Don Rudi Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 (edited) Hi all, +++ updated 02.09.2024 +++ I uploaded my Kola Sandbox, a set of 55 slot based quick missions for 12 different aircraft This sandbox is intended to give the players a set of 55 quick missions on the Kola map, to offer single- or multicrew players some quick fun. In total there are 55 missions/slots available for Royal Norwegian Air Force, Swedish Air Force, Finnish Air Force, US Air Force, US Marine Corps and Russian Air Force. These include: Norway 7x F-16 3x F-5 (full fidelity AND FC4) Sweden 5x Viggen Finland 7x F/A-18 3x MiG-21 USA 5x F-15E 3x AV-8B 5x F-4E 5x A-10CII Russia 3x MiG-21 3x MiG-29 3x Su-33 3x Su-25A You will use air bases, road bases and carriers. You will intercept bombers, mingle with fighters, perform SEAD, conduct precision strikes with guided munitions, provide CAS with rockets, gunpods and dumb bombs and many more. What is this sandbox? It is intended to be an easily accessible set of quick missions for players of all skill levels. It offers a variety of F10 radio options to adapt the difficulty, like adding additional SHORAD or numbing down S-300s. Each of the slots has a unique task assigned. To provide a care free experience, the fligtplan is set, all neccessery radio frequencies are set, loadout is selected, tankers are available. But of course you can always adapt all this to your personal liking. The sandbox is also intended to be the user's personal Kola playing ground. You are a Hornet flyer and want to attack the target of Viper #4? Just grab it. You want to fly the JF-17 instead of the F-16? Just swap it. Users can also add new aircraft slots, like super carrier with Tomcats to their liking. The manual provides all neccessary frequencies and a list of target coordinates for maximum variety. Some highlights: + two versions of the mission - one with all aircraft (except for the Kuznetzov slots) set to cold start and one with all aircraft set to hot start. + Mission overview PDF with all relevant data + 18 page PDF manual + Enemy air assets that are slaved to a specific slot can be unlocked for any (added) aircraft via F10 options + various F10 options to set Red SAM behaviour While this set is intended for the single player, it should work well when used as multiplayer as well.

Chicki Posted August 9, 2024 Posted August 9, 2024 Man my weapons don't seem to want to detonate in this mission. I saw something about a bug where you have to reload your bombs but doesn't seem to work. Bummer.

Chicki Posted August 9, 2024 Posted August 9, 2024 Hi. Flying FIN, F/A-18, slots 1 and 4. JDAMs and SLAM-ER fail to explode. Thanks.
Chicki Posted August 10, 2024 Posted August 10, 2024 Wouldn't be surprised if the patch fixed the problem. Supposed to have addressed the fuse issues in the Hornet. Fingers crossed. 1

Chicki Posted August 12, 2024 Posted August 12, 2024 I flew the oil depot mission and the jdams worked fine. Think the patch fixed it. Fun missions. Wish I could call up some CAP support though. Thanks. 1
