Yes! Black Spire is my favorite. Great missions. :thumbup:

Great advice from Super Wabbit! In all honestly, the F18 is probably the best aircraft to tackle these fine missions. I may have to get back into the Hornet. All I really fly lately is the A10C and Harrier, so my A2A capabilities are limited, which is why I get overwhelmed with enemy CAPs. :D

Go to the assigned sector and blow up the target. It can be tough though as you need to dispatch air to air assets to help. It's never enough. It's a hard mission to play if you are a ground pounder, but it's good fun. I usually call for air to air, air to ground and SEAD every mission, even if i don't need it. Purely to fill the sky with allied planes so I can sneak in and do the mission.

surprised people don't like the gazelle. it flies like a dream in my opinion.

i seem to have it down pretty good now. i have everything switched on that i normally would. nothing off anyways. i pretty much ignore everything but the vertical speed. last night as i was closing to within range of the tanks i was hunting, i put it into autohover on the first try. just keep the vertical speed at or around zero when you are slowing down.

yes. thank you. VS works well. very handy. was able to get it again tonight on a mission pretty quickly. same as before focus on speed. vertical speed and ground speed.

This time I ignored the ADI and just kept an eye on ground speed and vertical speed. Lots of collective adjustments as I kept the vertical speed around zero while slowing down. I think I was chasing the DOP lines on the ADI. Ignoring it completely seemed to work for me.

a successful evening. managed to get the M into auto hover on two missions. many T-55 were blown up. :)

try the mission editor forum.

thanks for the vid. he made it look so easy. I have been pretty much just flying the L so I don't have to use autohover, but will jump in the M tonight and try again. :)

hi chicki. looks like you're doing it right. it should spawn where you put the marker down. do you have enemy (and allied) CAPs activated? then you'll have lots to shoot at! :)

i think it's because it's based off Ace Combat universe where all countries have common aircraft, but a classic Blue vs Red option might be cool as well for sure! :)

hey Surrexen! Does adding a random unit wreck anything? I am clearing the Nevada map of red, but there is 2x MPAD infantry on the bridge by the Hoover Dam. I've cleared every unit around the area but I just can't get rid of these guys. I've tried missiles, rockets, jdams. They always miss. As a bit of a completionist and to make it kinda part of the story, I want to send in a tank or two to clear out the last remnants of the enemy holding the damn. So if I plop a Abrams on the bridge in the mission editor to kill these two last units that i can't get from the air, will things be cool? Thanks!

thanks guys!

here's a quick question. does destroying a building that could be part of a mission, but not the current one wreck anything? or does that mission just get removed from the pool? I am realizing i am probably blowing up a lot of buildings that are for missions. :D

good info! thanks LastRifleRound!

Looks interesting! Does it have it's own cockpit or is it the Blackshark's cockpit? Thanks!

thanks! I am a fan of the L variant myself, but will try the M. Auto hover is still a big challenge for me. :D

ah. good call!

loving the JDAM's and have had good success. Last night there was a weird little issue. Was heading towards the target area and I had the big circle and things were looking good. then before i got within the big circle it turned into a little circle that was barely as big as the target area. not sure why that happened.

Thanks Wakeshift. Appreciate the reply! I couldn't reproduce the issue last night, but will try your suggestions if it happens again. Regards

Hi all. I have been enjoying playing several wonderful missions made in the Missions section that have 'persistence' where any unit destroyed, stays destroyed if you leave the mission and come back later. Was thinking about making a simple mission or two and wanted to have persistence as well. Is that a script or another tool that adds this to a mission? Thanks very much for any info!

definitely takes some practice. i still struggle with it. mainly when slowing down, i all of a sudden shift into backwards flight.

Hello sir. Quick question on your campaign...what variant of the Gazelle is used in the campaign? Thanks!

Thanks for the quick update! Another question, sorry I have had a lot lately, do you think I’d mess anything up by switching out the Huey with the Gazelle at Nellis and Cheech?
