Found problem....between my ears...:)

Here is a video clip. I actually shot it 4 times, but am only able to share a 50 meg file so I had to trim it. Each shot is a direct hit, with both IR as well as radar hellfires. Result is always the same....truck keeps on firing away. Maybe I have a setting wrong? Not sure, but all of the other missions up to mission 12 have worked perfectly. Trim_Shot_1.mp4

On mission 12, I have foud the targets to be invincible. I fired all of my hellfires, one by one, into a truck with a gun mounted. Every one hit, and even tho it killed the soldiers around the vehicle, it did no damahe to the vehicle. I checked the stats, and they say "hit" on each hellfire, but never a kill. Damn thing shot me down when I tried to close for rockets or guns.

Thanks. This seems to be the issue. I re-read the manual and it does say George prioritizes the targets, and as you mention it does shoft to the AA threat from the tank. Thanks for the response.

I am having an issue with George AI shifting off my target. I give the give the TADS/PHS Search command (Up Short) and George says scanning and selects the correct target. Then, as he says descanning, the target shifts to another target and that is what the TADS tracks. I have a video of it attached. I assume I am making an error, but I sure don't know what I am doing wrong. Any help appreciated. I am not using VR. I had to trim the file to fit, so I could not show the TADS screen. It shows the tads locked to the target it shifted to, and not the one it initially locked on. Digital Combat Simulator Black Shark 2024.09.14 - 23.19.38.02.mp4

Problem solved....just loaded a few HARMS in place of external tanks and took them out myself on the way from WP9.

I played nission 1 a number of times since the 2.9.7.59074 patch. The Springfield flight that is supposed to take out the SA-2 will not engage. They simply fly around outside the SA-2 range. I tried waiting on them the last time I flew the mission, and they still stayed out of the action.

OK....tried this mission a number of times. It was TOUGH for me. Basically 4v1 against the SU-33's...at least until I realised that my wingman was taking his sweet time engaging. Watched it on Tacview and saw that after I splashed the first 2 but got bounced by #3 and shot down, he finally got around to engaging the other 2...and he is invincible. Sooooo....next time I played it,when he said spread right, I did a 180, disengaged, and didn't engage at all until he had time to do his thing with unlimited missiles and his invincibility. When I saw he had splashed 2, I re-engaged and ended up splashing the remaining SU-33 (he got the other as I was inbound) and all 4 SU-24's. I figure if my wingman can't be shotdown, he can be first in whenever possible...:)

Thank you! And I understand the issues with programming the actions of the planes. Appreciate that you are working on this. As I said, good campaign. Thanks for the quick response. Mike

The flight lead, especially in Mission 8, has me really frustrated. I wait for her to get cleared to plug, then I go ahead and start my refueling. She finishes about a minute ahead of me, and takes off. I need to go to AB to catch her, wasting most of the fuel I just took onboard. Seems she should wait in formation with tanker while I finish and then we can go to the target together. I did see that she is invincible, as I put 500 rounds, 2 sidewinders, and an AAMRAM into her plane before ramming her to end the mission. It's hard to concentrate on anything while flying but keeping up with the wild flying of the flight lead. Good campaign, but it would be a lot better if the flight lead would not fly so erratic, OR maybe loosen the didtance requirements for the wingman. In addition, how about giving us a bit of time for us to spot a target. As it stands, JTAC gives the picture, and she sees all, immediatly...through clouds. When I have to spend a minute finding the target since my see thru cloud vision isn't as good as hers and I have to get into a clear area, she gives me "do you have a problem" and then tells me to orbit while she uses her x-ray vision to attack the target. As I said, good campaign....just these few frustrating items.

