Hi Currenthill amazing work all round! Upon testing new mission editor features with 2.9 I noticed something with US infantry 1.4.0 - I made a simple tasking where a team of 4 (infantry M4) embark to transport. In the first case it was a stryker IFV and the infantry froze and did not embark once the first soldier touched the vehicle. I tried changing different ground vehicle types and then since its a new beta feature i reverted to stock US soldier M4 to see if its a general bug. With stock assets the embark and disembark from ground transport features works fine. I then tried to see is CH infantry M4 could embark and disembark from a UH-60A just to check if the traditional helicopter transport works. Upon the first soldier touching the blackhawk the helicopter bounced into the air, went inverted and exploded when it hit the ground. I haven't spent a lot of time testing and might still test a little more but just a heads up! Also maybe I missed the fact that you don't have transportable listed as a feature for these troops is a reason. Keep up the good work! These mods are the best I've ever seen! Regards GL

Thank you, I set the page file accordingly. A custom mission in the Marianna’s with the F14 and no weather (basic clouds) ran once. No other planes or statics present. I then restarted it and got a not responding prompt which is new when wait for pooled task -1 and the game crashed. I feel like we are getting somewhere. The same mission ran again upon relaunch but the restart crashed the game again. Finally I tried my luck with some wind and scattered 5 clouds and it didn’t run at all. let me know if you want the logs kind regards GL

I don't have a discrete graphics card sadly, am saving up for one. However, here is my modest setup attached. It did work perfectly for me under 2.7 but wondering now if its time expired now that 2.8 has come out. I am trying to ascertain if my setup is outdone by DCS 2.8 or if there is perhaps an error. Regards GL DxDiag.txt

Here is one, it is a basic cold and dark start for the F/A-18C, nothing too complicated. Kind Regards GL dcs - Copy.log

Can do, remind me is it under savedgames/dcsopenbeta?

Hi all. my setup is very modest - I could get around 30 - 40 fps when I play on mid to low graphics settings. Ever since I updated to DCS 2.8 I have not been able to launch a mission. When the mission loads it gets stuck on “wait for pooled tasks - 1” and this lasts upwards of 10 minutes and then I have to terminate the process. I have tried increasing the vram of my C drive as I have read in other forums but that hasn’t done the trick yet. Can anyone ping here? Would greatly appreciate the help. I have been playing since 2016 more or less without issue. Regards GL

I can't wait thank you Currenthill - hope the final prep is going well!

Very cool mod! Any update?

Hi Admiral, I am trying to apply these changes but struggling to find the Lua file - is there a general harpoon Lua across ships, (for the game) or is it a Lua file for each ship in savedgames/dcs/mods/tech/*ship* for the ships that have harpoons sticking out? Kind Regards GL

I just made 20 static triggers using this command wanting the same outcome but no success

***This contains a spoiler from Topgun: Maverick*** if you haven’t watched then go it’s really good and then read this. So in the movie a trusty F/A-18F gets hit by a flock of birds and the same “engine fire left” “engine fire right” audios come on similarly to a comprehensive startup procedure (its one of the tests). The pilot then goes through the extinguishing procedures and attempts a restart. This made me try and replicate it once I got home but I didn’t get too far and realised that it may not be implemented yet. My question is: will we be able to have an engine fire simulated as a failure in mission editor and be able to use NATOPS procedures to keep the Hornet flying in game ie. Use the fire extinguishers and limp home? Look I know I’m comparing Hollywood to DCS. Don’t get me wrong ED has done an amazing job on the Hornet so far. Regards GL

Wonderful mod, going to try it out this evening , I am South African and live close to one of the AFBs so I get buzzed by these JAS-39s often! Great Addition to DCS. Are there any SAAF skins out there yet? Regards GL

At the moment, Ai uses a combination of the invisible pushback functionality as well as engine power to taxi into the hangar, it would be nice when ED implements plane director deck crew they could also add tractors to do this instead of Ai having their engine on below deck.

+1 the ship mods aren’t showing in game but only in mission editor

I often found myself skidding off the deck of the carrier in a hornet and ejecting just to drop through the water which kind of ruins the immersion for me. I really hope that a floating pilot model could be implemented since 95% of the Marianna's map is water and combine that with rookie supercarrier ops makes a good reason for CSAR missions and floating pilot animations. Let's hope that the F10 ejected pilot markers are a teaser for what's to come. Also maybe one day we will get a remodelled SH60 please ED... Regards GL
