Cannot designate or contact JTAC

[EventHorizon]

Hey... Can someone take pity on me and explain how when in mission editor to designate a JTAC ? The aircraft that I get enemy target coordinates from ?

 

Also.. is it possible to designate vehicles as JTAC ? For example... Bradleys ride out several miles in advance of a formation and I contact them for any found positions ?

Assign a FAC task to first waypoint or to the one when you want the JTAC to activate in advanced actions dialog. From command category you can find tasks to assign radio frequency, callsign, etc. This works for both aircraft and ground vehicles.

Oh man, there are some really good materials out there on how to do this -- both for Ground FAC and for Air FAC. Let me search a bit and see what I can find.

 

EDIT: Check the WIKI

 

good write up here for placing ground units as JTACs.

EDIT: Check the GUI Manual

 

There is a section on setting up Air FAC units. Go to the section titled "Advanced Actions Menu (aircraft groups) and scroll down until you see FAC - Assign Groups. This should get you started.
