Interest in Live Fire Range

[Maverick_]

I was building a live fire range mission to help myself with datalink training and manual targeting modes, but wanted to know if the community would be interested in such a mission, would be good for novice targeting training and weapons systems training.

[MikeSinn]

Absolutely. I could certainly use the practice and I'm hopeless with the editor....

[RetroBurn]

+1

[Maverick_]

Thanks for all of the interest guys! I need to tweak a bit but will post this mission sometime this weekend, stay tuned

[Devrim]

Of course. Exercises are always good.

 

I mean, "+1". :)

[Maverick_]

[TimeKilla]

Thanks not trying it until I get my new joystick will comment in a few days. ty again tho :thumbup:

[JG14_Smil]

I would test it but I don't do auto starts :)

 

You using that for a trigger?

[Maverick_]

No the ramp start/auto start are not mission critical for triggers, all events are triggered during the flight

[MVSokie]

I dont do auto starts either or I would have tried it.

I dont think Ive autostarted any Plane in the DCS world except FC aircraft.

[Maverick_]

the auto start isnt necessary, but the mission starts from the ramp with a cold helicopter so you will need to ramp start then, i designed it so the player would ramp start, but auto starting is simply faster.

[MVSokie]

oh, i misunderstood,:doh:I will try it out then.

[Maverick_]

haha, no big deal, glad I could help! The Air to Air training range is almost complete now so stay tuned for that as well!

I am really struggling with this, how can I target stuff when they are in dense forest and the Ka-50 has not got FLIR?

[Maverick_]

IIRC (im at work will check for sure later) the targets are all in open, I usually have labels on to help with targeting, but IRL these pilots simply have to use the good old eyeball to find targets and lock with shkvl, in DCS often resolution of screens makes this impossible hence labels.
