Devil's Cross 01A - from start to finish

[zamboni]

Devil's Cross 04A

 

 

In this mission the advancing Russian troops have some room to maneuver. You job is to provide some CAS support of the 1-5 CAVs orderly retreat to safer climes. Again I load up with 4 Mavs + 4 CBU-97s and a little extra fuel.

 

The first thing you need to take care of is to watch yourself when taking off. After the F-15s take off, there will be a flight of A-10s that are preparing to land. The guy in the tower is not the brightest bulb and WILL give you clearance to takeoff AND give them clearance to land. The previous time I tried this mission I was able to take off, I heard #2 say he was rolling and he never took off. That was because while he was on his takeoff roll, the other flight of A-10s landed in front of him and somehow their wings ended up being interlocked on the runway. They didn't blow up or anything....shoulda got a screenshot :)

 

If you cant get in the air right after the F-15s, it may be better for the A-10s to land so you can make sure the rest of your flight can get into the air safely.

 

When you get near the CP, be careful of your position. There are a bunch of MANPADS around and a variety of rolling SAMs to cause you grief if you get too far West. I've always had problems with situational awareness in this mission so just make sure you don't get lost!

 

Because the advancing troops have a bit more room to maneuver in this mission, they will try to flank your troops during the retreat. Attack runs on the assigned target may bring you over top of flanking tanks and other armor...make sure you are high enough that you don't take some AAA damage.

 

After JTAC give me the first target I tell wingman to engage air defenses and second element to go after armor. (forgot to broadcast my SPI to them though :/). JTAC aborts and then I try to recall them mid attack. When JTAC gives me the third target, a ridge blocks my TGP view, needed to be a bit more north to be able to see them, send in the rest of the flight to take care of them instead. JTAC aborts on the 4th target right when I was going to take out some armor with a CBU...a SA-8 was lighting me up at the time so it may have been a good thing I broke off. He may have fired if I continued.

 

After I broke that off, I decided to see if I could locate that SAM site and take him out. I make a mark in the direction I got the rwr warning, and was going to go south and see if I could get him to light me up again so I could triangulate....but I never got the spike. It turns out from the looking at TACVIEW, that Chevy flight took it out. When I couldnt find the SAM, I tried to use the radio call from Chevy to locate the SAMs they were calling out, but found some artillery and decided to take them out with mavs. At this time, some MiGs were showing up on the RWR, so it was time to get out of dodge and head home.

 

Notes:

I ended up getting a 64% mission score for this mission. It is virtually impossible to get a 100% on this mission. Looking at the mission in the editor and seeing the scoring for this mission. You get 50 for taking off, and 3 points each for 12 tankers and 4 HQ vehicles making it to a safe retreat zone and 2 pts for landing. Artillery will take a big chunk out of the tankers and the advancing tanks will also take out several more....this is even before you will reach the battle area. For my mission, 4 tankers were able to make it to safety.

 

I also noticed at least one and maybe two goofs in the mission. #1 goof is that the trigger zone for the safe retreat of the vehicles is too small. You are supposed to get points if they reach the trigger zone. Problem is the vehicles will continue through the trigger zone and exit out of it. If they exit the trigger zone, the points you get will come off the board. I modified the zone size and placement so it had the same zone point, and contained the entire rest of the retreat route so the points don't come off of the board.

 

The second goof in the mission has to do with the JTAC target assignment. There are four armor assault groups that advance on your troops. It is only scripted that JTAC can assign three of them. The fourth group is one that will attempt to flank your troops and will be allowed to advance without being called as a target. In this mission I had added a new FAC assignment for that fourth group (that was the group I was about to hit with the CBUs before they were killed off by someone else).

 

Hopefully tomorrow night or Friday at the least I will try to get the final mission done and posted. Hopefully the new patch will be available for the weekend :)

[Zenra]

Zamboni,

 

Thanks for two more great installments!

 

Any chance you could post your edited version of mission 4? The changes you describe sound like good ones. I've only played with the editor a bit and don't yet trust myself to mess with the campaign missions :/

[zamboni]

Here are the missions, 4A and 4B that I edited to add the FAC target to JTAC and changed the size of the trigger zone.

 

I have a feeling that it isn't going to be fixed in the upcoming patch because I don't think this had been reported before. Back up your old files first and then drop them in the campaign folder and you should be all set.

I went back for a refuel and rearm during Devil's Cross. There was an F15 blocking the path for 4 Tornado's right at the intersection near where you start, the entire airfield was locked down completely as the F15 was facing the Tornado's and refusing to move. I managed to taxi around them over the grass but my wingman got stuck in the line. When I realized that the entire map was void of anything other than enemy forces and the AWACS I made a pass over the airfield. They were all there. One F15, 4 Tornado's and three A10's. I couldn't get the screenshots to work but I've got the track file.

