P-51 not playing nice with strike mission and FAC.

[Zilch]

Hi, everyone. I'm working on a few missions for the P-51, but am having a few problems getting everything to work correctly. It's my first attempt at making a mission that is more than just "go here and blow up this thing."

 

I'm trying to have the player's element of two P-51's strike an enemy warehouse as a main target. So far the trigger zones for the group messages from the FAC as the player enters the combat area are working.

 

At first, I could not get the menu system to allow my FAC to mark the warehouse with WP. I am trying to get around this limitation by putting secondary targets, trucks, nearby and having the FAC mark them instead.

 

Unfortunately, the WP marker never goes up. I read somewhere that full FAC functions are only available to the A-10C. Is this correct, or can I also rig it for my P-51?

 

Also, I added a triggered "Mission complete" message for when the warehouse dies. Somehow, the message is triggered immediately upon mission start while the player is still on the runway. Did I do something wrong here?

 

It seems like DCS doesn't like static targets, but I'd really like to make use of them since they're ideal for the P-51's bombs. I also haven't found a way to order the wingman to engage static targets.

 

Thanks for any input!

 

EDIT: Attached the .miz. Should have done that from the start.

With some tweaking, I seem to have fixed everything except that the FAC will not mark the target. Is this going to be possible or should I re-word the radio communications?

I'll try to take a peak tomorrow

Here's another mission with a similar problem. I have an OH-58 AFAC. Radio comms work with the unit, but despite me tasking it with assigning the enemy armor group, I get a message saying "All enemies destroyed, good work" before firing a single shot.

 

I assume there's something I'm doing wrong on the FAC Advanced Waypoint area.
