Sabre-TLA Posted October 21, 2015 Author Posted October 21, 2015 Thanks for the feedback. It was a big time and people investment to get them to the state they are today and they continue to evolve as the game develops. The agenda is based on a real world agenda we found online. It seemed reasonable but is no substitute for actual training or even training with a multiplayer squad. We are developing a set of open-ended multiplayer missions that will mimic what these single player missions provide but allow for more freedom from the FE to choose what to do during the mission. Think of them like a framework with the FE driving the agenda and a controller watching the flight to call out any bad behavior (breaking the hard-deck for instance). The FE can work from a provided script or go off-script and do what they like all within the context of a training range with range controllers they can interact with (scripted), tankers, targets, etc. It's still a work in progress and will be released when ready and we certainly look forward to the NTTR map and will do the same thing there too.

bzhnono Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Great idea ! Thank you for providing us these missions ! I tried the first Advanced mission Day Aerial Refueling... It will be a bit of a challenge for me, never succeeded an AAR (in BMS, old Falcon4 or DCS) so it will be quite an achievement ! I think my brain is disturbed by the moving boom even if I try hard to focus on the plane... [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
tintifaxl Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Every major update seems to cause some issues with some of the missions. Hopefully we are getting to a point where further changes to the mission files and structure are reducing.

ALT326 Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 I have a question about the lazy 8 maneuver. If I watch your video on the blogspot I see that you start at about 240 degrees do a climb and compete a 360 degree turn while in the first part climbing and in the last part descending. Then you do it again with a left turn. My question is this. When looking at the documentation a lazy 8 is a climb then a turn (for this begin a left turn) and at 90 degrees in the turn you start descending and leveling out in the opposite direction on the same altitude as the start. Then you do a right turn while climbing and descending in the turn and you end at the same heading and altitude as when you started. Do I got it wrong?? Martin Maaskant

The diagram is correct, the video is wrong and needs to be updated. When we first created the Lazy 8 we misunderstood the description we found and thought it was a 360 degree turn. One of our users (a real military pilot) saw our error so we corrected it in the diagram and the mission but the video needs updating. We intend to update all the videos now that 1.5 is out so we can take advantage of the better Edge graphics. Another thing on our large to do list. Hopefully we will get to it soon.

Zarma Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Unqualified at first attempt. I joined the FE way to early and he flew at really low speed toward the first waypoint. After that the other DTOT were all messed up. The mission should have a double trigger to start : in formation AND a given time. 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
bzhnono Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Second attempt to AFT01 AAR by day... Get some fuel and then just touch the boom to much and the tanker splash in the ocean :O Damn :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Zarma Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 (edited) Second attempt on BFT12. Got first waypoint on time. After 2nd out of formation message from the FE, just after he hited the brakes to 120 knots then full speed, I decided not to return in formation. Even in front of the FE, I was late on the 2nd waypoint. Got the 3rd waypoint even I was almost 30 sec late and the FE was far behind.... Still got a Q- qualification so time to change my signature. But this mission is impossible to do in formation at this time. Need a full redesign.

Zarma Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Or maybe some combat campaign of the same quality ? 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
bzhnono Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 Ok, Third attempt for AFT01 : I did 20 refuel for 7 to 9 second, 2 for 11 to 15 sec as required, and a last one of 30 sec during the turn after WP7 (so too late). I think I will pass it next time, I really have a problem getting my altitude steady when near the tanker, don't know why, will do the entire flight manually to get that correct :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Gliptal Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 (edited) I bought the Advanced Aircraft Training campaign a few hours ago, should I send an email asking for the key or is it automatic? I've already sent one for the first campaign. EDIT: Nevermind, received the mail as I was writing this post. :thumbup: Edited October 23, 2015 by Gliptal
Gliptal Posted October 23, 2015 Posted October 23, 2015 On the non 1.5 beta release, I get this when attempting to start the campaign: The single missions are fine though.
