capthaltli Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 Wanted to brainstorm future missions for the Hornet. Input and ideas welcome. RAG - Fleet Replacement Squadron (not sure what Map would work best, thinking NTTR, even though the Charlie RAG is at Oceana, VFA-106) Missions include FAM Flights Formation (day/night) AAR BFM ACM AG FCLP Day CQ (Normandy map) Night CQ (use Normandy map?) Nugget - Welcome to the Fleet (all carrier based) Syllabus and quals to include wingman tasks, weapons use, and flight lead task. Would need a former or current Hornet pilot to maybe outline all the quals pilots get when they are in the fleet. Navy Fighter Weapons School - TopGun (NTTR would work best, wish we had Fallon) Syllabus includes ACM, BFM, AG that mimics NFWS syllabus. Would be cool that if you finished this mission you received a 'virtual' NFWS patch, and could be a patch wearer in MP.

I particularly like the "Nugget - Welcome to the Fleet" idea. :thumbup: Fighter Pilot Podcast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMEDooley Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I’m pretty sure MapleFlag is working on the training campaign for he 18. If ED was smart they would bundle the training as a campaign ala Mirage style. Baltic did a great job on the training missions and on the free campaign.

This is beautiful - take the player through the (flying) career of a modern-day F/A-18 flyer! It would be awesome if there were a way to "lock" the TOPGUN campaign until after one "real" campaign is complete, since TOPGUN is something done typically between an NA's first and second deployments. FYI - TOPGUN is no longer "Navy Fighter Weapons School. It's now the Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor (NSFTI) program. :thumbup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probad Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Would be cool that if you finished this mission you received a 'virtual' NFWS patch, and could be a patch wearer in MP. cant wait to laugh at the tools who would actually try to leverage this in an argument 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capthaltli Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 Another thread of ideas for a mission could focus on Carrier Landing Challenges. Some ideas include: CASE I/II Ops: Varying winds (light, strong, axial, port, starboard) Pitching deck $HB competition (>500 knots, 500ft, 0.5NM break) Groove and interval precision (must follow interval AI traffic in pattern correct distance and stay in groove correct time) No HUD Single engine Sun glare off deck or IFLOLS (Clara approach) Break the deck (judge time to enter the break based off AI launching off carrier) CASE III Ops: CV1 approach flown and timed correctly with AI traffic on approach Moonless night Night in the barrel (LSO auto calls wave off or simulate hook skip to force multiple attempts) Pitching Deck No HUD Single Engine Mode 1 Anyone have any other ideas to add to the list?
