Linebacker III Campaign

[Ruiner29]

I did have a good look at the target by pressing F8 and there wasn't anything on the ground but the marker.

No amount of bombing would destroy it so obviously there's nothing there.

My 3 wingmen and I turned the area into a bunch of craters and nothing was destroyed.

I even tried giving everyone a s**tload of small bombs and we carpet bombed to area to no effect.

 

Sometime today I will try a full reinstall, patch, and mod.

I'll let you know what happens with that.

Can't think of what else to try.

 

As for the weapon settings I always set them to hard.

flight model = hard

Hud = easy

Radar = easy

landing and collision = hard

fuel and ammo = normal

 

overall campaign difficulty and length is set to normal.

 

Again, it only happens during the first F-18c mission.

Just strange !

Hey guys,

 

Don't see any posts with questions, so I'm assuming that no new issues have arrisen over the last couple weeks. I'm still working on the final release, which will probably be ready within the next couple weeks. There are no real major changes... mostly just made adjustments to the target priorities and target_types.ini to rework the way the campaign plays out. Also added some more additional aircraft (all available from CA):

 

B-52H (AI only)

F-14D

MIG-25P (AI only)

 

I hate to keep tacking on requirements that users will have to download separately (I always find that to be a turn off when evaluating whether or not to install a mod), but I think the AI aircraft add to the immersion and the F-14D is fun to fly and was around during this time period.

 

I'm also making a sort of change log to track the difference between the beta and final release, so that those that have already downloaded and installed the beta can just swap out the necessary new files and not completely re-install.

 

Also, if anyone's played through a campaign to the end, I'm curious to know if the North Vietnemese seem to run out of aircraft toward the end or not. I want to make sure I have enough squadrons in there to keep things fun.

If anyone's interested, v1.0 of Linebacker III was uploaded a couple weeks ago.

 

I just updated the file again to fix some ground war issues. If you've already installed v1.0, all you need to install is the new LBIII_data.ini file and the new VietnamSEA_targets.ini.

 

Thanks for playin'!

Sorry, screwed up the FOB for the AV-8B's. Had to update again. Get the latest campaign data.ini and targets.ini out of the latest upload.
