MAD-MM Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 (edited) Thx Yorgon starring the Caucasus map in the mission editor for Path between the woodlands and towns for cover, so far to the mental picture :wacko: Test different ways no luck, seems on my RWR is pop up shilka threat, and I wiggle my gazelle in all directions for evasive action and suddenly from all points popping up more shilkas. Put don't give up :furious: Dimitriov it's not to find Paris, meatboy advise you more or less where to go but it's the enemy thread itself where you have find out there a possible way.

Yurgon Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 You want me to hide the ENI units ? Yup, I think it would make sense to hide all enemy units. The kneeboard map is just terribly inaccurate, and IMO the F10 map is the best substitute for an actual map that we have in DCS, short of opening a map on another device (Lino's beacon map comes to mind). But with enemy units visible on the map, I never use it because it gives away too much information. So my personal preference would be to hide all enemy units and also all triggers zones, so that the Mission Planner and the F10 map are usable without being like cheating. But that's just my opinion. :smartass: For the 3rd mission, refer to the global map on the Miz1 (I will precise it on the brief, wrote it on my paper), so you will know where is the Paris FARP and where is the London FARP. By the way, did you well study the .pdf before flying ? It's very important, don't hesitate to yuse maps which were from a previous mission, as long as the campaign focuses on the same region. In that mission I hadn't used it yet. I think I started to look at the PDF around mission 6 or 7. For the earlier missions, I simply forgot it was there, even though I had actually known about it. :music_whistling: Test different ways no luck, seems on my RWR is pop up shilka threat, and I wiggle my gazelle in all directions for evasive action and suddenly from all points popping up more shilkas. I see. Yeah, there's plenty of them and I don't know if there's any safe route. I think we're also at a disadvantage because the AI can see and shoot through trees, but they're almost invisible to us when they're located in, or even near, a forest.

dimitriov Posted May 22, 2016 Author Share Posted May 22, 2016 There are no pup up units on the campaign except for non important units. ;) I'm sorry to say this, but flying this campaign without reading the .pdf is simply not the way it was thought. Never got shot down on this one, just fly low and fast. Nicolas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBot Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 So my personal preference would be to hide all enemy units and also all triggers zones, so that the Mission Planner and the F10 map are usable without being like cheating. I very much agree on this. In the first mission I opened the Mission Planner to review the route and saw all trigger zones laid out in front of me. I haven't used the Mission Planner since then to not spoil the mission. As I rule of thumb, I would hide everything in the mission that should not be part of the briefing.

TomCatMucDe Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 (edited) I think i have a bug in Mission 4 and I am stuck. The campaign is probably ruined for me :/ It is probably because i started the campaign before the DCS update here is a description of what I did: after rearming in Paris, i take off and get the briefing that enemy tanks are attacking from the main road. I went to WP 5 and nothing happens. No actions are triggered. The column of tatar tanks doesnt move when i went to attack them, i dont get the F10 option to ask the Apache to engage. now i cant progress anymore :/ Edited May 22, 2016 by TomCatMucDe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomCatMucDe Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 here is what i did, i tried it 2 times: 1. took off 2. went to shoot the nasty Grad trucks 3. RTB rearmed and refueled. I heard the radio saying that evacuation has started 4. went to WP5 with 4 HOT and stationed there 5. the enemy column doesnt move, and i have no F10 radio option Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zarma Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 Did the same twice also. Tried to wait at wp5, to go to the friendly forces and to attack the column. They never come to us.

dimitriov Posted June 2, 2016 Author Share Posted June 2, 2016 (edited) This mission was planned to kill the player, try to be fair and to die next time >< You don't even imagine all the time I spent placing each 23 mm right on the edge of the flight plan, just hoping you would get killed... And you dare come at me and say you survived ! You monster ! :D Edited June 2, 2016 by dimitriov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAD-MM Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 To be fair, they was near to accomplish there Target after a unwary wide to high turn the shilkas send me farewell greetings and ripe my empty launcher tubes apart from my right weapons holder and some 23 mm bird strikes in my gazelle fuselage lucky me. :smilewink: Once you have tasted Flight, you will forever walk the Earth with your Eyes turned Skyward.

exil Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 They also shot at me and i was manouvering like hell... After surviving and approaching WP 09 i was fully confident to kill some bad asses and get the hell out of there. After a little search for the convoy, i wasn't able to shoot (no rectangle in the viviane) and thought my a/c was bugged...till i finally found out (after 10min and serveral convoy chases to stay in range), that this bloody shilkas shot both of my launcher tubes... Mission failure...as real as it get's! Dimitriov, what a great campaign!!! Wonderful, creative missions and tasks and a great immersion! And whoever complained about the british accend of Meatboy-1!

dimitriov Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) To be clear, I never worked with someone as professionnal and motivated than Brix, who was in charge to record Meatboy voices. If you've got a nice and immersive english version, it's as well thanks to his way of acting as well as his numerous hours spent in correcting my english mistakes ^^ People don't necessarily realize how much time and efforts are needed to make feel a character true and human, specially when he's supposed to be the main, central one, many tried during the recruitment, but few managed to do what I wanted. ;) And if some people think that his way of acting isn't good, well, it's more to me than to him that it has to be said, as long as he speaks exactly as in the script I had written. My team, my responsability ;) Nicolas Edited June 3, 2016 by dimitriov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exil Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 You and your team did just great! As i do my own missions, including voice acting, (none of them has been released...yet), i know how much effort it takes to create missions like that! I'm really looking forward to play the next missions!
