergreif4836]

brilliant job Reflected!!

[@ronaldwatson1951]

Very Good mission and fur ball the finger strategy to me looked good on paper but that's it. Loved how you managed engine and trim, learned alot, looking forward to joining the community soon. Outstanding video and a laptop not bad.

[@TheRealOriginalDiegoM]

One thing I’d say is don’t uncage your attitude indicator until you’re engines you and running

[@ReflectedSimulations]

'Ive been wondering about that too, but the manual say uncage it before engine start. You need to reset it after the first turn anyway :)

[@arthurambroise7894]

My mission 9: Curious and excited during the briefing while Zemke announces his daring fan innovation. En route, highly focused on flying a tight formation, managing my ship, regularly switching tank, going far into enemy territory, already expecting a tough trip back to base. No time to realize it, already caught in a massive dogfight, fighting for my life, getting my first kill, losing my wingman, receiving hits while trying to escape two 109’s on my tail. Escaping this chaos by miracle, now alone in the sky, with a crippled ship that cannot fly straight and level for more than 1 second. Going west, struggling to keep it flying, praying when Flak goes by. The Channel, will I make it? Fuel is low, I should ditch. Nah, would be too easy. Finally might be able to reach the airfield, going on. I see High Halden! Calling ATC, now in short final, I have to belly land, ship too unstable. I aim for the grass strip near the runway, almost stall it…. I give everything I got, I am down, alive. WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!! Thank you Reflected, this is as close as it can get!

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks for the combat report! That sounds a lot like what those young men experienced back then.

[@myZisfantastic]

Ho no! Well done now I've to buy it👍

[@chrishickman9738]

45:40 crossing the coast at "BOO-LONG" lol Otherwise a great vid :)

[@AviationandSimulation]

Pretty cool, Reflected. I'm still on my 6th mission. I am enjoying it a lot!

[@vondspatten]

Great campaign!!!,But remember to calibrate your attitude & horizon indicator!!! Son of 56th fighter group member,,,,Salute!

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks, will do! Salute!

[@jobu88]

I wish I had a PC that could run this game, it looks so amazing.

[@TOMCATnbr]

This look awesome, but I will definitely need some P47 practice on long time flight. Thanks for all the tips, especially the one for the external drop tanks (the 10min switch). I wasn't aware of that. This campaign will definitely be really helpful to help me master the Jug.

[@estebanlucas2483]

i realize it is quite randomly asking but do anyone know of a good place to watch newly released series online?

[@idrisarlo2200]

@Esteban Lucas flixportal :D

[@estebanlucas2483]

@Idris Arlo Thanks, signed up and it seems like a nice service :D I appreciate it!

[@idrisarlo2200]

@Esteban Lucas You are welcome :)

[@brittoncooke1890]

So torn, I really want to watch but I really don't want the spoilers :)

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Haha, then don't :) It's for those who are undecided still and want to see what the gameplay is like :)

[@jep1103]

Doesn't spoil anything...its a fighter sweep nothing really to spoil, provably changes every time u fly it anyways

[@ReflectedSimulations]

@@jep1103 Not really, the campaign recreates real life events based on original combat reports, to that's kind of the point :)

[@SVTL4799]

I hope you do a Hell Hawks campaign! That book is full of great missions!

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Thanks, I really have to read that book! BTW there is already one for Il2, although I haven't played it.

[@zumbooruk123]

I wish you coud do campagins like this for IL2-BOX aswel :)

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Yeah, it would be nice, but the mission editor there is much more limited.

[@zumbooruk123]

@@ReflectedSimulations Sadly yes and also very hard to learn 😞

[@krisjato]

Great video man, you earned my sub! I really want to play this or at least try it. I went to Steam and tried to download "DCS world", it's a free download so I assumed that I'm supposed to download that first and then I can order whichever software I want like this one or the F6F Hellcat or whatever. However, the download just keeps stopping for some reason. Is there something else that I need to do to be able to play this? Thanks for any information or help! And thank you for a great video! 🙂

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Hey thanks! Yes that’s the way it should work but I’m not too familiar with Steam

[@krisjato]

@@ReflectedSimulations No problem, I really enjoyed it! I don't know how well I would be able to play the game but I'd like to try. I posted a thread on Steam asking about it, I'm sure I'll figure it out. Thanks anyways!

