FSCAI in Action (Vids & Photos)

[sfctako]

Nice one!

Not the best video, but anyway...

Quite amazing what FS is capable of in Combat Scenarios simulation
with the "tools" today available...

6 Days War : Golan Heights



Yesterday flights were more succesfull, using 500kg bombs, but 0.50cals(!) got me, setting my engine on fire...

I'll spend some flying time over here... There is also the Tacpacked Mig21 bis to fly...

FSX Sci Fi : Attacking a Cylon Base



-Laser Weapon on board : CS Weapons
-FSX@War destructible "Cylon Base"
-Cylon Ground Defences : FSCAI
-Death Valley photoscenery (Grand Canyon photoscenery is another "out of this world" landscape...)

That looks awesome - great video!

Just don't bother simulating an attack on a Dalek base. You would have to 25x the amount of gun (laser) emplacements, each with a never-miss gunner. Heck, they'd blast any bombs you might drop....

(The "British Robots" were the biggest flaw to "The Lego Batman Movie" - those muckers did nothing!)

Best,

Falklands War : MB339s Close Air Support at Darwin

Video of a combat scenario : "3 x MB339s provide close air support, attacking British forces near Darwin."
Leader No1 AI uses rockets while AI No2 drops pairs of 500lb bombs. AI weapons can damage & destroy
their targets (of FSX@War). I'm flying MB-326 by Dino Cattaneo with Tacpack as formation's No3, using
guns & rockets. FSCAI is used for British ground defences (resulted in loss of Leader No1).

I've also made a photoscenery for the East Falkland with FS Earth Tiles for the action to take place with
very few scenery objects (yet). Flying is performed in FSX Mission System, for the various scripted events
to trigger depending on the flow of action. Enjoy :


 


Historical Background

www.quora.com/Did-the-Macchi-MB339-have-any-effect-during-the-Falklands-War

Close Air Support at Darwin

Even in adversity, two planes (A-4-4-114 and A 117) were launched on the morning of the 28th to support the army
in Darwin. With the worsening weather conditions and almost zero visibility, the mission was aborted. In the afternoon
the weather improved and the same plane took off to the west. The attack was made with the use of Zuni guns and
rockets. Corvette Captain Molteni, the pilot of 4-A-117, observed the launch of a missile and began to make evasive
maneuvers.
The other MB.339 (4-A-114) was not so lucky and the pilot, Lieutenant of Corvette Daniel Miguel, was shot down by
a MANPAD Blowpipe of the Royal marines Air Defence Troops.

FSCAI : Attack at Bayeux Rail station (train, trucks, containers, the station itself - FSX@War targets).

A video of the action (recorded with FS Recorder) with latest FSCAI version 0.9.

Two P-47s, one P-51 & myself with a Hawker Typhoon (AIs by John Young, FSX native, MAIW), will take off from 
Advanced Airfield 1 (by Ian P.), 12 miles from Bayeux. Closest town to the landing with a rail station.
Two BF109s will engage as just after the first attack. I smoked one... My team AIs attacked the station and two of 
them crashed on ground during the attack. We had loses... 

 

I fly in an FSX Mission to spawn the different AIs and give'em taxiing & flying WPTS. Regardless of the Mission Wpts, as soon as 
there are ground targets or hostile AIs, FSCAI takes control over the AIs normally (as is the case with CCP eventually...). 
My "problem" now, is how to "tell" them to RTB...(since I haven't spawn them via FSCAI menu as wingmen). Maybe Simvar.exe
can take control over FSCAI, but haven't tried that yet.

Lethal Shark... (Warbirdsim P-51D)

Arming & preparing to go to War over Normandy with FSCAI...

[xpel]

Demo video of FSCAI controlled AI's Air to Ground ability. Full mission, from Take off back to Landing with 
the AIs, after the Ground Attack at Bayeux RailStation, France, Normandy'44. 12 miles away from Adv. Landing Airfield 1, 
that I use for my FSCAI WWII tests :


Opportunity given, I wish to encourage more FSCAI users to post Screenshots and/or Videos 
of their flying activities, for sharing the same interest, trigger ideas and see how other people 
use in practise FSCAI...

The Falklands war of 1982 is another great example of a smaller scale conflict that's unlikely to be simulated by any of the major combat simulators out there, but can be done with relative ease by FSCAI.

You can really see the potential threat to commercial sales of combat sims and games since FS contains all possible maps and most of the possible aircraft already!

It's not our intent to threaten anyone. But we want people to be able to fly where they want how they want with what they want without having to wait years and hope that conflict they are interested in will be noticed and implemented by someone so they can purchase it in a new Expansion.

From now on those long cross-continent deplyoment flights aren´t lonesome anymore!

Got myself a wingman, I was even able to adjust the configurations so that my A-10 wingman is using a MAIW-model and not the Iris-Thunderbolt.

Yeap, that's one of the great things about FSCAI...
