Single player Air to Air mission in early stage of work for testing

[Wexler]

Hello fellow viggen pilots,

 

I am starting with mission editor and enjoying the work in it. After first week of work, I would like to show you my mission for feedback. This is early stage and although it is now able to be finished, the main features are still not implemented. It is definetly targeted for learning purposes. It can be done in aprx. 25 minutes without single landing, but aproach should be with landings and testing different weapons and employment 1. AKAN; 2. RB24J then it should take for the first aproach about 50 minutes. Just try and You will see if there is potential in me. Thank you very much and keep feedback coming.

 

Current state is as follow:

Playable from start to end: YES

Hand to hand lead through the mission: partially implemented

Main Goal - Tutorial Procedures for AJS-37 basics, a2a combat and its environment: Not yet implemented

Vocalization: Not implemented

Debriefing (Evaluation): not yet implemented, (partially implemented)

 

Mission is focused:

-VR friendly, should be done without looking into manual to learn ajs-37 basics and A2A combat in DCS environment.

-for DCS Beginners, AJS-37 beginners, casual and low experienced players, AJS-37 returners,

-straightforward approach (not sandbox)

-Complex aircraft duty – starting, refueling and rearming, work with CK (data panel), taxiing, take-offs, navigating by ck and visual, landings.

-To be perfectly done without F10 (map and radio)

-To NOT be overwhelming.

 

Enjoy the flight

Thanks for the mission! It was a good way for me to learn some of the CK37 computer functionality (like inputting waypoints, I used to do this in the mission editor).

 

Here is what I liked about the mission so far:

* Green smoke is a nice way to make the targets more visible, I'm going to remember that.

* Dynamic nature, through the F10 radio menu. Makes it feel more like a training session, than the regular "dumb pilot waiting to be shot down".

 

There are also some things that I did not completely understand:

* At first I though I was a rogue Swedish pilot that join a Warschau pact air force. But, the F-5s in the air are referred to as friendlies, but they are bluefor, not redfor, so ... ? Perhaps you did this to prevent messing up one's fratricide statistics. Nevertheless a little bit of background story or context would be nice here. You might want to call the F-5's aggressors, as is done in the RedFlag exercises.

* Once in the air you are asked to tune your radio to the AWACS channel, but at that time it is not available.

* The messages are introduced with a sound that, frankly, scared the hell out of me. :helpsmilie:

 

All in all there is certainly potential in this mission, surely there is a lot to learn for me!

Thank you Corvinus for feedback.

 

*I did not thinking about nations. For me its just some Aircrafts in air for training purposes. The mission is not for story telling, but if it would, I definetly do care more for the nations.

*The awacs channel warning is merely to acknowledge new pilot, that he have to use different channels while flying.

*Message appearing sound is really "annoying" I agree. It is used temporary.

 

I am very happy for your feedback. Thanks
