Now stuck at mission 5...

[cesarferrolho]

So, i destroy the B-52 like intended. But contrary to the previous section (LGB), the mission doesn't react to the target being destroyed (Other than the DCS blue window BDA).

The target, the B-52 near the old runway, is destroyed, it's no more.

Paco doesn't seem to acknowledge and i get no other option in F10 except repeat section.

I don't see Paco anywhere either, i only see an Enfield11 F-14 at Groom Lake...

Please send a screenshot of your message history after you got stuck.

 

my guess would be you didn’t fly the pattern according to the brief. Or maybe you didn’t come around for a 2nd pass? How many passes are briefed? What anout the pullout? Check the briefing again please.

I only saw one pass briefed.

I only hit the bomber on a 2nd pass, since i overshot the target the first one. But on the second i think i sort of made the pass as good as on the previous LGB run.

I just want to progress to the next phase, i can't spend days trying to perfect the pass. I don't care if i get a bad grade. Shouldn't destroying the target grant access to the next phase?

This campaign is not about destroying the target, but about learning to do it realistically, the Navy way. I'll leave this screenshot here from your track, it has all the clues you'll need

From the briefing:

"We’ll fly over the target at 11K, once you tell me you have the target acquired, I’ll break up and left to 15K, 400 kts, 3 miles abeam. You follow 10-15 seconds later, when I call Abeam. Good?"

and later:

"Remember, stay level at 15K, 400 kts, in a roughly 3 mile arc."

And the whiteboard:

And in case the player missed all of that, I put the message on screen that's also visible on the screenshot I took from your track.

Yes, i was doing the wrong turns. But those triggers are rather tricky. It would be better to just mark it immediately as a failure ! That way the player could understand he is doing it all wrong, instead of wandering around.

One trigger i realised, for instance, is when i do half of a turn, is when my pilot says "Two off safe", regardless of distance.

But like i said, doing the same mistakes, in the LGB part, the mission progressed...

But anyway, i tried again and i got it completed. I saw in Tacview how my circles were wrong.

Thanks for the help
