Gliptal Posted October 8, 2015 Posted October 8, 2015 Sorry if I seemed annoyed or anything, I was actually enjoying myself in the mission. :( Just trying to give some feedback. The missions are designed to be more difficult the further you go into the campaign. After 8 missions you should be able to handle the plane in more challenging conditions.Fair enough. The instructor messages are there for a reason so you must not be maintaining 8000' altitude. Check to make sure you have your QFE setting set correctly. The pattern altitude range is between 2300' and 2700' so again check your QFE setting to make sure it is set correctly.I'll try again with QFE altitudes, I assumed barometric MSL would be acceptable in a coastline airport like Batumi. The AI Wingman are game engine controlled but in these conditions think of him trying to assist you with the landing attempts. He does break off when close to landing so it shouldn't impede your ability to land properly.True, I just feel constraint with the AI so close in front of me. If you are bouncing your landings then you need more practice to make them smoother. Nobody would qual if they bounce their landings.By "bouncing" here I mean very fast (thents of a second?) bounce due to the transition from crab to sideslip during the flare. You tend to touch with one gear before the other and when straightening out it's really easy to loose contact with the tarmac for a moment. Once you make the inbound call to Batumi for the 2nd attempt you must fly to the heading ATC has given you. Once you enter the pattern you must maintain it until you get landing clearance. If you chase the glideslope too early you will fail as you didn't get clearance from ATC. Once you are cleared then the pattern altitude trigger is removed and you can make the approach and landing.Fair, the glideslope message confused me into thinking I was to already supposed to be following the glideslope. Deviating from the ATC or the FE instructions will in most cases cause the triggers to fire and a mission terminate message.Yes this is as expected, I was just providing as much info as possible to describe the situation.
Sabre-TLA Posted October 8, 2015 Author Posted October 8, 2015 only bug? O_o i just played TAC14 SEAD, on a 2nd minute of sortie, Chevy told me that he has being hit and then instructor said "good effect on target, clear to re-attack" :lol: Sorry we haven't gotten to that mission yet (we have 20+ missions ahead of it) :) But feel free to continue to post any 1.5 issues to this thread and we will address them when we get to that mission.

I won't say that all bugs have been identified and corrected so keep the feedback coming and I'll do my best to explain what is happening. We want our missions to be the most realistic and enjoyable that we can. It's a fine line to make something challenging but not cross the line where only a few players can actually pass it.

tintifaxl Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 In the very first mission "BFT01 Ground Handling" the instructor calls out randomly missed items at the startup check that I'm sure I did not miss like "DTS upload" (who could miss that one?), "Signal lights test", "UHF radio off" when actually it was on TR. This is with 1.5 beta. Not a big deal as I just use the mission to reaquaint myself with the cold start procedure.

Sabre-TLA Posted October 12, 2015 Author Posted October 12, 2015 Thanks for the feedback. We haven't tested it in 1.5 BETA yet but will soon. Have you tried holding the button press for a 1 second count. Sometimes if you are too quick the game engine won't register the press even though it appears it has. I don't think ED changed any of the trigger parameters for the A-10C but they might have. We will correct them if they have. MapleFlagMissions - Read Our Blog for Updates
regiregi22 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 I purchased the Basic FQT in March 2015, and I would like to update it now. What I see is that it isn't any longer an installation file, but a .miz one. How can I load it with the serial number on DCS? Hey there! I am using WhatsApp.

Zarma Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Just bought the 3 campaigns. On mission 1 (ground handling), I had to edit the file because the instructor stops before the final red zone, close to the plane. Also, twice, he passed throught the park and the moving fuel trucks. Still not passed yet. At the end, he tells me he is going to look at my procedure. Few MINUTES later, just tells me I am unqualified, without explaination. Checking the flags in the mission editor right now. Seems the Humwee doesn't stop in the mission end zone. Will try again after a break.

