Hey @Stadius Just flew the mission, “Going for the chop”. All went ok, no problem with the F10. Remember, after you hit the vehicle firing on the downed crew you do get a message to call in lifter, but only when its safe. You need to take out the three vehicles coming up the hill before you will be able to access the F10 via the radio menu to call in Lifter. Tip: use your surface radar in GMT mode to target the moving vehicles. After one is hit they may stop. If so you will have to target using the Maverick display. Hope this helps.

Hey @Stadius It’s not a bug as far as I am aware. Firstly you do need to access the radio menu first to get access to the F10 option. Just to check, are you aware you need to use a different keyboard selection for the radio menu when you are in the air, and they are different depending on whether you are using radio 1 or 2. You are using radio 1. See extract from another post below. If this is not the issue could you send me your track of the mission so I can see what has happened? ——————————————————— As most Campaigns Easy Radio Comms is off. Therefore to communicate you must use the following bindings to call up the radio menu. 1 On the ground use \ 2 Using Radio 1 (Pri) use the COMM1 (call radio menu) LCtr+/ 3 Using Radio 2 (Aux) use COMM2 (call radio menu) RCtr+\ ———————————————————

@Pavletto No problem. Glad you got it sorted. Enjoy the campaign.

Hey @Pavletto Just tried to run your track file and just getting error each time. This on latest update. My other tracks running ok?

Hi @Pavletto Thanks for the track, yes they do get quite big, I am away from my rig until Saturday so will not be able to download it until then. I will then take a look and get back to you. As i said before on the easy refuel version you will never run out of fuel. This is the only way you can create a mission where you do not actually have to connect to the basket, which some pilots are yet to master. In the normal version of the campaign you will definitely run out of fuel if you do not connect and stay connected to the basket. Regarding the landing I will get back to you.

Hi @Pavletto Not sure what you are doing. Are you actually making contact with the basket? If so you shouldn’t be flying the EZ refuel version. If your not yet able to refuel on the basket then the EZ refuel is the correct version. Your fuel level will not increase if you fly within 0.5 of the tanker, so not sure what you are seeing. Your aircraft is set to never run out of fuel so will reduce to a point and then stay at that level it will not increase. To trigger the next stage of the mission you will have to fly very close to the tanker in a position as if you were connecting to the basket. Hope this helps. By all means send me your track so I can see what you are doing.

Hey @Pavletto I have checked the mission out. The blue marker smoke was missing and I have reintroduced and hopefully should be in the next update Checked the height of the Tanker and it was at Angels 25 until it reaches the coast. It will then head for home and may well fly lower. As explained above you will not run out of fuel in the easy refuel version, but you must get in the right position behind the tanker for the mission to move on. When your ready to carry out a refuel fully you should use the normal version of the campaign. ( In that you will run out of fuel if you do not tank). Hope this helps. If you have any other issues a track will be very useful.

Hey @Pavletto I will take a look why you are not seeing the blue smoke. Also I will look to put it on repeat so it stays longer. Regarding the refuel in EZ mode. Your fuel will not run out neither will it show full. This is the only way you can make a mission version where the pilot does not have to link with the basket like in the normal version of the campaign. In the easy refuel version you make the initial call to the Tanker then all you need to do is get in formation with the tanker as if you were going to catch the basket and you will get a refuel complete message and the mission will progress. No need to make a ready contact call to the tanker on the radio, this all as indicated in the brief. I will check the height of the Tanker and adjust if not at angels 25. If you have a track please send it through. Thanks, will let you know what I find.

Hey @cm2 Yeah, the intention was the wing would delay his formation call until after the angels 15 call exactly to avoid that situation. Fixed now so wing will still delay his call but wait sufficiently not to step on the angels 15 call. Also think I have fixed the audio conflict relating to whether the lead kills the Mig before the wing hits the sub and visa versa. Fix should be in next update Thanks for the heads up.

Hi @cm2 Will take a look. It is one of those difficult ones, always a problem when you have one audio triggered by killing your two migs ( a variable time) and another audio triggered by Matrix taking out his two migs. ( another variable time) when they occur very close you can get this conflict. Play it again and you might not get it. I will look if I can resolve it though. Thanks.

Hey @cobragva Which level did you select the default or Ace? Have you got a track or Tacview file you could send me of the mission showing the problem. I can see exactly what is happening then. Are you running any mods? The wing should definitely not crash, this could be a DCS bug. What should happen is the wing makes the first attack. You then get two attempts to take out soldiers on the Dam. If you get just one hit it will take out all of them. Are you running the latest update. How many times have you tried it. I will check it out this end also but those files would be very helpful. Thanks This is how it should go

Hey @DN308 Your experiences are Impressive and interesting. Are there any books or info you are aware of regarding Hornets coming from the sea down to the Green zone in the Sangay Valley?

Hey @Hillman Yes the S-3 is a challenge, if you can manage that the bigger tankers will be a breeze. You were right there is a typo in the Tacan set up for the ABE. Fixed now will be in next update. Thanks for the heads up.

· Missions 13 all variants: Sound file conflict fixed. · Missions 1 all variants: Wing RTBs low fuel fixed.

· Mission 8 all variants: Tech failure timer changed, Wing attacking wrong target fixed. All missions: Note added to brief explaining that although the D.T.C. facility has been added, for these missions no frequencies should be changed. The note was as follows : NOTE: THE ORIGINAL MISSION RADIO FREQUENCIES AND WAYPOINTS MUST BE MAINTAINED IF YOU CHOOSE TO USE AND EDIT A DATA TRANSFER CARTIDGE. THERE IS NEED TO EDIT OR USE THE DTC TO FLY THIS MISSION. Unfortunately there is a "NO" missing the last sentence should read, THERE IS NO NEED TO EDIT OR USE THE DTC TO FLY THIS MISSION. Apologies this will be corrected in next update.

Hey @DN308 Thanks for the kind words. Book looks interesting will give it a look. Not sure how much work the Hornet got in Afghanistan though. Where did you get JTAC experience? You will certainly come across some JTACs in my campaigns. Enjoy Rise of the Persian Lion and hopefully ROPL2 and Operation Green Line. Cheers.

No problem, I am also checking with ED.

@andytts It’s been a long time since I flew without the supercarrier module. Then, once you lowered the bar you had to press’U’ for the connection , then just throttle up. Don't think that may be the case now as so much has changed over the years. I will try and get the latest and get back to you.

Hi @andytts Can you launch in mission 4? What procedure are you using exactly, including your key selections . Can you send me a track of you attempting to launch. Thanks PS: Would obviously recommend getting the supercarrier module as it is so much better with all the crew directors etc.

Hey @Hillman Your correct there is a typo in the EZ refuel version. The normal and harder versions are OK. I have corrected this and will be in future update, too late to get it in the next one though. As for the tankers height, think you got confused with the message which indicated the tanker was in your 12 at Angels 15, easy done. "FORD GROUP : STRIKE SWITCH ARCO ON 352.00 YOUR PRI PUSH 3, TACAN 12X ARCO IS AT YOUR TWELVE RUNNING NORTH TO SOUTH ANGELS 15. CONFIRM REFUEL COMPLETE BY USING F10 FUNCTION" As I indicated in the briefs and in the mission text, due to a DCS bug, for some pilots the wing will not refuel but go AWOL and break the mission. In response I have had to adjusted all my campaign missions so that the wing does not refuel but stays in formation. At least then I am not getting complaints of missions breaking. Once again on this particular version of the mission I have missed disabling the wing refuel. Glad it worked for you. Used to be like that for all my missions until this bug. Thanks for the heads up, much appreciated.
