Hello!

 

Personally, I love the F-5 and all the hard work Belsimtek have put into it. But I noticed in these early days of the plane, there are not very many mission. So I set out to make a few. So far I have only made 2 but keep in mind I have only been making missions for the last few months and these are the only ones I feel confident enough in to release to the public. Please tell me how bad it is!

 

1. Mig21 Interdiction.

 

You have been scramble in the evening to interdict some mig21 in disputed territory. If they shoot upon you you may open fire on them, but we are currently tying to get them to communicate, we will advise you if they do not cooperate and then you can shoot them down! You can find the download here:

2. APC Interdiction.

 

We have just received some intel from a citizen in Poti that there are some Btr-80s with no one manning them. We suspect they are sleeping or something. We want you to use the cover of darkness to do a strike on these APCs. We have a recon team, callsign Fox, that is on the scene and will pop a flare at the position of the APCs if you require them. They will also tell you other pieces of information that could be useful to you. Once they are destroyed, Fox will tell you if you can RTB. You can find this here:

About 2. APC Interdiction

 

First i thought, a night mission in the F-5 is to disregard, but you got the right time, with sun dawn and the fire of a flare over the AO - good idea, good atmosphere.

 

You should think about to record sound file (ogg) for Fox radio messages) or use Text2Speech (like http://www.fromtexttospeech.com/ - not perfekt but it works).

 

One problem i see, you give only the option to get one flare up, but the F10 menu stay - may you remove the RadioItem or you set up for a secondary flare 'drop'.

 

I am not sure, why you use static units for the BTR group - is it that they should not move after a hit --> you could deactivate the AI for the unit, too. For a replay, you could use different group of BTR's which will choose by random.

 

Your wind setup is a little bit strange (@10m 218°; @2000m 68°, @8000m 310°), also the temperatur with 42°C for an early morning (DCS take Celsius not Fahrenheit) is strange - 24° is lifelike.

 

Last point, in the briefing, there are two WP2, as the F-5 has no HUD or moving map - why you not use heading and miles for direction or other TACAN distance, like intercept radial 200 for 20 miles.

 

 

If you have question to any point i listed, send me a pm.

Thanks for your comments!

 

Yeah, at the time I didn't know how to keep the f10 radio message on forever and couldn't find out where, but it gives you some interesting restrictions! :P

 

I will defiantly think about using the text to speech in later missions, it would make the atmosphere so much more realistic.

 

I used static units to give the impression that the drivers were away somewhere in a bar or something :lol: so they would not shoot back, turning of their ai would have been a better idea though.

 

The weather is like the worst storm of hell! I had no idea that those parameters were like that, I just used the summer heat preset option and left it to do its thing.

 

I was hoping that the pilot could use the f10 map (where I hid all the vehicles to make it just like a map) so they could use it as a map and plan to their own accord.

Another point, you plot a lot of waypoints (WP) for your units on patrol.

 

You have the option Orbit for you AWACS (Blue/Red):

Place three WPs (Start (the unit self), WP1, WP2), on WP1, you go on Advance (WP Action) // ADD // Perform Task // Orbit --> RaceTrack (choose Speed and Altitude)

 

Other option for a patrol flight (like your Mi-24 over Poti) Switch WP:

Place a flightpath (example 4 WPs in a square): on the last WP, you go again into Advance (WP Action) // ADD // Perform Command // Switch Waypoint x

This works only for A/C!

Thank you! I was wondering if there was a way to do a patrol.

Fun missions, thanks for taking the time to create them! I'd also recommend voice overs for various in-mission characters. If you go to the mission creation sub-forum here there's a list of community members who're generally willing to do voice acting for mission creators.

If you want to do (in the future) also patrols for ground units, you need MiST and the lua-Script: http://wiki.hoggit.us/view/GroundPatrol.
