Mirage F1 Fighter Weapons School - training campaign 2023 +++ updated +++

[dresoccer4]

also on Mission 1, it said vectors would be provided after takeoff, however I didn't notice any, where are they shown?

Also I've been flying southwest for aw while but haven't spotted any bogey, how am I supposed to know when I'm close?

on first mission and see info conflict:

but in-sim it shows:

 

Which one is correct?

Hi and apologies for the late reply, 

Thanks for the hint, I will correct the manual in the next update. The values are still correct though, as it depends on how fast you get into the air and how fast you fly. The bogey will be somewhere around 220-230° from you. It should pop up on your radar pretty quickly, if you yurself are also flying at around 18,000ft.
You will get an info as soon as you are airborne.
Checkout D34thf4c3's video on YouTube, he does a nice showcasing of the mission: 

 

A huge thanks to user D34thf4c3, who is currently creating a playlist on Youtube, flying the Mirage F1 Fighter Weapons School.

Not sure if I am just doing something wrong, but the radio presets in Appendix B don't seem to match what I actually have in the plane... maybe Aerges changed something in the module which caused all the radio frequencies to be reset?

Either way, I'm enjoying the campaign, and can change the radio presets in the mission editor for missions that need it anyway, so no big deal.

Thanks for the missions.

Having some issues with #B07:

First, there's no loadout on the aircraft at mission start. The instructions mention belougas so I load them on all pylons with the rearm menu

Second, I'm pulling up to 40 degrees at the green smoke but the bomblets are landing on the town about half way between the green smoke and the red smoke (target).

Has ED updated the belougas since the last release maybe? Or am I just bad? (Very possible)

[its_me_fuzzy]

Alright, so I overcame the issues with #B07 by using the alternative attack profile with SAMP-250s instead of Belougas.

However, I've just done #B09, the LGB strike, and, probably because of changes to DCS's fusing and arming windows, the laser code is not set correctly on mission start. Its on the default 1688 instead of the 1588 the drone is using. This could be fixed either by just briefing it or updating the default in the mission editor.

Great campaign otherwise, I'm having a good time!

I will have a look, thanks for pointing out!

This is strange, sounds like something was changed (or my sausage fingers messed something up). I will check it - thanks and sorry for the trouble.

Hmm, I fixed this in January 2024. When did you download the campaign?

Oh thanks for responding! I'm using this version: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3334349/, is there a newer one I missed?

Edit - I used my brain and went to look at all your uploads and found the hotfix you uploaded in Jan 2024, apologies.

The campaign file includes the bug fix as well, but only if you downloaded it after 6 January 2024. 
I had a look at the loadout issue, it seems they added these new double racks for the inboard pylons. I assume that's why my original loadout was invalidated. 
I will also look at the radio presets that Proper Charlie mentioned above. I don't want to rule out that I messed something up, when I swapped the F1CE to the F1BE in those missions.
If it is an isolated problem with just one or two missions, I will supply hotfixes, if it turns out to be something general, I'd like to wait for the F1M, as I will have to update the campaign then anyway.

As it seems, one of the aircraft updates reset all the VHF/UHF radio presets, as well as new loadouts were added, deleting the loadout in mission B07.
All this is fixed now and the campaign is updated accordingly.
