Israel Theater Release
-
THX for all the work
Great theater
-
GBU-15 has proved to be a suitable weapon for taking on SAMs for me, but I presume usage of this weapon is frowned upon due to its improper modeling :neutral: .
This also makes it very inconvenient to use, as the display has insufficient magnification for longer ranges. -
I have an issue with helicopters in Israel Theatre. Although in flight planner I’ve assigned them to fly at 100ft or 1000ft at max, they fly above 20.000ft and after a while suddenly they drop to 5000ft and then again to 10.000ft and so on. It happens with all helos both in 2D and 3D.
Any ideas?
-
@Mistic J
Are those helos that you aded via Mission Commander ?
I am asking because i tried to add some AH-64D’s in the default KTO, and when trying to create flight plans for them to go attack a tank unit, my BMS started to act weird. The squadron namaes were all gone (for the helos), and after creating 5 flight plans my BMS CTD’s.
Dunno if it is a helo problem in BMS in general.
-
The helos are added within BMS, te_new.tac. In Korea they work ok.
-
Confirmed for 2D. In 3D (once deagg), the helis descend to their assigned altitude. If you do see high alt flying in 3D too please post acmi.
We will look into this.Cheers
-
Hi Echo. They dont appear at high alt in acmi. Only at low. As if they dont exist before. In 3D they behave exactly like 2D
-
FYI, in Battle of Sinai theatre they work ok too. I believe theater.mea should be updated again.

Hello echo, been busy but did get flights in occasionally. Anyway day 5 about 0900 hrs. I think I ran into a stumpling block.
Still playing everything ace, I dont have enough ground forces to win ( well, lets say, theyre all defending something and I cant get them to move ) .
Tryed assignments in 2d map,they move, than back to defend after about a minute.
ground war not moving at all, only thing left is capture beirut, everything around beirut destroyed.
Just cant seem to change orders for a unit or two from defend current position to attack, changes then reverts back.
What am I missing ?
With the odds of 4 to 1, it was a good campaign, kinda hate to stop but unless I can change a ground unit to move - –-
I have troops defending deep in home territory that i could sent up to attack beirut but cant change theyre orders.
Or is it just the way I ran the campaign, set by hq off.
As far as i can tell, you were right about using ace settings, hmmm -
@ oldtommyboy,
Go back and read post #167. Maybe you forgot since your an old fart! :uham: I couldn’t resist after reading some of the posts in your old farts thread. I definitely qualify for that group, but at 42 I’m still in the shallow end.
You may not see the ground troops in Beirut on the 2D map or the recon images, but believe me they are there. I think it is mainly an arty battalion that is keeping your troops outside Beirut at bay.

Ha ha. Yep, i know the aaa is there, just cant get a battalion to move.
I ll mess around, tryed getting flight to attack beriut but they refused.
Maybe i ll take some cbu s on my own.
even tryed dropping in air mobile. Didnt work. -
Manual tasking of ground units doesn’t work in BMS.
It is possible there aren’t enough troops for a final offensive action on ace settings. But do make sure Beirut is clean from enemy forces before giving up on this campaign. -
roger,thx
-
Trust me, they will move into Beirut after the threat is gone, but don’t let the grass grow under your feet…when I figured it out it was Day 6 and the campaign ended in stalemate. Ran the same campaign again and when Beirut was surrounded (somewhere around Day 3 I think) I just started adding packages to that city. On the second mission there got a lot of kills and while planning a third one my troops that had stalled ran right in and ended the campaign with a victory!
-
Hell, i only have one battalion close to beriut.most are in syria, the rest down in israel, why- i dont know.
-
Sorry if I missed it…but is there an incremental patch to go from 0.99 to 0.991 or only the full installer.
Thanks in advance!
I really enjoyed flying TE’s in 0.99!!

Only a full installer for version 0.991 is available, which you can install on top of 0.99. We made a patch available for a short time after the release of 0.991 but it is not supported anymore (IIRC because of possible installation issues).
-
I love this theater it’s just simply magnificent.
Echo7 and your team thanks a bunch!!! -
Finally finished the Israeli campaign with a win. I did review this thread ahead of time which helped. One thing that I was able to do (some say could not do it) was to manually assign a unit to capture Beirut. Like most said, the unit would go forward and then move back. However, I did not give up and kept manually assigning the unit to capture Beirut…after the fourth time, they finally got the message and moved in and captured Beirut. I had cleared out the enemy in Beirut myself prior to assigning the unit.

I’m sorry if this has been asked before, but is there a model database & cockpit parents list for this theatre? Thanks in advance.
