Hey guys,great update. However one thing I found is that when using the Avro Vulcan in JTW the drones don't show up when selected from the arming screen.The pylons are there but the drones are not.

Uhm, not too familiar with this bird but I suspect a complex mission building thing here.

There is a recon drone vehicle by Mace, the drone is a pilotable "plane" which maybe can be connected to the Vulcan in this configuration? Check the Vulcan manual pdf inside BATDOCS. I am pretty sure this kind of stuff is explained there. Maybe there is a sample mission by mace in the missions.

(Could be I am completely wrong though)

Ok will check it out.Thx.

Ok - got it to work. The key is, as Andy alluded to, is that the drone is an aircraft in its own right, so you must add that to the scenario - just selecting the vulcan loadout is not enough.

Procedure:

1. Place a vulcan as player aircraft with UAV loadout (choice of one or two drones).
2. Place a drone with waypoints as desired (first WP 'normal' not 'takeoff').
3. Select first drone WP, click 'set' and attach to vulcan.
4. For two drones, proceed as above, but select number of drones in the flight as '2'.

DIVEGUY43, I hope you are well.

cbradbury thank you for taking the time to write an excellent explanation of how to attach drones to the Vulcan, very much appreciated.

As cbradbury explained RP-54 drones are attached to the Vulcan via Full Mission Builder (FMB) by using the Object-Waypoint-Set function (under the Target option)


This FMB feature is used to attached planes to other planes (player or AI).

The sample missions 08 'Drone hunting' (featuring two target drones) and 09 'Eyes of intelligence' (featuring a recon drone) in the Vulcan downloads will give you an idea on how to set up a mission file to have drones attached to the Vulcan at mission start. If you are using BAT, just make sure your IL-2 selector Game Type is 'B.A.T The Jet Age 1946-Present', so the Vulcan and RP-54 show up on the mission map. Link for extracted mission files
