Briefing, Lineup Card, and Map Errata

[Wags]

Please post any errors you find in the briefings, briefing maps, and lineup cards here.

 

Thanks

Mission 1:

So the game recognizes me as Ford 3, lineup card says I should be 4. A buddy has the same thing happening to him.

 

From Scav:

To expand on this a bit, the lineup card and all the briefing materials ID the player as Ford 4, and Wags' voiceovers also always refer to the player as Ford 4, but if you (for example) call Nellis ATC, you'll self-ID as Ford 3. For extra confusion, there's an AI Ford 4 flight making position reports as they go through their flight plan.

 

Also, the lineup card and briefing said vul time was 0855-0935 (40 minutes), but the map says it's +20 and Wags released me to RTB at 0917 (22 minutes).

Mission 2:

 

B: DCA Vul time: 20 minutes (1654L – 1714L)

 

You actually arrive a lot earlier than that, also at one point 40 mins are mentioned in the mission (at CAP) - however 20mins are mentioned as well.

 

CAP way point number in voice do not match the numbers on the map.

 

B: Maintain CAP until relieved by Ford 5/6

 

Didn't see them in the mission, but I might not have waited long enough.

 

Edit:

Lineup card: Player Callsign Ford4-1 - 4 ship in the mission it's Ford3-1 2ship.

 

 

Also I might be missing something obvious but wouldn't 1654L indicate Lima timezone (UTC+11) or is it meant to mean local - but wouldn't that be either J (local) or U (UTC-8 )?

Thanks for the feedback, all. I'll edit the missions and lineup cards accordingly, then Matt will publish them when the campaign is next updated.

 

Blackeye, in military parlance, L refers to local time, Z refers to UTC.

Blackeye, in military parlance, L refers to local time, Z refers to UTC.

 

Apparently there are different parlances then. We either had (Z)ulu or no letter which meant local time.

 

However AFAIK the other letters stand for the time zones around the world and the unused J for local - the sources I could find seem to agree with that see for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_military_time_zones

Edit: as does ACP 121 (I) p 3A-1

Thanks. If the L suffix is wrong, I am more than happy to change it. Will check with one more source.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned this yet, but the PUSH time on the maps do not match the PUSH time in the brief and lineup card. At least with missions 3 and 4.

[Steve Davies]

Thanks, Zeke. We've fixed this in the forthcoming update :)

Something else I noticed while practicing landings for MSN 04. There are no runway lights on 21R. May want to change the brief to show 21L unless I'm missing something.

Hey, this is awesome so far. :) I'm almost positive you guys already have most of these but here is what I ran into so far:

 

Mission 1 Briefing:

 

- Pg 3, last paragraph; "relieved by Ford 5 and Ford 6 flights". Chevy 6 came on station at the end of our vul time but I never heard radio calls from Ford 5 or 6 that would indicate they were coming back to relieve us.

- The briefing mentioned no AWACS/GCI would be available. If so, who were the radio calls from, Ford 4?

- Pg 5; "Sun: West" should be "Sun: East"

 

Mission 2 Briefing:

 

- Pg 3, para 3; "behind the first four-ship" should be "behind the first two-ship" or just "behind the two aircraft in front of you". I caught on but only after they were airborne. :)

- Pg 4, para 8, 9, and 10; "Texas Lake" should be "Coal Valley".

- Pg 6, para below Mission Objectives; "(41 will be the player)" should be "(31 will be the player)" or whatever the intent is.

- Same paragraph; "relieved by Ford 5 and 6 flights". I was listening for these but only Chevy 6 came on station at the end of our vul time.

- Pg 6, second para from bottom; "Colt flights" should be "Uzi flights".

 

 

Mission 2 in-flight:

 

- The radio call at end of the tour referenced the CAP between stp 12 and 13. It should be between 13 and 14.

- I know there has already been feedback on the lineup card timing but as a reference, I went on station for the CAP at 16:31 local.

 

Awesome campaign so far!

Thanks for this helpful feedback, Bunyap. Will take a look and check again the latest version.

I don't really know if it is a bug or intentional:

Mission 5: WP 5 is at Bulls, and WP 7-8 is leading me through container resulting in a mission failure.

[Wags]

If you are entering the container when flying from SP 7 to 8, you must be off the correct course line.

 

The bulls at SP5 is a reference, not a navigation point.

[Skynet99]

Is Bulls always wp5 in all missions?

I read the briefing and I don't remember this being articulated in there.

[gnouze]

On mission 2 map, waypoint 15 should be located on the same place that waypoint 6, from what i've flown today.

Btw , great work, Steve !! As always !

PS : Next mission is #3, for tomorrow. Can't wait. I enjoy the traffic going on in the Nttr, this all adds to the immersion that you brought with your material (doc and maps). And i have a nellis range wallchart in front of my desk, to complete the whole thing. That's neat.

Yes, this is mentioned in the PDF briefing.

If I am reading things correctly I believe the DLC Maps aren't being updated with DCS Updates and Mission 3 Southern Red CAP references appear to be wrong (~E-W instead of ~SE-SW)

On mission 5 :

Texas Lake is mentionned about Chevy 1 Cap, which is wrong. (Same in mission 3 and 4 as cited by others above). Should be Coal Valley. And still some mismatch of a few minutes on Push Time in the différent docs (brief, card and map)
