Glide Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 I have been experimenting with the AFAC task lately, and how do you know it's working correctly? Is it enough for the unit to pop smoke over the enemy? Or do they make radio specific radio calls?
gavagai Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 You don't even have to have them pop smoke. If you're using the ctld script you'll get an option to see the status with the F10 menu. Do your laser guided bombs work? P-51D | Fw 190D-9 | Bf 109K-4 | Spitfire Mk IX | P-47D | WW2 assets pack | F-86 | Mig-15 | Mig-21 | Mirage 2000C | A-10C II | F-5E | F-16 | F/A-18 | Ka-50 | Combined Arms | FC3 | Nevada | Normandy | Straight of Hormuz | Syria
Glide Posted September 4, 2020 Author Posted September 4, 2020 No, I don't use any scripts yet. Everything works, I'm just wondering if there's more to it.
Yurgon Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 AFACs should get a radio item with their callsign; I think all available AFACs will be listed under the F4 radio menu (exactly like JTACs). And just like JTACs (ground units), they should have line of sight with their targets. I'm not aware of anything else needed to get them to work, although depending on your preferences, they can be customized to have particular targets engaged or to request specific weapons.
Glide Posted September 4, 2020 Author Posted September 4, 2020 Thanks, Yurgon! I will double check my radio ops. Cheers!
