Amazing idea for the mission, not expected emotions around the sim like that... I remember RO1 when your buddy got hypoxia heading into Iran, playing it in VR makes similar, hard to describe, feeling...
Awesome video! It’s fun to play the missions and then watch someone much more competent play through them so I can see what I did wrong and the other strategies to get the mission done. Does anyone know if they fixed the atflir moving waypoints around?
I’m not sure about the ATFLIR mate, it is bloody annoying… I didn’t even realise it was a bug on this video until I watched it back and saw the WP3 staying right in the middle of the ATFLIR reticle 😅 hope they fix it soon, it’s kinda a campaign breaking bug until it’s sorted
For 18 pilots in a similar contact-dense situations like this, remember that the hornet's ground/sea radar will tell you a contact's speed and heading, so if you have known information about their movement you can rule them out without needing to VID.
This mission was such a surprise i had no clue i would be doing search and rescue when i was taxiing in Akrotiri haha! Was interesting to see how you approached the mission compared to me!
Oh also i assume you know now but the METAR bits you didnt understand were the temperature 68/14 (farenheiht and celcius) and the A2970 is barometric pressue InHg (29.70)
Yeah I surprised myself with just going to air to ground radar in sea mode and looking for them, was instinctual… before I realised what I was doing I caught myself and thought “I’ve been flying the hornet for far too long” haha
Currently listening to the books which inspired these campaigns and loving seeing your plays man! Brings it to life... One day I'll be at the level to play it myself :D
He does such a brilliant job on the books, can really visualise the flying and stuff with how he describes things in the novels. Glad you’re enjoying the series mate, trying to do things properly is bloody hard but rewarding when you can pull it off
It’s very very very basic, not at all like MSFS at all. They are reworking ATC in the background so maybe in another few years we will have a more realistic setup
as someone who doesn't have the skill to play these missions, yet went and read all the raven one books thank you so much for doing this! i hope for the full campaign!
I didn't think i had the skill and admittedly had about 5 attempts to pass the first mission but honestly my dude, just flying these missions forces your skill level to increase so much! you can always skip a mission if its proving too hard too
@@JamesGoodwin1994 Just saw this! I just got syria during the winter sale and Im about to get back into dcs! ill have to give this campaign a go after the change of mindset!
@@cajiky I think you’ll have a blast! Just don’t put any pressure on yourself when you make mistakes. Just enjoy the amazing dialogue and be immersed you’ll love it
I think GRCV will transmit any gaurd communications over the radio regardless of what frequency you’ve tuned into but if you want to talk back to them you need to switch to G, but I’m not 100% on that one
Not a bad guess at all mate, could be the TACAN abbreviation they went for, but normally they give it the Callsign of the ship so something to abbreviate Valley Forge 🤔
hey man, as always a awsome video, i have the campaign too (you should be exicted for the next mission) but i dont have the custom skins, and i wanted to know if u maybe know why i dont have them? thanks
Yay - the next one! Good stuff, man. 🤙🏻 In a later mission, I forgot the damn F10 thing too. Took me a while to realize. 🤦🏻♂️ How long after the mission ended did you realize it? Good call on the fixing of the liveries! I keep forgetting to look into why mine was also all effed up. Thanks! Keep up the fine work. 😎
I realised as soon as i landed and checked the scoring criteria for the mission that i stuffed up the F10 menu call. Cheers for the kind words mate, glad you are enjoying the content mate
As for today, GRCV is not working on PRI (radio 1) but only on AUX (radio 2). It looks bugged because you should have heard the call on guard but you actually have to answer on 243.0 or G.
@@TorniQuetHD Yes defintely. I had the very same problem and BigNewy confirmed it is a bug and it has been reported. So for now, enable the GRCV on AUX only until they fix this.
Cheers for thinking I was a pilot mate but I most certainly was not. I was an aircraft technician, so a fancy name for an aircraft mechanic. Everything I know in DCS I learnt from the community, youtube or online research pretty much. So if I can do it, anyone can do it 👌🏻
@@TorniQuetHD oh cool, I’ve always been interested in what goes into maintaining aircraft i don’t think people quite understand or appreciate how much work goes into maintaining an aircraft. Thanks for the reply! I also wouldn’t be surprised if you did fly the Hornet IRL, you seem to fly it really well in all your videos, and thanks for all of the tutorials!
@@TyreChewingDog yeah a lot of our job was fixing cocky pilots ham fisted flying… flying aircraft outside of flight envelope and pulling too many G’s etc 🤪🤪 I started out in DCS absolutely brand new with no idea about any of the stuff I now know, bit of patience and willingness to learn goes a long way
@@TorniQuetHD I've been playing DCS for maybe 7 months, now and I don't think I've had this much fun in a very long time. Absolute gem of a game. I've even persuaded some of my mates to get it, which is surprising.
"God dammit Maverick, you were sent to help those people NOT strafe them!"😂😂😂

