redfish Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 One detail about spawning from Krymsk. After the AI apaches have taxied to their landing position at Krymsk, any one spawning into position hawg 2,4 or hawg 5 will spawn on top of an apache. It looks funny to see an apache mating with an a-10c... Other than that , this is an excellent mission.

redfish Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Can the friendly airbase - Krasnodar Center be changed from Neutral to part of the allies/coalition so we can refuel and rearm from Krasnodar Center. Read somewhere a friendly unit near the base also may help.

Read somewhere a friendly unit near the base also may help. Redfish, the latest beta does make the base allied. However, last night during beta testing, Hawg-1 and 2 could rearm/refuel easily from the base, but Hawgs 3-6 could not. I do not know why it would not work. Everyone could rearm at Krymsk.

CADelta Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Hey Ranger79, My Squadron just gave this mission a good go and we liked it allot, so kudos to you mate :thumbup: Only thing that bugged my Buddys out, was their inability to Rearm or contact Ground Crew in general at WP 3 (the "Rearm Airport"). I had no problems, maybe since I was the Host. So anyways my question is, is this a bug in the mission or an issue on my end? Anyhow cheers mate, hope you got a fix for us on this one :smilewink: Rep inbound. /Krycek = CAD = Krycek [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I try to save a life a day. Usually it's my own!

Didn't read this before my previous post, sorry bout that. But the issue still remain and in our case it was only Hawk 1-1 that could use that Airbase at WP3 for Rearm and such. /Krycek = CAD = Krycek [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I try to save a life a day.

Ranger79 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Yeah it is frustrating about the rearm at WP3, still waiting for some assistance with this portion. This occurred after 1.08 patch as well in a few missions I was flying, if I cant get it fixed, will have to make one airbase (starting) the default base.

Ranger79 Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 (edited) Ok, I added an american refuel truck, and made Hawg-3 and 4 start and spwan from this location. Please try it out and see if this fixes the problem. Beta 2c uploaded.

CADelta Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Okay Ranger79, Switching Hawg 3 and 4 to the other airbase actually did fix the problem, but I would love to see all Hawg flights at the same base initially :smilewink: Also saw you trying to join us this evening, did you have trouble connecting mate, never saw you get fully in!?

CADelta Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 (edited) You have to give it time :book: When it just stands there saying "Loading Mission", then it means that it's actually downloading the mission file, in most cases. So even though my upload speed is 5 Mbit, it could still take just a bit of time to download it. Also since you are located in the USA and me in Denmark, the connection is not the best :smilewink: Hope to see you next time mate. Take care. /Krycek Edited August 16, 2011 by CADelta = CAD = Krycek [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I try to save a life a day. Usually it's my own! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CADelta Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Hey Ranger79, My Buddy's and I are still loving to fly your mission here Sir. :thumbup: We was wondering, if you by any chance could maybe turn down that initial audio track, the "SCRAMBLE, SCRAMBLE" thing? It's very loud mate. :director::fear: Just a small request, sorry to be Biatchy about this, I really am amazed about your audio work on this mission. And by the way, do you have any news on the possibility for all HAWG Flights to be able to spawn on the same Airbase and still Rearm at the other Airbase? :dontgetit: Cheers. /Krycek = CAD = Krycek [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] I try to save a life a day.

Ranger79 Posted August 18, 2011 Author Share Posted August 18, 2011 The scramble can be lowered, the rearm issue has been around for a while, its a dcs issue.
