Mission 8


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty sure I'm doing something wrong but cant figure it out. I'm on the Cat ready and missions says wait for Olive but cant taxi due to F-18 parked in front.

I can get to the cats but Olives tries to taxi but gets stuck behind a static F18 in front of elevator 2.

Just tested it out, mission 8 completed all works fantastic.

Really enjoyed this mission. Took me a few tries. I loved night ASUW stuff in Janes F/A-18 and I'm loving it here too.

 

On the first, I got waaay low on fuel due to hanging out long past bingo and dorking around with the Mav-F and FLIR, neither of which I'm very proficient with yet. Landed at Khasab with less than 2000 lbs and tried to refuel to go back to the boat, but the Omani's wouldn't refuel me, so game over. :(

 

Second and third tries were going well but I got blown away by missiles from the frigate. Note to self: don't forget to configure your countermeasures, meat. (Take three was just bad luck. Full CM and the SAM bagged me anyhow.)

 

Fourth try: Accidentally jettisoned my stores on the way to the combat area. Oops. Reboot, nugget. (Dropped a couple f-bombs as well as my stores, there.)

 

Take five: Victory! Locked out burner so I couldn't use it, took it real easy on gas, and finally worked out my switchology on the mavs and FLIR. Made it back to the ship and bagged the night trap with about 2500 lbs left, no tanking.

 

Thank God for the auto-start and time acceleration features. I'd have abandoned this campaign after about two missions if I had to plod through the whole startup and alignment deal in realtime each time. Thankfully, with these features you can blow through them. I still prefer missions that start on the cat, although with the SC, getting hooked up and shot off is a pretty cool sequence now. I know the immersion/realism junkies consider a hot start to be heretical, but I fly IRL and sitting doing checklists and bit checks isn't my idea of fun when playing a game.

 

For folks having visibility issues on the speedboats, there are several mods out there (most of which are made for VR players with lower-resolutions in game) that put small, colored markers right under friendly, enemy, and neutral contacts in game to aid getting eyeballs-on. While something of a cheat, it does make things MUCH less frustrating on these night missions.

Is there any penalty if say unable to find the target enemy boat? I selected it accidentally but had to restart mission because it opened fire on me and CMS didn't cut it. Finished on next try with the correct radio call.

 

I actually like that there's a need for refueling in many missions. Makes it more real. And it's not that hard with correct length stick. Played this eight mission from the new user-file and spawned correctly on the start.

The one downloaded from user files?

 

The downloaded one works fine. I never tried the old one because this fix was already in place by the time I got to M8. Works great. People who keep posting this as a bug, I think, aren't aware of the available fix.
