Campaign

[icebrain]

Is there any way for different loadout settings to be used for different theaters? Or will a new F-16 model be created for ODS, without things like LGB's, HARM, and AIM-120?

[Snake Man]

I think its possible by editing squadron stores. Hmm gotta browse through this forum and check out the equimpent list what to remove, if I can find one.

Of course if you have some list handy there, feel free to post it here

Things to remove:

From all a/c: AIM-120 (not yet in service)

F-16
GBU-xx (no ability to self-designate during ODS; JDAM/JSOW not in service)
AGM-88 (except on certain block 30)

F-15
J-weapons
GBU-28 (not cleared at that time)

F-14
Consider removing AIM-54 (ROE prevented it from being used)

F-18
GBU-xx (no ability to self-designate during ODS; JDAM/JSOW not in service)
AIM-120
CBU-97

B-52
All J-weapons, AGM-84E, AGM-142

A-6 should have inner HP brought up to 6 bombs (Mk-82/20)

AFAIK, some Block 40/42 F-16s made it in ODS, i think about 7 or 17 i dont remember was the number, if needed i have the Wings Desert Storm series to watch.

[icebrain]

The B-40/42s were there in ODS, but either they didn't have the targeting pod (as Rosie's squadron didn't) or they weren't cleared to self designate. I seem to rememeber seeing that the first time an F-16 self-designated an LGB (other than the YF-16 using an ATLIS pod back during EMD) was in '94. I think the TGPs were reserved for the -15E's.

Also, I had very little air activity in the latest beta of the theater. Only a few barcaps, and F-15E strikes with F-16 escorts (!). We will need to do something to the tasking to keep the -16 units flying a/g, and we need to include some -15C squads. The A-6 squads aren't working either; need some Harrier/E-2 squadrons...

[Zaggy]

If i remember right, they also had limited numbers of a/c with slammer capability as well...

And the Spangdahlem F-16C's carried HARMS, working in hunter-killer teams with the last F-4G's... They also used a CBU loadout too.. The F-4G's would kill the radar or at least make it shut down and the F-16C's would CBU the Radars and SAM's...

[icebrain]

The slammer was, IIRC, captive carried by some F-15C's at the end of the war.

As for -16s and HARMS, one or two B30 squadrons carried them; they worked in teams with the F-4G.

Medal can this be in ODS when the campaign is finished? Also

About Slammer, we can edit sq store, limit the supply at very low level for specific sq.

dunno who's in charge of the sqadron/TacEdit task for ODS, there's a nice excel list by Red Dog, containing info of airbase and a/c deployed( though no detailed a/c quantity and their sq name/number), should help data editing.

and Medals, yes, we should deserve some decoration

[Ender Wiggin]

I could, if i had the names of the squadrons, ie 122nd FW. List them all or email me the list and i can see what i can do, i dont know how to add them to the campaign, but i can make them for logbook.

[ccc]

yup, the key point is, we need info collectors/ researchers. Each theater needs vigorous info support.

A while ago i collected/tweaked some skins for ODS' first public release, hell hard to find correct info. Frankly some skins are incorrect or wont fit into the scene.

God knows what we can do, even Snake Man cant do theater from A to Z, let alone reserch part.

we need info researchers/collectors.

and patch things, i'd like to check how Balkan handle this... like i said, ODS will need at least 150 "SET" of a/c skins, means more than 150 sq there. patch number too..if we want total realism.

[Ender Wiggin]

Do you know which ones? i could get started tomorrow.

[ccc]

check this thread first:
http://www.pmctactical.org/f4/cgi-bin/u ... 3&t=000073

be sure to get that list. see what sq you can recognize and find their patches(for campaign in 1991).

[Ender Wiggin]

I dont have excel, wish i did, is it possible to have it in a text format, or something my computer can read? I dont have MS office at all.

[ccc]

Plain txt on you way.

[Ender Wiggin]

Thx CCC, im gonna hit the sack, its 1 in the morning here, i got school tomorrow, but ill check it out when i get home around 1700 EST
