Marianas - Training Missions for the JAS 39C Gripen aircraft Mod

[Rudel_chw]

Hello,

I have been enjoying using the JAS 39C Mod that appeared a year ago:

 

 

Since this Mod didn't had Training Missions, I started to edit training missions for it, mostly for the version of the Mod based on the free Su-25T and I believe that they turned out pretty well, so I'm now sharing them here, this is the download link:

https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3324687/

They are 9 missions in total:

 

 

To use these missions, you need obviously the JAS 39C Mod, get it here:

 

https://github.com/whisky-actual/Community-JAS-39-C/releases

 

This is a really excellent Mod and it has a very active user community on Discord: https://discord.gg/WD3CPfRW

 

The missions are based on the free Marianas Map, but as its installation is optional you may not have it installed yet. It requires around 14 GB of disk space. I know some DCS users dislike this map because it has lower performance than Caucasus, but I honestly am tired of using the same old Map over and over again, so Marianas is for me a breath of fresh air and it offers a very different experience from Caucasus.

 

I'm also aware that there are DCS users that are put off by the synthetic audio on the voiceovers, but while I can read and write english fairly well, my spoken english is pertty awful  .. you are much better off with the synthetic voiceovers, trust me 

 

Also, most of the Weapon training missions require the 476th Fighter Group Target Range objects Mod, you can get it here:

Here is a series of video walkthroughs for each mission, that may help if you get stuck when flying one of them:

 

 

If you find any bug while flying these missions, please report it on this thread and I will do my best to fix it. 

Best regards,

 

Eduardo

 

PS: Almost forgot, to go along with my missions, I also added an entry to the Encyclopedia, as the Gripen didn't have one yet:

Hello,

Today was released the 1.8.5 version of the Gripen Community Mod, and it includes the missions described above. Unfortunately, I edited those missions using the prior 1.8 version of the Mod, and testing them today I find that most don't work correctly on the new 1.8.5 version, mostly because the internal codes used on the UFC panel were changed.

I'm now starting to fix these bugs, but as these are 9 missions it will take a few days to fix them all. I will update this thread as soon as I have them all fixed, and of course at that moment I will send them also to the Gripen development team so that they can update them on their Github page.

Best regards,

 

Eduardo

Hi,

Today I finally finished updating these training missions, so that they work with the current v1.8.5 of the Mod. Download it here:

Unfortunately, I was not able to update M15 Anti-radar Missiles, because the Gripen RWR and ELINT pod have issues that I was not able to circumvent, so I had to drop that mission from the set, sorry for that. Best regards,

Hi, thanks for doing these missions must have been a lot of work and are always going to be easily broken by a moving target such as a Mod which is constantly receiving updates. I think the UFC code changes you mentioned above have affected the logic of the cold & dark (mission number 1) as it gets stuck waiting for an input that I am unable to give. I had to remove the condition in the mission editor so that now you just press the spacebar to proceed but I am guessing there may be others which have the same UFC button checks?
