What I am supposed to do if I am not able to find ships in mission 2? All flight time in that mission is trashed. Probably my own error, flew 305 then got call to turn 315 for 15 to find ships. Nothing visual or on PAL. I do not know how to find them.

Search until bingo, then rtb.

I will try next time although I don't think it will count as mission success.

Texaco is not transmitting on TACAN frequency as per the briefing in Mission 9 Dance of the Vampire. I went to the wrong tanker.

[Phantom12]

Not sure if its a SC issue or the campaign but mission 5 seems to consistently park tomcats either partially in or right in the middle of the landing area on the Stennis (truman).

Hi,

I tried to play Mission 5, Alpha Strike Gudauta, but Pontiac doesn´t release the TALDS.

Anyone facing the same issue, or has a hint what I might did wrong?

I tried to play it 2 times, no success.

Just a question - did you download from here, or did you play the one included in the build?

The TALD issue has been fixed in the version that is included in the build.

[Delta Kilo]

I played it from the build.

Will the missions work if I modify them for cold start or it will break timers, cat launch sequencing, etc?

It can potentially break the timing, yes. The missions are all timed for the starts as are, so you would have to make changes to triggers, spawn distances of other aircraft, etc... I would not recommend it.

Thank you. That is odd, I will take a look.

Hi IronMike,

I tried it 3 times today but still not working.

I confirm that I have the updated file dated on the day of my DCS update.

I dont know if it is related to it, but the flight does not reach together WP 3. And the voice over that pontiac should release the TALDS appears when the flight already turns back home.

As explained it won't work yet. We have to wait for ED fix.

@draconus: Quote on last DCS world open beta update:" Prepared Op. Reforger Mission 5 for pending F-14 AI TALD fix by ED.".

That´s why.

I know. It reads: prepared for pending fix - not mission already fixed.

[Delta Kilo]

Ooo, I see. My bad!

I guess I was too excited when reading it. My teacher used to say: The one who can read is definetly having an advantage!

@Delta Kilo provided all things go well, the fix should be in the coming patch. Thank you for your patience and testing!

I am having a devil of a job with mission 7 and jesters instructions, he says go round the mountain... i am on a plane with "hills" to the north ... yes i followed his directions,  and i cant seem to locate the hind??

[DD_Fenrir]

The mountain he references is a standalone hillock, well south of the mountain range, and also south of the Inguri River - it's around this landmark the Marines and the frontline are arrayed.

You're supposed to head south on the Western side of this hill, getting low as you do so, turning back to the Northeast as you come around it's southern end.

Use PAL, the Hind is low, if you leave the radar in PD and expect Jester to find him, you're gonna be SOL.

If you lock something up at very low level, ignore Jesters declaration that it's a friendly - he's getting IFF indications from friendlies at a higher alitude and much longer range that happen to be on the same bearing as the Hind. 

IIRC the Hind is some 8-10nm from you and not a million miles away from an SA-8 site so go in quick and smash him with a Sidewinder or Guns - AIM-7s are very unreliable against very low flying helicopters - ask me how I know...

ah ... i have a very particular view what is a mountain ... many thanks for your very patient explanation i will give it another crack tomorrow, i think i was confused by that and the reference to him being 10nm  east ...  I was in PAL but hopefully now i will be pointing in the right direction ...
