THEATER DESCRIPTION

BATTLE FOR LAPLAND

F16 models and skins including aggressor skins are Jan Has’, all credits go to him.

I have made new models for NTO PV and some are included in this add on (NH90, CH53E, OH6, OH58, C17, Il76, A50, MV22, Ka28).

CAMPAIGN DESCRIPTION

2 Sides BLUE and RED

FLOT N-S

Victory can be achieved either by attrition or objective capture. Attrition takes into account ground units only with the ratio 2/1. Objectives see screenshot.

Campaign time out after 21 days

Campaign will use a simplified trigger file with only tempo boost, victory conditions (objective and/or attrition) and timeout.

Priorities will be set to DCA only so that the AI will fly CAP type flights only, all A2G is up to the players.

Exceptions are CAS and BAI carried out by attack helicopters.

No player controlled AI flights

No player controlled ground units

Loadouts (all): as close to real life as possible, don’t expect fancy loadouts.

Additional info: F16CM40/50 Aggr will appear as 29 on the RWR, there are no MiG29 squadrons so the BLUE side players will know a 29 means F16 human controlled.

@Mower Yeah TvT as Archer mentioned has been running continuously for the last 33 days… only a few days left of this war in Lapland. Your free to still register and partake. Most of the voice channels and TvT channels on our discord will only be available to see when you register to fly… Been a busy campaign with flyers from all over the world. Everyday full of action. If you want to wait for the next one…shouldn’t be too long, maybe a few weeks break after this one. See you there…

I just jumped in a jet against Mig29 X 4. Shot using TWS which is the least accurate mode due to considerably reduced radar updates…

3 tracked - although third missile close to not tracking
1 missed - rightfully so!

I’m not seeing an issue?

@EuKeule Share the ACMI publicly. Would love to see what’s going on in them. Considering the heavy in depth testing that was done on the considerably improved missile, we saw nothing but great results (if fired properly and supported properly), huge improvements with missile track and terminal guidance. As Sandman mentioned above…‘the magic missiles you had in the past are gone because they were wrong’. Now the missiles also miss when they should miss and ‘should’ hit when you put them in their best possible parameters to hit…obviously there are many factors that need to be taken into account to get a hit.

Share the acmi so we can all take a look! Also give us some more info, what mode you launched in, fully supported to pitbull? Over a networked connection or SP? … answer maybe in the details… rest we will see in the acmi’s including range, aspect, altitude, energy, etc…

Falcon Online TvT “Battle For Lapland” will officially will start on Friday the 3rd of Feb at 12:00 zulu. To sign up please go to our Discord https://discord.gg/YGFV4buc and go to #registration and choose a side (blue or red) if you wish to partake. All level of pilots are welcome. Falcon Online specialize is Team Versus Team events. Hope to see you all there soon!

@cougar56th Thanks Couger for the detailed reply. Greatly appreciated.

@unleashedcode said in U1 Texture issue:

@Manos1981 Thanks for the update. Flagged for me as it is also a different size to the original .36.

.37 Balkans, .37 Israel, and other .37 theatres are still using the old .36 .dds texture by the way. I assume the 3993.dds is exactly the same image content but saved with different encoding and compression… I can’t open it in Gimp? Problem is… having to assume!

You may want to document these changes so campaign creators know. Internally they need updating too.

Disregard for Balkans… they updated it in their U1 patch and also documented it : Fixed HUD texture (green circle) very subtle and square shape.

Kudos to Couger

@MaxWaldorf Negative… stock

Hi Guys,

4.37 U1 Texture 3993.dds is corrupt. I have also applied the hotfix 1 which Max released yesterday but this still doesn’t fix the issue.
I have checked two other peoples installs and their 3993.dds was also corrupt.

Thought I would let you guys know.

In the meantime I just copied and patched it from an old 4.36 install.

Cheers
