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.

Razbam had a newsletter a while back where they mentioned the first half of this year was going to be a big push for the Strike Eagle updates and fixes and come summer time they were going to revisit the Harrier and give it some much needed attention. Wish I could find the link to that article but I can't, so we could be waiting a while on this one.

This is good to hear as it seems right now almost all of the recent campaigns for the Hind are affected by this bug right.

I found that with this campaign sometimes I have to land on the FARP at the end of the mission, then pick the helo up off the ground a few meters and land again and zero the throttle and THEN I will get the queue that 'mission is complete'. I don't know what is could be but my hunch is an altitude trigger? Maybe the dev could have a look and confirm. Otherwise good campaign.

The AH-1W and I would be able to die complete! There's another vid out with Mover and Wags (can't find the link) where he says all the data for the AH-1W is now available and he alludes to 'one day we'll get around to it'.
