fixed Su-27 Strafing Training Mission should happen in darker conditions

[virgo47]

This is just a reuse of Su-25T gun mission (or the other way around?) but the Su-27 happens way too late - in the morning, instead of in the night. All the voiceover remarks about the cockpit lights, darkness and flares sound ridiculous in such a setup.

There is also a misleading line about K showing for cannon ammo full, this works for Su-25T gun panel, but not for the HUDs, here both planes show 4 for full.

By the way, how did you get the comments about flares to trigger? They did not get triggered on my end.

If I remember, the comment comes with the additional green-smoke targets. I've replayed your track and you missed many of the gates. Su-27 switches the waypoints just fine, but these old missions are pretty adamant when it comes to the gates. There are many lines you missed, e.g. the one about a low gate when you fly over the first ridge, and many other explanation lines on the way to the target.

Yes, I saw them in the mission triggers. I'll try to get a better track for devs.

BTW: Su-25T mission starts in the evening 7:45:00 on 14/02/2012, it's not totally dark, but it works really well.

Of course, the ideal mission would:

• have the gates more as a guide with "close enough" working just fine
• voicovers could be cut by the action mentioned at the end (space, A-G mode, etc.)

But that's probably unrealistic.

About the K mentioned for full cannon, the line is similar, but not identical to the Su-25T mission. Su-25T has this weapon status panel:

I'm not sure whether Su-27 should indicate it as well and it is some kind of regress, but the line says so - except the status panel is left from HDD, not HUD.

I looked again:

Ouch, my bad. I didn't manage to read the Su-27 manual that much. I'm behind with all the manuals despite trying hard. So the line is actually right, I just looked at all the wrong places. Sorry and thanks!

It's OK, I edited the internal report. Your remarks about the time of day are valid.

Fixed with today's OB update.
