There was some problem with the kneepoard pictures. The updated mission is available on the DCS website. Link in the first post.

Hello everybody, I'm getting a few unexpected AI behevior when issuing tasks with LUA. As an example, I wrote this simple script to order "a01" to orbit over a trigger: function orbit_task(unit, zone_name, orbit_speed, orbit_altitude) orbit_zone = trigger.misc.getZone(zone_name).point orbit_point = {x = orbit_zone.x, y = orbit_zone.z} local orbit = { id = 'Orbit', params = { pattern = 'Circle', point = orbit_point, speed = orbit_speed, altitude = orbit_altitude, } } unit:getController():pushTask(orbit) end orbit_task(Unit.getByName("a01"), "orbit_zone", 145, 4000) In the attached mission, the code is executed after 10 seconds. After 120 seconds I order the aircraft to switch back to waypoint 1, using the in-editor AI TASK PUSH command. The aircraft execute the first command and start orbiting, but the second command has no effect. I tried AI TASK SET, and it doesn’t make a difference. I also tried getController():popTask(), which has no effect, and getController():resetTask(), which sends the aircraft to the closest airport. Can anybody help me? lua_task_test.miz

MIG-21 - Red Eagles Ground Controlled Intercept Mission The 4477th Test and Evaluation Squadron (4477 TES) was created to expose the Tactical Air Forces to the flight characteristics of fighter aircraft used by Soviet Union during the Cold War. The declassified history of the squadron shows that it operated MiG-17s, MiG-21s and MiG-23s between 1977 and 1988, and was formally disbanded in July 1990. It’s 1983, and as a Red Eagle Aggressor, you will fly a tactical intercept against a B-1B bomber. In this fast-paced intercept mission at high altitude, the Bandit will fly at Mach 1.4, so you need to follow closely the instructions provided by the Ground Controlled Intercept (GCI) Officer, who will place you in the perfect position to employ your all aspect-missiles. Features: Close Control GCI script with voice-overs. Kneeboard and mission brief with custom Departure and Approach procedures. Note: The mission requires the NTTR map. The mission requires you to actively use the radio, so Easy Communication has been disabled. No voice-over, with the exception of GCI synthetic voice. For the sake of simplicity, since Mig-21 uses the metric system, all the measures in mission and documentation are expressed using the metric system.

The IR imaging camera built in the targeting pod can't pick up IR lights emitted by strobes or IR laser designators, unlike NVGs. They work on two different wavelengths. There's no need to exactly know the ranges, but it is important to know that they don't mix.

Free and public. And will be available for download in a few hours.

Thank you for your kind words. I'm really glad to hear that you liked it. The departure and recovery procedure aren't historical, I couldn't find much material from the 50s. I tried to create something easy enough for the navigation equipment of the Sabre. Thanks again for the feedback.

Edit

The campaign is now uploaded to the DCS website.

Thanks, and please feel free to provide any feedback on this thread.

Hello everybody, this is my first attempt at making a SP campaign. It’s set in 1957 at Nellis AFB and puts the player in the boots of a Fighter Weapons School student. The missions are heavily scripted, so please make sure that you closely follow the instructions. It comes with the following features: 4 SP missions. 10 custom NDBs for navigation. Documentation including mission orders and maps. Custom kneeboards with mission orders. 230 voice-overs. Many aspects are at an amateur level, that’s because I had no idea of what I was getting into at first, and I started worked on dialogs way before completing the research phase (which took about 7 months). As I started learning about tactics, radio procedures, aviation in general and LUA scripting, I realized my mistake, but I couldn’t change much without trashing the voice-overs that were already done (and other people’s free work can’t be trashed). Anyway, I believe that this campaign can still be fun and contains some interesting features. I also included some of the books that I used for research in the download. Hope you enjoy it! I thank Datek, Feefifofum and MasterZelgadis for the help, patience, suggestions and voices that they provided. I appreciated it.

Hi everybody, Could anyone please provide some references or first hand stories about Usaf in the late 1950s? I'd like to learn more about training, Atc, range procedures, syllabi, etc. In particular I'm interested in the training of Sabre’s pilots at Fighter Weapons School at Nellis. Thanks.

I'll take a look at it. Thanks

There's no easy answer, because, as you might understand, we're talking about very complex activities that involve coordination of air, sea and land operations. Anyway, you can start from these readings : https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_air-ground_task_force https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Expeditionary_Strike_Group https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_expeditionary_unit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aviation_combat_element

Is there anything more important than that?

You can still change the second number by editing the "mission" file inside the .miz file.

Thanks mate, I was going crazy. I will test both wav and ogg. Thanks again. Inviato dal mio S2 utilizzando Tapatalk

Hello everybody, I've just started looking into lua scripting for communications management, mostly as an experiment. I decided to start with something apparently easy as having an AI aircraft transmit a radio message via lua script. After a couple of hours, still no joy!! So, this is how I set it up: I loaded the audio file using a sound to country trigger (and i made sure that the file is actually inside the DEFAULT folder); I set the player on the ramp on an F-86 (engine started and radio on 225 MHz AM); I set the AI aircraft in-flight nearby and made sure that he's on the same freq; I fired the script with a simple time more trigger; And...nothing! I also tried the same with different aircrafts... still nothing. Here's the script I wrote: function radio_test(unit) local radio_message = { id = 'TransmitMessage', params = { duration = 20, subtitle = "alpha check to home plate", loop = false, file = "alpha check to home plate.wav", } } unit:getController():setCommand(radio_message) end do radio_test(Unit.getByName("a01")) end And I'm attaching the miz files. Anybody could please tell me why it isn't working? Thanks. Radio Test - Caucasus.miz Radio Test - NTTR.miz

Hello everyboby, I'm looking for a pdf file of any Red Flag IFG to use as a reference. I searched the whole forum and I found this links: http://www.vusaf.us/RFN13/resources/...e/RFN13IFG.pdf http://www.vusaf.us/RFN14/resources/...e/RFN14IFG.pdf And they're all broken. :doh: If anybody has a copy of such file, please, post it here or PM me. Thanks

Hi, The roster is full, now. Thanks anyway

Thanks but I found all the actors that I needed. Anyway, I will count on you for the next missions.