Sorry, that's Tornado not Inferno

[fael097]

waiting on vids for the last campaign. I skipped second campaign cuz it wasnt fun for me.

the last one though is a bitch, takes ages to reach the target (srsly, 30 minutes or so just to get there), and when you get there, if you dont know what to do, the chopper will get killed and you'll have to restart lol.

[Xxx]

Hey Zamboni, really enjoying the films! I am at 3a and find they run differently due to the randome effects of course and the way we fly them as individuals.

 

I was laughing out loud at your opinion of the ATC:megalol:

 

"The guy in the tower is not the brightest bulb and WILL give you clearance to takeoff AND give them clearance to land."

 

Something for a future patch maybe?

 

The sit awareness, I agree with you, I use the compass far more and include it as part of the instrument scan, so I know where I am ( most of the time:music_whistling:)

 

Keep em commin' and by the weekend I may be at mission 5 myself!

 

I was just remembering the F16 (Falcon) and thought how in 30 seconds, post attack run, you would be 5 miles away! In the Hog you are still in the danger zone. Remembering the WW2 Thunderbolts and the Typhoons who were at 400 knots, faster than we are in the Hog! Those guys really earn my respect. They had no TAD, just the Mk1 eyeball and nerves of steel.

 

Well done again on your film making and it sure is interesting to see how someone else does it:thumbup:

[baton_bb]

Unbelievable work. You did a hard work for all training and rookie pilots. Great stuff!!

 

Thanks! Best regards for All!!

Thanks for doing this :) It will definitely help out both rookies like myself and more experienced pilots also.

Here are the missions, 4A and 4B that I edited to add the FAC target to JTAC and changed the size of the trigger zone.

 

I have a feeling that it isn't going to be fixed in the upcoming patch because I don't think this had been reported before. Back up your old files first and then drop them in the campaign folder and you should be all set.

 

I completed your edited mission and achieved 64% too!:thumbup:

 

I was bounced by a Mig 29, who got a lock, but to my surprise I managed to escape ( down to the deck 350 kias and collected some tree cuttings for my garden;) ) Thanks to my Falcon 4 days it was the instinctive thing to do. I may mod this mission myself and increase the Mig cover. I dont think the Mig even got a missile off!

 

There is a temptation, once you have the all clear from JTAC, to get cocky and go looking for more targets, especially air targets. I hate RTB with ordinance unused, even if it is the 'winders. Maybe thats just me? Anyway cool modded mission and hope you managed 5.

 

Cheers.:)

[Frostiken]

It's worth mentioning that 5A / 5B has some very irritating bugs and design.

 

- JTAC doesn't ever report anything, just says 'Thanks! See ya!'.

- Russians are terrible strategists - much like Devil's Cross 3, almost every enemy unit gets torn to bits as they drive single-file through a chokepoint. There's really not a lot of necessity for CAS.

- At least when I played, winds were so terrible it was almost impossible to takeoff and, well, this is what happened when I landed: http://i.imgur.com/jjMMb.png. Watching the smoke from debris it was blowing almost totally flat along the ground, and ATC had the balls to report only 2 meters per second.

- There are triggers that spawn SA-18 MANPADs when enemies reach a certain point (which is sort of neat, it's as if a BMP parks and they disembark). This has the unfortunate consequence of seeing that an approach is completely clear, and as happened to me, an SA-18 unit pops out of thin air and shoots you down.

- It appears it also has a bad 'goal' trigger zone, as according to the mission objectives you win by not having enemies in the Tiblisi trigger zone. Unfortunately the zone is rather small and the MRRs are all given waypoints far, far behind it. I just made it bigger and repositioned it (not that it mattered).

- SEAD is absolutely useless. The Tornados, by default, simply fly to Tiblisi and turn back and land. I spent the entire mission being haunted by active SA-11 and SA-8 systems that shot down all of the CAP flights, which meant MiGs were now everywhere. I gave the Tornados some more waypoints and they successfully neutralized the worst of the air defenses.

 

Ultimately, for the last Devil's Cross mission, rather disappointing. Smerch's shelling the airfield was pretty neat. American force defensive position is so overwhelmingly superior that a few tanks make mincemeat of the Russian offensive, and any surviving units just mill around and get stuck.

[zamboni]

I flew and recorded the 5th mission in the campaign and I came here to post some things abut the mission and it seems that Frostiken has posted some of the same things I was going to :).

