theghost Posted August 6, 2011 Posted August 6, 2011 HI, I have two questions, 1. Is there a way after that JTAC gave his report to go anywhere and report out on a new target? 2.I tried to set a bomber to bomb At one point ,And I can not achieve this, I do not understand why, someone could have set the plane to make a massive bomb on a point?

nomdeplume Posted August 7, 2011 Posted August 7, 2011 1. Is there a way after that JTAC gave his report to go anywhere and report out on a new target? Not quite sure what you're asking... if you want the JTAC to just provide additional targets after the first, you should be able to just add additional FAC tasks, and they'll be run in sequence. If you want the JTAC to actually relocate after the target has been engaged, then you'd probably need to use the HOLD task with a flag as a stop condition. You can then use a trigger to set that flag at the appropriate time, most likely on a GROUP DEAD condition. The JTAC group will then proceed to its next waypoint, and you can set up additional FAC taskings there. 2.I tried to set a bomber to bomb At one point ,And I can not achieve this, I do not understand why, someone could have set the plane to make a massive bomb on a point? It's fairly simple, just add a 'Bombing' task to a waypoint for an AI flight, drag the position to where you want the bombs dropped, and set the options appropriately. If the flight doesn't have the appropriate weapons to carry out the task, it will simply skip the task and carry on. For example, if you give a flight only precision-guided weapons and then add a bombing task set to use iron bombs, it'll ignore it. The AI flights won't always compensate correctly for wind, so if you find they miss your targeted point, just offset the target point by the amount they missed by. Might take a bit of trial and error, but they generally miss in a consistent manner so you can compensate for it. Try setting up a new misson with an AI flight already airborne and give it a bombing task. If you can't get it to work, post the mission file here and we can help you understand how to get it to work.
