Mission 03 problems report

[Falken2]

Hi. 

Love the campaign, Immersion, mission 1 and 2 are a great experience.

3 problems in mission 3 :

1. Why does my wingman not engage when we are tasked to commit with the southern group (4 SU-25) ? Do I have to use usual comms to ask him to engage ?

2. Can't ask Texaco 5.1 to refuel with usual DCS comm. I do use UHF-5 Amber 1. In response, all I get is a short noise.

3. Unlimited fuel option doesn't function. Getting 5,000 pounds of fuel will be challenging for me. Chainsaw will have to be very patient.

1) The built in menu has no effect on your wingman in the campaign. He will engage as long as he can see/detect the SU-25s. But that I cannot guarantee in a dynamic situation.

2) you're using the wrong radio button. You have to transmit on the UHF

3) will be fixed in the next update. Until then, keep trying and practicing, once it clicks, AAR is a lot of fun

Replayed mission 3 : 

1. Roach (my wingman) fired and killed the 2 SU-27 (north group),which was not the plan ! That's what DCS debrief says. I had to kill the 4 SU-25.

2. I use UHF channel 5 287.3 MHz 100% sure. It went a little different (further). This time I had a message 'presse SPACE when visual contact with Texaco'. I did, heard myself calling Texaco to request refuel. Texaco lit his lights and deployed the boom. I was told to use DCS comms. It still didn't work out.

He couldn't have killed the North group because the North group is invisible to the AI. He killed the South group and that's fine.

Yes you're on the right channel on your UHF, but you're probably transmitting through VHF. Easy comms are disabled for the campaign so you'll need to sue the appropriate buttons.

I installed last DCS version :

- unlimited fuel option is functioning 

- I could use standard DCS comms with tanker to get contact clearance (and than use F10 option to avoid a full refuel procedure) 

- for the attack with my wingman, my misunderstanding. I thought north group was the flankers and the south group the SU25. We engaged the south group flankers and then the SU25. wingman killed a flankers and a frog foot. 

So everything is now OK. Got to get proficient in AAR, I know.
