FAC in KA-50 missions?

[Xxx]

Is it possible to have FAC functionality in Black Shark missions?

 

I have two FAC's set up with frequencies, as 30 FM (channel 1 on the R828 radio) and 32 FM ( channel 2 on the R828 radio).

 

I hear the FAC report the target destroyed, using a condition trigger, but there are no radio commands to contact the FAC as in A10 missions, to check in etc.

 

I think I am missing some steps to get the FAC radio items to show up?

 

Cheers,

 

David

There is no FAC for the KA-50 in BS2.0 Vanilla.

 

Turbohog has created a mod some years ago to implement FAC for KA-50.

Thanks, I will have a rummage around for the mod. But I know the older missions are not 100% compatible with these new versions.

 

I suppose I could use Triggar zones and radio transmissions to clear us into attack. So once we move into a "zone" the JTAC responds? Then mark the targets with smoke? Kind of like a pseudo JTAC.

 

Cheers!:thumbup:

 

Edit

I tried the mod from Turbohog. It seems that it does not work in 1.5.3 or 2.1. There are lua edits listed in the thread, I tried these and ended up breaking my install. Fortunately I was able to roll back to an earlier intact install.

 

Does any one have a working version?

OK, here is a shock!

 

I have got a fully functional JTAC and AWACS in Ka-50 Black Shark in DCS 1.5.3

 

All I did was remove one letter from TurboHog's (Frett) original package!

 

In TurboHog's KA-50 JTAC&AWACS 1.5 folder there are three sub folders, Bazar, Mods and Sounds. In the Mods folder there is a folder named "aircrafts". This I amended to "aircraft" and re installed the mod using JSGME. Result....JTAC and AWACS works in Black Shark in my 1.5.3 release version.

 

I have tried it with two JTACS. A Predator and an infantry man. Both working on separate frequencies! With an AWACS overhead. A couple of replies are missing from our Russian accented pilot, but for the most part he replies completely. Right down to repeating the 9 line!

 

Thanks again TurboHog, this has really enhanced my Black Shark mission making!:pilotfly:

Here is a short movie with the Mod in action.

Folks,

 

I've been given TurboHog's blessing to continue the mod, and I will be updating it for 1.5.3 in a couple of weeks. Real life has been busy this year, but things expect to let up in two weeks, at which time my first priority is getting my integrated Warthog profile out the door. The JTAC mod will be the following priority, and should happen before May.

Hello Home Fries.

 

In DCS 1.5.3 TurboHog's JTAC and AWACS works fine. Coordinate entry is fine.

 

However, when we move to NTTR and DCS 2.1, the story is not so good. The JTAC works fine but we can not enter western coordinates.

 

Its the coordinate input for negative (-) that can not be inputted.

 

eg. target input at N37.50.033...This is entered ok.

 

However west is a problem. W117.52.489 can not be entered. After inputting the 1, for negative (-), the keypad will not allow another "1" key press for the first coordinate. So we end up with W011.52.489:mad:

 

So if you can find a work around for this we will be in business for DCS World 2.1.

 

To reiterate, the issue I had with the original TurboHog file was the folder labelled "aircrafts". Amend this to "aircraft" and the mod works. At least that's what I found. See my video for a demo flight.

 

Best Regards

For example, a JTAC

[CAMERAMAN]

For some reason I cannot get. 1.5d to function with the jtac training mission supplied with the mod.

 

Am I missing something? I installed 1.5d as instructed into jsgme.

 

Any advice would be appreciated

Any help here.

 

I installed the mod - but can't find the training mission.
