I've a quick question. When orbiting India, and I call ready, the clock starts ticking for the 5 min vul. Generally I don't see the bandit for about 2 mins and that only leaves about 3 mins and maybe two passes to get a kill. Is there any better advice for this? Do the bandits only spawn when you call ready?

Why set 320 if it's the 335 radial? Why not set 335?

Ha! I only did BFM01 and only got one of the three F5's! I've got a long way to go!

Yeah - This is prob a magnetic variation thing. I also had probs in the northern part of the map getting LSV signal - I switched to Groom Lake and that helped. I was trying to be as exact as possible but I'm guessing that using TACAN far away from a TACAN station is fairly inaccurate. What is the best procedure to follow for TACAN nav then? I'm guessing, follow the departure to the letter and then from FYTTR its best to turn onto the bearing to JAYSN, dial in the new TACAN and fly to that point, then turn onto Flush bearing, dial in that TACAN and fly there - correct? So not only do I need the TACAN locations of each waypoint, I also need to note the bearings to each new waypoint. This is all very new to me as you have probably have guessed!

Copy that mate - I'll have a look a the heading changes. I've reworked the TACAN points for the waypoints too. I'll fly that again to check accuracy.

I've noticed that the TACAN points for the aggressor FAM flight waypoints on the map are not the same as the waypoints in the documentation. For example, if you look at the Nellis departure, FYTTR is 267 for 33 from LSV. However, if you look at the flight plan in the mission editor and draw ruler lines from LSV to the position of FYTTR, its at 281 for 33. I take it the magnetic variation is in effect? How does one use Mag Var properly? Mag to grid - get rid. Grid to Mag - Add. So, from the data on the map/docs, and translating this to 3d world, you add the variation - right? Looking at the docs, I see that LSV has a Mag Var of 15, adding 15 to 267 = 282 which is closer to my measurements within the map editor, however, the map editor must be out as this should still read 267 for 33. Am I missing something?

Hey Thanks Lino - That's great :-)

Thanks for the response Sabre - I'm looking forward to getting into this!

Just tried this campaign for the first time and for me, this requires quite a lot of ground school! - Just out of Nellis on the FAM flight and the lead ac is circling the base, I then turn onto Flex as requested, then I'm asked to turn west using some pretty hard core TACAN stuff that I wasn't ready for. I noticed the lead ac was behind me and I tried to rejoin but he turned into me as if in the merge! I was only 4-5 miles away from Nellis. I will start reacquainting myself with the TACAN procedures and study the docs in more detail. Is the lead ac supposed to be behind me? Why when I tried to rejoin did he turn into me instead of flying the track? Possibly simulating an instructor?

OBS - it's very good. However, you will always generate large files with uncompressed video footage!

Thank you :-)

So can anyone confirm that even after the 1.5.5 update I should still be seeing WIP on the F-5E icon. No one has answered that question. Many thanks.

Is it still supposed to be saying WIP on the icon in 1.5.5 and 2.0.3?

Yeah same. In both 1.5.5 and 2.0.3. I've just deactivated the module and uninstalled then reinstalled buy it's still showing up as WIP.

Hi all, My F-5E module is still showing up at WIP in both 1.5.5 and 2.0.3. I've tried normal updates, manual updates and the repair function but nothing seems to be working. Is there a way around this update issue? TIA

Still no joy :-(

Thanks PilotMI8. I'll give it another go :-)

My F5E is still showing up as WIP - in both 1.5.5 and 2.0.3. Is this normal after the out of early access notification?

I'm quite looking forward to Belsimtek's acb. When is that due?

The red flag missions for DCSW 2.0 was a lot of fun - but it does require you have 2.0 of course!

Just had this warning when trying to join a MP session. Problem was this: bazar/shaders/fxo/4d16f08754790490b7e2ed0488a4ce2b.fxo My 1.5.4 and 2.0 installs are all vanilla. Ran a repair on 1.5.4 and nothing changed. Do I just delete or rename the offending file?

Nothing like experience online! Get on the basis Vietnam server and go up against the mig21s. Great fun and a fairly steep learning curve. Well worth it in my opinion.

The W key will be on your keyboard, not in the jet. :P:cry::thumbup:

Ok, thanks mate.
