I'm not flying much at the moment (blame Assetto Corsa and Elite) but better campaigns is something that I've felt DCS has deserved for a long time, and I thoroughly approve of these new efforts.

I thought BST's Huey campaign showed what potential there was if things were done right, but it did suffer from technical problems like missed triggers. Has to be said that some of the dialogue was pretty terrible as well, but I guess that can be considered 'character'.

I skimmed the first mission AAR earlier (thanks Chris) and agreed with the suggestion that it should have a couple of familiarisation missions to start off with. You'd think that would appeal to the authors as well since they should be more straightforward to create.

I'm holding on for EDGE before getting back into DCS, so while I won't be buying this sort of stuff any time soon it's definitely something I'll be up for in future.

I know dammit. I have other stuff I need to be doing too (uh..deadline for the magazine is looming!).. But I hate to post a first impression based on a single mission and then sit there wondering if I'm right or wrong..or whether things get better or worse. In my opinion, they are getting better. But again..with only 3 of 20 missions flown I'm only looking at a sampling of 15% of the content. The briefing for mission #4 looks awesome though.. Woot!

I guess I should actually sit down and figure out some of the radar modes of the Su-27 and map some HOTAS stuff. If I'm going to commit, I might as well commit.. Sigh.

I think he meant different movies, I.e. $12 to go see Battlefield Earth, then $12 to go see Boondock Saints 2, then $12 to go see The Core. Not the same movie over and over. Definition of inanity and all that.

I was caught in the Matrix (3). And no matter how many times I went back to see it, it remained awful. Now I just try to tell myself that the first Matrix movie was the only one and the other two don't exist.

That's what I do as well.

The average naval aviator, despite the sometimes swaggering exterior, is very much capable of such feelings as love, affection, intimacy, and caring. These feelings just don't involve anyone else.

If anyone posts 'personal insults', they shouldn't be posting at SimHqs.

Anyone.
Just the way it is.
Gives everyone equal protection.

Just don't insult people here, keep your posts confined to the game, and you'll be fine.
Same rules.