[@cbz3237]

Looks great! Any chance it's coming to Steam?

[@BartMassee]

bbc channel . Classic!👍

[@oleole5208]

How much did it take you to master this aircraft? Like all the engine management details and whatnot and how do you remember all the steps

[@DecibeldB]

This is looking fun, can we use the campaign in multiplayer with friends?

[@ReflectedSimulations]

There are 2 coop missions included.

[@JetlinerX]

I want so badly to enjoy these missions but my main bearings are just popping ALL THE TIME. I have no clue whats wrong - if I go out of the green arcs (25RPM or 40MP) it takes maybe 2 seconds and the engine just starts knocking. Can anyone tell me whats up? I played the first mission, escorted bombers for an HOUR and then the first engagement I had the RPM went past 25 and pop - done.

[@ReflectedSimulations]

It can be several things: - you didn't warm up the engine properly - you didn't manage your temperatures properly - You overboosted the engine - used too much boost with too little RPM - You destroyed the bearings by using high RPM but not enough boost

[@JetlinerX]

@@ReflectedSimulations oh I wasn't aware RPM required boost! Thank you! My actual issue was I wasn't aware the RPM was automatic, so I had been CONSTANTLY adjusting the electric RPM with a joystick binding. Your takeoff and landing tutorial saved me a ton of headache. I still managed to pop the engine again in a dogfight on Mission 2 in a dive tho. Ugh, so much to learn. 😭 Edit: I guess the boost to RPM thing makes total sense. I'm just used to naturally aspirated engines where it's hard to get those things out of balance haha

[@jonridley]

I had some issues with the quick climb. Keeping the revs high had a tendency to bust the engine. I will try different engine settings and see what’s what. Hard plane to balance the engine. 😂

[@felippejonsson6078]

Looks fantastic! may i ask if there is some ground attack missions aswell

[@ReflectedSimulations]

There are some, but not a lot - these are missions that were actually flown in real life, and there weren't too many ground attacks. But after breaking off the bombers you can go down and strafe stuff ;)

[@felippejonsson6078]

@@ReflectedSimulations Sounds good 👍

[@ReflectedSimulations]

@@felippejonsson6078 After you fly those you'll wish they were escorts instead ;) Strafing an enemy airfield is the scariest job there is!

[@felippejonsson6078]

@@ReflectedSimulations Love the P-47 and youre previous work so its a must buy. I have not found it on steam yet, but thinking of switching to standalone anyway. Keep feeding us with great campaigns 😀

[@xiaohui6339]

if you are shot down, can you continue the mission instead of starting over?

[@ReflectedSimulations]

Like in real life. You can only continue if you make it back to frienldy territory or manage to contact air sea rescue.

[@fastfed]

Too bad it's not co-op

[@ReflectedSimulations]

As it happens, there is a coop version of this mission included in the campaign ;)

[@fastfed]

@@ReflectedSimulations holy crap this campaign is co-op ?? this would be the first and would more than likely make double the money a single only player campaign gets! not sure why its not advertised like that?? wait is this co-op? or are we talking about 1 lousy mission out of all of them?

[@ReflectedSimulations]

@@fastfed ​ Only 2'lousy' missions are available as coop, this is one of them. Problem is, it's not just a few clicks to turn a mission into a properly working coop, like many imagine it. Also, DCS is changing constantly. The AI behavior, the core code, everything. I have to work after every update to make sure all my missions work 100% with the latest version. Some people want a coop version. Some want an airstart version. Some want an easy version, etc...I'd end up having to keep 24/36/48 ...etc...missions up to date instead of 12 - and it's only one campaign. It's just not feasible. I decided to offer 2 of the missions as coop because some people asked for it, but that's all I can do.

[@fastfed]

@@ReflectedSimulations but 8f you made a full campaign and advertised it as coop you would be the first and I will put my money where my mouth is. I bet you make 50-100% more then any other campaign you made. If you made a campaign with the su25 as coop it would be the #1 seller.if not I will make up the difference . You don't realize how big multiplayer is. Make a 5 mission coop just to test and charge 19.99 for it. I still bet it will sell more than anything. Why not try it ???
