Mission 8 Experiences

[Ready]

Another great practice lesson with loads of information I did not know!

@baltic_dragon Items that did not work for me:

01:14:00 IFFCC 30MM page. Adjusting MIN ALT (in mean sea level, not AGL). Voice over says to correct for AGL and enter 1.500. Subtitle says to enter 5.100 feet. I entered 1.500
01:32:00 Minimum Range Cue (did not work, carrot was visible, but it did not drop, so set too high?!?)
01:36:35 Trying the Minimum Range Cue again (not happening)
02:22:35 CCIP Reticle run ins trying to get the Minimum Range Cue, but did not get it. 
02:41:00 Entered orbit at Truck Stop and circled a couple of times, but nothing happened. 
02:44:10 After leaving the orbit the script started again around 5-6NM out.

Thanks for the report. 

The min alt is correct - VO says to put it at 5100 feet MSL, which will be around 1500 feet AGL. It should be set to 5100. Maybe that affected the minimum range cue?

At the truck stop Lotus is told to orbit, and you should proceed - and once you did, the triggers fired normally  

Cheers!

I listened back and misheard and misunderstood the MRC instruction. At 01:16:58 I did set MRC to 5100 feet and stored this but it did not work.

At 02:36:00 2-2 confirms the request to orbit at the truckstop, which I follow. I did not hear any instruction for Biff to orbit and for me to proceed. Biff stays on my wing.

Hm.. in this mission you're with Biff and at 02:36:00 you are told that Tusk 2-2 is to orbit at truck stop (which is Biff) - and he confirms that. But I see where the confusion comes from, Approach says "Tusk 2-1 orbit for spacing 10 miles out please", meaning the whole flight, to which PL replies "Tusk 2 copies and 2-2 will orbit at the truck stop.". I might change the VO to just say Tusk 2, orbit for spacing" which should be more clear.

Great work BTW with all those videos, when you have M10 recorded would you be OK with me sharing the playlist via my FB page?

Okay I did not get it and still don't really. I thought I was not listening to the voice of Biff, but the voice of my character. What was I supposed to do? At 02:36:14 My character confirms to Biff that we will hold the truckstop as per usual, which I did.

Regarding the sharing: I really see how much work went into creating this campaign and learn a lot from it so I am happy to be of help, so of course no problem to share.