I was tempted to gun that boat
🤣🤣🤣
Well, That was a big swing in skill requirement and stress from mission one.
Yeah it still had its moments for sure but def a less high stress compared to that night landing sequence

Gr8 job-Grats!!
Cheers mate 🙏🏻
Super CASE I work and a solid pass, TorniQuetHD.
Thank you mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
68 is the temp 14 is the dewpoint A stands for altimeter so it would be 29.70. You got the rest correct. The 68/14 is the temp dewpoint spread.
Thanks legend!!! I need to do some research on that aspect of ATC
68 is really hot.
@@GoldenAura32 It’s in F not C.

Just fire a harpoon into the yacht and call it a day. Jack won’t have to worry about that stroke then.
Possible spoilers from the Raven One books but I was not expecting shit to actually go OK on this one :D :D

@@TorniQuetHD Yeah, the books are fantastic. Like you said, the detail in his descriptions of the setting and events is mind blowing!
How many books are there already? I prefer audiobooks - which one should I buy first?
Best intro in the game. Had to pause and watch Mission 1 - What a fkn show. Great vids!
Is there ATC in DCS at all? Like how MSFS has VATSIM?
Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏻
It’s very very very basic, not at all like MSFS at all. They are reworking ATC in the background so maybe in another few years we will have a more realistic setup
as someone who doesn't have the skill to play these missions, yet went and read all the raven one books thank you so much for doing this! i hope for the full campaign!
Thanks for the kind words mate 🙏🏻 I hope I do it some justice and fly it is realistically as possible. The books are amazing hey!!
@@TorniQuetHD You’re doing a great job! If any other missions have me on the edge of my seat as much as the first I know we’re in for a treat!

Interested on seeing you fly mission 4 5 6 as they are bugged a little bit.
Yeah I’ve heard they are having issues right now, hopefully by the time I get to them the hornet issues are fixed
Nice met briefing
Haha I know right, I really need to learn thAt stuff especially with new dynamic weather on its way to DCS
Guessing you're gonna get a 2 wire
Time will tell 🤪
Im pretty sure guard fir comm is selected by changing the comm channel selector to G, not pressing grcv on the ufc.
I think GRCV will transmit any gaurd communications over the radio regardless of what frequency you’ve tuned into but if you want to talk back to them you need to switch to G, but I’m not 100% on that one
@@TorniQuetHD this is correct.
@@TorniQuetHD yes you are correct
just a guess that b2r is bearing to recovery

Hmmmm no idea on that one mate, they should be in that folder like I showed on the taxi out of Akrotiri 🤔🤔
@@TorniQuetHD oh yeah! thank you!
No dramas mate 👍🏻
Yay - the next one! Good stuff, man. 🤙🏻 In a later mission, I forgot the damn F10 thing too. Took me a while to realize. 🤦🏻♂️ How long after the mission ended did you realize it?

@@simonhouel1984 legend mate thanks for the heads up 👍🏻
What aircraft did you fly in the RAAF? The F/A-18A+? If so, it should explain why you’re so proficient in it in DCS 😃

Yeah mate, I’ve been hooked ever since I’ve first played it too. Still hasn’t gotten old for me.
Plot twist: The whole story of Jack having a stroke is fake, she shoots at you with a Stinger when you get close.
Hhahaha oh god 😂
