Yes!! This mission in 5 always held a special place in my heart for starting out as my least favorite mission and becoming one of my favorites once I figured out how to do it.
@@Gaussercito Looking forward to them! The idea of playing Ace Combat in a more expansive, detailed setting is exactly what got me into DCS in the first place!
At this stage of the Ace Combat campaing, the player is expected to get a more capable plane than F-5E. I'm trying to match that progress by using more advanced planes that can do more in combat. I guess this mission can be done in one of those planes too. Just open the mission with the mission editor and change the plane into F-5Es or F-4s without changing the name of the squadron or pilots and you'll be fine.
@@Gaussercito I see. Not a DCS pilot but rather Msfs 2020 (dont e even got a joystick to justify it) , I did changed from my default F-5 into the F-4G Wild Weasel. Love that aircraft, with the guided anti-surface missiles and stuff. Though I do hate the lack of maneuverability, the ability to turn in a dime in slow speed makes up for it.
Well, it's not made to be a super famous thing, it's a personal project for me to learn about the mission editor haha. But I thought of sharing for the sake of other ace combat fans that also like simulators. I'm glad you enjoyed!
This project is large enough to keep me busy for months or years but I might continue with Ace Combat Zero later, if no one started that project before I finish with AC5.
Excellent, I'm starting to make some of the later Wardog/Razgriz missions, but my greatest problem is: Where can I extract the voice lines? From the original ISO? How did you manage to do it?
Hi, looking for the dialogue lines I found an Ace Combat 5 and Ace Combat Zero folder with all of the lines: www.reddit.com/r/acecombat/comments/4d3vdx/ace_combat_5_and_zero_voice_packs_released_too/? Before I even start the mission editor, I look for the lines on the mission I'm working. They are unnamed so it's a lot of work even before making the mission. They are literally thousands of dialogue lines there. You can find sound effects and other extras in that folders. Also, each mission I've finished has ~60-80 lines.
Ive been thinking about converting missions in Ace Combat to a dcs format, its cool youve already started! How hard is it to get into mission editing and so i could help ya out?
This is a personal project that have two objetives: one is to share Ace Combat content for the comunity and the other is for me to learn how to design missions in the mission editor. I'm not really looking for a team to help me design the missions. Feel free to make your own ace combat ones! You will learn a lot in the process, that's the fun part. You can make a lot of things on the mission editor, it's a very powerful and easy tool and I encourage you to try, just try making easy missions first instead of going into the more complex ones. I started my adventures on the mission editor like that.
You are literally making a dream come true with this project. Genuinely getting a little misty-eyed seeing somebody do this. If nothing else we need this AC5/DCS crossover to rectify DCS' shocking lack of ancient mystical prophecies. I've been playing DCS for a long time and I have not seen so much as ONE rescue from a castle dungeon in a cursed forbidden land, or even a mythological death and rebirth into helpless trainer jets through yonic cave symbolism.
Sorry for the super late response. But if you liked this one, play the other missions too while I finish making the 4th one, which is really close to get finished (I still need to record a gameplay about it and make some minor fixing but my computer is not cooperating)
Very bad idea to have a Phantom in the same formation with the Tigers. The heavy smoke would make the whole formation visible from a very long distance whereas the major advantage of the F-5E is the small RCS and its domain is the low altitude ( unlike Phantom ).
True, but I wanted it to be as closer as the original game as it could be. And the Phantom was Bartlett's plane. I thought about making him fly another F-5E in the first place, it was easier to implement in the sim too, as you can't have squadrons of mixed planes.
Thank you. I remember playing this mission with my dad watching and providing running commentary. It was one of the last things we did together before he kinda changed into someone else. He's not the man I knew, nor is he any man at all anymore, but seeing this brought to life in a milsim brought a tear to my eye. Here's to AC, hammy and silly as it can often be, it brought me and him a lot of joy when I was a kid. I look forward to sharing those games with my kids, however many they may be, and I promise them I'll stick around.
