Wiggo Posted January 17, 2023 Share Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Hi! Have now learned Hornet for 2 months, and well it goes. Bought raven one campaign, and now stuck in mission 3 just not knowing what to do, or i get it, but... (the flying itself is not a problem for me, HN works great!), but the terms are new for me totally in brief. Watched videos from youtube. What mens cutoff? How the sim mode works? Do i need to put master arm on after pushing the sim button, while master arm still on? But mostly whatta heck i am supposed to do? Wingman cuts off towards waypoint 5, and I am supposed to orbit around wp4? The wingman never says "fights on" ore anything after "cuttoff" and pushing away from me. I cirlce around wp4 but NOTHING happens. Wingman just flies south then home. WHAT am I doing wrong? Sry for many questions, but the mission is just full thingamobs, little, but still unknown to me. That would not be a problem, if i just could find even tutorials for sim mode.. ? Do i get it right master arm off->sim from stores screen->master arm on (supposed?). Does the sim mode work for anyone who puts it on? I mean does my wingman need to do something, before it even registers the sim shots? So can I just please have simple answers for those questions.. What the hell am i supposed to do, and how that sim mode works, and why my wingman just flies off and comes back but not fight on or when i try to shoot him with sim mode on (if i do it correctly even.. ) nothing happens. How does this thing work? Edited January 17, 2023 by Wiggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted January 18, 2023 Share Posted January 18, 2023 Hey. Cut off means that he should break formation, which is broken in current OB. I checked it in Closed Open Beta and it works fine, so I assume it will be OK after next update, but will double - check that to confirm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I thought that, because I made mission 1 again, it works perfectly, but there ofc I´m the wingman and thats a dogfight. And I have even wrong mission # in topic, it is ofc mission 2 not 3. But yeah it seems to be somehow broken, cause no wingman makes the cutoff, but he flies weirdly to zone where he is noticed "turn south immediatly jadajada", never the "tapes on" etc. as I see in youtube videos of that mission. Basically I just orbit around waypoint 4, and wait for wingman. But he just flies about 50 miles, (after he is noticed to turn (i assume this does not belong to the misison??) then weird turn back from wingman towards me, then back then towards his course and the back again towards me at 1000ft~ height ASL. But so do I understand right, that this mission does not work right now? And thank you. Edited January 21, 2023 by Wiggo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted January 26, 2023 Share Posted January 26, 2023 Hey @Wiggo the weird thing is that I cannot reproduce it. Moreover, there are people reporting that last OB patch fixed the issue for them, so I am at a complete loss what may be going here... We're in touch with ED.

I play open-beta standalone version. No stress dude, it is NICE campaign. I´m really sorry to hear, and understand that it is not fun when your work is thumbled by some new code (or whatever it is). I have played like A LOT of free campaigns also, and it very usual that older ones have triggers etc so totally "exploded" that many times I find myself basically building whole trigger system from start. But hey no stress. It is still nice campaing, and still I can play it in my way and fly back to carrier. Maby just edit the training part out from it? OR the bad guys suddenly coming before the cutoff is even made..? This is just an idea, and just curious that could it be possible for you to just "cut the mission" littlebit? But still Skip button works. Thanks for great service. Never played a game, where mission creator comes in open discussion with me, when havin problems in the game. But maby I will try it, and report back if it works now, as today dcs upgraded itself (dunno was it major patch, havent looked that far yet.. Just noticed it started loading 5 gigs).

baltic_dragon Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Thanks @Wiggo. Also, some people reported that after removing unofficial mods and running a repair this started working again - so if you have any installed, you may try to fly without them on. As I say, I cannot reproduce it - but I don't have any mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wiggo Posted January 31, 2023 Author Share Posted January 31, 2023 Do you mean like full on tuned f22A with huge myriad of weapons, or swedish volvo with gatling on the roof - kinda stuff? ;D "wasnt me". KK maby i´ll try without my f22a, gripen, eurofighter and hercules. If something of those unofficials can do something for the mission, i bet it could be the F22A Nightstorm "mod enchancement mod" (it edits some missile files etc). OR could it have something to do with "western RWR symbology"? That could mess up some of IFF stuff, could be logical. But yeah thank you for super (<333) customer service. As I said earlier, dont know any other game, where true maker of campaign takes and gives straight "feedback". BTW Rise of Persian lion is very nice, now on the chopper mission... BTW the tanking could be more or less optional in some of missions (as they are but not in this. I just tanked my hornet full before RTB from 7200 fuel left.. ) (OK one could really break far from those f-4´s, if want to play for sure. Persian Lion gives great tour of well Persian feeling, with those "there is no horizon" sunsets. It is nice and also somehow "weird" (i an good way) how different "feeling"/ "athmoshpere" there is after playing year of caucasus map, daily. When you feel totally overwhelmed, the DCS is giving it´s best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 LOL... you really have so many mods? Then they can be responsible, yep! Rise of Persian Lion is a very good campaign, but not built by me - but by @Badger633. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rise of Persian Lion is a very good campaign, but not built by me - but by @Badger633. Just F-22, Eurofighter, Gripen and "Swedish military assets pack". F-22 has had some tunes, but nothing really on DCS program folders itself. But deleted those and repaired dcs. F-22 enchancemenet mod goes to a2a_missiles.lua (not sure if file name´s correct but no matter here.. just an example). That and few other .lua were modified by f22 enchancement mod. BUT have not tried raven one yet. Maby I will do it tonight. (tried again i Mean). In meantime played trough other campaigs. Raven one actually could now be more of my skill level, when played in meantime 4 hornet campaigns. This gets interesting, while i have new HOTAS (cheap though) in the mail on its way. I have learned everyhing in DCS with 20 years old SAITEK x45, with huge "clunkiness" in the middle. Have to use 10nm long deadzones. There is zero accuracy in current setup. When that new TM comes in mail, goin to be a goddam Maverick! Interestig times.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
