I could not take off from the top so after several attempts I moved the waypoints down to the base of the peak just so I could at least play though this one.

Just did a simple test with this. I had 3 wind layers same direction but slightly different speeds and no manual data entry, bombs where right on. Then with winds in different directions and speeds and bombs where off target.

Thanks Eddie, Viewed your tracks. Just realized I had my winds to/from backwards when inputing in the pit from your tracks. Hit dead on on the one I built. What is this auto correction one, is that a different way to set up winds?

Looking for an old russian Black Shark mission that was with the first english beta years ago. I kept it from the beginning but apparently have deleted it. I was going to try to recreate it but thought I'd ask if anybody had it. Don't have the name because it was in russian language, but it involved attacking convoy's from the rear as they tried to capture bases. Also, if you search youtube for "blackshark rambo" you will see it. It might well be in the russian version. Always enjoyed this one for a quick flight. Thanks...

Thanks for the comments guys. Glad to hear some of you are making use of them. I've been busy with work and haven't had a chance to try them after the 0.7 patch. Do they still work?

Well I gave it a go. I lost an engine half way through (from the manpad) and fought the second half on one engine. I put the fire out, shut the engine off, then the other engine to max and trimmed and pressed on. A smart pilot would have returned to base. :music_whistling: A bit sluggish lining up to fire guns and dropping cbu's and the landing was a slight challenge but we made it. Thanks for creating another fun mission. Your other book was a very enjoyable read. :book::thumbup:

Thanks, I set that one up cause I had never tried the flares, also. Try the river run and gun on the tanks. When I started that one I had trouble with one tank but now I can usually get all 5. You can edit them anyway you want if needed. I added a few notes to each scenario that I used for each but they may not be totally accurate for everyone or you may do things differently. I'd suggest anyone starting out with this sim to first get their joystick's hotas buttons setup and then do the training missions in the game. dne48...Can't wait to start reading that book and looking forward to your next challenge. Thanks again

Well I finally got around to flying this again, here's the results. Got shot up again but made it back to base.

This is spectacular Ricardo and I haven't even tried it yet, but if its anything like the one you did for the SU-25T that I use all the time it's gonna be super. Thank you for all your hard work here.

Hey dane48, I just flew your mission and enjoyed it. I did this in 29 minutes and made a few mistakes along the way and took some bullets but made it back to base. After the first group of 4 it took nearly 5 minutes before the next ones showed up. I forgot to count the number of targets I got but is there any indication of all targets destroyed? I did save the track but I will probably do it again after my one gun run with the rocket cue in the hud, oops.:doh: Thanks.

I've made a few simple training missions for myself and I thought I would share them with anyone that might be interested. I did these so I could practice with either a specific weapon, mode, task, or different types of threats and to be able to quickly redo it. They all start in the air, generally right before weapons employment. Hopefully they will be of some use to others that are learning the ropes like me.:book: Share your creations :smilewink: Night Flares and Tanks.miz Practice Helo Attacks.miz Practice engines out landing.miz SAM Hunt.miz Night FAC Practice.miz Ammo Depot.miz MK-82AIR practice.miz CCIP Bomb and Guns practice.miz NIGHT 6 mavs 6 tanks 1 pass.miz 6 Mavs 6 tanks 1 pass.miz River run popup gun.miz Night bridges X 4.miz Land at Senaki.miz Practice Air Refueling.miz Smoke Rockets.miz

Problem solved! http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=68060

For me, the speech sound plays fine it's just that the last 3 to 5 words are dropped or cut off.

Sim runs great but I have this annoying sound problem, the last second of any speech sound cuts out. I can get by with the text to know what is said. Trying to rule out hardware. Ran checks in dxdiag, did both the directx updates, 9 and current. I'm on Asus P6T MotherBoard sound, using soundmax 5.1. Gonna check my BIOS. Was hoping there was some config file that could be tweaked. Any ideas?

Thanks Wags and ED staff and beta testers! It's a great way to celebrate Presidents day although this feels like Christmas again. Hope it snows outside and I'm stuck inside for days!

Ok got it. For some reason when I clicked on the file at LockOnFiles the page wasn't displaying correctly, unlike the picture above, but finally it did after a few attempts. Don't know what that was all about. Now to go try it out. :pilotfly: Thanks

JujuMan, I only have 3 files; addon.Ima3, readme,and bmp. Is this correct? Using lastest mod 7.3. Tried downloading again and nothing gets installed. At least it doesn't show in my list or trying it in game. Ghost, Hows that big monitor and obutto setup? I tried a similar one but couldn't get a clear picture. I later read somewhere to not use the hdmi port but the vga port, but I have since sold tv monitor so can't try it out. I might try a smaller 37" or 40" again someday.

Hey Greb, Thanks for creating these missions, only about half way through them but really enjoying them. Nothing like starting your day off right with nice hot cup of "bombs before breakfast"!. :drink: :joystick::bomb::thumbup:

Hey JujuMan, I tried to install your NVG mod but it didn't work with Modman, I believe the file is missing in the download.

I've had chproducts for a long time but up until about a year ago I had never used the press and release function. I thought I would share one of my favorite and probably most used buttons that I have on my ch pro throttle index finger button for the Black Shark. I don't know if it works on other joystick types and you probably don't need it if you use multi-monitors. I just find it very convenient. Nothin fancy. On press and hold with using combination keypad 0 plus keypad 2 or "HOLD KP0 KP2" I get a zoomed in full screen Abris and Shkval view and then while holding I can use my thumb stick to slew the sight or i can work with the Abris. It helps to be in a stable hover while doing this. Then on release it goes back to cockpit forward view and centers my TrackIR that I have on keypad 5 or "f1 kp5". My TIR4 is alway drifting off center over time. I use to have these on different buttons but I tried this combo and love it. I'm also trying something similar with the A10C left and right MFCD's.

Good luck with that, and thanks for keeping us informed

72. New English "Smerch Hunt" mission. Awesome!!

Thanks guys for clearing that up. I'm using the hook on the TAD's page and the HSI to help me with getting on the correct line but there maybe other things that could be done with the instruments besides just visual reference.

Trying to get my brain around this and maybe making it harder than it is. JTAC gives me, as an example, an attack heading 100 - 320. Is the 100 my heading to target or the degrees from the target? Is the 320 a range between 100 or is this another attack heading from the other direction or an offset? Generally I will just fly to the target at heading 100. Also, on some created JTAC missions, after setting up attack and you get the TGP set on target I have to then make HUD SOI and hold TMS UP LONG to get the diamond mark to move on to the target so I can visually find target. This doesn't even look like the right command from the manual. But it works.

Hey Kylania, I edited the mission and fixed the jtac to channel 30 and move my coordinates over where they trigger. I searched a bit and did not find them but I discovered that they are there and hidden to labels and the map. I was playing around with the view settings and I hit Ctrl + F7 and I could see it. It looked like it was there where it's suppose to start from but my game crashed, apparently didn't like me doing that. lol.. So I will try later to look that area over better. The good news is they apparently are there. This is my first crash in this mission, but I'm getting a crash in some of the other missions and also tried a campaign as soon as I contact Jtac.