 

1) Yup JTAC is broke. I had never gotten JTAC to give me a target in flying this mission. Opened it up in the ME and figured out what is wrong. The mission designer for some reason assigned the first two targets to be targets that never spawn in the mission. JTAC gets stuck because it is waiting for these targets to show up, and never moves on to targets that are already there.

 

I edited the mission files and got rid of these two nonexistant targets, I have attached them below. THIS IS THE ONLY THING I CHANGED IN THIS MISSION! Make sure to back up the missions before you drop them into your campaign folder.

 

2) Yup like one of the earlier missions, Blue has great defensive positions and chew up the russians as they go straight for the checkpoint. Russians need someone to come in and help clear the way for the charging troops! Their artillery and rockets are able to take some of the blue tanks out, but not enough to avoid a massacre.

 

3) I think the winds are kinda fun, I was scratching my head with the tower saying 2m/s when I was about to land with me pushing about 3/4 rudder to keep the plane pointed down the runway!

 

4) Go high or go home (in a box) :). I don't think I have had a problem with the manpads, mainly because I am usually around 10K in this mission, and I learned with all of the SAMs painting me that It is best to stay within the limits of the Blue defensive line. A Mav on the BMP will take the BMP out and usually will also take out the manpads with the resulting blast.

 

5) Not sure about the trigger zone, mainly because the NME never reaches it :)

 

6) That one SEAD flight is only set to land, so I just play this mission as if there was no SEAD and you are all alone. There is an Apache that will spawn, attack and then get shot down by all the SAMS, I use them as a SAM sink while I am attacking. I cant say I have ever had a problem with the MiGs.

 

I've got all of the vids for this mission, (I flew it without the JTAC working). Hopefully I will get it all together and have it posted sometime later today.

dc05.zip

[Frostiken]

The lack of SEAD to me makes the mission a little bizarre though, as this means that the Ruskies can maintain air dominance in a large section of the battlefield yet the mission isn't designed as if they know that. Since the SA-11 and SA-8s make quick work of hapless F-15Cs, rather than fly MiGs over the mountain straight into Patriot fire, why not have them intercept over the SA-11s and then engage these stupid A-10s blowing everything up?

 

PS: I was maintaining high altitude at first but that didn't work when I got caught by an SA-11... so I started to use the mountain range as radar cover. Was working until an SA-18 popped into existence underneath me.

2)How about some Russian CAS in the shape of a flight of SU25's. The Russians look to have air superiority so.....

 

3)I think its a move over to non-dynamic weather?

 

6) added a flight of F16 SEAD's!

 

Looking forward to seeing your film. I will mod my mission 5 and see if it evens up the tables.

 

BTW, I have "edited" the Rescue Pilot mission. I put a flight of Black Sharks on CAS to overfly the LZ, zone triggered and timed so that unless you get a hurry on they will arive just as Sandy does! Also made the Paratroops advance on the poor guy from two directions. (Zone controlled) Beefed up the APC advance and the T72's, guess they really want the pilot!:music_whistling: Finally I added an extra CAP (F-18's and an "escort" flight of AH-64's to help Sandy)(they need it now!). These flights are all controlled by the player, via radio calls. The flights will orbit and only advance when you call them in. I thought this would add a bit more of a feeling that you (player) are running the show! Also that if you dont fly well, your downed pilot, the sandy's and even the player will find it difficult to survive!:smilewink: ( Black Sharks firing Vikhrs at Hogs......?)

 

If anyone wants a look I'll attach it.

well....after watching that vid my first reaction is to go have a stiff drink and rue the fact I spent time & money on this sim. I'll never get that far!

How long did it take you to learn the starting, navigating, arming portion of this? Second reaction is, how in the world is your TIR so stable? I can barely look down, let alone look down then manipulate switches/knobs, and finally, your flight is so smooth! In any action I'm all over the place with my hog; level flight is almost impossible to maintain. I'm inclined to drink myself to sleep tonight :|

[Pyroflash]

1. Practice/read the manual.

 

2. Fiddle around with the sensitivity & smoothing on your TIR(TBH, I feel your pain though, I can never get my TIR to be as stable as the videos of these guys on there, mine has a tendency to wobble a bit. It's not bad, I can still manipulate the controls with relative ease, but it could be better).

 

3. Never forget to constantly trim your aircraft, especially after you release a weapon.

[Shez]

Great Vids! I just tried this campain the other day. Holy fratricide batman on my part! Must remember that if the tank is facing away from you toward the FLOT then it's probably a good guy! :(

 

I got to Devil's Cross 4A and my poor computer wouldn't run it. Marginal on the first 3 but this mission just put her down. Hopefully a OS re-install has helped a bit...it's been a few years.

