Mission Information

Post by Telson »

Hi guys
I am in the process of editing a mission and cant use the template as it breaks a few things, So I need to manualy edit it to fit with RAF Air.
Is there a list of call signs, radio frequesncies etc for each squadron, I cant seem to find one.
Thanks

There are no fixed allocations of callsigns or frequencies.

There is a list of DCS-allowed callsigns - the Mission Builder will insist on you using those. There are also some Squadron preferences. In real life callsigns attached to specific roles etc are frowned on.

Similarly DCS allocates some frequencies to bases and other DCS operations. But again there is nothing set in stone.

There was a Matrix set up by RAF Air but I am not sure that it is observed.

Based on mission night I know the Harrier flight is allways Colt and there is a prefered radio preset for chanels 1-25 based on the map.
Do other Squadrons have a preferance.

I use the comms matrix, I can dig it out for you later.
It's easier if you use that, then you know it will works with each module.

Comms Matrix


If you are planning on writing a mission for the whole group that's excellent. However we are trying to shape it into a standard format that we would like to achieve each week.
Let me know if I can be any help.

Thank you for the comms matrix.
The mission I am working is the one I am hosting on my own server, its a persistant mission so the progress is always saved and you can jump on anytime and carry on where you left off.

Did I see a post about Helicopter ops help for your mission?
Let me know, we have a good ctld script now which also adds weight when you pick up troops.
