F-15C: 16-2 Red Flag Campaign and DCS World 2 Update 4

By Atlas on January 19, 2016 in Air Combat, Daily News

Eagle Dynamics and The Fighter Collection have released the 16-2 Red Flag Campaign for the F-15C. The Red Flag Exercise is a typical advanced combat training exercise that happens at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. The USAFWC uses the exercise to train pilots and flight crew to deal with real air combat situations.

Naturally, this release will require players to have purchased the NEVADA Test and Training Range map, as well as either the F-15C for DCS World or DCS: Flaming Cliffs 3. And, of course, you’ll want to activate (DRM has 3 activations) the campaign via the Module Manager, as individual installers are no longer being provided.

All of the missions are based on input from real F-15C pilots that have flown in Red Flag exercises and will provide you a challenge that will test even the most skilled virtual pilots.

Features:

10 handcrafted mission that depict number of types of missions a F-15C pilot would fly in a Red Flag
Highly detailed mission briefings, mission maps, and lineup cards as PDF files
Custom voice overs and hundreds of triggers
Created in partnership with the author Steve Davies and F-15C pilots that have flown Red Flags

At release, there were some issues which were preventing players from getting their content, but the most recent hotfix seems to have cleared the issue up for most. Remember to check your campaign folder to see the different briefings and maps.

Along with the newest campaign support, DCS World 2.0 has been updated with some fixes and improvements to stability:
