NBEagle Posted December 18, 2012 Posted December 18, 2012 Is it possible to reassign a target after a "unable to comply" for it by a AFAC / FAC? I using a predator orbit around the target at angels 5 and there is no further tasking available anymore after a unable to comply for this. Of course predator assign new targets if there are spawning new ones, but the "old" one is not accessible for the AFAC / FAC. And may i am right that grounding planes are cannot assign automatically as targets by a AFAC? cheers
Yurgon Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 Is it possible to reassign a target after a "unable to comply" for it by a AFAC / FAC? Good question. I've accidentally told the JTAC I couldn't attack a target once or twice and didn't find a way to have the target re-assigned. Would be nice if this could be done. I using a predator orbit around the target at angels 5 [...] Angels 5? For the predator that's almost NOE. :lol: But seriously, AFAIK they're usually up at angels 18 and above. Wikipedia gives a service ceiling of 25.000 ft for the MQ-1 and a service ceiling of 50.000 ft for the MQ-9, with an operational altitude of 25.000 ft for the latter. That's pretty much where I'd expected them to be stacked in the airspace.
Evil.Bonsai Posted December 19, 2012 Posted December 19, 2012 I've 'checked out' and checked back in with jtac, and it worked that way. Basically, tell them you're going home, then re-contact them.

NBEagle Posted December 19, 2012 Author Posted December 19, 2012 (edited) Thanks for the answers... Angels 5? For the predator that's almost NOE. :lol: But seriously, AFAIK they're usually up at angels 18 and above. Wikipedia gives a service ceiling of 25.000 ft for the MQ-1 and a service ceiling of 50.000 ft for the MQ-9, with an operational altitude of 25.000 ft for the latter. That's pretty much where I'd expected them to be stacked in the airspace. I know the predators are almost ceiling higher in RL, but in DCS even at angels 5 i got different types of JTAC (sometimes Type 2, sometimes Type 3 in the same situation), so i put it down to for a hopefully better line of sight. I've 'checked out' and checked back in with jtac, and it worked that way. Basically, tell them you're going home, then re-contact them. With this in use, its possible to activate the last target, yes, thanks Evil.Bonsai! But unfortunately it didnt works for a cannot comply. It would be better if there is a possibility to cycle through the targets the JTAC gives for a personal choosing. Edited December 19, 2012 by ~NB~Eagle
