Using the Dogfight Module for ACM training allows for many, quick repetitions in a repeating setup.
Contents
Server Setup
- Moderator starts IVC Server and BMS Server (BMS Server doesn't need to be in 3D)
- Players join Server lobby
- Each flight is "hosted on the server" by a "Flight Host" (preferably Roster)
- We divide the players into reasonable flights with good distribution of experience
- Each flight gets a callsign assigned: Claw1, Mongo1, Bull1, Nimrod1, Blazer1
- IVC check with everybody in the lobby
- Briefing
Game Setup
- Each "Flight Host" starts a game online, and sets everything up:
- Dogfight - Match Play - Uncheck "Unlimited Guns" and "ECM" - BVR Tactic: "Random" - Range: 50 NM (more distance is better to set everything up) - Altitude: 20000 FT - Points: 20 (we'll end the game after a set time) - Radar Missiles: 0 - All-aspect IR Missiles: 0 - Rear-aspect IR Missiles: 2
- On the Red Team, create flights until you get your assigned callsign, make sure it's F-16s
- Join the flight with the assigned callsign, and delete the other flights
- On the Orange Team, create a Bandit flight with 2x MiG-21 Veteran (or any Bandits you like)
- Choose a nice spot over the water or the desert on the map
Players Join
- Once everything is set up, the Flight Host calls the other players one by one to join the game
- First #2, he joins the Flight Host's game on the server, and then the Flight Host's flight on the Red Team
- When #2 is finished, Flight Host calls in #3, finally #4
Callsign.INI Setup
Edit or add the following lines to your "callsign.ini"
[COMMS] Comm1=14 Comm1_Comment=(open) Comm2=15 Comm2_Comment=(open)
Game Session
- Flight Host calls his flight to Commit, everybody clicks "Takeoff"
- First round might be chaotic due to delayed joins
- Flight Host makes sure his ACMI is recording
- Flight Host should make notes after each round to make it easier to find highlights for Debriefing
- In the pit use VHF channel 15 for flight comms, and UHF channel 14 for IDM (and trans-instance interflight comms), TACAN as desired
End / Debrief
- After 30 to 40 minutes of play time, Moderator calls end of the training on UHF14, all flights finish the current session, and join Debriefing channel.
- Short high level debriefs by flight
- ACMI debriefing by flight, capped to 10 to 15 Minutes by flight, depending on player count (Moderator takes time)
