  1. Ambitious project. Given the classified nature of the aircraft, I'm curious to see what we'll get.
  2. Tried to fly this mission last week and same problem. SAR mission is never triggered and it looks like all the GR4's made it through their bombing run unscathed.
  3. Trim for AoA and throttle to control your descent rate. Don't worry too much about your IAS.
  4. Hi, I have tried to fly Mission 10 a couple of times and both times there's been an issue with the Plane Directors. On both occasions I waited for the taxi cue, saluted the plane director and then got the message "Awaiting available crew member". This message stayed on my screen even after all aircraft had departed the carrier.
  5. IIRC, you should just need to escort the aircraft into Beirut after that conversation.
  6. Hi, Have the campaign missions been updated to account for the new fuze setting possibilities? I.e, do the JDAMS now have nose cones and are they now grey in colour? If not, can I do this myself in the rearm screen or will this break the missions?
  7. Oh man, I used to roll with you guys back in the day when the Hornet first released. Used to fly with VFA-154. Some of the best fun I had in DCS.
  8. Hi, Really enjoying the campaign so far. One very minor bug I noticed is that you spawn with AIM-9's on the wing tips instead of AIM-120's in Part 2 of Mission 9.
  9. Bumping this. Has there been any progress on implementing the correct fuses to the JDAM model?
  10. I had an issue when I keyed in the JTAC frequency after refuelling that I got no triggers from that point on. My frequency was correct but I got no contact from the JTAC?
  11. The new ECM pod I'd assume
  12. Really enjoying this campaign. I did notice a bug on mission 5, though. When heading back to the carrier they call you in for a CASE 3 approach, even though it's day VFR conditions?
  13. Hi, I just loaded up the campaign and noticed there is a bug with the board numbers on the liveries?
  14. There's a random B-17 and P-51 parked outside the airfield in Mission 6 on Normandy 2.0. Bug?
  15. Weird. Maybe uninstall and reinstall it?
  16. Is there any update on whether ED plans to implement these different nose fuses?
  17. I think it mentions in the briefing that you have to take off before Smoke.
  18. No, manual start. Radar was in the off position until I was low over the water. Edit: Now that I think of it, I don't remember ever getting a prompt to dump fuel to signal my flight to switch their radars on. As soon as I was settled ay 900ft in formation over the water, I think I just switched it on.
  19. I am currently trying to complete mission 14 and both times I've flown it I have gotten the "Thunderstorm" call, failing the mission. Not too sure what I'm doing wrong as: -I'm pushing at the correct time, flying in formation with the S-3 (on the left side). -I didn't turn my radar on until I was feet wet in the Persian Gulf, flying at 900ft. -Remained under 1,000ft the whole way. Only thing it might be is the AI. When we hit WP4 and initiate the turn into Iran, the AI flights immediately climb to around 2,500ft. Could the AI be triggering the "Thunderstorm" call? Or am I missing something?
  20. The Hornet is quite capable of flying an instrument approach using TACAN, without the need for an ILS. If your unsure how to do it, this video demonstrates how. Also, if your ceilings are much lower than those shown in the video, you should probably find a different airfield. https://youtu.be/Jyl54RNsWrE
  21. Was there a crosswind? Aircraft will yaw into the wind without any control input to counter.
  22. I believe the stores drag was adjusted in a recent patch. It feels quite nice now in my opinion.
  23. I had this exact bug last night. I figured it must've been because the S-3 had no fuel left to give. I just landed at the divert field as I didn't have enough fuel to do the Case III. Still passed the mission.
  24. Something similar happened to me on Mission 4. For some reason Biff just held short of the runway after I'd taken off. I'd almost got to Moapa before I noticed he wasn't with me. I ended up circling back towards Nellis and once I got close enough his takeoff was triggered and the mission continued as normal.
