imacken Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 I've just started this campaign, and it looks great! However, I am a little confused by certain aspects of Mission 01. Firstly, no matter how quickly I form up behind Saint on the carrier for take-off, before I have even taken off, we get the 'call this formation?... is this what they taught you in Top Gun...'. etc. In fact, if I delay taking off, Saint just carries on with the dialogue about the Iranian ship, staying here for the training, etc. This doesn't seem right. Is there not a trigger going wrong somewhere? Also, on 2 or 3 occasions when trying to get a perfect score, Saint had crashed landed back on the carrier, and I was unable to land! Lastly, what do you need to do to get a perfect score in this mission? I keep getting 90 although everything seemed OK.

sigfan86 Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Saint is a dbag in the book, im pretty sure it's meant to illustrate how no matter what you do, saint will have something to say about what you do System: Ryzen 5900x, G.Skill 3600 32GB, MSI 4090 suprim liquid X, samsung odyssey+ headset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imacken Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Sure, I get that, but I don’t think that’s what’s happening as the action goes on with the same dialogue all the way through even if you haven’t taken off.

baltic_dragon Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Hey Imacken. In a nutshell - Saint is an extremely annoying guy. Unless you fly a perfect formation on his wing, he will not loose any opportunity to trash you. You should not delay your take off, as you would not in real life - and since things are timed here depending on where Saint is, you just need to do everything by the book, otherwise the mess would be even bigger. So no, no missing triggers here. Do note that this is not a norm throughout the campaign, but in some missions where you are a part of larger packages you just have to play your role and be on time, nobody will be waiting for you. As for Saint hitting the waves - well, he is a s***ty pilot, but not that bad, this is just the DCS AI. Try to keep the fight above 12-15K... Scoring - I think there is a difference in what you choose as an aswer after Saint’s mishap with the Iranians Hope this helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imacken Posted February 21, 2021 Author Share Posted February 21, 2021 Thanks BD. I think my point is that he says the same thing regardless of where I am or what I am doing. He asks about the SAM launch even though my hornet is still on the deck! (I only delayed take off to see what would happen to the dialogue/plot). I would have thought that the dialogue could at least be timed with my take off. Re scoring, I always back him up and still get 90! A couple of other points. Often, the SAM launch dialogue doesn't happen and Saint just goes into the defensive climb. Also, his 56X A/A TACAN doesn't work. Don't know if it is supposed to or not.

cm2 Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 (edited) I flew really close to him throughout his entire jinking maneuver with the sam thing and after I answered that I will not back him up with the sam thing (and still flying really close to him when answering him on the sam) he said I am too far from him and yet he never said i was too far away at all before with this same distance to his fighter during the mission. and I picked all the answers that challenged his authority as lead too for the previous 2 options lol. The guy does not deserve his lead post and I have zero respect for the character. Edited March 15, 2021 by cm2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cm2 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 (edited) I was curious on "Saint"s comment on flying not close enough to him so I flew the mission again and he said the same thing again, once, just like before after answering on not backing him up with his sam thing even though I was flying really close to him like before with the same distance during the entire mission (minus when dogfighting him).

baltic_dragon Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 If you are close, he won't say anything. And for him it has to be really close. If this is annoying then it means it worked, as Saint is a super annoying guy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this is annoying then it means it worked, as Saint is a super annoying guy! It's already really close, any closer i would collide with him. and he didn't complain about it during the entire mission with the same distance to him with the exception after I answered on the sam thing, suddenly he said i am flying too far from him once.

imacken Posted May 4, 2021 Author Share Posted May 4, 2021 Through observation, ‘loose’ for ‘lose’ is the most common misspelling of an English verb for non native speakers that I have seen, especially in Scandinavia and the Baltic States. Never really understood why.

Hippo Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 (edited) It may just be me, but it seems to be everywhere, even amongst native English speakers. Probably spreading through imitation.

RoGaR Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) Hey I started a campaign too, and it looks amazing. The documentation is also excellent. However I cannot score 100 points. It's always 80. I managed to get just one warning for the the formation on the route back. It's the formation what gives you the score point? And I have one more strange issue. Saint do not fight with me. After separation I fly to west (as it was fragged), Tapes on, Turning hot, his aircraft disappears and the is another one which is not fighting at all. I fire my both of my sidewinders (space bar) and SIM guns too. I get "knock it off" and fly to south heading (as it was briefed). Am I doing something wrong? Thank you for any advice BTW I managed _OK_#3, so where I lost so many points? Small remark: The mission QNH is 2988 but there is 2990 in kneeboard.

baltic_dragon Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 That is weird that he doesn't fight. yes, he spawns as agressor to make sure that he does attack, I will check if I can reproduce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes I had the same issue, however, I think I have found out what the problem is. In cold start stage, when I trying to hide the stick and pressing BACKSPACE, the stick was not hidden, instead, the message "When you are ready, use F-10 menu for radio check with Saint. He will start taxing to the CAT around 30 seconds later." disappeared. A few seconds later, another message "Use SPACE BAR to indicate good hit with the guns. Use F10 menu if Saint hits you. You can also break the training when you hit JOKER." appeared, which should emerge later in the training stage. Also, an additional option "F2. SAINT hit you (2)" came to the F-10 menu. After that, Saint would not become hostile and fight with me in the training. In the mission report below, two Iranian helicopters were started even when I was still on the deck, which should be started later after the training. If I don't press BACKSPACE, nothing is going to be wrong. So I think the problem is that the BACKSPACE pressing unexpectedly triggers something.

Photon Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 (edited) My main issue with mission 1 is that Saint goes below 5,000 feet all the time. Wish there would be some trigger where you could "call it off" because Saint is playing around underground. Think I played mission 1 4 times or so, saint got below 5,000 feet on every attempt. The moment I go 4,990 feet we call it off, but when he's skimming the waves no one bats an eye Edited August 20, 2021 by Photon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baltic_dragon Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 I tried to add a safeguard telling him to climb above 10K as soon as he got to 6K, but that lead to him splashing into the sea - which is way worse than just passing hard deck. Also, Saint being himself would probably not admit that he just broke the rules, so this is kind of "realistic" for Raven One.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
