++MISSION BRIEFING++

"My first day as a member of the 501st... it was hot, it was sandy, chaotic. Nothing at all like the simulations on Kamino. Of course, that's pretty much the way it was for all of us, wasn't it? All that breeding, all those years of training... it doesn't really prepare you for all the screaming or the blood, does it? Frankly, I'm still amazed we ever made it through the first hour, never mind the first day."

501st Soldiers Journal.

Whilst the attempt to decapitate the Separatist leadership at the Arena has failed, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Padawan Anakin still require rescue alongside Senator Amidala. Whilst the Separatist leadership may now be beyond our reach, their forces still nominally remain on the surface of Geonosis and are vulnerable to ground and air engagement as they attempt to evacuate the planet and escape from the local system. We must attack through the established ground defenses along the valley in sector 506 and prevent the Core Ship at the end of the valley from escaping from the planet with its deadly complement of battle droids.

FOR THE REPUBLIC!

WBK Avionics Quick Guide - 3AS

Just a quick guide to explain each key bind for webknight avionics, system and gameplay. This will be specifically aimed to help towards the star wars mission. As such this won’t go over all missile types.

 

 

It is HIGHLY recommended that you change your keybinds, to what best suits you and at the very least there are no conflicts.

 

 

WebKnight Avionics, small description from workshop page;

“Brings a whole new dogfight system for jets like in Ace Combat or Project Wingman!”

 

 

Controls:

 

1.    EarPlugs; Rather simple makes its quieter inside the aircraft

2.    Plane Customization; One of the important key binds of the mods, it will open a menu to select cosmetics, pylons, missile type, and gun weaponry.

3.    Enable Reverse Thrust; Enables reversing in the plane.

4.    Reverse; It will reverse the plane at a rate of roughly 10 km/h. As a warning, use this at your own risk. It does not function in all aircraft, i.e. in the ARC-170 you’ll just tilt the nose of the aircraft up.

5.    Mark targets; Mark targets for allies with a ping, kind of like the base game ping, more useful for static targets or points of reference.

6.    Enable after burners; if the aircraft you have has after burners you can use this, it is a burst of speed with a cooldown afterwards.

7.    Enable HMD/HUD; Turns off/on the HUD for Avionics.

8.    Launch Missile; Does what it says

9.    Switch Target; Cycles through targets to engage. The other locking method is lining up your crosshair to the target, which does not require the keybind. You should be told what locking method is in the mission. Also recommend the LAUNCH MISSILE and SWITCH TARGET should ideally not be the same button like default.

10.  Launch IRCM; Counter measure button, to avoid incoming missiles. It will say if you have it or not. It has a cooldown (example further down).

11.  Fire extinguishers; puts out fire after being hit, also doubles as a repair in the air. It has a cool down, though it doesn't show.

 

 

 

 

 

Client Settings:

 

 

 

Callsign; put something in the box that name will appear on your aircraft, on other peoples HUDS. Suggest you leave this blank or speak to your flight lead/mission maker on the day.

 

 

Plane Alert Sound; This will mainly warn you about missiles or low altitude. Change it to something you like, you’re going to hear a lot.

 

 

Show incoming missile indicator; Self explanatory, recommend you don't touch.

 

 

Show destruction VFX; When you get it, if enabled with show flashing lights in the cockpit and on other aircraft. I recommend you turn this off, it gets annoying quickly.

 

 

Colour customization; Change the colours of your HUD, Allies and Enemies to what suits you, or use the defaults.

 

Recommend Mods - Since Starwars Aircraft are nearly all VTOL
