The video / screenshots are not from Exercise2, they are from the demo video

 

General Note concerning impact of arty spotting flash scipt (original flash script by IL2-GB pilot career):

-After the script is activated (after flying at very low lever over the battery): time acceleration deactivated

(because of this in my group after 10 minutes the script will be automaticly deactivated)

-After displaying the fire control grid [LWin +1]: Head rotation blocked: Just select the target grid and display off again with [LWin +1],

The battery will continue firing.

 

Tasks:

-For the 2d Exercise fly in very low level over your battery to activate the spotting script (I suppose this you have done)

 

-Find the targets when flying over the area. (see 2:30 in the video)

-By comparing your observations with the grid on your map you have to estimate the grid location where the targets could be. (see 2:34 in the video)

 

-From your cockpit view activate Fire Control with [LWin + 1] and click on the estimated target grid location (see 2:30 in the video)

Now the first fire mission begins, observe the shell explosions (see 3:10 in the video), if your grid was correct let the battery do it's work, otherwise try to correct the fire by selecting an alternative grid (see 4:10 in the video)

correction:

Hits insite target area:

Here a video of my very first test with an oudated group. But you can see the fire control:

Very cool Kraut1!

Could this somehow be adapted to a tank crew mission? It would effectively be like calling in an artillery strike. 🙂

Good idea!

This Flash script is great tool, to execute 8x8 commands during the mission.
