Fortress Mozdok Campaign | Take Down Mission

[BattleAxes Skinner]

Hey guys,

 

Just ended up flying this for the 2nd time now, both the times, I ran out of gas after downing 4 F18s...told my wingmen to complete mission and RTB while I ejected...stuck around looking at F2 views of other Su34s etc. but they all return to base w/o completing the mission...did tell them to press on with their tasks whenever the 'Other' option came up on the screen. Not sure what's wrong.

 

Also, is this the very last mission of the campaign?

Replay the missions when you get dcs v1.54 as those missions have been re-written to complete correctly, well at time of editing anyway ;-).

 

no that is the second last mission, followed by "davey jones locker".

 

Regards, Ian.

Cool. Thanks Ian. Hoping DCS will themselves push the 1.5.4 update when it's stable?

Just went through the change logs for v1.5.4...doesn't mention any corrections to campaigns or missions!

[BattleAxes Skinner]

You were right Ian. Just finished the mission... on to Davey Jones' Locker! Thanks

They do that a lot, push through updates and fixes and don't actually list them, but I am telling you (because of insider knowledge) they are updated, because I have been keeping any eye out for when they appeared in game as they have my tell tale signature and voice overs in some missions now.

 

The last mission you will play in that campaign has been quite extensively changed, in previous version the Antiship bombers started mid air for the attack run and never suceeded in killing the Carrier, now they will start at airfield, taxi and takeoff for objective, and so on.

 

All flaming cliffs campaigns have been tested and changed to work as advertised under dcs 1.5x except: Su33 Heavy Sky and Su-25 Cold war warrior campaigns.

 

So enjoy, and let me know how you get on.

 

Regards, Ian.

Hey Ian, All done. To be honest, I didn't contribute much to the Davey Jones' Locker one; got shot down way too early, but hung around after ejecting and the chaps did their job!

 

So are you the voice that comes in at times to say 'The strike package is on station...waiting for your nod...etc.'??? Seemed to be the same voice in the Su-27 training modules. There's also a girl's voice in some of the missions.

My specific voice isn't in those missions, I used the computers voices built into Windows 8, much easier and quicker to produce through text to speech.

 

US woman for command, English woman for some flights, US man for SEAD and or some other flights.

 

I have used my voice in other missions, mainly the A-10c and Ka-50 single player missions and some campaign missions, but I don't like my own voice much and making them sound like radio transmission takes to much time. I haven't supplied any of the single mission for inclusion to DCS as yet.

 

With davey jones locker, you must have contributed enough as the SEAD wouldn't usually succeed unless a good amount of the enemy resistance is shot down or distracted, I had put in a couple more defensive flights from the carrier for that exact reason of the player having no impact on the mission succeeding, you do have help from other flights, but if the player does nothing the SEAD flight can't win because they will be cleaned up by the multitude of enemy fighters.

 

Hope you enjoyed it regardless, I would say it quite a difficult mission due to being overwelmed by fighters in the air, but being smart and timing is everything to get all of the SEAD threw to finish the carrier.

 

Cheers, Ian.
