New scenario for testing PF#4, I come from a land Down Under

[Gunner98]

Is there actually a way to get those Hueys to Brunei?

Yes, but it is not intuitive and has risk. One of the SH-70s on the Newcastle can deploy to either the Westralia or the Stancliffe. The Huey will then be able to park on the Newcastle and switch later.

It does give the added benefit of an ASW Heli (without reloads) either on the independent Westralia or really beefing up the main convoy with the best heli you have. The SH-70 also has the best legs

thanks for your points, I'll fix and get out an update. Really not sure about the convoy, it did seem to work for me. Perhaps the Ocean Tug is the problem... I'll get rid of him.

[RSMC]

You can actually get both Hueys on the Newcastle if you send both SH-70s to Westralia.

I sent one S-70 to the Westralia and one to the SS PleaseDon'tShootMe

Just wanted to thank AndrewJ for all the AAR style reviews. They are both informative and entertaining.

Thanks!

Agree!

[AndrewJ]

Fun to play too! [:)]

A fun suggestion the Philippines had F8 Crusaders till 1988 a few could be brought back into action with maybe a few American F8s being brought back from the boneyard to reinforce and as attrition replacements also the American F8s have a ground attack capability which might be needed

[Gunner98]

I had not realized that, but you're right, well spotted. Just checking this from Wiki:

But due to lack of spares and the rapid deterioration of the aircraft, the remaining F-8s were grounded in 1988 and left on an open grass field at Basa Air Base[clarification needed]. They were finally withdrawn from service in 1991 after they were badly damaged by the Mount Pinatubo eruption, and have since been offered for sale as scrap

So I think we could arrange for replacements from the Boneyard for all of them. Looking in the DB the only choices available are the French (all with R.550 Magic msls) or the F-8H of the Philippine AF. None of the American versions are available in DB-3000. Perhaps we could get either the 'J', 'K' or perhaps the hypothetical 'M' transferred over.

For US aircraft the numbers are incredibly small: 61x 'L', 87x 'K', 136x'J', 89x 'H'. So almost half of the 'H' were already used by the Philippines (35) and given the high attrition of the day( In all, 1,261 Crusaders were built. By the time it was withdrawn from the fleet, 1,106 had been involved in mishaps.[14]) I doubt there would be a usable number left so that's why I'm leaning to 'J'.

You can’t go wrong with The Last Gunfighter!

[Gunner98]

Ok here is an update. I think I've fixed most of the issues pointed out.

The convoy is now working and the whole thing runs fairly well on my system.

Please get back to me with any issues, particularly if the performance is still lagging. I can remove a lot more stuff if needed.

[RSMC]

Performance seems to be OK so far. 2 minor points. Exocet reloads in Brunei are MM40, the patrol boats take MM38s. There may need to be an ammo pad or magazine on Christmas Island, I sent two ASW loaded P-3 and the loadout vanished on landing.

[Gunner98]

Nice catch, thanks

[RSMC]

One more small thing - the Soviet Naval Strike by the Mig-29s is set to max strike radius of 0nm.

[Gunner98]

Anything else on this one guys? Plan to wrap it up this weekend.

[Gunner98]

OK guys this one is a wrap. Thanks for your help.

The F-111s should be there, that Lua action was working. I'll have to take another look

6x F-111 and 2x RF-111

I assume this was fixed? I've just downloaded the latest CSP and the F-111s aren't present at Amberley. I've run the game for 30 seconds but these units haven't appeared.

Thanks

I just played this a few weeks ago and they appeared. They don't pop up until at least a day or two into the scenario.

Sorry, been away. Yes that one was fixed.
