Red Flag Training Missions - F/A-18C


Recommended Posts

So, what does that mean? I’m flying with the Springfield group.

 

Nevermind, this is the trigger of the last version.

It means you (Colt 1-1) have to be inside the last waypoint to activate the radio menu for select Information.

 

FLAG IS FALSE( 8 ) means you dont have activated the ATC Emergency procedure.

 

I've made a little change in the trigger , I'll send you via PM the mission.

Thanks for the mission, however, it has made no difference.

Obviously, I can't spend the time testing doing the whole 45 minute tour each time, so this is what I do.

1) the whole startup procedure, including all ATC

2) follow Springfield 1-1 and 1-2 into the air

3) head towards wp5 for about 30 miles,

4) turn back towards wp6 (the last way point).

I get near Nellis, reach wp6, etc. but at no point do I get any entries on 'Other' apart from ATC DECLARE EMERGENCY.

WP5 is the last waypoint I meant. This is where the trigger you see in the post before is enabled.

The trigger area is here , you have to be exactly on it to make it work.

Anyway , I've tested this mission 3 times now today. Never got a single problem.

 

I try to make a list of things you should check ( just to be sure everything is as I've done ):

 

- put the mission I've send you via PM in the single mission folder of the F18 , DON'T for ANY reason replace or play the campaign version.

 

-forget about Springfield 1-1 , after take off move directly to WP5.

 

- once near waypoint 5 make sure you just run over it.

This is when RADIO ITEM are added.

 

-check "F10.Other" menu.

 

If you have done all and it does not work I think you should check to remove every possible mods and/or check DCS installation.

Sorry, I assumed that the last waypoint was the one before Nellis, i.e. wp6.

So, I tried with wp5, and yes, when I go over wp5, the correct entry in 'Other' appears. I clicked on 'Information Bravo' (I think!)was told to retune to Nellis approach, di that and all was good. I got the 'go to parking F135' type thing and the score was 100.

That is all good.

Although the correct item appears under 'Other' when going through wp5, it disappears again, and it seems a very tight criteria to get this to appear. Is that correct? How would a player even know that was how to get that option to show without all the useful contributions you have made here?

If you stick close to Springfield 1-1 at WP5 you should hear him say to grab ATIS and land at Nellis.I've already add a message to player's group to help him check F10 menu, will add it to the next update.

 

Once selected the right information ( you can check CH2 COMM2 to hear ATIS again ) all radio items are removed and a message to contact Approach on CH6 COMM2 will appear.

I'm glad we finally made it through! :thumbup:

 

 

 

Meanwhile at Nellis there's a lot of traffic! :smilewink:

One weird thing I noticed is that the binding - usually the 'back' key - to hide/unhide the control stick on screen isn't working in these missions.

That's why is a free campaign!

 

 

 

Jokes apart , I'm working with CombatFlite for adding some briefing content.

 

 

 

Beside that this week I've added some variation of Nellis airport ground and air traffic between missions.

 

 

 

Nothing major but you'll see.

 

Much appreciation beppe_goodoldrebel for enriching these missions for our enjoyment at no cost.

Awacs datalink display on the SA requires re-saving these missions to have their function working.

I have tried effecting this change in Mission Editor but cannot find those aircrafts.

 

Datalink and SA page I believe would make your missions more immersive

 

How may we do this?

Little example of the Night Formation mission:

I dont think I can put all in the kneeboard, I can add those images in the mission briefing and in a separated pdf doc with the Mission Data Card .

I'm open to suggestions!

 

Thanks man, this looks awesome! PDFs are best imho.

Last night I flew the FAM mission following Springfield 1-1 all over NTTR.

I have to admit the "Blue Angels formation" made me chuckle, and a few moments later, there was a mid-air collision LOL

I'm still learning the system so I'm not sure how all things works.

My original intention was to add IFF and Datalink features to all missions.

 

I'll let you know once I figured it out.

:doh:

 

 

 

 

I found a problem on some triggers in the Night Formation, they enable the emergency landing procedure when the F117 leave the tanker.

I solved all , it will be in the next update.

I've found the trick. it's not only about save the mission , you have to re-create the AWACS group and then save the mission.

 

Now it works like a charm.

 

Dont do it in my missions, there are some triggers to be redone , I've already fixed them. Wait for the update.

Big update!

 

ADDED:

- New Briefings for all missions

- Briefings and Mission Data Card in pdf files

- Nellis airport traffic both air and ground in all missions for immersion

 

FIXED:

- Triggers in many missions

- Created new AWACS group for Datalink

 

 

KNOWN BUGS:

- AWACS Datalink may not work due to Tankers AA Tacan but it "should" work after next OB release the 13th March, I'll check once it's out.

- My english is not perfect , I may have done some errors in the briefings... :D

 

 

 

I'll take a break from this campaign cause Tomcat.

So , I'll check reported bugs but dont expect new things soon.

After mission "NTTR Familiarization and daylight formation flying" on taxiway I received information about Mission completed !

But... my score went down ! From 100% (after "Day 0 - Welcome to Nellis !")to 50% !

Why?

Score 100 is activated when you contact Nellis Ground after landing.

Maybe you dont have followed all the ATC stages?

 

The campaign should let you go to the next mission anyway , thats why it went down to 50%.

- I had contact with Nellis Ground after landing and followed its instructions -

taxi to stand 135.

- I passed through all ATC stages.

 

P.S Remarks - I am not sure about start-up and taxi just after Springfield 1.

Maybe before :( During taxi for take off I saw information - "Close Formation"...

A saved this track !! Here

If possible - check please!

Make sure to have the latest version of the campaign.

All those problems were fixed in the last update I made yesterday.

Hey, been flying the latest training missions afresh again and it is been fun especially with the SA page.

 

In the first two mission, I recorded mission success but wondering where the grading is done.

On the general debriefing data page after exiting, I see:

 

Score =0

Results = 100

 

I wanted to know which of the two above is used in grading performance and if I'm okay on score considering that I got a mission complete message after landing and parking.
