Carrier setup and guides

[MaverickMan]

Hi all. It’s been a while since I’ve been on DCS and have just purchased the F/A-18C. Is there a guide on how to setup a mission to practice carrier ops with also a guide for following procedures?

 

Thanks

On "Instant Mission" you should find a carrier mission. (in F/A 18 sel )

On "Training" there is Take off and Navigation

[M1Combat]

There's also a great "Through the Inferno" mission where you can take off, tune radios to awacs and tankers, spawn an AI enemy plane and then land/AAR to reload/refuel... Or just practice carrier traps... all your choice :). You can even spawn A2G missions if you're into that sort of thing...

 

 

 

Here it is...

Hello.

 

I have attached a simple mission ( for the persian map )

 

You start on the carrier.

- All required infor are in the briefing.. however the text is in Danish BUT you can read the tacan and com channel and guess what is what. ;-)

As said its rather simple.

( name F18test1.miz )

 

There is

1 carrier

4 f18c that all start with bombs and aa missiles and 1 fuel tank.

( you can jettison or rearm to remove them )

 

Taxi to launch bar and press U and your f18 will be ready to go.. add full power and you are airborn.

 

Waypoint 1 is an island about 5-10 minutes flight away where you can bomb targets ( there are smoke next to the targets )

There are also 4x mi8 helicopters you can practice shooting down.

 

There is 1 c130 refuel plane that fly in a square box arround the island in 10.000 height at 254 speed.

( you need to be close to tanker when saying ready to pre contact ) and maybe have to try a few times to call it on the radio to work.

( com frq select M radio channel and enter the freq ).

 

Technical speaking the mission ahve "easy radio", meaning just use the radio system and select what you want, and it will automatic program the planes radio for you.. You maybe have to call 2 times to example the refule plane or other to talk to them the first time.

 

PS.. In multiplayer with this mission it happens that two planes spawn on top of each other.. due to a bug

Also when you drop your bombs, it will as standard drop 2 bombs every time... this is also a f18 bug.

And if you rearm on the ship after dropping bombs, then you cannot select the new bombs in the f18 and drop them.. this is also a bug.

So basicly if you go shoot something and want new weapons, reastart the mission.

 

 

PPS.. if you make your own mission with a carrier, then i recommend that you place the carrier and then click the carrier and select advanced waypoint... Delete the top line, and then insert a new command saying TACAN 55X. ( the std. com for the carrier is 127.500 no need to fix this )

Next place the f18 on top of the carrier and select "start from ramp, or start from parking" the difference inbetween are that one start the plane cold and dark, the other with engines running.. .

You need to use the "stennis carrier" and the f18c blog 20 ( marked with yellow text if you select usa ).
