This is very weird. I'll have a closer look at R1 for the next (May) update, no time for April (troubleshooting missions that used to work but get broken with every other update takes waay to much of my time anyway). Thanks for the track and the report.

The user files section is very old, unless stated otherwise use the latest version of the campaign that gets automatically installed. TACAN doesn't work in A-A mode for tankers for quite some time now, you need to be in T/R as rob10 says. AI crashing into the tanker.. well, I have completely no control over that. I just assign the AI a mundane task which it messes up royally, which breaks missions making people upset with my campaigns but that's part of DCS and we all have to live with it I guess...

@CH4Pztry to run a full repair of the campaign and check if you have 3rd party unofficial mods installed. They also tend to break things...

But that would mean that the author should be constantly playing all his campaigns on several versions of the DCS to be able to tell that, and this author barely has time to keep up with updating the old stuff that constantly gets broken (on top of many projects he has open). So while a good idea, I am afraid completely unrealistic... Don't get me wrong - I will still aim for the same level of fidelity, but avoid huge strike packages or things that are too scripted / rely on AI too much. But I am sure you'll like what I am working on!

Hey. This mission will need a solid rework, so many things went tango uniform after several DCS updates that I might need to re-build it from ground up, which I'll do for May update. As for the coordinates - I spoke to some pilots and they said it was a common confusion to get coordinates in specific format without mentioning which one it was, so I did it on purpose here confusion is part of the job!

Hm.. so they show SD as they should (first and last letter of the callsign)? This is on purpose (and wasn't possible to do in many other missions).

There is no way for me to tell if you hit or miss but to use a timer - if something doesn't happen within X seconds, mission assumes it didn't. You probably shot at maximum range or something else changed. This mission needs a solid re-work (also because of the still existing bug with the coordinates I think) so it will have to wait for the May update.

I just finished updating the A-10C II version of TEW, all of the missions. But Harrier has to wait until I am done with majority of work on F-15E and F-16 campaign at the moment...

I could push player's messages as sound and messages but that would take away the ability to use them for something else, like giving important pointers (vide: switch your freq) as a rule you should not leave Tac until you are explicitly told to do so (as would probably be the case in real life too), but the radio transmission system I use is both an advantage (because you can set your radios as you want) and a curse (because you may miss stuff)... Anyway, I am glad it isn't a bug!

At this point you are just using the standard supercarrier comms and the Tower is still not implemented I think? In any case, just use the same system you would use with any supercarrier landing.

The AI Tomcats are causing A LOT of trouble in the campaign. I wish I didn't use them at all... out of my hands unfortunately

@Sandman1330 @PyrocumulousI just flew the short version of the mission and checked the longer ones. All works fine for me and is set up as it should. Indeed, the whole missing convo is on TAC, which you normally should not switch to anything else during the mission. Yes, there is some white noise (hence the note in the kneeboard) but you should just be using it. I can't find anything wrong.. @eLgargantuan - people are reporting issues with AI refusing to push from WP and that full repair helps quite often. Also check if you have 3rd party unofficial mods installed, these can cause such problems too. Works OK on my end it seems...

Thank you for taking time to post the review. Glad you liked it!

@ArielSharonrun a full repair, it helped several people with this particular problem. Also check if you have any unoficcial mods and if you do - disable them for playing the campaign. Don't know why, but it tends to mess up the AI behaviour a lot. Let me know if this helps. On my end the mission works OK.

I should revisit this mission and upgrade it, but I have so many things going on I barely have time for anything... and I need to finally jump into MP at some point!

Hey guys, For those who have not seen those, I'll be posting recordings of the training missions for the upcoming F-15E Strike Eagle. Enjoy! Using Radios in F-15E Also check the playlist with previous training videos:

@Sandman1330 I tried this mission and cannot reproduce Red's behaviour, he attacked immediately for me in both instances. AI being AI I guess..

OK, will have a look. I remember having similar problem before which was fixed, so maybe it came back...

@DMousetook me a while, but checked it. As to the initial departure, it should be on Comm1 as is - you are asked to switch to Strike only at the RDV point, all looks OK to me. You are right about the kneeboard and frequencies not matching, fixed - thanks for reporting!

Yep! Just finished working on it & going to submit to ED shortly. All should work like charm now!

Well, there is a DCS bug with F10 map coordinates not matching up with the ATFLIR ones, I reported it to ED long time ago... I'll need to give this mission a proper rework it seems, as with different updates things started to go for a worse. Will keep you guys posted.

I saw this happen on occassion to wingmen, but can't reproduce here... will keep trying. Damn AI.

Gratz

Please do!

Yeah, I am going mission by mission updating freqs and documents. Hope to be done for next OB!
