Great! I saw them. They are great as reference before actual attempt to fly those missions.

 

Thank you! I will use your videos for sure.

Subscribed to you channel yesterday as I was searching for Mable flags. Was a little surprised; you only having 6 posts in here as I'd imagine you having a lot more :)

 

You rock!

Thank you for your kind words everyone! I really appreciate it and it keeps my motivated! Let me know if there's anything I can do for anyone or if there's any in specific you'd like to see!

Haha! I know, I was thinking about my lack of forum posts yesterday! I think because I have a job with no internet access, my free time is spent in the pit and video editing which doesn't leave a lot of time to spend on the forums which I wish i could. Maybe I need to hack the firewall at work!

Nice videos!

 

On TAC 11 What is that strange chirping noise in the cockpit? I've never heard that before.

Its a mod I use for my RWR which changes the beeps and boops of the RWR to make the radar signals more discernable. The chirping is a signal that has been pinging me for a while so its less pronounced and less annoying. A new signal gives a more high pitched noise to let me know if something new is tracking me.

RS I watched your video for TAC14 and yeah I kept losing the SPI on that first SAM site too. Can't figure out why. I wonder if running in low throws it off but I've not heard of that before.

 

Wow, the SPI moves, check out the screen shots. I set it with the TGP from higher altitude on the way in, then running in low you can see it shoft from one instant to the next.

Just wondering here....is this anywhere near the T38/37 line?

The moving SPI? I don't think it's a case of that either. I didn't enter the coordinates via the CDI, just TMS back long to make the TGT Steerpoint my SPI then slewed into the SAM site with the TGP then TMS forward long to set the SPI. You can see the two screenshots seconds apart the wedding cake moves. I haven't got a chance to watch Recon Stewart's video again but he has a similar WTF moment approaching the target. Of course low on the deck you can't see the target till you come up over a hill and then you find its not there.

Your TGP is looking in a different position in each screen shot, of course your SPI will have changed position to match.

Yes my TGP is slaved to the SPI so when that moves, so does the camera.

What happened in recon's vid is that the LOS gets masked by the hill just west of TGT. You should leave the steerpoint as SPI or adjust with the tgp and then put a MK point.

Also, China Aft Long slaves the tgp to steerpoint (not SPI) and that prevents the tgp of going batshit.

I have the same issue. When I try to kill last target with guns and descending below 5000' it terminates the mission. Same if I kill them all with bombs and try to land. It fails. I'll give a try with the practice one.

Sounds like the Hard Deck trigger is not being disabled when you enter the range. Are you flying all the waypoints directly or taking any shortcuts?

 

We will retest the MFM version and update the User Files if we find a bug.

 

The campaign has been updated with professional voice overs and is into ED for testing. Not sure when they will release it but we didn't see that bug in our testing of the updated version.

If you are hitting all the waypoints then when you hear this call:

 

COLT 1-2 CONFIRMS.

ALL ALTITUDES,

CLEAR OF CLOUDS,

HARD DECK 500.

 

I HAVE CONTROL.

 

It sets FLAG 19 which disables the 5000' Hard Deck Restriction trigger.

 

If you don't hit all the waypoints in the flight plan then likely you aren't getting this flag set properly.

 

The other case might be some memory corruption causing FLAG 19 to flip back so it's false and that would cause the Hard Deck trigger to fire if you go below 5000'.

Sabre I did not hear/see the message your are mentioning. That's strange. I follow all the waypoints but I have to check if I move them manually instead of having cycle them automatic. I don't remember. Also I did not hear the FENCE IN comand and the talk with ATC (female voice if I remember well). I will re do the mission and save a track for you.

That would do it. You need to hit each waypoint in turn (fly the flight plan as briefed) to hit the appropriate trigger zones.

 

We can look at the trigger zone sizes and make them bigger but if you fly through each waypoint then that should ensure proper trigger execution.

 

It's possible the mission file is corrupted so you might want to re-download and re-install the package again.

Hi Sabre, finally I accomplished it. The issue was I did not get the 8000' altitude fast in the first track (WP 0-WP1) and I suppose there's a trigger at that altitude when Leader starts to talk about mission. So at the WP1 turn Leader has not finished yet to talk about mission and did not get instruction for next WP, no G-warm, no fence in and other messages for the other WP's. Hope it's clear what's happened.

Glad you figured it out. Yes you should try to get to altitude as quickly as you can (while maintaining adequate airspeed). A 10 to 15 degree climb at full throttle should do it.
