Case 3 Training Mission - Given 28min Spin it!!

[FoxxyTrotty]

I just had a go with DCS for first time in a while and did the hornet/night/case 3 recovery training mission. All works nicely, but being a little out of practice I boltered and hearing the words "bolter bolter..." from LSO was my final communication.

 

As i'm coming back around still hearing nothing I raise contact with the ship, and am given a 28 minute expected recovery time, as if it was my first time contacting the ship all over again. Time was 35min past the hour, so it's doubtful marshall was referring to the minutes, unless I was expected to spin and hold for near 50 minutes.

 

I've just been reading through patch notes, and there's nothing I can see with regards to improving radio comms between player and the ship (AI path finding and AI not crashing planes are welcome though).

 

Can we consider ATC on SC handling the bolter a little more gracefully, perhaps follow up instructions that don't make it feel like i'm having to restart the entire set of scripted instructions from afresh.

I doubt many players will want to hold another half hour or so in the dark to attempt a second go, even if the tankers make it possible... and on that note, the radio channels need setting up in that mission to the freqs shown in the mission description, i had to tune them myself for assets other than the mother, which is a minor issue. They are shown pre programed into the channels 1-2 left and right.

 

thanks
