Instant Action: No basic missions for F14 in Persian Gulf maps?

[Youtch]

Persian Gulf is full of interesting missions for F14, but I am very surprised not to find the standard basic missions for F14 existing in the other terrains, such as Cold Start, Take Off, Free Flight and Landing.

Am I missing something or these were never developped?

I am surprised they exist for the other maps, even the more recent Afghanistan map.

Many thanks in advance,

y.

I've said before, it would be great if every time we got a new map, there were some basic updates to the instant action missions to have at least these basics available. 

Seems a little crazy to have a few 1000 users go into the ME and do the exact same thing to set them up, instead of one person taking 45 mins and including them with any new-map-shipping update (or the following release).

I agree with the above comments, and it depends on the 3rd party venders. 

Hi @IronMike, is it possible?  Thanks.

Does it depend in this concrete case on Ugra Media as the developper of the terrain or to Heatblur as developper of the F14?

Ugra Media

Sure, I think so.

Having HB as the maintainer so that HB is able to update for any model of F-14s, especially the newer models of A-95-GR and IRIAF.

Is this a good idea?  I am not sure.

Thanks.

No. It's up the each 3rd party module developer. 

I'm not even sure the map developers have access to all the flyable modules.

This discussion comes up after every new map release. 

The South-Atlantic map didn't even come with Razbam missions at first. That was very strange.

Yep, official missions always come from aircraft devs - give it time and they will show up eventually, at least for most popular modules. I remember HB being rather quick and one of the firtst ones regarding that.

Quite a surprise though seeing Orbx presenting recent missions:

These are however provided outside of official DCS update process.

btw: @Youtch the title is misleading. Persian Gulf is a single map and has plenty of missions for the Tomcat already.

For missions for other maps you can always look here:

My point is that while Persian Gulf has plenty of missions, it does not have any of the basic missions the other maps have: Cold Start, Take Off, Free Flight and Landing

I understand from the conversation above that HB should be adding them.

OK, I get it now. I don't think they have a plan for that. I said they add missions to new maps but not specifically "basic" ones. These are rather meant for Caucasus (since it's the free map) or NTTR (since it is friendly territory and dedicated training area).

I can offer creating such missions for you if you wish.

For Supercarrier module we have such missions as Carrier quals (for take off) and Case I/Case III (for free flight) which I always use for training. Out of box we have Case I mission for USS Forrestal which can be used for free flight and landing, tho I don't like ghost ship without crew. 

I understand that it's not exactly what you are asking for. I hope that someday we will get full fidelity mission generator from Eagle Dynamics.

Yeah, I totally forgot about the Create Fast Mission generator. It's the simplest tool to start quick mission however you like it. For free flight you'd want to select advanced mode and set "no" for any opposing forces.
