kanami314 Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) been thinking for a while the last few days about building and running cv mission online (with the su33 and heli's) and after talking with some of my wing mates, I have decided to start making some missions to run with them. however I am still new to developing missions and also unable to host on my own (one of my wingmans can, but he on the other side of the world) so I wanted to see how many people are intrested in this. and if anyone wants to help. my goal is realistic (launch and recovery cycles, using the deck space for parking when posable, and group style engagements) cap/fleet defence, coin, csar, and joint strike missions using the su33, ka50, mi8tv and huey. (and any other cv aircraft that come out) anyway, I likly am thinking too big for now. but I thought I would open this topic up anyway. *first mission up* http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1250530/ its a defensive cap mission. hope you guys enjoy it Edited February 1, 2015 by kanami314
Belgeode Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 (edited) I would love something like this. I am already doing a lot... let me emphasize that... A LOT, no hold on... not enough emphasis... A LOT of single player Carrier Ops with both the Su-33 as a three ship, and the Mi-8MTV2 as a singleton. It does get a little disheartening going online and seeing very few doing any of the carrier ops slots. At times I feel like I am the only one interested in it, at least till the Hornet comes out... Then I am sure everyone and their brother will crawl out of the woodwork. It would be even better if we got a Tomcat too, but... wishful thinking. I do not have the computer to host if that is what you need, BUT, i can help you with coming up with missions (I have been making my own for youtube... search for Belgeode). I was even trying to find a way to convert the Su-25T into the carrier variant (so far no success). I say continue to think big! You are NOT ALONE in your love for carrier ops! Hopefully this thread may bring more of us together to make our presence known. Edited January 29, 2015 by Belgeode added youtube link [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] YouTube ~ Twitch
kanami314 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 thanks for the support belgeode. got one of my wingmen fixed to be able to host, so testing is going to be less painful. did good starting mission for helping build basic cv skills with him and the third member of our wing. anyway, for my first mission that is serious, will involve a fighter sweep with two wings, and a posable supprise at the end. if you want to keep up with whats going on. you can bug me on my steam account http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198043713818/ also for my pratice missions, its annoying to try to do a2a refueling as the only way I could get the tanker to stay in station for long periods of time was though setting it to orbit. but then its always turning and is more of a pain to refuel from. I am not sure if there is a way to loop a flight plan so I dont have to set up a million waypoints to keep the tanker on station for a few hours. anyway. going to take a nap before I go too crazy.

Belgeode Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 I will admit I am not good at all when it comes to refueling, but I usually set it to racetrack orbit as well. Kanami I will find you on steam. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] YouTube ~ Twitch
kanami314 Posted January 30, 2015 Author Posted January 30, 2015 alright, I have build my first cv mission. its built around a fleet def cap operation, should be able to get it up later tonight to test it. so pm me asap if you want to join in the testing. the mission is intented for a full cv (16 pilots) but should be double with less. there are some expectations for this mission, hopefully we will have ts3 avable and all testers are expected at least be on it if we have it, also people are expected to read the breifing and follow directions. hopefully this will be a good mission and well worth the experance, also if anyone wants the draft of the mission, pm me and I will send it to you.
kanami314 Posted January 31, 2015 Author Posted January 31, 2015 After testing the first mission with one other player. I feel its ready for release. its simple enough of a mission, but it also puts a realsitic and stressful setup. currently put it into the userfiles and will update the main post when it is approved. if you want to get a verson before it is approved, pm me and I will send you a link to it. I am also working on a mission to use ka50 and or mi8's to spot and mark targets for the su33's to bomb with a light fighter sweep element.
kanami314 Posted February 1, 2015 Author Posted February 1, 2015 First mission is up. hope you guys enjoy it. http://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1250530/
Belgeode Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Cool beans. Will download and check it out. Sorry I been busy this weekend. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] YouTube ~ Twitch
kanami314 Posted February 5, 2015 Author Posted February 5, 2015 alright. I have started working on my second mission, however I have found that with out getting into scripting, I wont have the ability to make the mission run well or be worth replaying more then a few times. but I have not spent much if any time scripting sense high school (a few years ago) so quite lost. primarly I want to have hostile fighters spawn in, in waves (1-3 groups of 4 ship flights) but have it so that there are only one wave of hostiles at a time. I also want to have netrual/civil fights which are iff non responsive flying through the airspace (but not too many as to lag out the sever) lastly I want to have the ability to get reports when anyone shoots down a civil target as well as a normal squad based score count (using the 16 fighters split into 4 squads) it would be also nice to have a automatic rotation of awacs and tanker support (as the mission takes place almost 800km away from batumi.) I know there is a cap gci script thingy, but it seems very much about automatically setting up defensive caps rather then being able to focus on defending/patroling the major shipping lanes. anyway, if anyone wants to see the demo of it that I set up. just pm me.
