TAC 17 Route to Egress Point and Land

[Hamilton]

Dear friends,

 

Would someone please explain to me the correct altitudes to follow in this mission, mainly after takeoff until CP Bravo.

 

After "Playtime is over" information, and after refueling to landing, I saw the page 12 (TAC17 Mission Data.pdf) it is FL060-070, but I´m not sure...

 

 

Thanks!

Hard to say without seeing a trk file of your flight. You can compare your attempt to Recon Stewart's video.

 

 

If you killed the target and heard Chevy's FOXTROT message indicating the SOF team is ready for pickup then when you get to WP Alpha the FE should request clearance. Then you exit the MOA after that.

 

If it continues and you are certain to be within the MOA boundaries then I suggest a DCS Repair or uninstall and reinstall the campaign. This has been known to correct trigger issues for most users.

The problem of those Recon Stewart's videos is that he "cut" the video after "playtime is over" msg and goes directly to short final to land, then I can´t figure out the altitudes that he followed in the meantime.

 

I edited my previous post above because now my question is only about the altitudes to keep in this mission, mainly from after takeoff until CP Bravo.

 

Thanks!

There is an old thread somewhere in the forums where some A-10 SMEs were talking about the altimeter setting and they indicated that real A-10 pilots do not change the setting but leave it at 2992.

 

So all our A-10 missions are designed to be flown with the setting like that (which is the default the plane starts in).

 

If you fly within the altitudes as indicated in the briefings with the 2992 setting you won't encounter any altitude block violations.

 

I'll post a link to the thread if I can find it again.

Hello Sabre, I think they already fixed it , I´ve just finished this mission and I used the 28:32 inHg setting from the Mission briefing / Tower and had no problems.

 

Thanks!

Just a note tower give QFE, not QNH. QFE is relevant when referring to AGL levels like pattern altitudes etc. Normally when AGL is relevant, I'll just fly on radar altimeter and visual. In IFR conditions, you should set altimeter to QFE for approach to ensure you have alternative altimeter indication.
