SilPass Missions March 98
by front and D.Allen Smith
1. This Mission set is a collection of 6 missions
using ROE (Rules of Engagement) which you will be familiar with. You fight
NKAF fighters (Mig-21s, Mig-23s, and Su-27s) using guns and Sidewinders.
The first pass you make is silent ie. do not open fire on the merge. You
can use the missions to practise for online fighting even though you face
more capable bogeys online. When the first pass is silent and the bogeys
do not acquire you pre-merge then you can have a tougher "dogfight"
against the computer-controlled opponents. This "silent-pass"
setting is not available from within the internal missions editor.
2. Hornet Two (your wingman) is present and you
fight against pairs of bogeys in all the missions. The odd numbered missions
are "guns-only", the even numbered are "Sidewinders-only".
3. As you will see from the mission template there
are also 3 infra-red guided SAM sites beside the Imjin river, and either
a Mig-23 or a Mig-27 in the north of the theatre (heading south). This
Mig-23 or Mig-27 will not switch on his radar at all even if you engage
him but will acquire you visually. These object settings are not available
from within the internal missions editor.
4. Please do not make changes to the mission using
the editor. Saving any changes you make will cause the mission objects
to revert back to the editor defaults. You will then get normal mission
editor bogey and SAM behaviour.
5. MacOS only... Use the SilPass005.rpl replay
included to see how that mission can be run. Though the mission was guns
only Dave could'nt resist the "Fox Two" on the trailing Su-27.
Watch how he "snakes" around the SAM sites. His wingman flamed
out near the Imjin river. |
