CAS Infinity Randomized - Joint Ops v1.5

[Wizard1393]

##########################

CAS / CAP INFINITY GEORGIA WEST

##########################

 

 

Battlegroups of Russian ground forces are scattered within the AO. A-10C, SU-25A/T, and KA-50 aircraft are tasked to deal with this threat. All fixed wing attack aircraft are taking off from Batumi AFB while helicopters take off from Kobuleti AFB.

 

F-15C, Mirage 2000C and MiG-21Bis aircraft are to provide CAP, engaging any hostile fighters approaching the area.

All fighters take off from Vaziani AFB.

 

Intelligence are surveying and analyzing the AO from satellite and drone recon images and will be relaying their findings to all flights operating in the area.

 

All flights have the possibility to call in smoke markers and illumination boms over any given target.

 

Kobuleti AFB and Kutaisi AFB can be used for refuelling and rearming.

 

Tankers Texaco (KC-135) and Arco (IL-78M) can also be used for refuelling. They will be running a racetrack pattern on course 053/233, about 25nm SE of the AO at angels 16. Texaco can be located on TACAN 44X and they can both be contacted on UHF 251Mhz AM.

 

AWACS Darkstar will relay any threat information on 124Mhz AM.

 

 

###PREREQUISITE KNOWLEDGE###

 

You need to know how to make use of coordinates in your aircraft of choice. Coords will be given in both LAT/LON and MGRS/UTM formats.

 

If you fly an SU-25 you will have to rely on bearing / range from bullseye calls to find your targets. When you think you are close, you can request illumination bomb and smoke on the target and scan your surroundings with MK1 Eyeball to find the target spot. You can also use "mouse over" on the F10 Map View and look at the cursor coords to try to find the general area of the target.

 

 

###MISC/ABOUT###

 

You can continue to request new random taskings forever. There is no mission end.

Every CAS target group is created with a randomized number (between 3-6) of vehicles of randomized type and skill.

Vehicle categories that are randomized are Mobile AAA's, IR-SAM's, APC/IFV's and MBT's.

 

When the number of vehicles are set for the current group, there will also spawn #vehicles*3 soldiers to the group.

 

If a unit is spawned in, in a place that makes it impossible to see or to hit, due to possible bugged clipping etc. you can always choose to skip the current objective via F-10 radio menu option, to get a new objective.

 

Every time a new CAP tasking is requested, 1-2 air threats spawn in and will fly CAP in the AO. They will try to intercept any air targets they discover. Protect your tankers and AWACS! Currently, air threats is randomized between MiG-27K's and MiG-29A's.

Mission updated

[Scooternutz]

Thank you very much!!!!!!

[Scooternutz]

Would your scripts work in 2.0?

[Wizard1393]

You're welcome! About 2.0, I haven't tested. But I assume they would. But, the mission obviously needs to be remade for Nevada if that's what you're thinking, porting the mission over.

[Scooternutz]

I will give it a go tomorrow. I will let you know.

[Wizard1393]

Hi,

 

Are you absolutely sure you got all infantry? They can be REALLY hard to spot.

If you are 100%, please provide a track and I'll look at it.

 

If you don't find all infantry, you can choose "Skip tasking". This however won't get you THAT satisfaction :thumbup:

Hi, Chris thanks for the CAS IR update, running smooth on 1.5. One request, if possible: a version without the Blue support (F5, AH64)?

 

I usually add the CAS IR on top of my other missions and the support is taking out my other targets. No idea how to edit the Mist file, otherwise I would do it myself.

 

UPDATE: Sorry, found the groups on ME (duh!!). Thanks for providing this!!!

Ok great! Yeah all flights are hidden in the ME. :thumbup:

[Dagger71]

I have tried this and the NTTR version and they seem to work bug free. Only issue is debrief and in game scorecard only display the unit ID number and not the name of the unit.

 

Also in debrief it will always show 0 units destroyed by myself.

Yes this is due to bugs/scripting engine issues with dynamically spawned groups in the current versions of 1.5 and 2.0.

[Steggles]

To post in the correct spot, thanks for you work on this mission. Its a nice mission and one that I will use regularly for our guys that want training in the A10.

Cheers

[Wizard1393]

Thank you! (I posted a longer "thank you" in the other thread :) :thumbup:

[trindade]

Will this work as a MP Coop?

[Wizard1393]

Yes it will!

[trindade]

Thanks for your reply and for the mission Chris, I'll give it a try online tonight.:thumbup:

[Wizard1393]

No problem! And if you have any constructive criticism after, bring it!

[trindade]

Sure, thanks for your efforts.

[jcbak]

Thanks for the mission. It's great having the SU25s.

[trindade]

No problem! And if you have any constructive criticism after, bring it!

 

Good fun last friday flying with two buddies. We had no problems, the mission is quite fun and it's serves quite well his purposes. My only suggestion would be the addition of a sort of "hidden threat", let's say a MANPAD, SA-8 or a SA-15, for example. This "hidden threat" could be placed near the target but without the exact position like is given for the normal targets.

Thanks for your work!:thumbup:
