So whenever a flight goes down and pilot ejects, this sound triggers?  As long as I'm monitoring guard, I'll hear it.

 

Good to know.  I will keep this in mind for future missions.

 

Yep!

[Mistermann]

Meant to thank @Cepheus76 earlier.  Appreciate the responses from both you and @Sedlo.  Just finished M5 and heard that sound again -- this time with much less excitement and fear that it was an Iranian Tomcat on my six!

I just 'completed' the SEAD hawk at Bandar Abbas mission (miz 6?), although both times I flew it I got a 'draw'. Both times I launched both harms and landed on the boat.. The second time the harms killed 2 components of the site. I was doing pre-briefed shots. Is there some conditions I'm not meeting to get the 'success' on that one?

And final question, should I be being 'pushed' to marshal on these missions? I usually get the message to fly direct to the carrier, but then when I get to 50 MI I hadn't been pushed to marshal freq and so I switch myself. Do I get 'pushed' over closer to the carrier and I just need to wait till I'm closer and already within the marshal's airspace?

I just had the same thing happen to me.  I was able to take out the Hawk and head back to the boat.  Maybe I missed a WP along the way, IDK.  I got within 20mi of the boat expecting to be told to change the radio to Marshall - that never happened.  I switched the right radio to M and contacted the boat and landed after heading back out to CaseIII marshal stack.  Landed and got a 50 - Draw.  I knew changing the radio myself wasn't the right thing to do, but at the same time, I didn't know where/when the trigger might fire.

Not a big deal, I'll move onto the next mission.  

Having a blast, Sedlo!

First of all: thank you @Sedlo for creating and maintaining the campaign.

I'm flying the 3rd mission and, when we are flying towards CAP1, the AI wingman keeps flooding the tac channel with the same report over and over (350 for 150 - very annoying). I stopped flying it, because I don't know If changing the freq, so I don't listen to the AI, will "break the mission".

 Is there anything else I can do to enlighten this pest, that has probably slept during the class, in AI pilot school, when they taught radio discipline?

I was considering opening the mission in ME, but I'd like no spoilers - I enjoy not knowing what is coming to the player. So, here I am, bothering you  :- )

That unfortunately is a DCS bug, not a Bold Cheetah bug.

That’s odd, I thought it should be set to off.  I’ll have a look this weekend. 
 

one thing to check, do you happen to have Easy Comms forced on?  If so, that could be the issue.

Indeed, but while ED doesn't fix the issue, I've read mission creators use a few workarounds. I was just checking if there was one from Sedlo.

Update:
I endured mission 3 and, in mission 4, AI wingman behaved well. I'll post here how the next one goes.

Hey @tityus!  I’ll be able to test soon, I’ll check to see if something went wrong.   Thank you for the report!

I hope you enjoy the rest of the campaign!  Mission 5 coming up is one of my favourites

[Sedlo]

@tityus, I was able to find the issue and will fix it in next update.   Looks like this is the only one so far that’s been affected.  
 

thank you for letting me know!!

[Sedlo]

FYI, Bold Cheetah updated version 2.9.A001 is now available: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3326679/

Hay Sedlo,

just found this "official" channel for campaign feedback.

In Mission 5 "Rescue", based of the TacView review, of all the Tomahawks launched, 7 missiles never go anywhere, just loitering in circles over the sea all the way until I land back on the boat. If it was intentional, then disregard.

Thanks for your work nonetheless !

Hey RAZOR! Yep, this is a bug introduced in 2.9.  Hopefully will be fixed next patch!

[Razor18]

Oh... OK, two weeks then...

[Razor18]

Mission 6

Base altitude on the pdf doc is 9 000, on the kneeboard 10 000.

Push time: kneeboard :20, Briefing text 15:40, pdf doc :40.

Hope this helps.

[Razor18]

Mission 9: while in orbit, trying to locate friendlies' position, out of nowhere JTAC comes up and says "Good job shacking that bunker!". Uhhh... what?...

[Sedlo]

Got a track, @Razor18 ?  I can look into it.

[Razor18]

Oh... I forgot to save it. But TacView doesn't show any weapon employment, nor any target destroyed at that time...

[Razor18]

Re-flew it, now it was all OK. Still don't know what could have triggered it in the previous attempt...

Copy.. Yeah, I just re-flew it and all was well.  Not sure what happened, but I'll leave it for now.

[Razor18]

OK, thanks...

I share that opinion: Mission 5 is a good one and I really enjoyed the campaign.

Just dropping a line  - the problem I had with the yapper AI happened only one more time during the campaign. I'm leaned to believe it's a DCS thing, because on a second try on that same mission, he behaved well.

For those reading this to decide if you should give it a try or not: Yes, you should!

thank you Sedlo (and team?)

S!
