The only way I know of is to put a trigger zone around the airport you want bombed, specify in the explosion action the volume of the explosion to match the radius number in the trigger zone, and presto, one big-ass explosion at the start of the mission with flames and smoke.

I only know desired time of fall for using bombs to gather some kinetic energy in free-fall before being lased and guided in on the laser beam.

Key word being "planned." ;)

If you select "attack map object" in the perform tasking and put the triangle on the building you want dead, the a/c should attack that specific one. Well, it's supposed to, but, heh, you know the mission editor... :p Unfortunately, I don't know how to designate a building for the player to blow up. :< Maybe if you can enter custom coordinates for a GPS strike?

That's because there's zero documentation on it. I've figured out most of it through trial and error.

I've honestly read most of the manual and even tried the search function but it never revealed where that dang switch is. Thank you! :D

Exactly how do you enable MRFCS mode?

I just flew this. Before engaging with cluster bombs, you should take a look around and fire mavericks at any AAA or SAMs you see. You should and can order your wingman to engage air defenses. Keep telling him to engage air defenses until he responds negative, and then try your bombing runs. (tell him to engage them too.)

Sure hope the next patch fixes the lack of carpet bombing. :(

do these guys carry anything other than a boatload of SAMs? I attached a mission file where there is Russian naval group pretty close to an American one. The American ships start launching Harpoons and Tomahawks almost immediately and it seems all the Russians can do is fire SAMs. Or do I have to put them closer? D: p.s. can you submerge subs? I am aware that you can effectively simulate by making them invisible and visible again, but I was wondering if the models would actually go underwater and then surface. Ship weaponry test.miz

Awwright, i'll try that, thanks for your help!

Right, I uploaded it. I've tried using AI Tasks via the triggers, and just simple waypoint actions and triggered actions in the group properties, but none of them appear to work. The SAMs work fine though. <_< Russia vs Georgia 1.miz

Hi guys. I decided to try out the mission editor this week and make a little campaign-movie without me doing any flying and I've run into a roadblock: Any air units I set to attack ground units do not actually attack. For example, a couple of Russian Mi-24 attack helicopters pass directly over a group of infantry and refuse to shoot. I've tried using the tasks "attack group" or "search then engage" "search then engage group" and "CAS" but none of them work. Same for a pair of Mig-29s armed with rockets, bombs and guns in the same area. Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Bit of a necro as i was looking for solutions to the squeaking plastic problem, but I have this setup and love it at the cheap cost. In fact, I even fly DCS: A-10C with it with all the HOTAS buttons mapped :D