Zarma Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Next try was successfull. Definitevely a bug with the humvee at mission end. He was stopping out of the mission end trigger zone. i9 9900k, 64 Go RAM, RTX 4090, Warthog HOTAS Throttle & Stick, Virpil AH64 collective, TPR rudder, MFD Cougar, Trackir 5 Pro, Multipurpose UFC, Alain Dufour's TEDAC and Oculus Rift S (when I want some VR), http://www.twitch.tv/zarma4074 / https://www.youtube.com/user/Zarma4074
Zarma Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) In the second qualification mission (EFATO), I noticed that even when setting the QFE given at take-off, the altitude isn't the same as the one in external view. Maybe we shouldn't set our altimeter on 0 with QFE indication.

Zarma Posted October 16, 2015 Posted October 16, 2015 I checked the external altitude compared to the baro altitude with QFE set : 6000 ft = 5800 ft on the HUD 10000 ft = 9600 ft on the HUD 15000 ft = 14400 ft on the HUD As the scripting uses the real altitude, I understand why I get always a Q- qualification now. I know the difference comes from the temperature that impact on the barometric pressure. But can't the missions but scripted from the indicated altitude ? i9 9900k, 64 Go RAM, RTX 4090, Warthog HOTAS Throttle & Stick, Virpil AH64 collective, TPR rudder, MFD Cougar, Trackir 5 Pro, Multipurpose UFC, Alain Dufour's TEDAC and Oculus Rift S (when I want some VR), http://www.twitch.tv/zarma4074 / https://www.youtube.com/user/Zarma4074

I know the difference comes from the temperature that impact on the barometric pressure. But can't the missions but scripted from the indicated altitude ? That's a known bug in the game engine and we reported it here. You will only get the Q- rating if you hear an altitude, speed or warning message. If you fly to the stated altitude with QFE set correctly you should not get any altitude warning messages (at least we didn't in our testing - with the exception being the F-15 campaign stated in the reported thread above). The triggers are testing +- 200 feet for warning and +- 300 feet for terminate calls. If this is in 1.5 we may not have hit that test yet so post a screen shot with the altitude warning message displayed and your HUD so we can see if something has changed.

winz Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 You need to keep in mind that barometric altimeters are only 100% accured in ISA atmospehere. There will be deviation at higher altitudes. The Valley A-10C Version Revanche for FC 3
Zarma Posted October 17, 2015 Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) Yeah I know. In missions 6 and 7 from basic training, the wingman stays on the ground. Maybe he can't move because the plane in front of him is too close.

Gliptal Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 BFT12 just doesn't work with the AI. It's a good idea, but lead is just too freaking unpredictable to follow in formation, and I got a couple of "you were too late" while flying in formation too. He gains altitude for no reason with instant 20° pitch pulls, opens airbrakes fully and cuts power at random while I'm in formation (I'm not getting too close), is uncapable of making level turns, and is just plain annoying to fly with. I understand 100% the idea behind this and it would work well in Multiplayer, but flying in formation requires both parties to be aware of the fact and the AI is just plain annoying. My suggestion is too either take the AI away from the mission entirely or loosen the formation requirements so that I can actually fly the reasonable half a mile distance. Other than this, looking forward for AFT.
ESAc_matador Posted October 18, 2015 Posted October 18, 2015 I have a problem... tryied three times. When Iam doing this mission, I aways exit the allowed zone and they stop just before I start the diving spiral excercise. Am I doing sonething wrong?.... is it normal?

bzhnono Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 What is the changelog ? Is it easier to get the last to missions of the BFT (the leader is flying more like he should ?) I just needed these two missions for my basic qualification :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

bzhnono Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 The missions and campain have a different name so it does not continue :/ The rating is better (more detail) thanks for that. Last mission of Basic training is really hard because : The FE seems to not bother the timing for WP 5 and 15 ! and when out of formation 1 time it's impossible to make formation again (he has more speed than me and cant overspeed him...) That's really hard but will try again... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

bzhnono Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 I've made a copy of the mission and changed the name of that copy to match the old names. Seems to work. BTW : the installer only install in EN folder, I play in French so I need to copy files to the FR folder. Is there a way for you to update the installer to : - let us select the language - install the campain in all language ? Thanks Bruno [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
