Eight Ball Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 (edited) I was wondering, does anyone completed the campaign ? I'm stuck on the "Escort OCA strikes on Nalchik" mission (FC3-F15C-05) The monkeys flying the F-16s aren't doing their SEAD job, they only fire their mavericks and then fly back to base with their HARMs still hanging on their wings. Then of course the F-15Es who are supposed to bomb the runway get shot down by the many SAMs remaining and...well that's it. I did the mission 10 times and 10 times I had the same outcome... I tried to shoot those cowards down, felt good but didn't solve the problem :( Edited November 21, 2012 by Eight Ball Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheppard Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Hello ! I have do "Close formation", but the other aircraft is yet away. How to have a sight patrol ? Thanks ! Sheppard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eight Ball Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 No, your wingman won't come any closer. Check what Azrayen suggested there is a new advanced task in DCS : "follow". Create your first group, make its flight plan. Then create your second group, no need for flight plan, just set it to follow the first group. Easy & options available = good IMO ++ Az' Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheppard Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Hello ! Why this is no longer possible ? In LOMAC it was possible... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neroroxxx Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 There should be a closer formation option, like an "Air Show Formation" where wingmen are closer to the player, it's just much better to be able to see all three wingmen closer than the way it is right now... 1 Nero 27" iMac, 3.4GHz i7 Quad Core, 16GB Ram, AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2Gb, Running Bootcamp, Windows 7 Home 64bit, Saitek X-52 Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MegOhm_SD Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 1. Will the FC3 F15 eventually have a clickable cockpit? 2. I am probably wrong but...The Contols template for the F15 seems to be for a Russian Jet, can we redo specifically for the F15 so we can have features like Toe-Brakes in the Axis?

Azrayen Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 1. IIRC Wags said no : this is a DCS feature. 2. None of FC3 aircrafts have toe-brakes axis in the sim. OTOH, IRL, all do. This is not an F-15/Russian thing, merely a FC3 limitation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheppard Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hello ! About tight formation, why remove this possibility ? In LOMAC, it was possible. Why to delete this tight formation in FC3 ? It's really a negative point... There will be tight formation in the final FC3 ? Thanks ! Sheppard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuky Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Anyone figured this out yet?! get a tripple screen setup and it'll stop doing it :D No longer active in DCS... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheppard Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 if you wanna do more or less the same as the old sub-group mechanism that existed in LOMAC, their is a new advanced task in DCS : "follow". Create your first group, make its flight plan. Then create your second group, no need for flight plan, just set it to follow the first group.

Eight Ball Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 (edited) Like Azrayen said : 1. Create a group 2. Make its flight plan 3. Create a second group 4. Click the Advanced (waypoint action) = 1 Click Add = 2 Select Follow = 3 Right click on the group you want to be followed = 4 Set the position of the following aircraft = 5 Choose if you want the aircraft to stop following when the first group reach a waypoint = 6 Edited November 22, 2012 by Eight Ball Find The Links To All My Mods And Liveries Here (in the gallery) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exorcet Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Hello ! About tight formation, why remove this possibility ? To avoid planes crashing into each other when maneuvering. In combat, there is no reason to fly wingtip to wingtip. Everyone will just be in everyone else's way. This is an improvement over LOMAC unless you're doing something like an airshow.

allygash Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Couple of qu's please guys Hi Guys, How do i get the flight plan and waypoints on the f10 map? I find navigating around diff without the map. Does anyone else find the ground objects & planes quite small in this game? I've been up in lots of planes and find the planes & ground objects easy to track n view. Also in games like ROF and the IL2 series the planes n ground objects r much easier to see. I went up in an RAF hawk a few years back & planes n ground stuff were much easier to see & track(realise the PC monitor issue but....) Thanx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Visibility depends heavily on screen resolution. At 1366 X 768 I couldn't do anything in visual combat. At 1980 X 1020 I find and engage enemy planes visually. At higher resolutions things become even better. PeterP has made a thread on this issue. Also, there is a FC3 Q&A thread fro questions.

Yeah, BTW, since this thread will most likely be merged with the Q&A thread, would it be possible to bring it (Q&A thread) back to the general section ?

Sheppard Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Hello ! I wanted to rename my message to say that I found, but you have been more fast than me. I searched on the forum and, in fact, I must press the touch during 2 seconds. So, I researched in the "300 pages". Good evening !

xnomad Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Hi, I played LOMAC a long time ago when it came out and now I'm back. How do you finish a campaign mission? I'm stuck on the first F15 (FAM flight) mission I land, taxi to parking, turn off the engine and quit but I never seem to progress to the next mission. I don't want to have to fly the whole bloody thing again for the 3rd time :-( Windows 10 Pro 64bit, i7-9700KF @ 3.60GHz, 32GB RAM, GeForce RTX 2070 Super 1800MHz, Occulus Rift S, CH Pro Pedals, CH Pro Throttle, Virpil MongoosT-50 CM2, Virpil VPC WarBRD Base.

Eight Ball Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Be sure to accomplish the objectives specified in the briefing, a message should pop up where radio speeches are displayed saying something like "mission success, go back to base" After that I don't really know if you really need to land, taxi,... Press quit and voila. Got a question myself, how do I get rid of the cockpit camera angle restriction in the F-15C ? I'd like to be able to go through the canopy, seat and fuselage. I've looked here and here, downloaded that and nothing is working...anyone gots an idea ?

Lipton Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Idk if this is the correction section but here it goes. If I have A-10C and FC3 installed, and someone wants to join my server but they don't have FC3 and in the server there are FC3 aircraft, is there a way to allow others to join or they must own all modules that the host does. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nopileus Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Others can join, but they can only fly the Modules/Aircraft they own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
