I checked the mission, and you are right, the first message is from the Heli FAC contacting you. after you orbit for some time, for the heli to get in position to mark the target you are cleared in. There are multiple truck convoys in the region, so, once you deal with one. FAC will assign you more targets, and eventually it will give you a RTB call.

I'm back tomorrow. I'll have a look. Cheers, Sorel

Sorry folks, response time may vary and fixes may be delayed. I'll be having a bit of time off.

Sorry, I was testing it on OB. That's weird, It may take some time to come up with a fix, as I'm away from the main computer for about a week.

Just tested that mission and the F10 works, also the rest of the mission works as expected. Are you on OB or Stable? I don't see any other reason why F10 wouldn't work in your case.

The convoy should be less than 50%. As for the weather, I grew up around Black Sea, on the other side, the weather in March stinks really bad, also, with the new very good looking clouds, I'm limited to presets rather than building the weather on my own. I know when that when I modified those mission for the new clouds those felt like the best balance. I was able to see the convoy without labels following the road low enough. I'll run a test and see how it looks like now. Maybe some things modified since the last update. You know, if you are getting frustrated, there's no shame in using the F10 and skipping it.

Hi there, It's a combination of both, indeed on this one, you have to stay on CAP for quite some time. I'm afraid that the AI in it's wisdom are venturing too close to the SAM sites and are being picked off by the HAWK site. I'll run a test and, if there are any problems i'll try to correct it and push an update. Cheers,

Caucasus, in winter, some long long time ago, before the Black Hawk got deployed. And, you know, there's no competition, just massive support from all the guys doing them.

Huey is going to get a lot of love, you, Reflected and me.

Yeah, it has to become second nature to babysit your wingman, but, if you think about it, good flight lead is all about that. Now, I'm sure that being a wingman you should know better, somehow the AI it's like, if i'm set for landing, I will land no matter what. The problem is that is such a complex beast, i wouldn't want to be to tangle with that code. Not to mention that nobody is going to buy more modules because DCS changed the AI.

Try to make sure you are getting the trucks as well. They are all part of the same group so the SAM can re-supply. The victory condition is 80% of the whole group. It really can be done with careful bombing, have a look here: I will probably change the victory conditions at a later update if you guys struggle with it. I know in a normal SEAD mission the radars are all that matters. I was trying to reproduce what the guys that formed the YGBSM squadron were doing with the F-100 where they went for the full site.

Thanks a lot for playing though it and for the feedback. I'm glad you had fun, something must've changed in the way AI does stuff, again. They are not supposed to engage or paint you with the radar. I'll test it and see what happens and push an update. Also for the M-24 i'll have to check the timing on it. When I made this campaign, you had to circle a few circuits but not a crazy amount of time, just enough to have a bit of fuel scare.

I'll add the freq in the briefing and add the base feq as a preset. That night mission works up a bit of an adrenaline kick.

Thanks a lot, enjoy.

I'll run a test tonight to make sure it goes the way it should. Cheers,

@BIGNEWY Can you please move this to the right location? Thanks a lot. @airjocky2 This campaign has it's own location on the forum, where I can monitor it and help you better. I don't want to give away any spoilers but your wingman has to snuff it. Also, you are most likely don't take enough of the adjacent units to that SAM site. You should have enough ordinance to clean the place up. Cheers, S

Cache works in mysterious ways.

Don't know. I wasn't expecting it at this update though. I know when Reflected submitted his and he was before this one. So, this one should be next.

Briefing and kneeboard file look okay on my end. I know that if you switch between missions and you play with ME sometimes there's some weird cache and some kneeboard files are still showing from the previous missions. It happened to me a few times but I couldn't reproduce it and log it as a bug.

I'll have a look at it. I wonder if something messed up in the mission or if there's a bug of some sort.

It gets introduced during the campaign as a mobile TACAN as supplies make it to Krymsk, when the weather turns for the worst. I'm not going to spoil it and tell you at what mission, but it is marked in the briefings.

When I made this campaign, I tried to avoid radio gymnastics, since the F-5 doesn't have a radio as capable as F-18 or F-16, pretty much all the campaign can be done without having to change the radio, except for talking to the ATC on the occasion you change the airports and you need to talk to the ATC. In 1.3 where I introduced TACAN I should have changed the kneeboards to represent that, unfortunately I have run out of time adjusting the weather and the clouds, so the kneeboards will get fixed at a next update. I don't think it takes away a whole lot from the playability of the campaign , but I know they will need to be adjusted. Cheers, Sorel

I believe that's how they were designed to be released, they are probably a bit too sensitive in DCS, otherwise no pilot would have flown with all those spicy eggs underneath.

All is submitted to the Eagle Dynamics team, I don't have a ETA but I'm assuming it is weeks.
