Thanks for your feedback! I also noticed I forgot "a couple of things" and all the issues are sorted:
- there is a respawn marker @ the airbase
- civilian vehicles are spawned if you want to drive back (out of the airbase marker only)
- view distance is now a mission parameter

I also added many other small things.
Thanks and have fun! Tell me if you think of something else :-)

I think that is a war crime maybe just a fade to black and teleport might be better as the other alternative (crashing with the plane, dying and respawning) is faster with a respawn at base.

At first I wanted to have an automatic helicopter taxi coming to pick you up but I couldn't figure a proper FSM quickly.
After that I wanted to leave the choice to the player: he can choose to force-respawn, drive back, or have other players come and pick him up!
I admit, I didn't check war crimes with IDAP first…

Feedback - I'll just add to this thread to avoid duplicates.

Introduction and overall feel of the initial mission (briefing, map drawings, ect) could use just a bit of upgrade. Maybe just go with NATO vs American? Just sorta my opinion on it.

Gameplay:
Dynamic spawned air threats and such is faaaantastic. This is the Jets DLC showcase we really needed.

I think this could be further expanded into dealing with potential none-combat style missions as well. Intercepting and IDing a civilian aircraft, Search and rescue direction for ground teams, ect.

I +1 the SOAR helicopter rescue option once you eject.

If possible for SP mode, to have AI squadmates spawn in with you for multi-role vehicles, then despawn if you die or get out.

I would also love to see a AAF and CSAT variant as well!

First, thanks for all the good words!

Regarding other tasks, they are in the back of my mind. Right now, the task system I setup only works with "targets", so I first plan(ned) to add bases and camps, then maybe add search (& rescue?) missions.

Regarding the AI spawning in SP, I love the idea so consider it done ;-)

First of all I really like your mission! It's a fun and inetresting way to use Arma's jets.

However I have one issue:
Enemy jets and sometimes helicopters often fly straight into the airport, where they are then destroyed by the Anti-Air. Would it be possible to have them only spawn/patrol far enough away from the airport, it's sometimes a bit boring when you are preparing for some air-to-air combat and the enemy is just shot down by the AA.

I am aware of this behaviour, and "not coming around the airport" is a bit problematic as the place is quite central to Altis - I actually had to reduce the airbase's AA range to 3km otherwise ¾ of the island was covered…!
It is currently up to the task generation randomness; in a future newer version of the tasks system, I will make sure they spawn/fly around but not directly over the airport.

After a quick thinking, I will try to reduce the airport AA's range and involvement.
I want AA at the airport so an AI helicopter doesn't stop by and keeps killing players/taking off airplanes without a chance of retaliation! I might instead add AA pods for players - I will check.

Thanks for the response! I am exicited to see the next updates!

I actually just added the option to replace AA armor by AA pods - works lovely!
I fix a couple of other things and should release ASAP. Thanks again for the suggestion, I am always open to them!

Hey, I have been having this issue for a while now. Sometimes the ennemy vehicules just crash and the task doesn't end, like if there is still a ennemy alive but after looking around with thermals at all heights none are to be found.... (exemple: rotary wings task)

Btw I love the dynamic mission, it helps me to learn how CAS works. I would love to see a harder mission like this (cmon we all love getting shot down by 5 AA) :)

Can't wait for the next update!

Hi there! This is weird, I (rarely) had an issue where the task marker would disappear but the task would remain until you kill the last enemies then it would turn as completed; if you kill all enemies, do you still see the task marker (and if so, where is it)?
I don't have much more to add to this mission, so unless suggestions arise it should be bugfixes only. Again, open to suggestions :)

PS: thanks for your comment!

Here is where it happend, shot down 1 helicopter then the other one disapeared and the marker stopped moving:

Now that's weird… I'll try to debug that one. It seems that the marker got -deleted- instead, no?

I restarted the mission sincce but just gave you the location of it. I will try to record when i do this mission and send you the vid when that happens again.
