Sedlo Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Eastern Friendship Mission 1 - Viper Edition is out! Download link: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3306438/ Last night, a Georgian armoury was attacked by Russian backed separatist guerillas and a number of heavy weapons, including APCs, ZSU-23 Shilkas, were stolen. Intelligence suspects that the stolen armour is heading east in order to escape into South Ossetia. Your job is to provide close air support in the hunt for the stolen weapons. SCENARIO: This is a fictional, “what if”, scenario where Georgia had hurriedly joined NATO prior to the full scale Russian invasions of South Ossetia and Abkhazia. NATO air power has begun staging at airbases around Georgia proper, and have commenced defensive air operations. Currently, NATO air forces are cleared to operate within the territorial boundaries of Georgia, and are cleared to conduct strikes to support NATO ground forces within Georgian Airspace. Last night, a Georgian armoury was attacked by Russian backed separatist guerillas, and a number of heavy weapons, including APCs, ZSU-23 Shilkas were stolen. Intelligence suspects that the stolen armour is heading east in order to escape into South Ossetia. This hostile group is believed to be made up of South Ossetian Guerillas, Russian SPETZNAZ forces and defecting Georgian Army personnel. Badger 1, a joint Canadian / Georgian convoy has been dispatched to locate the purloined equipment before these criminals can escape. MISSION: You are the lead pilot of Colt 5 flight of 2 F-16Cs based at Kutaisi Airbase in northern Georgia. Colt 5 is sitting alert ready to support NATO and Georgian ground forces. Rumour is that Badger 1 is hot on the tail of the stolen armour. The weather is not great, a low overcast of 10000ft will keep close air support right in the heart of the AAA and MANPAD envelope. We have already lost 2 NATO aircraft to hostile fire, so make sure to employ liberal use of flares when flying in proximity to hostile forces. ***************************************** COLT 5 - F-16C x 2 CAS Alert 5 COLT 9 - CF-18 x 2 CAS Alert 15 FORD 1 - M2000C x 2 CAP Airborne NTMR 4 - CF-18 x 2 CAP Alert 15 ****************************************** MISSION NOTES: 1. You will have to change radio frequencies in this mission - Easy Comms are disabled. 2. You can use the Radio Menu to give orders to your wingman, and to get information from MAGIC. 3. This mission requires you to fly to, and over, waypoint 2 on departure, plus fly to, and over, waypoint 5 upon returning to base (UNLESS CLEARED TO TURN PRIOR BY MAGIC OR ATC) 4. This functionality of this mission's triggers and actions are dependent on you NOT CHANGING THE WEAPONS LOADOUT! Doing so may break your mission, and that sucks! 5. DO NOT STRAY INTO RUSSIAN OR SOUTH OSSETIAN TERRITORY! 6. If you do make it back to base, keep in mind that you are in a combat zone and are expected to fly the overhead break to land. 7. Yes, there are custom kneeboards. My Youtube Channel MY DCS MISSIONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VampireNZ Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Hi Sedlo, just tried out the mission several times. First run changing to the takeoff frequency preset did nothing (CH2 I believe)- no response while holding short of the RWY, just took off anyway. Second time through worked ok selecting channel while approaching the runway. After landing, the preset to change to for ground doesn't match the actual freq on that preset. Also the loadout - I wasn't aware 2x GBU-10's is a standard CAS loadout? I assume we are supposed to change to a more suitable loadout before departure?

Sedlo Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) There will be text message prompting you to change to channel 3 just prior to the hold short line when taxiing towards 26. The landing text message was incorrect, I've since fixed it, and will upload the corrected mission shortly. Thanks for the pointout. 2x GBU-12 is what you're given, it's a great loadout for CAS, and if you mess with the armament some of the triggers won't work correctly.

