gekoiq Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 So I've been flying the A10a in FC1/2 for a month or two now after a couple year break from flight sims. Took a little while to get back in the swing. Still have a ways to go but I can manage for now. Really need a proper HOTAS setup more than anything (cyborg x for now...) Trying to get into decent flying shape before DCS:A10C of course :) I played through the campaigns in FC1 and 2 and they were OK. I finally tried out Warthog Day, the On-Call CAS mission and Wow was that a lot of fun. THIS is what the the campaigns for the A10 should consist of. The level of immersion is awesome, I felt like I was actually supporting the ground troops responding to their needs instead of plinking a couple predetermined T80's no one cares about stuck off behind a wall of SAMs. The whole 9 line brief experience is excellent. The voice messages are great, the tasks are fun and challenging. I can only imagine it gets better in DCSA10c. I know it's all scripted in and semi-random, but I think this is the closest thing to the typical A10 mission I've ever seen in any game. It certainly took me a few attempts to successfully complete one of the 'calls' but it felt great when I was done, trying to escape the half dozen SA-8's chasing me :lol: Big Thanks for this mission! I need to get better at the editor and try to come up with some of my own like this. I want to appeal to ED and the better Mission Editors out there to make more like this!. I'll post a track if anyone is interested. :thumbup: Chris
Snacko Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) Is Warthog Day for FC2? If so, please post a link? Edit: OOps, I see a single mission called Warthog day. Is that what you were talking about?

MBot Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 Glad you guys enjoy it :) For those that are not so familiar with the 9-line brief, here is a very good read: SimHQ's RAF Bentwaters Tactics Guide
Sinner6 Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Mbot, I am a big fan of your missions. Do I understand that some of the FC2 missions are made by you? If so, I would appreciate finding out what ones are yours. Please keep up the good work.
MBot Posted April 11, 2010 Posted April 11, 2010 Yep I did a couple of missions. These would be: Cold War Warrior campaign A-10A Warthog Day F-15C Justice F-15C Naval Games F-15C Baz MiG-29 Ground Controlled Intercept MiG-29C Abkhaz Fulcrums 1
