baltic_dragon Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Seeing all the positive reviews, I decided to have this campaign be the first campaign I have played with the A-10C. I have enjoyed the banter between me and my wingman in the first mission. My questions/observations: 1. To trigger the end of mission one, are we suppose to shutdown on the apron next to the large planes (in front of the crowd) or park in any of the small square parking areas? When I landed, I shut down on the apron and never received a "end of mission" indicator. 2. Is the A-10C AI insane when it comes to landing? I watched the other squads of A-10Cs attempt to land and several times both planes would try to land at the same time and would trigger both of them aborting. Took forever to land all but two. The other two would have crashed if it wasn't for the fact that they dove straight into the ground and broke through world geometry (they were bugged from then on). I ended up the mission myself and it was counted as a success so I can move on. I can't wait to continue. Hey, IIRC in the first mission it is enough that you just land (pass a specific point along the runway), I will have to check what is with the message in the end. As for the AI - it is far from perfect and it is a number one cause of any mission designer headache - sometimes even in a mission tested many times something may go wrong. And that is true for all the later missions in the campaign - the AI experience may vary, although it should not be. play-breaking (its just sometimes AI will be less helpful than expected). I will check some remarks later today and if need be upload a updated version of the campaign. ***EDIT*** Version 1.1 is now up - the main change is that you will no longer be pushed back one step in the campaign on mission failure, you will just replay it. Also, message for completing mission added in M1. Enjoy! Edited June 21, 2014 by baltic_dragon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Guys, I posted already in the Missions Builder section (http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=2097233#post2097233), but I will repeat here - I am trying to have the second part of the campaign voiced - over by real people and I need volunteers. Any help much appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 Version 1.2 is up, fixed the bug in M1 posted by intx. It will be available for download once it is checked by the admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKUMURICA Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 Im stuck on the second mission. I would hit all the waypoints but pop up above 500 AGL in the hills and mountains. is that a mission fail for going above 500AGL? I would land and get the mission complete with 0 points and have to start all over with the 1st mission just to get back to the second mission. I have ver 1.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have ver 1.2 Weird, the altitude limit is just a suggestion, it is not linked to mission results. I will have to check that again, the only thing that comes to my mind is as follows: Did you follow the flight plan and was your flight shot at along the way?

JKUMURICA Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 (edited) My flight is set at close formation (does not look close. 5 c-130's can fly through my formation) and I hit all the way points until the SAM attack. The Radio said abort mission and RTB. I just played it again and I landed with all of my flight until they all parked. I got a mission complete. The score is 0 again. Then I am back to playing the very first mission again :doh:. How do you get points for a non shooting mission? do I have to kill the SAM Team?

baltic_dragon Posted July 30, 2014 Author Share Posted July 30, 2014 I've checked it and found the bug, which was really stupid - a wrong flag number (1 instead of 11, happens). I've uploaded the new version of the campaign - sorry for the trouble & thanks for pointing this out! As an update, the works on 2nd part have slown down a little due to family reasons (my little daughter born exactly one month ago - couldn't help sharing these news ;), but I will be slowly pushing the campaign forward.

baltic_dragon Posted September 1, 2014 Author Share Posted September 1, 2014 Thanks guys, I am planning to release some of the missions as MP once I finish second, longer part of the campaign (14 missions in total) which is currently in production and I am happy to say is progressing. One big change in comparison with the part 1 is that it is going to have real people recording the voices (which works pretty well so far!) but will take considerably more time to finish. BTW, if anyone is interested in beta testing single missions, feel free to PM me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xentxo Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 A inconsistency occurred to me ;) in the v0.4 (maybe this is also true in the current version) On 23th march the US president told us "8 planes are scheduled to land in Kobuleti Airbase on March 29th" But the planes actually arrived long ago. At the 27th March. ;) Either the US president cant memorize specific dates or he has been misinformed ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DayGlow Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 enjoying the campaign, but the 3rd mission doesn't seem to complete. The CSAR comes in and lands, but no one ever moves to the helos and moves out. I decided to make some more passes to see if there were any more enemies, as there were no shots coming from the hill, but even after expending all my ordinance the CSAR never took off. I ended up quitting the mission and must have got enough points to move on.

I continued through the WP and once landed, i received a "MISSION SUCCESS" message Hmm, probably a mistake on my part, I got so busy actually making the CSAR helos to land (took a few hours before they stopped to just turn their tails and flee) that I was actually happy with them just being there, leaving destroying enemy troops as a main objective. I will keep that in mind for the time when I will be returning to first part of the campaign afer finishing the second one (working on it right now, with real voice-overs). I plan to merge the two and add real voice - overs to the first part as well. So far I am happy that you were anle to move on with the mission.

baltic_dragon Posted October 4, 2014 Author Share Posted October 4, 2014 Enemy Within Update I thought I'd post some information about the progress of the second part. Out of 15 missions, 7 are ready, 3 are in development. Out of the 7 three are fully voiced-over, 4 are waiting for the recordings to arrive. This time around there will be real people voices in the missions - thanks to all very helpful virtual Hog Drivers (and not only them) out there! Campaign will be branching, will be more advanced than the first part and should be definetely more bug-free. Speaking of which, if anyone would like to try the missions which are already finished, let me know - the more feedback I get now, the better the final product will be! Plans after the release include re-doing the first part, getting VOs for that and merging it with the second part into one campaign. And finally - transforming some of the missions into MP versions. Keep your fingers crossed! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom_Mark Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 If you need a British voice for something I am happy to help, never done anything like it before but happy to step up to the task if you have a script ;) Just about to install Part1 and try it out, only recently became reasonably operational with the important A10C systems so I can do some missions like this and hit something with various weapon types :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted January 7, 2015 Author Share Posted January 7, 2015 Thanks a lot guys! Works on the final version are progressing slowly, waiting for the last voiceovers to arrive and then there is a lot of playtesting and fine-tuning of all missions... reasonable time frame would be around 3 weeks to a month. If you liked the fist part I am sure you will really enjoy the full campaign :D Phantom_Mark - thanks for the offer, right now I could only use a few simple lines, but I will PM them to you shortly!