For the life of me I can't get Chig to lock up the enemy jet that Paco missed with hsi AIM-54. When about 80 miles out, Chig says "sorted right", but locks a bandit on both the right and left groups. We kill both tartgets, but the bandit in the right group that was never targeted leaks thru. I put mo nose on his bearing (according to the ECM) but CHIG never locks him. I finally go to PCM mode and lock him, but by then the bandit has his missile in the air and we hit each other. Can I get Chig to lock this guy sooner? I am sure I am making a mistake, but I can't figure it out. Have done this mission about 8 times....always same result. Help!..:)

I purchaced this module fromthe DCS E shop but it does not show up in my module manager. Any hints on how I can download it?

Damn...I had a rectal cranial inversion. After reading the brief closer I think I saw my problem. Sorry.

Thanks for putting together a great campaign. I am on Mission 14 and for some reason Flip is telling Olive to detach once we get near Carpet. I have no idea why. I get the position (230 for 10 from carpet) and fly there. As we get there Flip Says "Olive, Detach", and I never see her again. I kill 2 ZSU's in the town with Maverick and CBU, but get hit trying to get other one with rockets (got ZSU tho). Need Olive to help. I have flown this one about 6 times. I figure I must be doing something wrong since I am the only one I have heard of having this issue. Any help would be appreciated. Merry Christmas! Mike

Thanks for the fast response. I appreciate it! Great campaign. Mike

On mission 14. Sank the Sub and then was routed to intercept Mig...335 for 40 miles at 20K. Flew down bearing and could not ever find the mig. Tried two different times. Any idea what I may be doing wrong? Scanning with both high and medium PRT in both RWS and TWS.

I think I have an answer for you. I came here because I was having the exact same issue. I checked my control options and noticed that "Coolie Hat Down Down" command had been mapped to "coolie hat up" on my throttle, and the "Coolie Hat Up" command had not been mapped at all. I have no idea how this came to be, since I never edited the coolie hat command. I even deleted the sim and re-added it when I could not get it to work the first time. I guess I should have checked the controller files first thing.:)

I wouldn't worry about that guy. Jerks tend to be jerks. That's life. cheers..:)

I am having trouble completing mission 14, the deep strike mission where Saint decides to sit it out. I get to the target and put bombs on target. We then encounter 2 F-5's and I shoot them both down; one with AIM-120 and the other with AIM 9M. Flip ask Tron 5-1 is he has us in sight. Tron answers he does not and then about a minute later I get a message saying "mission over blue winner" and the mission ends. I receive only 40 percent for a score. I know in the book Flip and Weed have to engage the Mig-35 and Flip shoots him down. I am sure I made a mistake somewhere but can't figure out where. I hit all the waypoints leading to the target and observed all altitude restrictions. I got the "houseboat" go signal as expected. Anyone have any hints?

LOL....no worries man. I was able to get a lot better at 2 v 10 and practicing cranking and notching...:) Excellent work and I really appreciate the effort and thought that obviously went into the product. Looking forward to your next project.

Mission 12 Problems Completing I love this campaign. It is very enjoyable and challenging; best I have played. I am having a problem completing mission 12 (Alert 7) with a good score. I go to the anchor point, and successfully defend rain forest against the 10 SU-24's and Mig 29's, shooting down all of them between myself, wing man and the 2 Mirage-2000's from UAE. I then respond "tiger" when asked about fuel state since I am not a joker (have about 8k left). I am directed then to commit against 2 tomcats to the north. They immediately fire AIM-54 at us and we defend by notching and chaff. One Mirage gets hit and my wing-man says good chute. We are then relieved on station and given the option of refueling or contacting Marshal. I change to Marshal freq (Button 3 this mission) and press space to have wing man do the same. From here I never hear from marshal so I contact them as I normally would using the comms. Am told BRC is 358 see me at 10. I do as requested, kissing off wing man using space bar as requested, and land on the carrier (with a 3 wire in last case). When I check my wing man he is headed west over the mountains towards the target area again. I quit the mission and receive a score of 50 for the mission, even tho I got a lot of points for kills. Can anyone tell me what i am missing here not to get 100 percent for mission completion? I have flown this mission at least 10 times with the same type of results. Thanks!!
