beppe_goodoldrebel Posted August 16, 2019 Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Red Flag Training Missions Campaign v1.0 - F-14B DOWNLOAD: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3304391/ Hello guys! I post this campaign here for better view to F14 users. Basically the same campaign but I've ironed triggers , bugs and added some little things here and there. Now it's a campaign only , I've removed all the single missions. A series of advanced training missions based on Red Flag ranges and rules. Features: - custom ATC with working ATIS - custom Voice Overs - populated airbases - simulated Red Flag rules - custom Misson Data Card on built-in kneeboard and PDF version - you can play all missions with human RIO Missions: Day 0 - Welcome to Nellis! Enjoy the dusk and land with AWACS Magic 1-1 Day 1 - NTTR Familiarization and daylight formation flying Follow Springfield 1-1 over NTTR airspace , train formation flying Day 1 - Night formation flying Escort tanker during night time until bingo fuel or scheduled guests are done refueling Day 2 - AAR and BFM training Try air refueling and then engage Springfield 1 over FEBA guns only! Day 2 - ACM Training Engage Aggressors F-16C over FEBA with Sidewinders Day 2 - ACM Training AGGRESSOR Engage Blue Forces F-15E over FEBA with Sidewinders Day 2 - BVR Training Engage Aggressors F-15C over FEBA with AIM-7s Day 3 - Air-Ground Range Training Train your ground pounding skills against simulated Red tanks over Range 62. FAC Bravo 1 will call hits! Day 3 - Pop-up Attack Training Try the Pop-up Attack maneuver on a pre-planned target. Use terrain masking to approch the target and avoid the defending SA-6 and AAA. FAC Bravo 1 will call hit. Once pickle go defensive and avoid SAM launch. Custom ATC is divided in steps where you simply pass through them by pressing SPACEBAR everytime you got message to do it. after startup -> Grab ATIS and contact Ground Control hold short runway 3R -> contact Tower after takeoff -> contact Departure when you arrive at the last waypoint -> Grab ATIS and select the right information in the F10 menu to contact Approach around 5nm to Nellis AFB -> contact Tower After landing -> contact Ground for parking Emergency ->this will show up after departure clearance, you can select it anytime with F10 menu , if you are in trouble Nellis ATC will let you land immediately, firetrucks will wait you at the end of the runway. How Custom ATC works: Emergency landing: NOTES: - there COULD be some bugs on ATC voice overs (mostly VOs cutting each others or missing) , please report if any. - when in multiplayer ONLY HOST can deal with ATC cause function that see SPACEBAR input works only with host player I've tried all the missions as much as I could , if there are some bugs please report.

Sonoda Umi Posted August 17, 2019 Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) :thumbup: It could be not over yet :music_whistling: I have a problem here: so far, I reached BFM vs F-5E and ACM vs F-16C mission, but I cannot fire missiles or guns(pushed the trigger but no response). What's the reason? Of course, all weapon system online. Edited August 17, 2019 by Sonoda Umi

What's the reason? Of course, all weapon system online. It's not mission related. The only thing that comes in my mind is you better remove 'space bar' as the trigger key, there could be a conflict with the function I used for interaction.

Thank you author!:thumbup: I think I get the point, and I will try to twist it later.

I found old comments on the F18 version of this campaign where someone had your same problem. Fixed by removing "spacebar" as gun trigger. :thumbup:

wolfast Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Something has happened in this campaign that I’ve never experienced. I lost a stage and when I went to replay the mission I was starting the previous mission and not the one I had just played. Every time after this It started me in a previous mission and not the one I had failed (if I failed. Progressed normally if I completed) I feel this may be a campaign bug in DCS that I’ve never encountered. Idk. Any help? Thanks. 30+ years virtual pilot. F-14B Driver.

draconus Posted September 2, 2019 Posted September 2, 2019 Afaik depending on your result (value) and designer mission settings you can regress, stay at current or progress. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
beppe_goodoldrebel Posted September 2, 2019 Author Posted September 2, 2019 That's strange. In which mission are you stuck? All campaign is set that you pass to another mission after a successful landing.
draconus Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Any updates, beppe? I returned to the campaign after awhile because of my multiple failures at completing BVR mission. Had to make some simple bug fixing myself. Do you want a copy or just change log? Anyway, BVR and A2G completed now, only one left to go. Looking forward for more :thumbup: Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria

Looking forward for more :thumbup: Which bugs are you talking about? I dont think I'll add more mission to this campaign at this point. I had a project for making a Dissimilar Air Combat Training campaign based on the BFM/ACM/BVR missions with improved rules , AI , environment , etc. and a multiplayer version like aggressor F5 vs F14. I've also started a 90's style HTML website as docs for the missions. I'm stuck now and thinking would be awesome to have it for the A version rather than the B. I'm a bit hyped for the F16 now and involved in the training missions for the MB339 , I'll continue the DACT campaing once I feel it's time. :)
draconus Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 BVR mission bugs: F-14B wingman has no weapons, Tanker has wrong radio freq. set. A2G mission erratum: flight plan (briefing image) shows TOT 17:43 both for IP and ST wypt. I think this campaign is very useful, fun to fly and of great quality. Either add more missions and sell it, or propose to make it bundled just like it is now for the users which own both F-14B module and NTTR map. Just a thought. Many users dig training missions.

I can fix quickly for BVR and re-do briefing image. Since it's already free , I'm OK if Heatblur consider to make it "official" like the Cage the Bear campaign.
draconus Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Finished! Used the updated version now (1.0 from 08-16-2019). Last mission went all fine until landing. I was advised to call emergency (probably because of my fuel state around 2k), landed, followed the humvee up to the parking and no message then. I wasn't in the mood of reflying the mission so I refueled a bit, taxi back trough the trigger points and took off, around 5nm I turned back and followed all the radio contacts and landing procedure up to the parking spot again - that gave me the awaited "mission complete" message :) I don't know if it was my fault. Briefing and maps both mention waypoints 4 and 5. Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria

Briefing and maps both mention waypoints 4 and 5. Will check emergency triggers of that mission. Emergency procedure is something called by the player with the F10 menu , if the message has started without your interaction maybe I screwed up the relative flag with something else.
draconus Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) I did call F10 > emergency only after being adviced to do so by the pop-up message. Is this message given depending on low fuel state?

Is this message given depending on low fuel state? Really? That's not mission related , maybe something within the module? :lol: I never run out of fuel with the Tomcat , I'll try it later.
Father Cool Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Hi I really want to play this campaign but it doesn't show up in the mission files in game. What could be wrong? Regards FC
beppe_goodoldrebel Posted October 4, 2019 Author Posted October 4, 2019 Hi I really want to play this campaign but it doesn't show up in the mission files in game. What could be wrong? Regards FC Files must be unzipped and placed together in folder "../DCS/Mods/aircraft/F14/Missions/Campaigns"
Father Cool Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 Yes thats what I did. It just shows empty in game but there in file explorer.
beppe_goodoldrebel Posted October 4, 2019 Author Posted October 4, 2019 Yes thats what I did. It just shows empty in game but there in file explorer. did you export also the .cmp file?
draconus Posted October 4, 2019 Posted October 4, 2019 (edited) Isn't it /campaigns/en/ folder? Do you open Campaign menu > F-14 in DCS? Edited October 4, 2019 by draconus Win10 i7-10700KF 32GB RTX4070S Quest 3 T16000M VPC CDT-VMAX TFRP FC3 F-14A/B F-15E CA SC NTTR PG Syria
