Incredibly well stated, especially the last sentence. It is a miracle we have what we have at all in today's gaming industry.

I wish you all the best come June with the new modules and terrains. Be strong my good man.

Great campaign! The only issue I have is in the later stages of the campaign the Mi 8 routinely hover checks after takeoff and lands right on top of me before I am ready to take off. Seems to happen at random. Another time the Mi 8 hovered directly over top of me during takeoff.

I think this might have been fixed. I tested a quick mission late last night in Persian Gulf and I noticed a very small amount of movement that stopped once I got the engine running. This was with the Huey and I was sitting on the Tarawa mind you but the ship was moving at 10kts.

Its now in the loadout screen with the weapons. On the very left of hardpoints you add or deselect it there.

Is there a snowballs chance in Hades this might be in the patch tomorrow?

Sedlo, again you are a genius. I scoured, or thought I did, through the .lua files and didn't find anything for the UHF being related to COMM1_FREQ. Thanks again, you saved the day.

Ok everyone. Now how about the Apache? I am trying the usual UHF_FREQ VHF_FREQ But I am not getting any job with trigger activation. I am hoping someone on the previous posts will be able to figure this one out?

Check out this vid and make sure you are following the proper procedures. Remember, only the E2 Laser MAV will allow self lasing, the other laser variant is only for buddy lasing ei: JTAC or second ship.

I don't know what happened, some patch last year came in and borked the screen lighting. There is another thread out there somewhere asking for default setting for each screen individually but you are right, everything was fine in the past. I mostly use the Harrier when I'm in DCS and prior to last year, I never had to touch the contrast/gain except for rare tweaks in low light conditions.

You may want to fiddle around with the Gain setting to get the best results but I did find having contrast at about 70 was a good fit. With the gain too high I was finding that the EHSD map was too bright and I couldn't see the text for the push buttons so I set mine at around 40 for Gain.

Kinda sounds like base game AI issues and not campaign issues but who knows. How do you like the rest of the campaign? I've been thinking about picking this one up.

Bizarre this bug has hung around for so long without getting fixed. Makes ship based ops with helos pretty much pointless in certain scenarios

I was just searching for this same info last night and what I came across was by default L Cntrl + V will change from dropping symmetrical pairs to dumping all bombs of the same type. The tricky part is there is no indication on the HUD or dash anywhere that you've made this setting change. As far as I know I don't believe the Flankers have the option to set the ripple timing at all.

There is already a couple of mission sets that do this to a certain extent. Apache Hunting Ground has I think 100+ random CAS 'calls for help' and there is a similar mission for the Hind. The Kiowa could easily be included into these types of missions as long as the enemies were mostly infantry based or light truck to reflect COIN. Something to maybe check out for inspiration or ask the author if you could modify the existing mission set.

It'll come eventually, no reason I can think of they wouldn't do the whole FC3 package.

I'm sure you've already checked into this but it does sound like you've had a resolution setting change with Windows.

New Patch coming this week? Been a long wait for issues that popped up with the last one regarding mission triggers.

Someone else might be able to confirm this for me but I am pretty sure the Harrier doesn't have Fly By Wire, so maybe that helps get you started?

I like the map, but I have to agree. It should have maybe been named Strait of Hormuz instead.

This is related to a bug that ED is aware of regarding trigger zones and it is supposedly fixed internally in their build. We should see a bunch of campaign issues currently affecting a bunch of missions fixed with the next patch. Hopefully, this upcoming week if we are lucky!

Thank you sir, you've opened an entire new world for me!

Sorry to necro this one up from the grave CHPL but I was wondering if I could borrow some of your knowledge? Do you know what script or argument numbers are for setting the door gunners status? I'd like to make a mission similar to Reflected's Paradise Lost where the mission creator controls when the door gunners free fire/hold fire but I can't seem to find the proper Lua command for that similar to the side door open/close command.

This is correct for the Harrier, its systems only allows 1 video feed to be displayed at any given time. So the procedure if you are self lasing is to make sure you designate and fire your laser in the TGP screen then switch to LMAV. You should see the seeker track across the HUD and find the laser spot if everything is done right.

Thanks for finding that.
