elite1 Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hi, In the mission editor how do you assign a plane or a ground item as a Jtac so that you can communicate with it.I understand that they both need to be on the same radio frequencies. I have enemy infantry tanks on the battlefield which is in the line of sight of my apc's. Under the battlefield commander icon I have ticked my side as having a jtac but on flying the mission when I press the mic switch there is no jtac menu, what am I doing wrong, I have had it set up once and working but for the life of me cannot get it working again. I have watched a video on inputting cordinates into the cdu which I understand and on his map he has a green cross marking his item as a jtac controller any help would be much appreciated.

ENO Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/Mission_Editor:_JTAC_(Joint_Terminal_Attack_Controller) I'd type it all out but the above link explains it better than I ever could.

shagrat Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) In the GUI Manual you can find details for the mission editor. The manual is not linked in the StartMenu, but you can find it under: C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\A-10C\Doc have a look around page 174 ff. Basically: place a ground unit (armed) make it invisible (to prevent AI from engaging the "hidden" JTAC) set the frequency to communicate create an enroute task (FAC or FAC engage group) define weapons, data link etc. Edit: Also consider setting ROE to HOLD FIRE (unfair if AI can't see the JTAC, but the JTAC kills tanks big time) Edited March 10, 2013 by shagrat Shagrat - Flying Sims since 1984 - Win 10 | i5 10600K@4.1GHz | 64GB | GeForce RTX 3090 - Asus VG34VQL1B | TrackIR5 | Simshaker & Jetseat | VPForce Rhino Base & VIRPIL T50 CM2 Stick on 200mm curved extension | VIRPIL T50 CM2 Throttle | VPC Rotor TCS Plus/Apache64 Grip | MFG Crosswind Rudder Pedals | WW Top Gun MIP | a hand made AHCP | 2x Elgato StreamDeck (Buttons galore) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
