Any word on a work around for mission 2's helos not landing for the Special Forces team?

Oh good I thought I did something wrong.

Also to zoom in on a specific spot (i.e. where your cursor is at on the TAD) you'll push China hat forward short. Once for EXP1 and twice for EXP2. Just push it a third time and it will go back to your regular TAD map.

It might just be a cruption in the campaign when I started it. And could be fixed by just restarting it. I haven't finished the campaign yet so I haven't tried fixing it that way. No worries man it's still a ton of fun, and I am having a blast. Plus it's not that hard of a workaround. Have fun on your vacation man.

Yeah I will be the only one in the area making any calls and nothing still. I've tried for 20mins on mission 8 for the mortar location but I don't even get a reply from them.

It creates a frustrating mission for sure, but I've passed all of them with a 70-90 mission completion percentage. So it's been workable for me. I do want to stress that it has just been when I use the in game comms menu for JTAC (F4).

Everyone so far except for mission 16. That has been the only one where I got a complete JTAC reading. Mission five was when it first started happening. I double check mission frequencies just in case. The only thing I could think of is my altitude was too low on the other missions as I was at angels 7-8 on every mission but 16 where I was at angels 17. And on mission 8 I couldn't even get a response from JTAC for the mortar locations.

The only issues I'm having right now is with JTAC. I can get the first nine line read to me but after that when I call to copy remarks nothing. I haven't had the same issue with other missions. Just missions in this campaign. Is this a DCS issue or a campaign issue?

Everyone is different but I don't use zoom ever. I find it to be unrealistic. But to each there own.

I find I get a call of unable for start up if something is taking off. Not sure why that is. And the unable to clear for take off is a know issue. You can ignore both unable calls if you want to. But it does need to get fixed.

Are you using the right radio for the tower. Not the frequency, but the AM radio. There are three and you have to use the AM radio. If you're using MHz that is the middle radio (UHF), and JTAC is usually the aft radio (FM). Although a couple times in the campaign it's been on the AM radio.

Not sure why it didn't respond. I haven't had any issues. It did take a minute but it did respond. JTAC on the other hand is super slow.

China Hat Forward Short is your friend. It zooms in the camera and then TMS up short to force lock on. Depending on the angle I can lock from 6-7 miles out.

Sweet! And no worries. I know I mistype a lot.

lol I didn't do the practice missions because it was just a refresher for me. I hadn't flown for a little bit due to me moving. So when this came out I downloaded it to refreshed everything up.

That was my problem! I was releasing at 8K. I didn't see the need to drop lower since I was just lighting up the area and WP was at 8K. If you don't mind I would make a suggestion. Either add the altitude for correct deployment in the brief or add that comment by the FE. Maybe it is in there and I missed, but that seems like a super important thing to know.

I had the same issue with pilot names and with JTAC being a bit slow. I noticed that documents had a push time of 1038, but the in game brief had a push time of 1048. Now that could be due to the fact that those docs are when I first downloaded the campaign and could have been fixed. But your problem with ATC is you are on the wrong freq. ATC for Nellis is 125.00 AM not 124.00 AM.

So I've been looking for some info about the F-18 stick. And I don't see anything outside of a few comments in the beginning. Is there an update for those?

Hey Sabre, congrats on the DLC release. I absolutely love your missions man. I assume you're going to release the tactical training as well. With that assumption, I would like to make a suggestion for the first mission. Instead of watching you land in a helo, and then listening to the FR explain what you'll be doing, why not have a mission where you fly from Kobeleti to Vaziani and have the FE explain the mission during the flight. You did a similar thing at the end of the Basic training. Taking off from Batumi and landing at Kobeleti. Just an idea for you to think about. Keep up the hard work buddy.

And never mind I seemed to have gotten it to work.

This is the message that pops up when I try to start the program. Unable to execute file: C:\Program Files (x86)\VoiceAttack\VoiceAttack.exe CreateProcess failed code 740. The requested operation requires elevation. Please help me as I really liked using this before but I find it crucial with the rift.

I have had voice attack for a while, but I was in a move that took longer than expected. When I tried to used it again, I kept getting some weird message, and the program wouldn't work. So I uninstalled it and I still can get it to work. It would be nice to use this again with the rift as hitting the F keys is a bit difficult lol.

It's a gas truck. It should be right off the taxi way. I want to say it taxi way bravo.

Is the website down right now? I'm trying to get a fresh install of voice attack and the website won't come up.

This happens to me every once in a while when I'm landing on any of the missions. I find that just having my wing man orbit before I get to the approach fix and then call for him to RTB when I've landed cures the issue.
