Sounds good John, thank you for sharing this. Will love to see more work from the INF beta server.

Uploading the coop missions to the CiA ACE coop server!

[SavageCDN 231]

looks interesting can never have too many ACE missions...thanks for sharing!

[INF_MIke64 53]

Thanks guys, nothing as of yet looking to create a mission using my Skyhook script, though for now I have to study.

[kilrbe3 37]

Played this with my buddy for 4hrs tonight, great mission. But..... Few things.

I know its just ACE being ACE, but you get black screen from blacking out way to much. There is also a bug sometimes were once you get the black out screen, sometimes it wont go away even once you level out or whatever. Even with a respawn it's still there. We had to get in a plane, and just crash and it reset. Don't know if that's ACE being ACE, or bug in mission.

Also; we couldn't find how UAV hub / trailer to control the MQ-9.

Another issue we had with "Infantry" area, is they seem to run and hide and to kill them all you need to go back to base and get a Chopper and just like hover to find them. Kind of annoying if your out bombing stuff with jets and bomb that town. We spent like 20mins trying to fly by an find infantry, couldn't find them, than even got a Chopper and still couldn't find em. Just gave up and moved on to another Objective.

The carrier; whats on it exactly? We couldn't get objective complete either, I saw maybe Two AA tanks and 4-5 AA guns? That's a tad much in my opinion.

Besides that, excellent mission. I will be playing this a lot more solo too to practice flying and just have fun.

Thanks for playing it for so long, feedback is always helpful, i'll give you some answers:

1: Blackouts as far as i know have not been solved without a full addon (believe shacktack have one).

2: If you respawn with part blackout effect its a bug in ACE, just wait about 30 seconds and it should clear

3: UAV is though the Radio so people can actually fly it, though the way ACE weapon system works its useless for attacking anything.

4: The infantry is more of a helicopter objective, using thermals does help so do cluster bombs.

5: The objective of the carrier is to destroy all AA defenses and Aircraft in the sky and on deck.

The objective system is a bit crude on that map and has not been fully tested, given more bugs and errors it may warrant another version and i can fix it then.

[kilrbe3 37]

Thanks man, Didn't even think of the Radio, durr.

BTW: Fallujah has a problem, soon as the map loads "MISSION COMPLETE" comes up and 10secs later END screen.

Just to ask tho, have you added the ACE_RU and ACE_USNavy to the CMD line on the server?

[marker 1]

Yeah mate :)

Really weird, it is like it doesn't see the mod!

All folders are correct, checked and check. Got someone else to check in case I was being dumb!

Still the same!

[rhyswilliams999 10]

just run it on my own server, runs just fine... try running your server and looking at the list of mods showing on the browser in game.

Edit: been looking further through the list of addons needed,and seems that @opx-objects is also needed. Not sure if its actually needed or just list as needed by the mission. (Had this problem before on one my owm missions where it was asking for the L119 Len weapons mod)

Completely flummoxed me...

Can you list the mods running please, just incase I have missed something out!

Thanks

Seems like i'm a bit of a derp, I'm running one of the older versions of the mission and John says he's already eliminated that problem

Hi guys,

Quick update on the plans for this mission pack. Me and the rest of Iron-fists have fallen in love with Taviana Island so we decided to make a lots of bombs map. We also have plans for Lingor and panthera, maybe a TVT* as well. Along side this I have been working to improve the performance my reducing the amount of groups, (same amount of units and targets) this should also improve the AI's coordination.

As always we will be testing the missions on our Iron-Fists testing server, it is locked so if you want to help us out in testing jump on our TS and talk to either me (INF_Mike64) or INF_Rhys about it.

ts info:http://www.tsviewer.com/index.php?page=ts_viewer&ID=945708

*what do you prefer TVT or COOP?

[INF_MIke64 53]

Its been some time and there has been lots of testing, now finally down to small things before public release. Lingor and Taviana maps are done and the old maps have also been updated features include.

- Recruit-able pilots

- new "honeycomb" aircraft bays

- ropes box

- dedicated server unit caching improves server FPS by 8-10.

- air patrol parameter.

- EASA now allows all armaments on any jet ((Not restricted to Blufor or Opfor)

- More advanced ships on new maps.

- lots of other little fixes.

[[frl]myke 14]

@Perfk

you're missing the ACR content. Either you buy the full version of ACR or you go with the light version (low res textures and sounds).

[perfk 1]

Thanks for the reply Myke.

I got it to work, never heard of the acr dlc, so thanks for telling me about that one. (one more dlc added to the box :) )

anyway, sadly i know that i wont be able to get all of my friends to buy it, and well, some of them even to install the light version. - could you make it without the acr units? - or mabye give me permission to alter your version?
