Any kind of airborne AFAC has a BIG problem with seeing stationary targets. The only sure way I have found of making them see stationary targets is to set them immortal and fly them so low that the target engages them.

If you try that simple AFAC I linked earlier it works. At least it did for me in Beta 3. Just don't call "in" after reporting IP till the convoy stops moving. And don't contact the AFAC at all till he checks in ON STATION.

Here's a simple AFAC mission that actually works. :joystick: Just wait till the AFAC says he is on station and check in, then follow instructions. Just don't report as "In" on the first (CBU) run in, as he will call "ABORT" because the convoy is moving and he'll stop communicating. Once the convoy stops and disperses the "In" call works fine.

I find that just checking in with them once and waiting till they find a target works best.

When trying to set up a US base a Kobuleti the static Russian IL 78's kinda ruin it, if you know what I mean. Fire trucks and assorted civilian vehicles would be better IMO.

But what about using an A-10 as a FAC? Should be really straight forward in ME, freq and callsign already set fo you, BUT it isn't. Sometimes he won't mark target for you or will stop communicating. I just set him to invisible so he lives. Seems buggy and/or very hit or miss as to what happens. Another known issue??

I just started finding all the alternate skins that are included, and not for just the A-10C either. http://simhq.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/3133974/Lol_Warthogski.html#Post3133974

First thing I checked was the AI HARM's. They now actually kill S-300 and SA-11 radars. :matrix: Also the aggression option has been added to the Mission Editor. Good stuff so far.

Yep, Guilty as charged. Thanks guys I got access now.:thumbup:

Well I didn't notice any way to access the Beta Forums as I was too busy downloading the game. Should be a simple way to access the Beta forums for those of us who bought the Sim already. How? Thanks in advance.
