Thanks RedKite, that was an interesting video. I really appreciated your skill in avoiding collisions with your flight lead & I think his Tacan was 56X. Good content as always & that second guns kill was tidy.
For an air to air Tacan Yardstick you need to be +63 from your flight lead to pick up ranging information (no bearing) I've got a video on that :) It's a little different from a dedicated tacan station with beacon hardware (like a tanker). Saint didn't make it easy for me to do formation, hence the relaxed position i took up most of the time!
@@RedKiteRender I remember your video about the tacan yardstick. However, something is strange in this mission. Played it yesterday in latest open beta and needed to tune 56X for ranging and it showed R21 as ID.
I always learn things when watching your videos. Truly appreciated. Hopefully you decide to play through more of the missions in the campaign. I'm planning on starting it this weekend.
Ain't it tricky?! I'm now semi OK with systems but putting it all together in a fluid mission is just a bit too much at the moment! Hope you nailed it since you this then :)
The first time I watched this, I also questioned what the fuck was with saint's "Defensive" maneuver. After reading the book, yeah. makes sense, dude was fucking inept
You dialed your own A/A tacan frequency. But when using Saints it does work, its how I worked a half mile distance out, as my look I would never have got it.
Tacan yardsticks require you to be +63 from the flight lead, which is what my assigned frequency is. That's how it works in reality / with player controlled aircraft. I suspect Ai don't play by the same rules, but a/a t/r 119x should be correct, i'l have to experiment next time.
@@RedKiteRender now you have said this it has jogged my memory, I do remember being taught this a long while back. That said I did not realise it was modelled in DCS! Good to know.
Amazing campaign , can anyone fully translate what is the Boss saying at the intro phase. I understand half of it only and would like to add that line in my mission. Great content RK
Does anyone know why this isn’t available on Steam yet or when it will be available? As always, Redkite, great video! You’re one of my favorite DCS content creators. I appreciate everything you do!
Man, I'd love to watch you play the whole thing! Not sure what's the stance on that since it's a purchasable campaign (good arguments going either way), but still, love what you do Also really liked the Tacview debrief!
Thanks for the video! Just finished the 1st mission last night. Saint is such a douche lol. He did the same thing to me turning into me going back to marshal. How did you sync video to tacview? Would love to use that in my debriefs
@@rampageTG haha yeah i ended up finishing the book shortly after this. Definitely agree. The author said he's never ever met any officer like Saint or based saint off of anyone (thank god those types are rare/dont exist in the usn), he just made an amalgam of the worst traits he could think of in an officer, basically.
They're listed on the kneeboards (shift K and [ ] ) However because of my multi-monitor setup you can't see them, I do occasionally edit in the kneeboards for important bits.
Sure, but your trim is wrong, so the aircraft won't pitch up correctly. It's not a huge deal unless you're flying an asymmetric payload. I'm just doing it by the (real) book.
Great video as always. I'm a bit struggleling when Saint says, switch Tower, isn't it channel 9 on Comm 1? Than I have to give the "see you at 10" command from the menu correct? I didn't do that so I have got no grade and "no proper communication". Thanks for your help in advance.
do you have some mods on the labels? it seems that either you are switching them on manually, or that they are disappearing when getting closer? great video, as usual!
You can edit object properties and change their colour to Red, Orange, Purple, Green or Blue, i swapped him from red to green. It's really useful for highlighting important flights too.
Great video. I'm enjoying this campaign, although I'm having to learn a lot of new radio terminology. But that just adds to the knowledge pot!

Just another day in "the Office."Thanks RedKite,

Always an absolute artist RedKite. You should really direct movies.
Nice one Kite, I can't play it, waiting for ya bud ❤️
Need More!

