Just finished mission 3, and noticed a couple things.. First, on start up, we do radio checks and i can hear wingman, other flights and myself, but nowhere through the departure, does departure actually respond OR if im meant to change freqs it doesnt tell me too, in which case, that would be handy. second, im using PP to drop the JDAMs and i actually played the mission twice, as i ran into an issue i'll cover next, but both times when using co-ords, i follow the bomb with F6 and the trucks are on target, but the other bomb goes to fuel tanks which are already destroyed, and this happened both times, and both times on BDA he says target partially destroyed. Could the co-ordinates in the kneeboard be wrong? Also, as mentioned above, on my first play through when i got to the convoy, now this part im not entirely sure, but he says its south of the target but it seems north? regardless i couldnt find first time through, so i ordered wingman to attack convoy, he said target destroyed, but there was no option for "attack complete", so i headed off, ended up calling winchester as fuel was past joker. Second run i realized we both need to get the convoy and after several units the option for "attack complete comes up, but i guess it wasnt very clear. even after getting 2 trucks myself and wingman got 2, got the message "attack complete, but still scored partially destroyed. cuz it was a bit confusing i ended up abandoning the first run. Lastly, when grabbing a drink on the way back, i got in observation, ordered wingman to tank and he didnt, tried several times, he just went into observation, so i got my fuel and left, i figure hes set to have unlimited anyway, but just thought i'd report it. Also thought it was a bit weird to be tanking inside the corridor especially when clearance is given he says "assigned alttitude" (which is 28) but tankers at 25, but again not entirely sure, this may be SOP? Anyway, hope this helps, may also be user error on my part, there never seems to be enough time to stay "current" these days

Hi, I think that it will be nice to have the AI wingmen to report their own status from the fighter command menu. the main status likes: fuel weapon countermeasures anything else?? So, the leader can decide what AI wingmen should do in the next step. Any suggestion? Thanks.

Hi, I am not sure that the today AI Wingman is able to perform the following steps as one task: 1. go back home base/cv (it is available) 2. re-arm and re-fuel 3. taxi-off and rejoin formation Thanks.

AI wingmen are back to trying to race the player to the runway when cold starting. As soon as you request taxi clearance, the AI will announce "Rolling" and begin taxiing, even if it means cutting you off or colliding with you. They'll also be similarly aggressive when lining up on the runway. They'll announce "Rolling" while you're still lining up, and then blast past you in order to get into the air... at which point they'll immediately announce "RTB" because you're not airborne yet. I assume this is a game-wide issue, but I've specifically seen it with my Hornet wingman at both Nellis and Incirilik with the last couple of betas. I remember this being an issue in the past, but then it got addressed. Maybe something broke?

Used the Hind and Mosquito today but the communications (\) isn't working at all in either of the modules. I rebinded it to other buttons on the keyboard but no go. Mapped to hottas and still didn't work. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Please let me know what to do to resolve this issue. Thanks in advance

Hello, I was thinking about DCS and this idea popped up all of a sudden. I feel like that an AI wingman radio commands would be nice if they had AI voices. I have not played Speed and Angels yet, but as there are no female default Wingman voices, if you ask the AWACS for a Bogey Dope, I think that you will ask the E-2 in a male voice, even though you are controlling Meagan "Slick" Varley (An IRL Female pilot. I was also wondering if she ever flew the Super Hornet. I mean, she enlisted in 2004, so if she stayed for 2 years or so she would have for sure been a Super Hornet pilot, but that's a discussion for another time). Also, if you ask questions to the AI Wingman that aren't in the preset menu, it will give an actual response (E.G. "How was your day?" is responded with "Good!" or something). So given the rise of AI, why not? Sincerely, SilentSparrow

Greetings! I have young kids and therefore unusual flight windows on Weekends at 0500, California time. I'm open to pretty much anything; flying with a squadron, casual flying, carrier ops, training, SEAD, whatever. I am usually on the F-18C, but fly the P-47 to prep for the Corsair and F-14 to prep for the Phantom. Former Marine, so I'm partial to Marine units and aircraft. I have all of the official maps.

Hello, I have been practicing dogfighting with a wingman. I have troubles sometimes where I cannot identify friend or foe. On my FCR we are too close and everyone is piled on top of one another so TMS left does not help, plus you have to look down. I was hoping there would be a way to tell your wingman to pop a flare for quick identification. The only other way I have been able to do it is to get close and zoom in. Doing this though causes me to focus on them and not my surroundings. in the mission I was up against 2 F-5’s. yes they are smaller but their silhouette is similar to the viper, at lease for me when from a distance. Is there another way that I just have not found yet? Also what about dogfighting at night? that’s got to be impossible.

Often the mission primary target is a building and there is no explicit "attack building" command for the wingman. What is the expected method to tell the wingman to attack the primary when it is a building and he's got the big boomy thing for it? (PS really enjoying this campaign! Great job!)

Moin, da ich gefühlt schon seit Ewigkeiten nach einer Staffel/Wingman suche die mir zusagt, dachte ich mir das ich es mal so probiere: Bin der Pascal aka Sesam und 26 Jahre alt, habe mit DCS schon etwas und suche eine Staffel oder einen Wingman mit dem ich mal ein bisschen im MP spielen kann. Ich möchte ungerne in der Luft alles auf Englisch besprechen, da meine Kenntnisse was das angeht doch recht begrenzt sind. Zudem habe ich keine Lust auf extrem Strenge Prozeduren und Vorgehensweisen. Ein bisschen Spaß und Humor sollte ebenfalls dabei sein, für mich ist DCS „nur“ ein Spiel und keine militärische Ausbildung. Ansich habe ich (fast) jeden Tag ab 17 Uhr Zeit. SRS ist bei mir ebenfalls vorhanden und ich habe auch ordentliches Equipment um vernünftig zu fliegen. Ebenfalls kann ich (bereits getestet) Server erstellen, vermutlich aber keine Riesen Missionen mit zu vielen Leuten. Ich habe es nur einmal mit einem Freund getestet und das hatte ganz gut funktioniert. Aktuell fliege ich häufiger mal Retribution/Liberation und bastle ein wenig an meinen eigenen Missionen. Für den Editor bin ich auch gerade dabei mich mit lua bzw MOOSE auseinander zu setzen.(auch wenn ich aktuell noch nicht mehr kann als Einheiten zu spawnen..) Ansonsten bin ich ab und an auf Enigmas oder Buddyspike unterwegs. Zu meiner Ingame Erfahrung: Dies ist ein kleiner Knackpunkt, ich habe folgende Module in Besitz: F14,F16,F18,A10C II, MiG 21, FC3, KA50, Syrien, PG, Supercarrier, NTTR und Sinai. (Evtl. Bald noch f15 oder ah64.. ) Allerdings habe ich keines der Module komplett gemeistert. Denke die A10 wäre das einzige Modul wo ich sagen würde, dass ich sie halbwegs gut kann. Bei den anderen Modulen kann ich eher nur die Grundlagen. (Fliegen, Waffensysteme, Navigieren) Wichtig ist noch zu erwähnen das ich absolute keine Erfahrungen in Staffelmanövern/Formationen etc. habe. Aber das sind ja Dinge die man auch gut lernen kann. Im Endeffekt ist es mir auch egal welches Flugzeug geflogen wird, ich fliege alle sehr gerne. Gerne kann sich auch auf nur 1 oder 2 Module spezialisiert werden, damit ich die auch besser lerne So das wars erstmal von mir, falls jemand Interesse hat, einfach hier schreiben oder ne PN. MfG Sesam
