Many thanks for the advice guys. One glaring error I've made, as Glyn pointed out, is to use chaff instead of flare. For some reason I had in my mind that SA-8 locks on via radar (hence to rwr tones) to launch, then the guidance was the missile's IR seeker. "Know your enemy" lol... Cheers!

Hey Glyn, Well done on this campaign mate. The scope is fantastic and the voice acting is superb. Everything thing runs silky smooth. My problem is my poor skills/technique. I just can't get past those SA8s ingressing into Gori. I fly very low, fast, jink a little, dump flares, but they still get me. Do you have any tips? Cheers!

Hey many thanks markeebo, I finally got him lol... I was building up my energy ok and forgot about the g limiter. At the critical time I pulled that, and he was toast. Got into a horizontal scissors, and finally got a reactionary guns shot through his right wing. Thanks again for the timely advice, Cheers mate [emoji106]

Hey Folks, Thought I post here as a continuation rather than a new topic. Flying 1v1, me F-18 vs AI F-14A guns only, once we have manoeuvered for a few minutes, he ends up on my tail in lead pursuit. What are some tactics to shake him? Usually we have lost most of our altitude so vertical is no option. Cheers!

@deadlyfishes, Hey deadly, I've reported this on discord as well.... I tried the latest versions of PG and GC, appears auto scripts to spawn enemy are not starting. Also there are no AWACS and Tankers starting (this I fixed by unchecking Late Activation). Definitely no enemy or drones spawning at mission start to give JTAC target status. Cheers!

Hey Folks, Rather than starting a new thread, I was looking for some ssd drive management advice, with the latest OB iteration. Currently I run Win10 (latest build) on Samsung PCIe M.2 C:/ drive. Therefore, DCS puts the Saved Games folder there. I run DCS on my Samsung 850 pro sata 6 SSD E:/ drive. So I assume when playing the sim, it is constantly accessing the Saved Games folder (E: to C:, C: to E:). Would it be feasible to co-locate the Saved Games folder with DCS on E:/, then link this through the Properties/Location tab so it becomes the default? Does it make much difference?

Hey Folks, I'm still trying to understands this dedicated server. So as an example, if I wanted to play a mission with a friend, using my pc as the DS would I also be able to play as a client on said mission? Would I need to buy/rent another DCS licence? Cheers!

Wouldn't it be great if there was a tab to download current weather for the map, which would match up with the time in ME.

Sounds like a good explanation, makes sense. So to re-pressurise, do we reset the bleed air as mentioned earlier? Many thanks to all in the discussion [emoji106]

Hey Folks I've searched this forum, Chuck's guide and the NATOPS and could not find anything. Every now an then I get a deedle-deedle advisory "TK PRES LOW". I'm thinking fuel tank pressure low, but is this internal, external or both? It even comes up constantly after I have jettisoned drop tanks. Can anyone explain this please? Many thanks.

@deadlyfishes Hey mate, I noticed on PG and CAUC the kc-130 seems to dive to low level as if it is going defensive when it spawns and cruises near enemy ground forces. Makes it impossible to refuel. Cheers!

I noticed that too when I tried to edit the 476th range mission to put an A-4 client at Nellis. However, it worked when I spawned one at Tonopah [emoji848]

I taped a bit of tinted film over the camera. Works like a charm. Cheers!

@deadlyfishes, Hey mate, I'm loving the new TTI SP missions, well done. I have one question, I have made an A-4E-C client spawn on Stennis by copy and paste from an existing Hornet client. When I go to add an AI wingman by increasing "1 of 1" to "1 of 2", a message pops up saying "no parking available for your aircraft". Is there a way around this? Cheers!

Hey Folks, I was thinking about how Air Intercept radars from aircraft show up on RWR, which got me thinking, will the same happen when you switch on the A-4E ground radar? So will all ground and airborne units "see" you on their RWR? Is this modelled in the mod or within DCS engine? Cheers!

Hey Sorel, Man.... still can't get past this mission. I've tried different intercepts, but the migs always shoot at me first, then the sa3 and sa6s get me :) The flight doesn't see the migs until they are already firing their first volley of AAMs. I got 2 bombers down, but the other one ran, I had no hope of catching him lol. Cheers! Scotch

@Strut, @PorcoRosso86, Hey guys, fantastic work on this skin. Just downloaded it and she comes up a real treat to the eyes. I love the weathering around the access patches, and the flash work on the curved skin looks brilliant. Well done to all involved Cheers!

Geeez, how do you pass the bomber intercept mission (TU-22s)??? If the MIG-23s don't get you first, the SAMs get you. Must have already tried this about 15 times.... lol Cheers!

Hey Sorel, Today I completed the CSAR mission (7 or 8?). I'm really enjoying this campaign and good to see the F-5E getting some love. Cheers mate! Fantastic work.

Yeah, when you move throttle from off to idle, it starts introducing fuel immediately (your fuel flow gauge will jump). So I'd say by the time you get to your right engine, when you ignite it, its full of fuel so has a "mini explosion" rather than a controlled ignition. Cheers!

Ahhrrrggghhh, Mission 4, we got 11 out of 12 Hips down. The last Hip crash landed on the runway so I rearmed and through Aim9s, ffars and strafed it. Mission debrief said it was "hit" many times, but it just wouldn't blow up. I couldn't progress lol..... Well don Sorel, I'm really enjoying this campaign. Fantastic work [emoji106]. Cheers!

Moist????? Mate, I just had to change my underwear lol..... Brilliant work, well done Cheers!

I bound the wheel brake (W) to the APU switch up (on the TM Warthog throttle) so it acts as a park brake as soon as I spawn. This saves me having to hold the "W" key down. Then just use the "W" key as normal when taxiing around or landing.

Yes, I can second this ^^^ I'm fairly hopeless at BFM and ACM at the best of times, but I was able to own an AI F-5E in a guns only dogfight over and over by keeping a tight turning circle so the Tiger could not get a lead on me. When I was able, I could do an escape/acceleration manoeuvre to be able to gain separation, then re-engage. Eventually I was able to gun him, or he ran out of fuel and had to eject. I think the flight model is quite good, I was generally holding a 330 knots sustained turn, then a real yank down to 280 knots if he looked like getting lead pursuit. Definitely give it a go against like era aircraft. Cheers!

@Dix well done! I haven't had a chance to try the mission yet, but I have one question; Where and how can the carrier script be incorporated into an existing mission, eg TTI Persian Gulf, if at all? Will that effect scripts already running?
