Apologies! I wasn't clear. You have some network issue. Probably DNS or the routing from your ISP to the validation servers. Except: You don't seem to get the 3 days grace period, which is strange. If you're scared of updating, just don't update. You're not forced, and if you use the other icon, you will never be asked to update. So, if you want to play before you solve the connection problems, (or if the problem is on ED's side, until they fix it). Just stay online, and it will never be updated until you want it to. I'd do a traceroute to see where it stops. Sent from my SM-A536B using Tapatalk

He is waiting for a final salute. I believe there was a keybind for that (or was that just for the Tomcat?), but you can definitely find it in the Ground Crew menu.

Я вчера , с "полтинника", кидался Х-25. Норм работают. Две ракеты, с 10ти км, с паузой - в цель Пробовали светить и с наземки, и с Апача, и со второго Полтинника - не. Ка-50 работает исключительно со своим лазером и пятном. (почему - не знаю) Говорят - это уже давно (Сам себе режиссер) JTAC - тоже бесполезно. Полтинник на НАТОвские приблуды вообще внимания не обращает. Сам по себе шмаляет ... одиночка

According to the editor, the radio frequency in the link is 116,500. Try to change the frequency in flight.

Hi! Maybe you forgot to tune the radio station?

hi, i have downloaded dcs-bios and wanted to just detect if buttons were pressed in a cockpit. i'm trying to make a .lua file that detects the button press in VR. from there i will have the .lua file talk to a plugin that make a bluetooth sound device buzz. i will then use this with the VR hands to give feedback. So there is a lot of scripts in the dcs-bios. Anyone know where i should be looking or how much of it i need? any guidance would be grateful.

Hi, I could well be being a numpty but I've taken off from the Tarawa and made my way to WP1, contacted Jaguar on the radio and am told to contact Hammer 3-5 Ground Forces - however - there is no option in the Radio Menu that I can see to do so. The mission fails shortly afterwards if you fail to contact them. Is this a bug or am I missing something? Thanks

Haven't played DCS in about a year, so I think I missed an update in the take off procedure. I get stuck right after I raise my trailer hook, a guy is just waving his arm at me and I cant figure out what to do. Im just stuck there right at the end of the hookup sequence and a guy is just waving at me. I try saluting, try asking ATC for launch... Seems like I never ran into this before. Any advise?

Its not modeled, no

I’m not near my pc so I can’t check, but check the kneeboard. If hou’re gunfighter 12, then you should taxi as number 2.

Скажите а навигация, полёт по маршруту работает нормально в су-25? Пытаюсь выполнить ночную миссию где нужно разбомбить танки на аэродроме. Там вроде как нужно на аэропорт выходить по маршрутной точке номер 1. Однако если выставляешь эту маршрутную точку и задаёшь автопилот то самолёт улетает куда-то далеко не туда, видимо даже прямо противоположную сторону летит.

Там на октябрь Геркулес прицелился. Обычно в один месяц два пипелаца не выкатывают.

The problem is the sequence of the advanced actions. Holding is basically infinite, as you haven't set an end condition to the task "HOLD", so they will never switch to the ROE rule. To fix the issue, give infinite actions an end condition, put actions that are infinite at the last position in the sequence or actions that get completed quickly in first place. In case of this mission: ROE = Weapons HOLD HOLD Disperse Under Fire = OFF Or put "HOLD" at the very end like this: ROE = Weapons HOLD Disperse Under Fire = OFF HOLD

Illumination flares all the way for historical accuracy! Love doing FAC work in A-10s or F-4s.

While editing a cockpit familiarization mission, I became aware that the battery run out after 15 minutes of operation when the main engine is off. The manual of the real aircraft says that the endurance should be at least half hour (mentioned on the Generator failure section). If I connect external electric power, then the battery does not run out, however, the aircraft seems unable to operate with just Ground Power, the battery switch has to be at ON at all times. This does not correspond to what the manual of the real aircraft says: "Power may be supplied by one of three sources: the 75A Generator, the 24V 17 Ah battery, or the external power receptacle".

Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately just tried running DCS.exe directly rather than DCS_updater.exe but same result when I got in. Offline Mode Icon lead to Popup window error code 500 then 401.

Hi, thanks for the tip, however I only employ the LUA Console of the DCS-BIOS software, and that component seems to be working with no issues, my latest Module (the F-4U) is recognized. Perhaps other parts of the DCS-BIOS don't work nowadays, but for my needs I will keep using it until it actually does not work anylonger.

Baby don't hurt me.

I'm retired, so no problem timewise

Black Shark example

DCS-BIOS can do it, but I think it would be on an individual switch/button basis. i.e. you'd need to program every button/switch in every aircraft individually. That's A LOT of buttons!

You are 4th on the ramp. You have to rush to cutoff your flight so they don't get ahead of you. is it possible to be slotted next to Paco?

That is the OLD version called "Hub" and is no longer maintained. I DO NOT recommend anyone to use it. IIRC, new modules aren't being added to it. The up-to-date version from the "Skunkworks" GitHub ( https://github.com/DCS-Skunkworks ) has an "older" version number because it was branched off the original DCS-BIOS before "Hub" was made, and hasn't incremented the numbers much. The Skunkworks version, formerly called the "Flightpanels Fork" is actively updated and maintained. Was it really the "old version", or was it the low-numbered Skunkworks version? As for the multiple connections: Tek Creations just today posted in the Skunkworks Discord about some new connection software they say will work with any DCS-BIOS device. I've not tried it, but the link is: https://github.com/tekcreations/TekConnect

It is definitely not working correctly. The ROE = Weps Hold should do the trick; I think you should report it as a bug. I added Alarm State = Green, and a Combined Arms Game Master and another heli. The Red armor forces shot at the Blue heli when they should not. You can get the 'no firing' condition by zeroing out the ammunition for each armor vehicle. PITA to be sure. See the attached modified mission. Mi-24 Gunnery WC01.miz

Hi Ripcord, Thanks for the invite and glad you found the problem! Directory hygiene is not always easy with DCS and modding. I use to quarantine most mods during development, so I can test one or a few assets in isolation. Not always an option or practical, though. I wouldn't know where to start with your armed buildings. Is there anything in particular for a 60-70ies SEA setting? Like hootches or Indochinese houses? We have two buildings in VWV, maybe it's an idea to arm them as well. Cheers, TeTeT