I wish i was this good with the f/a 18c.good one
Time and practice, you'l get there.
Great video! Wish I was proficient enough with the hornet to play this campaign, looks like a load of immersive fun

Thank you as always for your great videos. Glad you are back. Best wishes and good health. Keep them coming please.
Great video! cannot wait for the next mission video. Stuck at mission 3 at the moment. Hope I can learn some insight from you

@@RedKiteRender to make it work I had to use predefined channel, though the two are 63 channels apart
At the end of the mission you can see saint ladder come down and him stepping out of the plane. Anyway, we can do the same. Thanks

As always, Redkite, great video! You’re one of my favorite DCS content creators. I appreciate everything you do!
I agree that standalone is better - having said that, it is due to be released this month (Sept)
Great video Kite, you really deserve the 30k. Looking forward for more :)
Thanks!
At recovery after lead calls "Go Tower" Is there any comms after that ? I get no proper communication notice after landing..................
Just follow the normal dcs carrier recovery coms yourself afterwards.
Man, I'd love to watch you play the whole thing!
Not sure what's the stance on that since it's a purchasable campaign (good arguments going either way), but still, love what you do
Also really liked the Tacview debrief!
Dont know what im doing wrong but after he calls go tower nothing happens he just endlessly flies in circles around the carrier without breaking away
what's the ILS frequency for the carrier? I can't find it. where did punch in the ILS frequency？？！ Also the could is so thick now.
if you use your jmcs you can see your distance to the flight lead
Sure, but the dl visualisation in helmet was only added beginning of November :)
First of all thanks for all the great and helpful content you release! One question: How do you put the hornet weapon systems in sim mode?
Hit the SIM button lower right of the Stores page.
Thanks a lot!
Thanks for the video! Just finished the 1st mission last night. Saint is such a douche lol. He did the same thing to me turning into me going back to marshal. How did you sync video to tacview? Would love to use that in my debriefs
Click Analysis (the document image) then select Media 1-4 and adjust the video until it's in sync
If you think he is a douche in the campaign try reading/listening to the book.
@@rampageTG haha yeah i ended up finishing the book shortly after this. Definitely agree.

How good was that........ Top vid bud.......
When he told you to go Marshal how did you know that was channel 4 at 21:00?
They're listed on the kneeboards (shift K and [ ] ) However because of my multi-monitor setup you can't see them, I do occasionally edit in the kneeboards for important bits.
Wow. Are all campaigns this good?
I think you can take off still without changing the nose thing to 16

Is Spudknocker voicing Saint? He's got quite the tone when you mess up lol
Ralfidude is Saint which he did a really great job with! Spud is Weed.
@@RedKiteRender ahhh okay
@@RedKiteRender Wow, didn't sound like ralfidude at all.
@@86abaile If you listen for when Saint says "fights on!" you can hear its Ralfi for sure
Great video as always. I'm a bit struggleling when Saint says, switch Tower, isn't it channel 9 on Comm 1? Than I have to give the "see you at 10" command from the menu correct? I didn't do that so I have got no grade and "no proper communication". Thanks for your help in advance.
You're meant to just follow the dcs coms to landing afterwards, but I wouldn't worry too much about it!
I purchased this campaign but started in the air on mission 1,, anyone have an idea why? any help appreciated,, Darren
Do you own the supercarrier module? It's required.
@@RedKiteRender That solves my issue,, thanks Sir, I will purchase it in next sale :)
do you have some mods on the labels? it seems that either you are switching them on manually, or that they are disappearing when getting closer?
great video, as usual!
The labels are set to dot only, they're just disappearing in the video compression i think. They're on for the whole video, no mods.
@@RedKiteRender thank you for the answer!
Is green something you have setup for Tacview or is that a third coalition
You can edit object properties and change their colour to Red, Orange, Purple, Green or Blue, i swapped him from red to green. It's really useful for highlighting important flights too.
@@RedKiteRender there you go shattering my dreams of greater mission editor functionality
There is the neutral team in the editor now, i wonder what colour they are in tacview!
Ugh... The only thing I wasn't looking forward to after the book was 'listening' to Saint again...
RK did you compose the TacView over the actual flight video or is there a pairing mode for TacView and DCS?
Click Analysis (the document image) then select Media 1-4 import your recording and adjust the video until it's in sync
Nice work.
Two words for you (concerning rubbing your belly and patting your head): Voice Attack. ;)
Yes, that would be a good idea, i'l have to set that for the next one!
:-( Too bad the campaign is not in French. just the texts would have been cool.
