C. Patrick Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 :helpsmilie: I've attempted this 6 or 7 times. This mission has you eliminating an insurgent convey, before it reaches a specified destination. When you reach the point of convoy engagement, you are instructed that your new primary target is Abraham's insurgent base. 253, and I, decimate the target base, and then land at the mission's destination FARP (fuel tanks running on vapors). I'm missing something that allows successful completion of the mission, and I haven't figured out how to simply fail the mission and move on through the campaign. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! 1 Saitek X52 Pro TrackIr 5 DcsMax 1.6 Vista Ultimate x64, Intel i7 920, 6GB 3-Channel RAM, 2x EVGA GeForce GTX260 SLI
Arclight Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 You're instructed to engage the base facilities, meaning the buildings. Attacking the buildings should trigger an event required for completion. ;) Not that that event is easy to complete. :music_whistling: 1 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] DCS A-10C: putting the 'art' into 'warthog'.

connos Posted July 19, 2009 Posted July 19, 2009 Yes Arclight is correct.

barra733 Posted July 29, 2009 Posted July 29, 2009 Coda - How to take down the Heli I've done this mission twice now but keep losing the heli in the clouds. I dont seem to be able to keep a lock on it...:helpsmilie:
C. Patrick Posted July 29, 2009 Author Posted July 29, 2009 I instructed my wingman to take out the final helicopter. I'm still not good at engaging air targets. Saitek X52 Pro TrackIr 5 DcsMax 1.6 Vista Ultimate x64, Intel i7 920, 6GB 3-Channel RAM, 2x EVGA GeForce GTX260 SLI
barra733 Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 C. Patrick - thanks, I've done this but we both just end up following him until I lose him in the clouds. Does the wingman eventualy take him out?
Warbird_242 Posted July 30, 2009 Posted July 30, 2009 As you trigger the final event, your wingman should say 'bandit spotted' or similar. Just tell him to engage > Wingman 2> engage> engage bandits and he should shoot him down. If that doesn't work then make him jettison all his weapons so he goes straight for cannon and do the same thing. Or, you might find it easier using the cannon with the gunsight not the SHKVAL - just press c with the SHKVAL caged ( backspace)
C. Patrick Posted July 30, 2009 Author Posted July 30, 2009 I completed this mission just as Warbird described. As soon as Abraham's chopper lifted off, I instructed my wingman to engage bandits. I had burned out my laser range finder, and couldn't hit Abraham with my cannon. The wingman sent a Vikhr into Abraham's ride. I remember that it took the game a few moments to respond to the fact that Abraham's chopper had successfully been destroyed, so be patient if you destroy the chopper, and nothing happens.
