Newb needs help with SEAD escorts....

[Mandrake5]

Hi everybody,

 

I am learning this sim and having a blast, but every time I fly a mission which includes a SEAD escort package, the SEAD flight never does anything! Usually it is F18s/16s or Tornados armed with HARM/ALARM, but they just fly around for a while then RTB with all their missiles slung....

 

Meanwhile chief idiot here flies confidently into the target area and gets immediately bullyrammed by SA11/8/19/15.... :helpsmilie:

 

Am I missing something, is there a radio command to order SEAD element to attack their targets? Could it just be a bug/design flaw in these missions?

 

Thanks!

Mandrake

Radio menu,F10 (Other). Pick the right flight. It may have SEAD written or it may only have callsigns in which case look in the briefing for what is what. Also, Welcome to the fourms.

Are you flying the Devil's Cross campaign?

 

That one was ripped from the latest patch, or was it the one before?

 

Anyway, it can be massaged a bit in the editor to be made a bit better, but is

still a bit of a bear.

 

The other one ripped, The Shore, is just hard broken...

Thanks - will give that a try.

just remember, once you use the f-10 radio option that it can sometimes take a bit (couple min's) for said SEAD flight to get there. find a comfy spot out of range of AD and circle or whatever.

Don't forget there's still an issue with EWR/search radars not working correctly in 1110. So SEAD flights will probably ignore most SAM sites, until the hotfix (if that's included in the hotfix, that is)

I see this is fixed in 1.1.1.1 - but thanks very much for your responses guys.
