rockyalexander Posted June 5, 2011 Posted June 5, 2011 What's the deal? The option won't come up in the advanced tasking list. It works for other countries but not for US..?
rockyalexander Posted June 5, 2011 Author Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) Actually it just doesn't work for any country in the red coalition..? I had USA in red for testing purposes. It works fine for blue countries. Still though... I suppose if one elects to fly for the red coalition they'll have to do so without ground FAC? Edited June 5, 2011 by rockyalexander
Gonzo01 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 Not sure I understand your problem, but my FAC is in the Blue coalition I am still have problem not receiving data in the TAD and not being able to desiginate Static objects.
mia389 Posted June 10, 2011 Posted June 10, 2011 (edited) I use ground units as FAC in both of Operation Saturn and Pluto. Open them up and take a look. Worked fine for me. Both are available in the missions section. Never tried the Red coaltion. Also I dont think fac works on static objects. Edited June 10, 2011 by mia389
rockyalexander Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 Ground FAC works fine, it's just that the task isn't available for red units. It was prior to the patch. It isn't a problem unless you elect to fly for the red coalition for whatever reason.
Nate--IRL-- Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 Unit performing FAC/JTAC must be ELPRS capable. View the units "Advanced waypoints" to know if they are capable or not. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading
rockyalexander Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 I understand, Nate. The issue I'm reporting is that ground units in the Red Coalition are unable to perform FAC. The tasking option isn't even available regardless of whether it's a Bradley, Hummer, or BMP. Again, it isn't a problem as long as I fly blue, but prior to the patch FAC worked for BOTH blue and red.
Nate--IRL-- Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Ah I see. The red coalition can't perform FAC duties - it is stupid and I argued against it but to no avail. Sorry. Nate Ka-50 AutoPilot/stabilisation system description and operation by IvanK- Essential Reading

Nate wow, just wow, thanks for the heads up.. now that is an odd discussion.
