Mission 5?

[FlankerMan]

I flew the first few waypoints, engaged, died, entered my wingman's aircraft, finished the engagement, was ordered to go to waypoint three, went there, received no further orders, landed, and cannot proceed. What do I do?

Hi Flankerman - try, try again. If you die, you're dead. :angel: It was not intended for you to occupy the wingman's aircraft as it would make no sense for dialogue to continue between a dead guy and other parties...while it also doesn't make too much sense for any dialogue to have occured after your aircraft was shot down, this wasn't something I anticipated people doing and hence didn't build any contingencies.

 

I will look into editing the missions to kick you to the menu on player death as they do with an ROE violation. Should be relatively simple. :thumbup:

I read your post just before giving up on my second try. Once again, I'd had to enter my wingman's aircraft. Next time I do it, I'll do the unthinkable and set myself to immortal, but just for this one mission. I don't mind cheating THAT much...;)

Have you tried not sucking?

Kidding, kidding...

Yeah, the Fulcrums get lots of R-77s off at me at close range, and it's all I can do to stay alive...Doesn't work, of course, as I also try to fire at them.

The AIM-120C5 out ranges the R-77 by quite a bit. Try asking your wingman (don't forget to tell him to turn his RADAR on) to engage one MiG specifically (lock MiG, flight -> engage -> my target) and firing a pair of AIM-120s at RPI. Crank hard and let that first pair of missiles force the bandits defensive before you press into their range. Once both the fighters are splashed you can let your wingman loose on everything indiscriminately (within briefed ROE of course.)

[FlankerMan]

I'm afraid it's too late to try to convince me against it, as I've already done it. Interestingly enough, an R-27ER is all that was fired at me, though I didn't bother to take evasive action. My wingman died, but I passed on to the next mission.

Those MIG 29 are hard, mainly because they are hidding within 4 Su-25s, and my radar seems prefer to lock on the Su-25s.

Any advice on that ? By the time I see them enougth separated, there is already a R77 following me or my wingman.

I guess ROE means Rules of Engament, and that means firing when not allowed ...

 

It happened to me in a mission, maybe mission 3, that I fired an AMRAAM to a bandit, and while it was on the air, I received orders of cease fire from MAGIC, and some seconds later, somethig weird happend, I thouth it was a DCS crash, but no, I wass back in the Menus.

 

What am I supposed to do in that situation ? There is no missile destroy option in the F-15.

That is just unfortunate timing, but not much that we can do on ours side I guess as mission creators. Fortunately the chances for this happening are pretty slim :)

Yeah, it's not really an issue, it was mainly curiosity, what would happen IRL in such a situation, when instead of replaying the mision, you have killed someone ...

You’d probably get grounded and there would be an investigation. On the other hand under these circumstances that probably would wait until the end of hostilities, given limited number of airframes and pilots..