Cheers, yes the message detailing to change freq by the hold-short stayed up top of screen and nothing happened, despite changing to that preset, as described. Also, having dropped Mk-84's for real (pretty sure I had GBU-10's on my jet...that's the big ones)...I am pretty sure I wouldn't want to be anywhere 'close' to them! But hey, no biggie. :thumbup: Cheers for the mission.

Sedlo Posted October 13, 2019 Author Share Posted October 13, 2019 (edited) Gotcha... OK, the text message thing was scheduled to pop up then the jet was close to the hold short line. The way the mission script worked is that the request and clearance for takeoff would only happen when the player was still within that zone. If you had already crossed the hold short line before switching tower, it wouldn't work. I've now adjusted the trigger so it should still work even if you've crossed the hold short line. New version is now active on the user files area: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3306438/ No, I get it, a 2000lb bomb would not be an ideal CAS weapon. Rest assured, the mission is written with GBU-12s on board. Edited October 13, 2019 by Sedlo My Youtube Channel MY DCS MISSIONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedlo Posted October 14, 2019 Author Share Posted October 14, 2019 Version 1.2 up now... The mission is now a Cold Start, I've also tweaked the mission a bit so now the wingman will be capable in attacking the targets. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3306438/ My Youtube Channel MY DCS MISSIONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you using CCIP or CCRP? _________________________________ Aorus Z390 Extreme MB | i9 9900k CPU @ 5.0 GHz | EVGA RTX 2080 Ti FTW3 Ultra | 32 GB G Skill Trident Z 3600 MHz CL14 DDR4 Ram | Corsair H150i Pro Cooler | Corsair TX 850M PS | Samsung 970 Evo Plus M.2 NVMe SSD 1TB |TMWH Hotas with VPC WarBRD Base| Corsair Gamer 570x Crystal Case | HP Reverb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedlo Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 I'm glad you liked them! I think I'll leave them as single player missions for now.... It's possible I'll revisit Eastern Friendship and turn it into a campaign at some point. My Youtube Channel MY DCS MISSIONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viking 1-1 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Just finished your missions 1 & 2. They are fantastic! Great work with the voiceovers. I was like "wtf!?" when I heard Spudknockers voice in Mission 1. Very nice experience overall, great immersion! And thanks that you implemented voiceovers for people that can't differ between left and right... lol Before you call everything a "bug": RTFM & try again!

-Painter- Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 Sedlo, thanks for that mission! Very immersive with all that voice-overs. I liked it (and died 3 times due to "easy"-SAMs before being successful :D the flares appear to do shit :D ) !

Chicki Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hi. Amazing mission. Thanks. Hey, am I supposed to talk to JTAC at the target? Or just "eyeball" it. Also, should I do a stored align? Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedlo Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Hey Chicki! Thanks, glad you liked it! You can do stored heading or a full alignment, it doesn’t matter (the triggers are based on switching to ground for taxi). And no, you don’t have to call the JTAC using the usual DCS procedure. Hi. Amazing mission. Thanks. Hey, am I supposed to talk to JTAC at the target? Or just "eyeball" it. Also, should I do a stored align? Thanks again.

Chicki Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Ok Sedlo. Thanks. I've reflown the mission a few times and everything makes more sense. Can't wait to fly the others. Good stuff! Thanks pal. Keep them coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orestd Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi Sedlo Quick question why do the GBU 12 bombs not work in the F-18 Hornet mission 1 in the Easter Friendship Campaign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedlo Posted April 1, 2020 Author Share Posted April 1, 2020 How are they not working? Like not exploding, dropping or guiding? My Youtube Channel MY DCS MISSIONS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orestd Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 The CCIP on the hud is crossed out. I activate the master arm button and go through the routine of arming them but the CCIP on the hud is still crossed out and I cannot drop the bombs.

Sedlo Posted April 2, 2020 Author Share Posted April 2, 2020 FYI, this is posted in the Viper forum... To answer the question, I flew the mission in Eastern Friendship/Hornet and I'm not seeing the issue you described... I'm thinking that you should be dropping the LGB in CCRP in any event, with the target designated and the laser firing.
