WildBillKelsoe Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 As above. I want to add JTAC to weapons training mission, let him request gun run on tank targets alone, and CBU's for IFVs, dumb bombs for Zil-131, and mavericks for AAA ZU-23. Also, does dynamic weather change ground wind speed at different parts of map, and if so, how to get that information into LASTE? Do I get low and readout or TAC feedback? Thanks AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors. Double dash is friendly, Single dash is enemy. Circle is friendly. Strobe is jammer. Strobe to dash is under 35 km. HDD is 7 times range key. Radar to 160 km, IRST to 10 km. Stay low, but never slow.
Aginor Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 If those vehicles are in different groups I think it will work. You have to set the JTAC tasks for each group seperately, and in each task tell the JTAC which weapon he should ask you for. I haven't tested if it is allowed to have several JTAC tasks at the same time, you might have to set conditions, so the JTAC will start his "kill APCs" task after you have completed the "kill Shilka" task. btw: Sorry for slight derailment WildBill, but does anyone know whether a JTAC can guide you to attack stationary objects? I think I tested it a while back, and since stationary objects are not in groups I can't assign them to the JTAC task. IIRC group "auto" doesn't work. DCSW weapons cheat sheet speed cheat sheet
Mike5560 Posted November 13, 2014 Posted November 13, 2014 Never had any luck being able to "FAC assign group" to a stationary object, or for anything other than ground vehicles (i.e. Boats) You should be able to determine the order in which the JTAC assigns targets (based on priority) and what weapons to request per group. If one group is triggered to activate after a recently destroyed group assigned by the JTAC, you may have to re-do the fighter-FAC check in.
WildBillKelsoe Posted November 14, 2014 Author Posted November 14, 2014 I just tried assigning vehicle groups and therefore specific weapons and got the usual 'no further tasking' message on first contact. Any ideas? AWAITING ED NEW DAMAGE MODEL IMPLEMENTATION FOR WW2 BIRDS Fat T is above, thin T is below. Long T is faster, Short T is slower. Open triangle is AWACS, closed triangle is your own sensors.

Mike5560 Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 When you added advanced options for the JTAC did you select "FAC assign group" or "FAC engage group"? I know you just said "assign", but it would make sense if you selected "engage" as this requires the JTAC to physically see the target to nominate it, whereas FAC assign group does not.
m9matt Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I've a made a quick JTAC mission for you to try. You can see how I've tasked JTAC in the Advanced waypoint. See how I've made sure the advanced waypoints have their radios set to 30 FM. It worked for me so it should be good for you.JTAC Mission.miz
