Recommended Posts

VMFA-531 Mission Pack III (20-24 April 1965) for WOV


VMFA-531 Mission Pack III, for Wings Over Vietnam (WOV)

This pack covers missions flown by Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 531 (VMFA-531) between the dates of April 20 through April 24, 1965. Where possible I have tried to keep as close as possible to the historical write-up of Mike Wanamaker and Lee R. De haven, given the constraints of the publicly available aircraft and ground objects in WOV. Where necessary, certain pre-requisites are used.

 

Update to V1.1

Set all drone ground targets to use Nation=DRONE value, to stop game engine automatically (randomly) using them in VietnamSEA terrain on some missions, other than gunnery practice mission. Updated installation instructions accordingly.

 

Update V1.20

This mod has been updated on request to remove direct links to any Capun and A-team prerequisite models. Instead please contact Capun for access - details enclosed.

 

Missions Included in this Pack

This pack contains the following missions:

1. [650420]#94605 – target a troop concentration and knock out a ‘possible’ gun emplacement

2. [650420]#94606 – target houses and trucks either side of a river

3. [650420]#94607 – target buildings and trenches either side of a highway

4. [650420]#94608 – target buildings, trails and VC troops in a wooded area

5. [650420]#94674 – target a VC hamlet

6. [650420]#94675 – target a separate VC hamlet

7. [650421]#94684+ - carry out in-flight refuelling training due to bad weather in target area. Also practice a bad weather approach and landing

8. [650421]#94686 – target a network of trails in a heavily wooded area

9. [650421]#94687 – carry out a Flaming Arrow helicopter escort mission, then divert to assist a FAC and attack a suspected armament repair building

10. [650421]#94687b – act out the role of the FAC in the previous mission in a ‘bird dog’ O-1E, returning to Phu Cat

11. [650422]#94688 – take part in another Flaming Arrow escort mission and clear the LZ by attacking VC troops dug in along a ridge line

12. [650423]531 Formation Training – carry out squadron-level formation flying training due to heavy ordnance restrictions

13. [650423]531 Gunnery Training – carry out live gunnery training on a specially prepared practice range, again due to heavy ordnance restrictions

14. [650424]#94982 – target VC transportation assets

15. [650424]#94983 – target VC-controlled buildings

 

For each mission NAV waypoints are defined to guide you to the target area and back to your home base.

Beyond excellent as always.

Just one question; is there a reason why ALT+N causes CTD?

In the least happens to me...

Not a big deal since missions ar emore than worth to be flown 1:1, I am just curious what is the reason

Thank you

Hi Canadair, you ask a good question and it has come up before. I'm afraid I'm not sure why single missions (or at least some) do this. I vaguely remember someone posting this before in the forums but can't recall the answer, if there is one.

 

Let me open it up - Can anyone help here?

 

For myself I simply accelerate time with ALT+T to fast forward to the action if the flight is a long one, and then reset with ALT+R back to normal time when I'm near the target - certainly this helps with testing the longer missions ;-).

 

(Certainly most missions contain timed events - such as aircraft taking off after a certain time - but I'm not sure if this is a factor).

 

Sorry I can't be more help but if I come across a fix then future missions will feature it - and perhaps if I find the time I'll retrofit the fix to my previous work.

 

One plan for the future is to collate the entire set of VMFA-531 mission packs, when they're complete, into a single download and make everything consistent throughout the master pack, such as installation instructions and mission briefings. Anyway, that's a future job.

 

In the mean time, all the best, regards,

 

comrpnt. :-)

had also the alt+n crash, removed the A310 with le missioneur from the mission and it worked and case this isn t enough remove also the static airplanes. worked for me

 

 

 

unfortunately i have another problem, all the helis are removed from CA and can only be found on the A team site - BUT, they give the files ONLY to selected ppl :( 

 

tried some workarounds with placeholders, but i would like to fly it in the planned way.

 

thx for your nice missions  :good:

Jaeger, here you go, not historically correct but an alternative all the same.

 

Download and Install Gramp et al's UH-1H from here: http://forum.combatace.com/index.php?autoc...p;showfile=2567

Out of the limited helicopter choices available at CA, this one behaves best when controlled under AI.
