chumpeagle Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Thanks @draconus, very smooth... I think I get it now having watched that so thanks for sharing. It's like the HUD is adjusting itself for the wind. I was thinking I needed to adjust and was using my rudder to try and keep the cross and velocity indicator in the middle of the HUD (and totally losing it), whereas you are leaving them off to the side and just making sure they are lined up. I will have another go once I get chance. i7-13700k | nVidia 3080 Ti | 64GB RAM VKB MCG Ultimate stick with old Sidewinder FFB2 as well | Warthog Throttle | TrackIR FC3 | F/A-18C | F-5e | Harrier | KA-50 | Spitfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have another go once I get chance. By all means it's not perfect and I indeed fly in a forward slip. I don't know if jet fighter pilots would coordinate in this descent - probably yes - neglect on my part. The wind at higher altitude is considerable but near the ground is not at all that bad - so no need for crab. You'll notice me checking the HSI from time to time just to make sure I'm on the right path.

Burt Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Hey thanks for sharing, I've had the F-15c since I started but never gave it a chance but now I'm interested. Is it possible to add a wingman to fly and training too? Thank You !!!

I have tried it about 10 times and either slam into the mountain or realise I have flown miles wide of the runway. I can't try it again as I'm going to throw my joystick through the monitor! Would love to see how it is done properly. Here you are! Not a perfect flight by any means, but reasonable enough: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, I meant to imply that you should "leave them off to the side" by these instructions: Quote There is a crosswind tonight, so you will want to "crab" during your final approach. This means you will let the noise point into the wind, so you will end up approaching the runway flying slightly sideways. I will revise these instructions to make them more clear in the next update!

Burt Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Well I was thinking of hosting some of your missions and fly with a friend...2 Eagles. But I understand and no biggie.

chumpeagle Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Thanks everyone, I have finally managed to do that one now thanks to the tips, recordings and videos. Now I just need to defeat the practice mission and do the air to air refueling. I think that is going to be much easier now I have worked out the autopilot. i7-13700k | nVidia 3080 Ti | 64GB RAM VKB MCG Ultimate stick with old Sidewinder FFB2 as well | Warthog Throttle | TrackIR FC3 | F/A-18C | F-5e | Harrier | KA-50 | Spitfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I might look into taking that on as well - a lot of these would be easy to redo for the A-10A.) YES PLEASE! These FC3 aircraft are light on systems, but are perfect for teaching fundamentals. This would be perfect training for anyone new getting to DCS - the F15 for basic A-A, and the A10a for basic A-G. Nice job! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been trying to find some A-10A missions to start learning that one. I just don't have the time to learn the more advanced planes at the moment so planning to use FC3 planes for a while (even though I bought the F/A-18C when it was in the sale). I'm loving the F-15C but going to try the A-10A to see if I prefer ground attack or A2A to then decide which plane I invest my time in from the more advanced ones. Therefore if anyone knows of any A-10A training missions I'd love to hear about it. 2 i7-13700k | nVidia 3080 Ti | 64GB RAM VKB MCG Ultimate stick with old Sidewinder FFB2 as well | Warthog Throttle | TrackIR FC3 | F/A-18C | F-5e | Harrier | KA-50 | Spitfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sacarino111 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 HI. Wonderfull missions, I enjoyed a lot flying them. I have some years of experience on flight simulators (from 1984!, go imagine!), but you managed to teach something. Really an outstanding job! Thanks again! Saludos.

It appears the incorporation of the Spanish translations provided graciously by @andrey1989 somehow broke that I've rolled back to the English-only version for the time being until I can figure out why that's happening.

chumpeagle Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Awesome. Unfortunately I have discovered I can't get my old Microsoft Force Feedback joystick working with the A-10A. So far I have used it no problems with the SU-25, the F-15 and also the F/A-18 but as soon as I try to use it with the A-10A the force feedback pulls it off to one side and makes it unusable despite any tweaks to force feedback axis and settings. Very odd. Above lessons look great though and maybe I will figure out some way to get my joystick working to use them. i7-13700k | nVidia 3080 Ti | 64GB RAM VKB MCG Ultimate stick with old Sidewinder FFB2 as well | Warthog Throttle | TrackIR FC3 | F/A-18C | F-5e | Harrier | KA-50 | Spitfire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pantheruler Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Hello. It seems I can't complete mission 9. I can dodge a couple missiles launched at me, but I eventually get overwhelmed. What I've tried so far is losing altitude to perhaps avoid some locks, or adjust course to avoid the SAMs altogether. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello! Are you following all the instructions in the mission briefing? Particularly: "If you encounter any ground or air threats, modify your route to completely avoid them, since you will be unarmed." (If the mission briefing does not include these instructions, then you are using an older version of these missions, and I recommend updating to the current version.) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried modifying the route but I guess it wasn't enough. I'll give another go. Also thank you for these missions.

Krazuul Posted May 21, 2021 Share Posted May 21, 2021 I'm struggling to complete mission 7, because with the new cloud system it's pretty much a complete blind landing. I have the same problem with the Huey solo landing training mission. It looks not like the video posted by you on February 21. Could you look into that problem? Thanks in advance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention! The missions are designed for the stable release (2.5.6 at the moment) and I have not fully tested them on 2.7 yet. I'll look into that problem this weekend and see if I can find a good solution! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
