New Training Tutorials - JTAC

[Rocky49]

I posted a question about getting a Tutorial about the whole subject of JTAC on the Training Missions Thread but got no response so I am asking here. Is there ever going to be more ingame Training Tutorials? I have read the manual on JTAC, TAD setups, hooking etc and I just don't get it. I have been an avid flight simmer since the 1980 going back to the Comadore 64 so I have followed the development of flight sim complexity. Up until now I have always found resources within the structure of the game to figure out how everything works but this sim has so many sub-structures that just are not well explained in the manual...In fact the manual makes too many assumptions about the readers understanding. The JTAC proceedure is not set out in a step by step manner anywhere that I can find within the Manual and I think that there should be a Tutorial produced by ED explaining the step by step process. I have searched the ED forums and not found a comprehensive explaination of how to sucessfully use JTAC. I have also searched Youtube for video. I have found some useful info but not enough for me to master this subject. Any resource help would be appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance

I also found zAmbOni's Devil's Cross campain missions very helpful, he has 5 posted so far. All of these videos are over an hour long of unedited raw video, I linked one below, im sure you can find the rest if you like them.

I have the Dragon training missions installed but have not had sucess with them. His videos do not really show you step by step. I have not seen the video from Zamboni....Will have a look. Thanks for your response.

Hey Rocky49, I initially did not understand JTAC procedures, but figured it out. At first it seems more complex than it really is. The manual is actually pretty clear on the flow of events and the built-in radio comms sequence pretty much does the leg work for you. Maybe try posting some specific questions about what you do not grasp?
