Well on the way with this follow up campaign. Need some voice overs, playing the part of an American F18 pilot. If interested, please PM me. Thanks Badger633

Absolutely! Was waiting for the boat specific codes but will include in the next update anyway. Unfortunately too late for the imminent one. Cheers Badger633

Hi No problems always welcome a heads up, if possible I can then get them fixed. Cheers Badger633

Hi No, if you are having problems with gun accuracy it's certainly not intentional. In fact we cannot control this basic function under mission scripting. if you are having problems best report it to ED. Hope this helps. Badger633

Just checked it out and it started in the night as normal. It is set at 0300 hours with a full moon. what is different ?

Not sure what you mean?

Hi Strange, because wingman gets no new script instructions throughout most of the mission certainly in the dam area. Only thing that comes to mind is if he has run out of fuel. How is the wingman flying at the dam exactly? level, up and down ? (If you are not mindful of your wing and have been pulling away and flying really fast the wing can use an extraordinary amount of fuel trying to format with you.) Has this happened more than once? Do you have Tacview? A Tacview file of the issue would be really helpful. Could also be a DCS AI bug issue. There appears to be a lot lately affecting a lot of campaigns. I will check it out. Look forward to your reply. Badger633

Excellent! hope you enjoy the rest of the campaign Badger633

Hi You are flying too close to the target. If you get too close the SAM site will go into red alert and shoot your JSOWs down. The mission challenge is about getting and controlling your aircraft high enough to release your weapons without getting to close. It’s all set out in the in game brief. Tips: Make sure you set all three JSOWs to TOO before your approach will make release quicker. Also if getting too close release the JSOWs in more than one run. Hope this helps Badger633

Hi Yes, as far as I am aware DCS does not have the Stennis in the Super Carrier module. This Campaign was originally released before the Super Carrier module was a thing and so was based on the original Stennis as was all the voice overs. Later as requested by fellow pilots I released the SC version of the campaign but had to use the Truman SC in its place. ( I explain this in the in game brief). I am aware there are mods that will, maybe, allow a SC version of the Stennis. However mods should not be used in released campaigns as they can become unstable with DCS updates. Glad your enjoying the campaign Badger633

Thanks. Yes hope it gets fixed soon. It’s one of those difficult ones which doesn’t seem to be consistent.

Hi Yes it seems to be a recent DCS bug. I need to look into it. In the meantime if you go to the starboard side to refuel, as you are instructed, and you cannot connect then move directly to the port side as the AI wingman seems to now to be deciding to head starboard side sometimes but not always. This never happened before but updates seems to changed things. Could you let me know if it’s only happened on this or other missions. Hope this helps and will confirm when resolved. Badger633

Hi When that happens it normally means the wingman has run out of fuel. Is the air fight going on for a long time? Also try not speed unless you have to and give him time to join you. If he is having to use a lot of burner to keep up he could be using a lot of fuel. Hope this helps Badger633

Hi Just checked it out using the live campaign mission. Had no problems in both removing the chocks and rearming. To confirm, the only matter that is locked in the missions is turbulence. So not sure what the issue is as cannot create this end. I assume easy comms and radio assist is off in your settings. Also what procedure are you using. Canopy up or down, power to the radio on and which radio switches are you using to call up the menu. Badger633

Hi Have you still got this problem? Not sure what you mean by ground crew locked out? Badger633

Hi Will check it out. There has been a lot of AI updates and bugs which may have changed things. Do you have Tacview? A copy of the file would be really useful. Edit : Flew the mission today. Both bandits were there after the attack. Just need to use the ACM modes and search as they didn’t go to far. Thanks Badger633

Hi This is not a bug. So yes not a bug.. Hope this helps. Badger633

How are you finding the smoothness of the Varjo in DCS. I have index at the moment and like how smooth things are. A little concerned that if I get the Arjo it might be a bit jerky. I am using a SSD, I9900k overclocked to 5ghz and a Strix 3090 video card. Thanks

No problem, you will find as you go through my campaigns they will force you to do and learn more. Also by giving the EZ refuel option it allows you to fly the campaign even if you cannot yet capture the basket. This takes time and practice, but you will get it in the end and then you can re-fly the campaign using the full A2A refuelling version. Yes the AA I refer to is the AA setting on your Tacan. Do not select it but make sure the T/R is set. Open beta is the best as my campaigns are written and updated first in open beta. Hope you enjoy the campaign. Badger633

HI Just checked mission 4 just now. Tacan operated correctly. You need to have T/R selected and AA not selected? Are you getting the message that you are signal Tank with the Tacan code etc. If you are the tanker will be activated if not it will not. I assume you are in open beta and have last weeks update. I revised all missions in this recent update resetting the Tacans in all missions as this got them working again.

Thanks cobragva Currently in DCS you must not select AA just T/R when trying to contact the tanker with TACAN. Just like ground based TACAN. Hope this helps let me know if it doesn’t. Badger633 Edit: Just checked, worked ok this end without AA selected.

You must have been hit by a missile in the air from the last mig which was killed by the ground based SAMs before the missile hit. As suggested by the Kutaisi ATC message, best strategy is to get past the base and then turn and go offensive against the migs to avoid being killed from your six.

Hi rob10 is right, currently the Tacan in DCS has to be operated with TR only and not with AA. The trouble is many and myself included still couldn’t contact the Tanker even without AA selected. I have fixed it now by resetting the script for the tacan for every Tanker mission in all my campaigns. This is with ED and will be in the next update. You are correct the JTAC is a DCS issue and not the mission. The JTAC has got some issues at the moment and I have noticed it even in the campaign missions I am working on now, especially when reading back the weapons to be used. Best thing to do is report it to ED so they can look into it. Hope you enjoy the campaign

Normally the VR correction lens companies ask for your prescription for looking into the distance. I assume this will be the same for the Varjo?

Will have a look at it. Always worked previously. However, there has been a lot of DCS updates over the last few months which have changed how the AI behaves, this disrupting a lot of campaign missions. The wingman should engage the Migs as well but only one of them. Which mission 10 are you playing, Harder or normal? EDIT: Have re-scripted both so should work now. Will be in next DCS update. Thanks Badger633
