Mission 6 - contact

[wuffer84]

On mission 6, while orbiting wpt4, I'm told to contact purple 1 on 255.00

I switch to pushbutton 6 (255.00) and try both I and R, but no response. I also try pushbutton 6 (255.00) on Aux, but no response either. I also attempted contact via the f10 menu, but no luck. Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks for letting me know, wuffer84. I'm not sure, it seems you somehow didn't get the radio option to call Magic on 255. Do you have any mods running in DCS that might have caused this?

There is a video here of a mission 6 playthrough by another player. Try and watch and see if they are doing something differently: 

Let me know how you go.

Thanks for the link. 

I'm not sure what I did wrong, I'll try again tonight.

Love the campaign! even the long transits and orbits!

Tried again, good to go the second time around!

Mission 7, I had an AI hornet cut me off within the last 2 miles of a CASE III. Don't think that's your fault - I'm sure it's a DCS bug.

you sure you commenced at your given time?

Fairly certain my timing was right, I did not however use the f10 menu to tell my wingman to rtb. Would that make a difference? AI jet came in hot and pretty fast overtaking me.

If you had another AI Hornet overtake you during a CASE 3 approach, it may have been because you didn’t start at the time you were given by Tower. As for your wingman, don’t order it to RTB during carrier recovery. If it’s a CASE I you only need to use “kiss off” before entering the break. If it’s CASE III just let it do its thing, it’ll start its approach after you have trapped and sometimes it’ll just hang in the marshal stack until you end the mission (I think it’s a bit bugged).
