Snappy Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Ok I have a question. I joined as Mi-8 in the following scenario (see attached pic). The red FARP in question was the only one I was able to spawn and its literally the furthest back and as far in the red side backyard as possible and therefore as far from the front as it could possible be. Still upon trying to load troops to change the course of war, I get the message "can't load troops this close to the frontline" . Well thats unfortunate and quite frustrating. How am I supposed to help change the front /battle, if I can't even get troops in my own backyard. Can this be adjusted, at least for the scenario when you are deep in your own territory, regardless of the front? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordants Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 (edited) CSAR Operations I had a similar scenario where in I took of in a Huey from the most western side of the map far from the frontline. My FM Homing took me all the way to the frontline a good twenty divisions with no deviations for any other downed pilots on my route. FM Homing gives bearing only not range for downed pilots. I just wondered if there is a way of determining, via the map maybe or F10 menu, the rough co-ords of the downed pilots. Unless others can enlighten me of a different way to search for the downed aircrew?

iuiz Posted December 21, 2021 Share Posted December 21, 2021 Thanks for this server, this sound really great. I am kinda sad, that I don't own any of these planes (except for the free SU-25). I was hoping that the M2000c was included, as I am trying to learn it for two weeks now and nearly finished the campaign :). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The earlier Mirage being worked on will probably work well on the server, but sadly the M2000c, while a really cool plane, is way, way, way too advanced for this server. I'd recommend trialing the MiG-21bis or Viggen whenever you are done trialing the M2000c to get in on some sweet, sweet delta wing action.

The Mirage F.1 will be the most advanced fighter with respect to the current roster. Red will not have anything to equal it until Razbam’s Mig-23 arrives. If only we had Mirage IIIc… it was the historical enemy of the Mig 17/19/21. Mirage III, ahhhh, one can still dream… maybe Aerges will do that after the F.1 … and Augragan, Mystere IV, Super Mystere, will be awesome on the cold war servers too. Dassault was producing great planes one after the other back then. Too bad none of these are on the roadmap. 1 “Mosquitoes fly, but flies don’t Mosquito” :pilotfly: - Geoffrey de Havilland. ... well, he could have said it!

Unless others can enlighten me of a different way to search for the downed aircrew? I noticed something similar on red side. You can be sometimes very close to red smoke and still the homing indicator doesn't pick up anything and then again sometimes you get a signal indication (on Channel 4 of the ARC-UD with an alive needle indication ) and it leads you all the way over across X sectors to the other end of the map. @Enigma89 could you kindly double check that the CSAR radio homing is set up correctly for both sides and please do a practical test if you find the time? Maybe the signal output strength / range needs tuning. I would expect the beacon to lead me to nearest downed pilot and not all the way across the map, especially since it doesnt provide range , like Mordants already said. Thank you very much, Kind regards, Snappy Edit: Also, side question: is there a time delay between a Pilot ejecting and once he starts transmitting his beacon? Do AI ejections from bombers for example generate downed pilots too? Edited December 22, 2021 by Snappy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do AI ejections from bombers for example generate downed pilots too? Bomber pilots do give CSAR pilots. The pilot must reach the ground then they are transformed into a CSAR soldier. The radio beacons get funky if you are flying low, if you fly higher they will work properly (or should at least). In the interim, we added a csar menu in F10 radio menu to help you find people.