I know it may look a bit daunting to jump into a campaign mission and try to complete it, but I think the easiest way to do things is to learn things piece by piece. One little thing at a time and get those little things down pat and then link those things together. Each time you do some of the practice things become easier. Read through the manual, do the training missions, and then supplement them by making some of your own simple missions in the mission editor to help repeat some of the stuff shown in the training missions.

 

Don't try too much stuff at once, you can easily get frustrated that way :).

 

Make sure to get your joystick, trackir, throttle, rudders set up to your liking because if you aren't comfortable flying/looking around, it only complicates things. If you have programmable buttons, settle on a profile and stick with it. It can be tough to fire off a Mav if you cant remember which button or hat switch to use in locking it up or firing it off :). Play with the sensitivity for your joystick axes. I am sure most ppl here use some sort of axis curves to help keep things under control without stalling the plane. You'll have to experiment to find out which values work the best for yourself.

 

As for the my TrackIR use, I spend a while tweaking my profile to get something that I liked and was smooth. The main thing I did was to set my resolution a bit lower than my monitor max and go with the windowed mode. This way I could switch from the Sim and the TrackIR program to tweak a bit here and there to get things down.

 

I have an old TrackIR 3 Pro and I have the track hat clip + Vector expansion. The biggest things for me is to have a kinda deadzone in the middle so any small movements of my head doesn't get things off whack that much. For settings, I am sure they will all vary with how far away from the camera you sit, but I use a speed of 1 and a smoothness of 50 (the lower resolution of the TIR3 I had to push the smoothness a bit).

 

I've attached a .jpg of my settings, they may look a little weird, but they work for me :). My pitch setting may look a bit weird, but I always had some trouble looking up so I had to set some of those settings high, and went way down with the settings for looking down because I got tired of looking at my seat all the time. That doesnt help out all of the time because in my videos you do get a bunch of shots of my seat when I usually look down to use some of keys on my keyboard.

 

One last thing. Keep your head still! I remember when I first got my TIR for use in IL-2. I would move my head into turns, the deadzones I have set helps on that regard though :)

Well here it be:-

For what its worth, I developed the original CSAR in a way that gives you total command of the mission, including control over 2 CAP's, 2 SEAD's the Sandy and the Sandy escort ( a pair of Ah-64's). This is done via radio link to the package. If you think thats overkill, well the enemy mean business!

 

Hope Zamboni publishes his last Devils Cross. I flew it and won:( Despite flying like a total Turkey (like an oven ready one) and getting shot down in the last mission AND loosing all my wingmen (does it get any worse:doh:) I still won the campain. So I am attempting to mod it a La the Rescue mission I just posted. If I fly like a fool, I want to loose!

Hope Zamboni publishes his last Devils Cross. I flew it and won:( Despite flying like a total Turkey (like an oven ready one) and getting shot down in the last mission AND loosing all my wingmen (does it get any worse:doh:) I still won the campain.

 

Sorry for the delay in this thread. I had actually put the video up on my YT page, but didn't post here because I wanted to add some comments here and didn't have the time to sit through and do it...but here it goes!

 

 

When does an apparent sign of strength become unmasked as a sign of desperation or a Hail Mary pass? When you push all of your remaining assets towards a choke-point with a formidable opposing force in a vastly superior defensive position. Yes, the Russian forces are protected from above by tons of SA-8 and SA-11 units, but what good are they when your units are going to be torn up by the enemy defensive positions? If the tanks don't get ya those pesky A-10s can pick you off with their Mavs while firing just outside of SAM range.

 

If you can hold off this attack the Russians will have to go home with their tails between their legs (or in a pine box). The Russian assault will come from two directions, but they have to funnel through a well defended choke-point. You are tasked to help take out the advancing troops, but because of a scheduling quirk or ineffective SEAD, the Russians have some SA-8s West of the chokepoint and SA-11 and SA-8 to the North. There are expected to be some MANPADS closer to the chokepoint as the enemy columns advance.

 

IF YOU WANDER TOO FAR and go past the chokepoint....make sure you have a functional jammer and plenty of countermeasures!

 

I'll skip the startup and takeoff stuff, that should all be kinda standard by now....just want to point out something that I do after takeoff. I level off at around 3K and 200knots and start a slow left turn. I do this to allow the rest of the flight to takeoff and rejoin before heading towards fence, and the control point. Also, again in this mission I loaded out a bit more fuel, 4 Mav-Ds and 4 CBU-97s for the flight.

 

After the flight joins, I power up the TGP, Mavs, and arm weapons, CM to semi-auto. The CP and IP are pretty close to the airport so get them ready as soon as you can. Because of the SAM and MANPAD threats, it is best to get some altitude before getting near the IP. I originally level out at 10K, but 15K may be a bit better.

