DCS: F-4E Phantom - Episode I - Introduction

Ойындар

Welcome to the first of several episodes, aiming to give you a better overview of all the features and technologies we've developed for DCS: F-4E, coming with our recreation of the legendary Phantom II for DCS World. In this episode, we'll be focusing on introducing the Phantom, and giving you a quick overview of some of the unique aspects of our new components based simulation framework and design decisions behind developing it. Stay tuned for future episodes, focusing on topics such as the flight model, systems, APQ-120 radar, Cold Start, and more as we get increasingly technical and specific.
Thank you for all of your support and love and see you in the skies!

You can set the parameters for this in the mission editor, but can these values ​​also be taken over from another mission? Does this only work within a campaign? I guess that the status of the aircraft isn't saved after each mission and adopted for the next mission, regardless of whether these missions are related or not?
