PowerBlade34 Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Coincidentally flew this mission today and Bowser let me know he's going home in two weeks back to South Carolina just in time for the Superbowl. Glad I was able to provide CAS support so he can go back safely. Also, what a mission. I had to attempt this three times to land and get mission complete, but wow - chef's kiss. Had to go back and study up on JDAMs, LGB's, the ATFLIR, markpoints and more. Had to re-learn to use the moving map better otherwise I kept getting disoriented. I avoided this mission for over a year due to its length, but just wow. Finally, the easter egg on Channel 7 when RTB is awesome. Amazing work @baltic_dragon
baltic_dragon Posted January 31, 2023 Posted January 31, 2023 Thanks! If you want to know what happened to Bowser later on, make sure to grab the Raven One novel by Kevin Miller, on which this mission is fully based on! For more information, please visit my website.

JesterIsDead Posted April 17, 2023 Posted April 17, 2023 Been trying to complete this mission...Mostly due to my lack of skill to get ATFLIR to mark the truck, I got 62% then had to use my JDAM to finish. I ordered Smoke to drop on the house but he bugged out. He ejected but his jet was still flying and kept crashing and bouncing. By this time I was so low on gas I left Bowser without saying good by. Tanked with 1000 lbs left and managed to get enough fuel for an easy CASE 1 landing. No celebration, easter egg, nothing. Will have to re do this when I have a good 2 hours to myself. I started at the AAR point this morning and still didn't get it done. Smoke killed the truck, but when I dropped the JDAM on the house- silence from Bowser. Circled around until it was bingo fuel.

baltic_dragon Posted May 3, 2023 Posted May 3, 2023 Yes, he is set to "invulnerable" because of the storyline. He probably ran out of fuel and if immortal AI does it, then it just bounces like that. The real issue is why he ran out of fuel as he should not have unless it took a really long time for you to figure out the targets... I'll have to rework this mission as it seems there are a lot of trouble with it. For more information, please visit my website.

"mark it" with the HMD (put it in SOI - the dashed circle shows up) mark the target and then switch to the MFD of your choice and carry on.
