GunnDawg Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Hey folks just wondering if anyone has attempted either of the two campaigns available. I have not tried them my self as I have mostly been designing dummy missions to simulate different scenarios, which aid in practicing different weapon systems and procedures. Once I feel I am up to snuff on my skill I will probably try the campaign. So just wondering what peoples thoughts were on the campaigns and if they are any fun. Are they dynamic or just a bunch of missions?
Soulreciever Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 I started one of them, but at Mission 2 comes a know bug up which kicks you out of the mission.
GunnDawg Posted October 19, 2010 Author Posted October 19, 2010 Ah ok. So not worth diving into quite yet ?
Soulreciever Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Well, try it on. The first Mission is quite nice. You have to drop a bridge and after that you can call a JTAC for Targetdesignation. But when i remember correctly the second JTAC is buggy, at least crashed my game as i called him, first one was fine. Did that Mission several times.
GunnDawg Posted October 19, 2010 Author Posted October 19, 2010 I am not even sure how to use JTAC yet, heh. Guess I better not try it.
GunnDawg Posted October 19, 2010 Author Posted October 19, 2010 Speaking of which. Is there any tutorials for how to use the radios and execute a JTAC operation step by step?
Soulreciever Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 I learned it while in-mission :D Just set the radio to the JTAC-frequency and call him. After a little Chitchat you get two new buttons on your left MFD, one red to cancel the new task and a green one to accept it. After that a red triangle comes up at the left MFD´s map. Hook it with the cursor, it now is visible at your HUD and you can engange. Easy :pilotfly:
GunnDawg Posted October 19, 2010 Author Posted October 19, 2010 What do you mean "hook it" and also what is the keyboard key to bring up the radio to send a transmission to JTAC
Soulreciever Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 To hook something you have to make the left MFD (that with the map) you SOI, now you can slew the cursor in it around. Match the cursor with the red triangle and (i think) TMS FWD short. Now you have a new HUD symbol that leads you to your hooked symbol. But i refer to the manual at this point, it´s well described. Radio-key is #, but i use a european keyboard. The one left of the Enter-Key ;) Then comes up a list with several options you can call, use them with the F-keys.
nomdeplume Posted October 19, 2010 Posted October 19, 2010 Radio-key is #, but i use a european keyboard. The one left of the Enter-Key ;) \ (backslash) on US-keyboards. Also, the HOTAS MIC Switch controls allow you to access particular radios. The exact menus you get will depend on which radio button you use; the \ or # key seems to give you all the options, but I'm not 100% sure. If you're not on the right frequency then the options can either be missing or greyed out. This is particularly noticeable on the ATC menus, which very conveniently list the right frequency for each of the ATCs, with the one you're tuned to highlighted. I'm not convinced this is working 100% consistently yet though, but it's generally a good guide for the basics (i.e. is the radio on and tuned properly).
