If one is already editing a mission, is there a way to add or remove a country in a coalition without having to start the mission all over? thanks

Hi! I dont seem to be able to assign the trigger SOUND TO COALITION, is ti normal? I find a .WAV sound that I want, and in the triggers window, I make a trigger to activate a sound and I cannot hear it? When you do a trigger : ONCE, FLAG is TRUE (x), SOUND TO COALITION (blue, xxx.wav) first of all one needs to specify which sound with the OPN button (open?) and it opens a browser to find the sound. I did point to a xxx.WAV that is in the windows sounds. But there are two more buttons in the bottom : PLAY and STOP and these two dont seem to make a difference? I cannot play it (let alone stop it?) And then, in mission, I dont hear it either, is it a bug or is it me? (use to be able to do this easily before?)

@Grimes please Hello Grimes I am struggling with trying to get some random to happen in my mission making (especially with trying to get groups to spawn at random time, or occurence) and I saw your post earlier about your RANDOM OCCURENCE GENERATOR and I must say that I dont understand at all the logics... Can you explain in other terms, taking for granted that I am way too slow for your kind of brains...:( seriously, I really would like to understand... and I feel I am missing something Here is your generator quotation : thanks a lot!

HAHAHAHA!!!!:megalol:

Thanks That's what I thought. great

I would like if somebody from ED can answer this? I am in the process of building a campaign, and it is a lot of work of course. I would like it to work either for A-10C AND upcoming FC3 F-15C, are they going to be compatible? (therefore in the same WORLD version?) Otherwise, I will wait before I start all this work... thanks JEFX

sorry, you are right... finally installed and it is 6241 (I really thought I had it already, but I think I read the forums too much...)

new update!! dont know the number yet, but it is donwloading at a crawl pace....

I dont think so, it doesnt work for me... Any hint on that Grimes? If the follow and escort commands work with the human player, that would be one of the best additions for a while!

well well that sounds like typical computer devices compatibility fun! But, besides the theory, (or RL I must say), what will our next F-15C (FC3) have as far as datalink system? thanks Eddie for answering so quickly!

OK did some research and I get it better. Of course, there is the distinction between SADL and EPLRS, but from what I have read, there should be an integration of these 2 systems, even on pure A-A fighters... from here : (the company that makes it) http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/sadl/ ''SADL-EPLRS Joint Combat ID Through Situation Awareness Joint Combat ID through Situation Awareness The Situation Awareness Data Link (SADL) integrates US Air Force close air support aircraft with the digitized battlefield via the US Army's Enhanced Position Location Reporting System (EPLRS). More than just a radio or a data modem, SADL provides fighter-to-fighter, air-to-ground and ground-to-air data communications that are robust, secure, jam-resistant and contention-free. With its inherent position and status reporting for situation awareness, SADL provides an effective solution to the long-standing air-to-ground combat identification problem. Air-to-Ground Mode The pilot commands the SADL radio to synchronize with a specific ground network. His radio will share fighter-to-fighter data while recording ground positions from the EPLRS network. Fighter-to-Fighter Operation The SADL radio is integrated with aircraft avionics over the 1553 multiplex data bus, providing the pilot with data from other SADL-equipped aircraft as well as positions of EPLRS-equipped aircraft and ground units. SADL is capable of fighter-to-fighter network operation without reliance on a ground-based EPLRS network control. Force XXI Operability Task Force XXI has identified EPLRS as the “backbone communication system of the maneuver brigade”. SADL- equipped close air support aircraft provide the combat ID of all digitized battlefield forces' positions, including non-EPLRS users.''

Sorry, didnt know that. Just took for granted that most other AC in DCS A-10C have it (A-10C, F-15E, F-16C, F-18C, and even AH-64), is it because these birds are Ground attack capable that they have it as well? I must say that it was very handy on TAD to have all the other air assets mapped and will the F-15C have some kind of datalink as well (like the russian birds use to have in LOFC2?) thanks

I have no idea, so I trust you but, what do you base that guess on?

Can any of the DEVs confirm if the upcoming F-15C in FC3 will have EPLRS (as opposed to now)?? thanks

I was wondering about the same thing myself! And is it true that you would have to do a new version of the mod for each new update? That is too bad, because (as a TripleHeadtoGO user, your mod is really great for me!) thanks JEFX

Thanks Druid I always like so much your explanations of ME features (with examples!). Is there a chance we get this feature to work with AI on HUMAN (player?) because now it only works with AI on AI right? And, even though it is fun to set a package of AI to do things, the best would be to be part of the party... thanks JEFX

and this is just 15000 characters from about 50000

I am very sorry to sound rude, but I dont really think it is very useful to understand what has been changed or updated... it would be really cool to have a dedicated sticky with change logs that are designed with plain language in mind... Personally, this does really explain much to me : (from autoupdate.log, today) 00000.000 INFO : === MiniLog opened UTC 2012-10-04 21:56:52 00000.038 INFO : Current version: 1.2.1.6055.27376 00000.040 INFO : Checking for updates... 00000.344 INFO : Repair is available. 00000.344 INFO : Update is available.
