It also affects Mk-82 and possibly Rockeyes, though that's harder to test. Bump because not being able to use Harrier's iconic feature of accurate dumb bombing with ARBS for months is really not cool. The gun is also inaccurate and consistently falls short (when in range), by the way.

+1 It was a bit of a scare, changed my password on the site just in case. Still can't log in with either the old or new password.

Still broken. Won't move from this position at start.

It's not a fault with the campaign. ED in their infinite wisdom decided that when the ILS is turned off for a certain runway (because the other direction is being used, for example), the inner/outer beacons are also disabled. And if the airport only has ILS from one direction and only one set of beacons, and the ILS is turned off because the wind is blowing from that way and the ATC wants you to VFR land from the other direction, none of the beacons will function. If the ADF needle points to a different direction, you picked up another beacon near to the non-functioning one that you wanted. For example Senaki outer is on 688 KHz while Maykop is on 682. Yes, it will get picked up from 300 miles through the entire Caucasian mountains just to make you miserable.

Low clouds every now and then is a good challenge, but it would be nice if it wasn't literally half of the missions of the campaign. Come up with new ways to make it challenging other than low cloud+MANPADS. Other than that, one of my favorite campaigns.

I'm thinking of buying this, does it have basic functionality on Syria? No terrain data is fine, but can it navigate to a given coordinate?

The only workaround I found was uncaging the maverick to lock on whatever nearby, even if it's the wrong target, then pressing undesignate to drop the TGP tracking and clear the target point. Without a target point you can now slew the maverick as normal and refine the target. If you increase the contrast on the DDI the maverick has a pretty clear image. Just be careful that you don't lose the target or mask the maverick or you'll have to find it again with the TGP.

I remember getting stuck on this mission at the part where you can choose to ask for more details. There are two choices for asking more details, at the first choice I chose more detailed explanation and on the second choice I said I got it already. Got stuck. Flied the mission again, declined more detailed explanation and it didn't get stuck.

Having the same problem. Not even the first time flying the mission, flied it a few months ago and had no problems. Tried both radios, preset and manual frequency. No reply after 20+ times trying to contact him. Supercarrier version. Do you have a script that activates the JTAC based on proximity? In the previous mission where you had to shoot a yacht, the trigger for getting close to Batumi didn't work as long as I was flying up at 40k feet for like 10 minutes. Had to go down to 20k feet before the mission proceeded. Only idea I have is that it might be a similar issue here. EDIT: Just flied the mission again. Did everything exactly the same, but stayed below 20k feet en route. The JTAC worked.

Raven One takes place on the Persian Gulf map though.

I've definitely heard the player pilot say "up and on" and so on when I was above the glideslope according to ILS needles.

Yeah, had the same thing. I was following him through the HMD and went "what the hell?" when he decided to try out dirt rallying, at least it was funny. Also tower radioed me after I already landed and told me I'm cleared to land (I was flying below 180, so wasn't landing too early, I think). Just some small annoyances, thankfully the mission played out fine besides that.

It's helpful if you find the target with LST so you can drop the bomb accurately in AUTO mode, but not necessary. For laser guided bombs as long as you know where the target is (the JTAC talks you onto it or you have coordinates), you can just roughly drop the bomb near the target in CCIP and if it's on the right laser code it will work. That's how we do it in the Mirage-2000 which has no TGP but has LGB. For laser Mavericks you use the Mav's own laser spot search mode just like when you self-lase.

It happened yet again. Now I'm reasonably sure it has to do with trim somehow being ignored. While trimmed properly during landing, the nose suddenly started to drop. Anticipating this bug, I did not increase nose up trim but instead held the stick back. When about to reach the runway the nose started rising as last time. I let go of the stick and voila, the aircraft was nicely trimmed for on-speed AoA again. I don't know if it's related, but ILS was on.

Bump, still happening. Happened several times during Operation Persian Freedom campaign when landing on Al Minhad airbase. It might have something to do with trim. Before it happened it felt like the A-10 was ignoring trim. Full nose up trim was not enough to keep it on on-speed AoA, had to pull back the stick to keep the nose from dropping when going at 130 kts. When about to touch down to the runway the nose suddenly shot up, like the full nose up trim was suddenly activated that the plane was ignoring before that.

Yeah no, then you got extremely lucky. Some of the missions tell you to fly through the contested city with the AAA in it, it's like they just want to piss you off for no reason. Here's one, just fly bearing 90 from Tskhinvali LMAO GREAT JOKE. They literally placed WP1 at the edge of its threat ring to make sure you don't miss it. Compare with the map in the first post. Without WP1 you would actually fly a bit further to the north where it's safe, so they added WP1 further into the city just out of pure evilness.

I can understand wanting to punish players if they CROSS the border, but it was extremely frustrating and infuriating randomly dying until I found out that I wasn't accidentally crossing the border, I was shot down by invisible AAA placed inside supposedly friendly cities, with its range a few hundred yards from my flight plans. Why the hell would you even do that, think that's going to be a fun experience?

Great job with the new Viggen all-in-one screen, it reduced the time I spend head down by at least 90%. I have one feature request if possible, the A-10C UFC screen could really use a scratchpad display on the top of it. This is the line at the very bottom of your HUD and also the last line on the CDU that shows what you're typing in [BRACKETS]. It's pretty awkward to type on the android tablet without seeing if I made a typo. If you can't export just that one line of the HUD then maybe you could separately export just that one line of the CDU, to prevent the performance loss of exporting the full CDU when only using the UFC.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy that if I want to do some corrections during landing with the gears down I often need to go at least stage 2 afterburner to not fall out of the sky.

If you do a very short click it will not register, you need to hold down the ON/OFF button for a second.

It works for me. Did you switch to A/A TACAN mode and held down ON/OFF to turn it on?

Seconding, flied the mission twice and have the same problem. You switch to channel 8 on PRI as instructed, there is a Nail radio check, Smoke replies, and from that the script doesn't progress to the part where you would normally ask to rejoin the tanker. Edit: Flied it again from the first checkpoint save (R1 M03 ALT A.miz) and this time Arco was in the tanker radio list and mission prodceeded normally. First two times I played from the beginning.

It seems to have the same bug as the one with A-10C II launch. If terrain is uneven (ie. mountains), CCIP pipper is off.

I tried using HARMs, hit both SAMs and then I got mission failure for not doing first objective. I just ended up ignoring the SAMs and shooting the artillery from just outside SAM range with the Mavs.

Tried mission 2 three times, soldiers not entering vehicle. Latest openbeta at the point of writing.
