Will it be possible to act as a FAC or receive JTAC assignments?

As above.

 

I'd like to act as a FAC and designate targets for friendlies. Also, I'd like to receive JTAC assignments.

 

Is it possible to act as a recon and have the mission know that you have sighted a particular object on the map? I'd like to create recon missions where I complete the mission by visually sighting targets.

You may likely be talking Single Player, but so you know :

 

In MP, you can still find target, locate it on the map and pass the GPS coordinate to A-10C, Ka-50 pilots (well, probably Mirage depending on their CDU). Then pilot to enter coordinate in his targeting computer ;)

Hi Gents

 

Yes you can receive JTAC assignments even with decimal degrees coordinates to put directly in NADIR, but it will need to edit the DCS/Sounds/Speech/NATO.lua

That's why at the moment it can only be outside the module.

Here's a sample

just a mod to be used with usual caution about mods.

NATO.lua

Thanks Pat!

Oh if only the laser could be detectable by the A-10 ;)

....or the Mirage. Designating targets with laser would be awesome.

[Einherjer]

Maybe on lase code 1113? ;) so the FACing Gazelle can lase targets for a-10c, su-25t or mod planes based on it

 

Realism? As long we have no recon chopper we can fill this gap with creativity, phantasy and Mods

[dimitriov]

Yes mod it, don't count on us for your fantasy :megalol:

[Einherjer]

Tell me how and i will do it instantly ;)

Gazelle laser is not a designation one, just a ranging laser.

Ok now I understand. Thanks Whisper! :thumbup:
