a1133620002 Posted November 9, 2022 Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) I listened to lots of former Tomcat pilot/rio podcast talking about their FAC-A and CAS mission after 911, and from the awesome "Training day" single player mission, I have seen the great potential of creating very immersed FAC-A mission just like what is shown in this multiplayer video I found, and if ED or HB can create something like the FAC scripts for OV-10, plus the TARP pod, I think the Tomcat module will become the best module in DCS(althogh it already is!)

Agreed, FAC in the Tomcat is great, we also added the role in the mission editor. As for TARPS - that is a recce pod and not suitable for FAC though. It takes photos, and later on you analyze the fotos. For example for BDA, or "what ships are in the harbor" or take a picture of an enemy base, etc etc. What does the FAC script do for the OV-10? I never tried either myself, would love to know more. Thank you!

Thank you! Hi Mike, Sorry, I should make myself clear, TARPS is an seperate idea since Enigma's cold war server is running the RECCE mission for Viggen and Mig21 very well! (people has to mount recon pod on it without any weapon) and I was thinking by having TARPS system, we can have lots of fun missions. (I guess even if the TARPS pod is a dummy 3d module, we can already build cool missions around it) For the OV-10 fac script, it's created by Carsten, by using the long on station time of OV-10(just like F-14), the script allows player to be the FAC to corrdinate all the available resources in hand to attack ground targets, from Jets to helos, but I am not sure if Arty is included. Too bad that Carsten said he can't put voice line into it, I can imagine if we can have the full conversation in voice, the immersion will be incredible! Edited November 10, 2022 by a1133620002