 

When I get to the CP and try to contact JTAC, they have no targets for me. This is actually a "bug" in the mission. JTAC is set to assign a target that never spawns, and it just tells you there is no targets and you can go home. DON'T. The troops are still there and are easy to find. Just slew your TGP over the IP and look for the smoke. By the time you get to the CP, some of the troops get into range of the defending tanks and start to get slaughtered. Just go ahead and choose your own targets to take out.

 

I first slew to the advancing columns and tell second flight to take out air defenses. Hopefully they will fire their Mavs off far enough out they won't wander into SAM range...but you never know with their AI! After they start to go in, I decide to go in and plink some tanks with my CBUs at high altitude. I climb to 12K and drop one CBU in CCRP mode. Some of the SA-8's light me up but dont fire. You are just at their edge of their range, so if they fire on you you can probably just turn tail and out run of the SAMs. Make sure to either egress to the south or SE....do not wander too far north or West!

 

I then send in #2 to take out armor with Mavs. After he shoots his wad, I spot a couple of groups of tanks in the ditch and go back in with CBUs. Ripple 2, 150ft apart in CCRP mode. On my run in #2 gets taken out by a SAM...oh well. On egress I tell second flight to take out armor with any Mavs they have left.....It is going to be a suicide mission if I send them in to take out armor with CBUs. Before #4 could engage, I pull them back out and decide to find some stragglers to take out with my Mavs.

 

I find one tank inbetween the smoke, but I turn back when I get painted by SAMS. I then tell second element to go back in to engage again. #3 takes out a couple of tanks and I maneuver and find some targets at a different angle and take them out with two mavs. I then search and find a BMP-1 with some MANPADS around them and take them out. I search around a little more and find another BMP-1 and take it out with my last Mav.

 

After that, I spend some time taking a look around the area to see if there are any last armor in the area...then I play a little bit with the SAMs :). I check the mission status and I see I have a 99% and then head home.

 

To get 100% in this mission you need to keep the armor away from the chokepoint (around the limit of your tank's defensive position). You get 50% for taking off, 25% for keeping them away for 40 minutes, and another 24 for keeping them away for 50 min. Another 1 for landing back at base :).

 

The wind was kicking it on landing....although ATC said wind was like 4m/s it was probably a bit higher...I was hitting the rudder pretty hard to keep the flight path indicator on the runway...The landing sucked and I kinda slammed the front gear down on the tarmac, but I didn't completely kill the tires :).

 

I finish the mission, I am credited with 13 kills, but it didn't give mthe kills of the MANPADS I took out along with the BMP-1s though.

 

 

YAY! Campaign Success! ended up with an 81 mission success rate and credited with 66 kills in the 5 missions.

 

Whelp, that is it for the Devil's Cross campaign. I hope you all enjoyed the videos. I just wanted to show ya all how I ended up flying the missions. If I was going to fly them, why not record them right? All it took was some hard drive space for the videos and some minimal video editing. They weren't supposed to be videos to show how to fly the missions "by the book" but more along the lines of a regular Joe and how he thought he should fly them, hopefully getting something right along the way and surviving the flight :)

 

I'll probably do some more on the other campaigns, but I am going to at least wait till the patch is out to see how things go with the AI and other things before I do some vids.

[Zenra]

Zamboni: Thanks again for producing the videos and posting your experiences. This is great entertainment for people like me who have to spend days or weeks away from the sim due to work travelmor whatever, and it is always good to see how others approach these missions. Will look forward to any new mission / campaign replays you care to post in the future as well.

 

Accipiter: Thanks for posting your CSAR mission; I will definitely be checking it out as soon as I get back home!

Excellent and an inspirational video!

 

Have a go at my "rescue" missions;) Perhaps even film it and see if the pilot can be rescued! I have added a second version, more difficult, with NATO packages and you are commanding the whole show, using radio calls to bring in the packages as you deem fit.

 

In the second "NATO" version, you are in a 4 ship A10 flight, as overall mission commander of course:)

 

I dont underestimate the video process. Your compression down from 50 to 2 Gb is impressive.

 

I have a couple of Black Shark videos on You Tube. I attempted to do a Speilberg :lol:, and introduce some video editing that shows some external "action". These Sims are so well written, if you have the skill and the time, (and can fly well!) I think some good "cinematic" results could be achieved.

 

I am thinking of composing a Black Shark mission that emulates the Rescue Mission, but from the enemy side of course! Perhaps getting round to filming a version of both.

 

Anyway, here is a link to my efforts;-
