What's up all. Newbie looking for some guidance here... I'm attempting a mission that requires very specific targets. The targets are naval units where formation is somewhat tight. On the A/G radar it's tough to pin point with unit i need to target. I've tried a couple different times without any luck so turning to you all to hopefully guide me. Usage: CM802 - I tried to lock target via A/G radar but as i said it's hard to tell which unit i'm locking on or grabbing the coordinates from. What i've learned from testing however is that locking this location/unit is just a starting point? From there the turns to wherever it wants? Is this true? - I also tried lasing the target with a pod but same results. Either i lose the lase for unknown reasons or the missile targets random units in that general area. - tried with TP on and off, although i can try and lead the missile to the front of the convey it still doesn't lock to specific targets. So what am i doing wrong? Is there no way to lock these missiles on to specific targets? I know we have the MITL type but for this specific mission it will not be an option...

i get everyone's point on this but since AAR is usually not something someone will do on most missions i would prefer the aircraft default to having it off. I find it annoying and in the way. Love that we have the option in editor and we can do it on runway with aircraft turned off but 99.9% of the time i'm having to disable it because again, most missions we are not AAR... New to DCS so unless there is a very specific good reason it should be defaulted to ON i have to agree it's an annoyance....

Ah thanks for the info. It's nice to know what's already broken so we can avoid its features or reporting it but i get it creates additional work possibly...

Can this be stickyed? Not sure why it isnt as many others are. Also maybe i'm not understanding the way datalink works but when i punch in 199 and i dont have the datalink pod i still see data on my RWR as if i had it. Is this bugged or is that by design but with limited data?

Yes sorry for not clarifying. Was looking to see about customizing weapons on pylons via hack. Found the sample script/location here: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=274314 Thanks

Anyone know how this works? :) In ME i tried to change loadout and dont see how i can customize different weapons unless i'm not understanding this correctly... (new to DCS)

Saw the update on this today. Very cool. Thanks Deka! As a newcomer to DCS so glad i went with this one :)

As someone also coming over from ARMA this editor is sooooo outdated... +1 here. Can't even move multiple groups around the map :(

Thanks for the fix on M10 mission. The issue with radar zoom is now fixed. I ran into another odd bug but it was at the very end and could just be an issue on my end. The problem is for the missile taking the longer approach it seems to lose tracking and ends up blowing itself up before it ever gets to the target. Now i dont know if this happens because: 1. target originally targeted was killed by missile 1 (is it right that the missile seeks new targets in that area?) 2. The missile runs out of steam Again thanks for the missions, its been so helpful and they are professionally done. I hope you and the devs can work something out because this is truly a great training package for those buying into their product.

I'm new to DCS and this is my first module but what's stopping you from doing this in mission editor yourself? I've been testing it myself and it's quite easy :)

Just wanted to say someone who's new to DCS and has purchased this module as a first these missions have been a huge help! Thank you so much for taking the time to create and share. On another note, there is a bug with M10. When you get to the section of setting radar to 80nm setting, it doesn't register. I tried both via screen buttons and joystick keys but nothing register and the mission gets stuck there. Again, thank you for making these and sharing them!
