I played mission 5 3 times. 1. Succeed. Got the feeling I was lucky. It was to messy I didn't really understand what all happened. I wanted to play it again. 2. AGM65 misalignement ! When target locked on TGP, AGM65 looked totally elsewhere. I did an alignement procedure on ground, but something must have gone wrong. Got shot while panicking in the heat of action. 3. Passing IP. Pushed WP9. WP9 75 nm to go somewhere west. Not spotted on HSD. Pushed CZ. Nothing changed. Other WPs correct. Abort mission.

mission 5 impossible to get a reply from tanker
Falken2 replied to dave76's topic in Bugs and Problems
Dave is right. Same for me. 100% sure I use correct frequency. I don't care since I use unlimited fuel. -
Entering 8-digit grid coordinates
Falken2 replied to Kreutzberg's topic in F/A-18C Arctic Thunder Campaign
Yeah I stuggled with these 8 digits coordinates. Very silly to give 8 digits when it's either 6 or 10, especially when the last zeroes are missing. Plus the system accepts these coordinates. Except the first point is about 40 miles south west in Finland from WP6. The ergonomics of those late 20th century fighters numeric systems always amaze me. -
It was my turn, and I was gently approaching to the contact. Anyway, I replayed the mission, Roach kept quiet and everything went fine.
-
I was refueling. While approaching the boom, a schock, lost control of the aircraft. Had to eject. On the debrief, learned that I collided with my wingman. What option can avoid this? Crash recovery? I wouldn't want to use invulnerability.
-
I installed last DCS version : - unlimited fuel option is functioning - I could use standard DCS comms with tanker to get contact clearance (and than use F10 option to avoid a full refuel procedure) - for the attack with my wingman, my misunderstanding. I thought north group was the flankers and the south group the SU25. We engaged the south group flankers and then the SU25. wingman killed a flankers and a frog foot. So everything is now OK. Got to get proficient in AAR, I know.

Replayed mission 3 : 1. Roach (my wingman) fired and killed the 2 SU-27 (north group),which was not the plan ! That's what DCS debrief says. I had to kill the 4 SU-25. 2. I use UHF channel 5 287.3 MHz 100% sure. It went a little different (further). This time I had a message 'presse SPACE when visual contact with Texaco'. I did, heard myself calling Texaco to request refuel. Texaco lit his lights and deployed the boom. I was told to use DCS comms. It still didn't work out.

Hi. Love the campaign, Immersion, mission 1 and 2 are a great experience. 3 problems in mission 3 : 1. Why does my wingman not engage when we are tasked to commit with the southern group (4 SU-25) ? Do I have to use usual comms to ask him to engage ? 2. Can't ask Texaco 5.1 to refuel with usual DCS comm. I do use UHF-5 Amber 1. In response, all I get is a short noise. 3. Unlimited fuel option doesn't function. Getting 5,000 pounds of fuel will be challenging for me. Chainsaw will have to be very patient.

is there a bug with F-16 refueling ? No return pre-contact message ?
Falken2 replied to Falken2's topic in General Bugs
Thanks for your advice. With some training and tweaks (percents of confidence and rejection), pause between words (like "three" ... "engage") I now manage a rather good use of VoicAttack. -

Thanks for your advice. Game commander was a software (win 95 ?), similar to VoiceAttack : voice recognition, and you associated a sequence of key strokes to a phrase. Worked very good, even for non native English. I tried VoiceAttack with Viacompro : I managed to say "request refuel" "ready pre-contact" and be understood, and the command was issued to DCS. Worked fine. "Abort rejoin" didn't work out at all. Then I tried an other mission. Tried to say "request picture", "engage my target", "flight engage bandits", ... but nothing happened. Heard some beeps, hi tone, low tone, I suppose that meant understood / not understood. I tried "Sukhumi request take off", VoiceAttack understood "Subcomittee, request a cough" My english pronunciation is still better than the french pilots of the red flag M2000 campaign one. I also use the Pimax VR headset microphone, and Windows says the volume is low. -

Falken2 replied to Falken2's topic in General Bugs
Yes I have. I gave a try. But I'm French. I had a french windows. Had to install and English windows. I have a french version of DCS (well, texts in french, audio in english, obviously). I'm almost fluent in english but VoiceAttack seems to have difficulties to understand me. 20 years ago, I used a very good software named 'Game commander' with Falcon 4.0 and had no problem with my english. When I have some time to invest, I'll try harder VoiceAttack. -

Falken2 replied to Falken2's topic in General Bugs
I followed the procedure. You ask for pre-contact, and get clearance for pre-contact. The tanker tells you then contact when the boom is in, then tells 'you're taking fuel'. Same as with the Hornet and the basket. I managed to take fuel, a few seconds. I experienced something else strange too in an attempt. I was told 'return pre-contact'. But the option 'request pre-contact' was not in the radio menu. So I had to ask 'cancel refuel' and than ask again for refuel. -
I was trying F-16C refueling instant action, and I was twice in right position, and no boom contact, no fuel. I paused and watched F2 view, the boom was just in front of the door. - Door was opened. RDY light on. - Got pre-contact clearance BUT when I pushed radio button, I saw that the menu proposed "request pre-contact". I never got the message "return pre-contact'. VERY FRUSTATING.
