A-10C Red Flag campaign no ramp starts????

Dafiew · February 5, 2016

Don't know where to post this since there is no A-10C redflag treads yet but I downloaded it and to my amazement why is the aircraft started at the start of the missions?? first one I can understand you are starting in the air but on the second one the familiarisation flight the aircraft is running! Of course I got everything off on the hotas and the things shutsdown so I am now out of timing with the rest of the flight... got to quit... Why no ramp start? I'm paying 10$ for this and I don't get to start the aircraft? Don't tell me I have to go in the editor and change the starting state? It's supposed to be the most realistic red flag experience out there? Well unless the crew chief starts up the aircraft for you which I really doubt it would happen this is no where near realistic to me :mad:

Relax man, there may be time constraints and the mission designer needed you to be moving at mission start.

Thanks for the reply Wags, is there a way to know if it's ramp or not cause I have to "sync" my hotas to have the proper configuration coming in and any reason why no ramp start for all the missions like it would be in real life?

Maybe read the mission brief from your docs folder?

I absolutely hate air/hot starts.... Kills immersion.

You could have asked that question before you paid for it, then you could have decided whether it was worth it.

Hot start or not I'm loving it.

The first mission simulated your arrival at Nellis - so where is the problem?

2nd mission you are in a hot cockpit on the ground.

That's as far as I have got yet.

Exactly.

Same here, after all the posts and complaints from the original campaign not being ramp start it didn't even cross my mind that we would have hot start missions in this paid campaign, kinda disappointing to me

Maybe read the mission brief from your docs folder?

Can you point out where in the briefing it mentions that the aircraft is already started in mission 2? I didn't see it when i read it prior to the mission

It's not that it is not worth it man it's only 10$. It's just that it's advertised as the most realistic Red Flag experience possible, you expect just that.

If you like hot starts good for you, for me it really kills it, the first mission like said in my first post is ok since it simulates you coming in from Tucson, AZ to land at NAFB but on the second one, if I'm going to fly a mission riding waypoints looking at the scenery, which is ok cause it's probably what they do in real life, can I at least start my plane and do my checks and stuff?

As I told you before, most of the missions are ramp start, just a few are not due to mission timing reasons.

Seems like a perfect mission not to have to worry about starting up and setting up your aircraft...
