Hi Have been checking, I think it may be a DCS bug, you may have to do without it. Done some research, apparently, it may not work when added to an existing mission, which it had to be as ACLS was not out when ROPL was made. By all means let ED know of the bug on the forum. Regarding mission 7 and getting lock, have a look at my video on just that. Glad you're enjoying the campaign

Hi, yes, it is supposed to work. Just checked the mission and I have set up Link 4 to 336.00 and also activated ACLS so should work. To be honest, I never use the ACLS system and assumed it was working as it has been set in the script and nobody has raised it to date. I will have a look into it. Is it the same for all the missions? Thanks

Been busy with new campaign but will look at this issue and come up with a solution so that there is no requirement to load the TGP as this comes later in the campaign. EDIT: Have now fixed this so vehicles are picked up by radar in GMT mode no need for TGP. Will be in next update.

No problem, that’s fine, always appreciate a heads up as it is near impossible to constantly check all the missions in every campaign after each DCS update. There are a lot of changes going on under the bonnet that can sometimes disrupt existing campaigns especially when related to AI.

Hi Thanks, will check it out. In case one of the updates has impacted this mission. I always leave pilots open to change their loads if they wish. EDIT: Update just checked this out. Run it about four times couldn't repeat this end. Each time all Migs were shot down. This the supercarrier version without easy air to air refuel. As I cannot repeat this end, If you get it again, could you get a Tacview of the issue if possible as a Tacview file will help me pin it down. Thanks

I will have a look at the mission. It used to be quite easy to pick them up even with only the maverick page. Things over time have changed, I will review it. Badger633

Hi The targets are moving so use your radar in GMT mode which picks up moving vehicles. Hope this helps Badger633

Roger. Interesting, not seen that video

Hi Yes those are the settings. Not sure how experienced you are with A2A refuel? When on the basket or very close you should not be experiencing a lot of vortex effects. If you are constantly having to move the stick in one direction it is probably your trim is out. This could be if you have used some of the weapons and are heavier on one side. You must trim before you even approach the tanker so you can fly straight and level hands off. You will also need to fine tune your trim as your speed reduces to the tankers. Also in A2A refuel you will always have to be making slight adjustments with column and throttle to keep in formation with the tanker that is normal. If it is constantly in one direction then your trim is out. Hope this helps

HI Marco I am not sure is the honest answer. Make sure you have selected in settings that your settings are to take priority and try switching off vortex. It shouldn't be a problem though. The vortex are coming off the wing tips. Try making your approach for a good distance back between the wing tips. You can also try staying low out of his slip stream and slowly rise up when close , but stay between wingtips. I very rarely get thrown around as long as you stick to the above. Hope this helps Badger633

Hi, yes it’s a DCS bug, have reported it , will get a fix for next update. Thanks for the heads up. EDIT 24 AUG 22 : Now fixed in todays update.

Thanks, will have a look at what’s happened. Which version Normal / harder / eze refuel?

No problem fly it as you like as long as you enjoy it. The idea of the Serpent's Head, The Serpent's Head 2 and Rise of the Persian Lion Campaigns is they are a set of campaigns with a continuous plot that get slowly more difficult as they progress. What many do is when they get stuck at something they will read up or look it up on u tube, master what they need to to complete the mission. So as you progress through the campaigns you are becoming more proficient with the Hornet. Weapons are normally selected to test you at various aspects, but you can do what you like

I think the initial fail is probably due to distance and radio shadow as they are obscured by hills. Why it does not work after that, not got a clue. You might want to report it to ED as a potential bug. Hope you enjoy the campaign.

Hi Give it a try, contact them when 20 miles out as in the written brief you are also reminded on route. Fly at Angels 15. Yeah, just checked, Angels 10 is not in the brief but given to you as a clearance on launch and also via a clearance over Batumi. This however would not apply when in the combat arena you select the best height for the job. ATC would not know if you have a missile chasing you, so you do what's needed when in the combat arena. As I have said, I flew the mission and got the JTAC fine so cannot repeat this end. If there was a bug, which I do not think is the case, it is not a mission scripting issue but a main DCS bug as mission scripting does not govern the ability to communicate with the JTACs. Best of Luck

Will check it out. How high were you and what distance from the target were you when trying to contact JTAC? You will need to carry out a strike hitting the correct buildings and so need the JTAC. UPDATE: Just checked it out contacted JTAC without any problem. Make sure you are contacting them within the 20 miles and i was at a height of Angels15. You could be getting radio shadow if your lower and too far away. Other than that check you are using the correct Comm 1 button to call up the radio menu. Which version are you playing. Super Carrier , not Super Carrier / easy A2A or normal? Hope this helps Badger633

Hi will check it out. Badger633

No problem , hope you enjoy

Hi Yes, supposed to be there. Bit of maintenance going on you must use Cats 3 and 4

Hi Yes rar to miz is normal. The idea of the rar is simply that it contains all the files you need to install in your saved games directory in one place. If you have installed everything correctly then you will have two campaign options. One will say SUPERCARRIER, this is the one you should select. If you want the supercarrier option obviously you have to own the Supercarrier module. Hope this helps, let me know if not. Badger633

I’d like to think you were in too much of a rush to fly the next mission in the campaign

Rightly or wrongly I never touch the ATT switch just leave it on Auto. I start both engines and as soon as I have 65 on both engines select CV. Then immediately select the stored alignment button on the HSI page. Then just wait till the ok message. Once this achieved move to the IFA position. Really important don’t release hand break until alignment fully complete.

Did you manage to get this sorted? If not send me a track of you trying to align. It won’t be a mission scripting issue but I may be able to point out the problem.

No problem, glad you got it sorted, hope you enjoy the campaign

Double check your coordinates you shouldn't be over land , that's probably what's triggered the failure to plug.
