Wanted: A few good men to test new A-10C coop mission

[Bahger]

I'm looking for three sim pilots who might want to test my new mission, "Patrol by Force", in advanced Beta form.

 

I think it's my best mission yet and it has all the usual bells and whistles, including detailed briefing, custom mission steerpoints and extensive voice comms. It is also fairly challenging. Players will need to be confident with:

 

- Cold start in 10 min or less

- JTAC

- In-flight target coordinate input from FAC into CDU

- Maverick deployment

- GBU deployment (LGB and WKMD, or one or the other)

 

The mission works well. A full-on airborne insertion of British special forces by Chinook with Apache escorts functions beautifully after many, many hours of fiddling in the ME. Tactically, it is by far the most compelling .miz I've attempted. I need to test play-balance, as it has got to the point where, after extensive testing, I can win it every time in SP but need to know if intermediate-to-advanced players find it either too easy or too hard in MP.

 

I'm in the US Pacific Time Zone. I can be available weekends/weekdays after 10:00pm or on weekday mornings. I'm hoping there will be interest, possibly from some of the Holllopoint, etc., pilots.

 

Briefing here.

 

Thanks!

My connection wouldn't be able to handle an cross Atlantic co-op, but I wouldn't mind having a crack in SP. Either before or after release. :D

[Bahger]

Thanks, Adi.

 

Otherwise, not a single taker, either here or on SimHQ. It's almost enough to put a fellow off mission design.

I'm down! What's better, I have the next couple weeks off of work, so plenty of time to play. :D

Bahger,

 

I'm willing and available. I work 2 days on and 4 days off so I'm pretty flexible on times. Let me know. ( I have a buddy who might be interested too... Ill ask him tomorrow) I'm west coast PST he's east Coast EST.

Thanks, guys, I appreciate it. If you can PM me your email addresses, that night be the best way to coordinate. Also, I suggest we use SimHQ's TeamSpeak server for comms; might that work for you?

i can do everything listed confidently, just the fac coords im not 100% on.

cold start takes me just a little over 4 mins... damn ins align!

 

i can take the time to let me know if this is still happening, and ill take the time to learn CDU input

Thanks, benargee. I can easily talk you through CDU input; it's easy and useful to know, both as a backup when datalink is either not working or the FAC is not equipped with it.

 

I'll be in touch later in the week.

I would love to test missions and start flying online with real people but only just got A-10C a few days ago and have not even flown it yet.Lots of learning ahead.I have been flying the A-10A getting familiar with that.Im pretty much combat ineffective at the moment but would like to fly with some guys at some point.I am in Ohio,USA.

hey are you still gonna test this? i'm sorry but at first you were disappointed with the low turn out, now i still here nothing on this.

 

Thanks, Adi.

I would still be up for teasting to if you would throw in a A-10A or Su-25t for me to fly as i cant fly the A-10C yet.I'm learning the editor and may have a mission to test myself in a couple weeks.

[Thick8]

I'm east coast and fly in the evening. I've had the A-10c for about a month now. I've done all the training missions and have been practicing bomb runs, SAM aquisition (they usually win), and some AtoA vs choppers. I'd love to give it a go. Let me know.

he said you need jtac and waypoint input, 2 things the su-25 and a-10a cannot do

[Rider1]

Sorry I missed this earlier. I am Pacific time zone and available any week night from 6PM to whenever. If you still need some play testers, let me know. I would be happy to fly it with you.

[Bahger]

Sorry I've been AWOL. Please post here if you'd like to fly it today (Sunday). Thanks!

[Rider1]

Sure. What time? I have a few things to do but should be home by 3:00 Pacific

[Mohamengina]

I'm keen to do some mission testing. Send me a PM with your details and preferred flight times all I'll let you know if they match up to my free time.
