Gliptal Posted December 26, 2016 Author Posted December 26, 2016 You should be getting a message as soon as you enter the A/G range, provided you do so from the right direction (basically following the flight plan). You should be initially instructed to use your JDAMs on the CP posts, and from there given new targets and weapons combinations each time. Where did you approach the range from?
Razor18 Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 I guess rather from the sea coming direct from refueling. Will try again, now version 1.2.2, as I found this update only now, looking for this clue. Was downloaded earlier, but never tried yet... THX !!!
Gliptal Posted December 26, 2016 Author Posted December 26, 2016 Let me know if you end up having any problems. Overflying the WP before the AG range WP (name is FENCE IN if I remember correctly) should trigger the messages after AAR. You'll know you're on the right track if you're instructed to do a 360° turn to realign the JDAMs.
Razor18 Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 Funny, I indeed got the message to turn to realign JDAM's but no more specifics after that AFIK...
Gliptal Posted December 26, 2016 Author Posted December 26, 2016 Funny, I indeed got the message to turn to realign JDAM's but no more specifics after that AFIK...That's odd, the following message instructing you to use the JDAMs is triggered by a timer. I don't see how you could not have triggered it. You might have missed it, since the message box stays on screen from the previous message, only changing its contents. In one of the latest versions I added a squelch sound that plays on each new message, it should help with not missing anything. You might have a had a previous version without it.
Razor18 Posted December 26, 2016 Posted December 26, 2016 Yeah, I had the original. Will check it out.
Razor18 Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 Hi Gliptal, minor thing, I dunno if possible to fix: I wasn't tuned on the right frequency when calling in SEAD, but the options disappeared after transmission anyway. Is it possible not to loose it if not transmitted on the right frequency? I know it's my bad to be on the right freq tough, but could be checked if transmitted on the right one, before loosing it, as I could tune in and re-transmit in real life after realising no reply ever comes?
Gliptal Posted December 28, 2016 Author Posted December 28, 2016 Even if you're on the wrong frequency the SEAD run should start, you'll just not hear their response. Unfortunately checking for the radios is a bit of a mess with the mission editor.
Razor18 Posted December 28, 2016 Posted December 28, 2016 OMG, what a great mission! I just landed. Is there any specific parking area to aim for to succeed? I vacated RWY 07 to the right at the end, cause mid runway turn off to taxiway was blocked by a vehicle. Then on the taxyway back, there was another block so I turned left, parked but no message popped up about success or failure. Previously I almost touched down when the message about the oh. break popped up, so I just aborted final, went around, but accelerating and cleaning up I'm not sure I meet oh. break requirements (what are they?). Would be nice to know ahead in the RTB message to prepare for an overhead rather than for a precision approach. "Precisely following FLT PLAN" doesn't state speed and action to do. :-) Otherwise it is a great fun!!! THX a lot!!! Will redo again for sure!
Gliptal Posted December 28, 2016 Author Posted December 28, 2016 Good point about telling the player to prepare for an overhead. The path is blocked because you're supposed to wait a few seconds for your stuff to be dearmed (remaining weapons, countermesaures). Stop in front of the soldier (coming from the last taxiway) and wait until he moves. Finally proceed to one of the parking spots close to the other A-10s to end the mission. I'll update the mission and a couple of briefing cards to make everything more clear, when I come back from the holidays. Thanks for the feedback, and I'm glad you liked the mission!

These are all informations that would be also nice to know in advance. And the correct path to follow (if there is any) to the dearming station. I couldn't find out I have to wait for anything to happen. Did I miss it in the pop up messages maybe?

Pochi Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Hi Gliptal, First I want to thank you for this mission. I only tried the begining out but the AFAC portion kept me busy for a while. I wondered how I should proceed. I tried entering the coordinate from F10 menu, but I then understood I just had to look around WPT4. I wonder what are the requirement for Air refueling because as a real beginner, I still have great difficulties to complete refuel. Is there a way to proceed to next task in the mission, or do I need full fuel tank to proceed? Also, I noticed that the drone departing at the begining of the misson is completely dark. I guess it is a skin problem. I tried to edit your mission in the editor to choose another skin but when I load your mission I can not see anything on the map, no aircrafts, no waypoints. Thanks again for your work, Pierre
Razor18 Posted February 9, 2017 Posted February 9, 2017 Hi Gliptal, Also, I noticed that the drone departing at the begining of the misson is completely dark. Pierre Shhh, don't tell anyone! It's a Skunkworks drone... :lol: 1
Gliptal Posted February 9, 2017 Author Posted February 9, 2017 I completely forgot I had to update the mission with Razor18's feedback, I'll get to it this weekend. I wonder what are the requirement for Air refueling because as a real beginner, I still have great difficulties to complete refuel. Is there a way to proceed to next task in the mission, or do I need full fuel tank to proceed?No requirements: just get close to the tanker (around 2nm IIRC), and as soon as the refueling message pops up, you are free to proceed to the AG range. Also, I noticed that the drone departing at the begining of the misson is completely dark. I guess it is a skin problem. I tried to edit your mission in the editor to choose another skin but when I load your mission I can not see anything on the map, no aircrafts, no waypoints.This is odd. I used the italian skin, they may have removed it for some reason. You see nothing on the map because most units are set as hidden in the editor.
Gliptal Posted February 11, 2017 Author Posted February 11, 2017 Updated to 1.2.3, minor changes to the briefing. I am not seeing the skins problem on the UAV though: could you try a repair on your end Pochi?

Just a heads up, you didn't update the download link here at the bottom of your post tough... :music_whistling:

Razor18 Posted February 12, 2017 Posted February 12, 2017 I did leave 1.2.2, but 1.2.3 should be there.
