  1. Thanks. Those lines in the Description .lua are already set as you described. My decription .lua was copied from another working livery and there are a couple of lines for decals that call for a file and "true" argument so I will take a hard look at those. I think you got me on the right track.
  2. I am struggling with a little green box near the nose. It shows up even if I export the original template to a .dds without making any changes. Any idea what this is? There is another similar green line on the opposite side of the cockpit in a near mirror position.
  3. Imagine how much RAM will be eaten up keeping track of every tree in the Caucuses and recording its damage state.
  4. Splitting the volumes is an effective way to sort out which radio you are listening to. Make one radio louder than the other and its immediately obvious which radio you are listening to.
  5. Bringing any sense of order to the general mish-mash of camera controls would be great. And we all know that DCS's primary function is for making Youtube music videos.
  6. I used the link to install the modular server posted earlier but now DCS.updater.exe doesn't update to 2.9
  7. When using the keybind for the new VOIP system, the transmitter starts transmitting but never turns off. Using VoIP PTT button (custom) Also... no VoIP intercom binding?
  8. I have the same failure with a log file generated. DedicatedServerLog.txt
  9. Not sure if this has been reported before so I didn't post under a bug report. With every entry in the wharehouse tab under "fuel tank" set to max quantity the external fuel tank is not available. With "unlimited munitions" selected the external fuel tanks are available. Likewise, with every entry under "AA weapons" set to max quantity the Magic I missles are not available. With "unlimited munitions" selected the Magic I missiles are available. I looked through all the other entries in the other categories and could not find the missing items there either.
  10. Well played ED. I loved the Halloween trick or treat
  11. Does anyone have some basic specs for dropping the Durandal anti-runway bomb? Sight depression? Minimum drop height? Maximum release speed?... Something like that?
  12. Nooooooo!!!!!!.... Please don't take that away. One of the fun things to do in the -15 is strafe the map assets with the gun and rip everything apart. Who needs rockets and bombs when you have that gun? But yeah, probably completely unrealistic.
  13. Well, I did, and I think it pretty likely we all did. I didn't ask for it but thank you ED
  14. I got the same message. The reason is that you probably purchaced immediately on release before the discount was applied in the store. ED refunded everyone (well me at least) that purchased at full price which is why your module is not authorized anymore. There wasn't any direct notification but you can check your order status to confirm. I spent a few hours troubleshooting and running the repair app myself but I really can't complain when ED gives me back some of my money
  15. I was surprised to see the full price on launch too but knowing the Aerges team and what they can do I just went ahead and paid it. I am probably not the only one that got caught in that little mixup. In any case, I think the module is worth the price even without the discount. "not even the L39 has the two cockpits fully synchronized yet (not sure about the C-101)" - Eduardo Yeah, the C101 synchronized controls is pretty nice. I have done some dual flying with it and it works well.
  16. Actually, that is completely false. Nav lights cannot be seen outside of their intended angles. The OP is entirely correct.
  17. You might think you are joking but I worked alongside a Russian Kamov crew in the 90's. We were working in a "dry" work camp so they were ordering large quantities of de-icing fluid (basically alcohol) which became the base ingredient in some mixed concoction there were drinking. The Russians had an open invitation to their parties but at some point I received a company memo from my headquarters forbidding me and my coworkers from participating after one of my co-workers went blind for a few hours due to alcohol poisoning.
  18. Therein lies the "but" for me. I love the stick. It is mostly working after a year and a half although my eight way switch gets a bit wonky and the software needs to be reset before every flight. The software however is ... less than intuitive... and the documentation isn't very good. At least for me. Maybe if I had a degree in software engineering and Russian language it would make more sense. If you ask questions you will be directed to the VKB forums (with all the sketchy info that lives on forums) and ancient amateurish tutorial videos using older versions of the software. Despite my frustrations with the support however, it is a great stick. As Streakeagle said, if you can figure out the software there is nothing you can't do with it. At least I think that is the case. I am a long way from figuring out the software.
  19. While I knew that full throttle for 5 minutes can result in an engine fire, I guess I had forgotten the 30 minute limitation. I have flown around for well over an hour at 830 degrees. I assume that means while it will not result in a fire, the crew chief is not going to be happy with me. Thanks for the reminder
  20. Actually, the C101EB was introduced as a jet trainer. There was some limited interest in a low budget recon/attack aircraft which resulted in the CC. Yes, I am skipping some history here but that's the basic back story. The C101 was never designed or sold as a serious contender in a hot war. As for anti-shipping, I believe the role was tested on the CC but no C101 was ever actually deployed with anti shipping capability. The C101 is an excellent training platform and it can do light border patrol/ recon/ smuggler interdiction but you are correct that taking it into a combat zone where missles fly would be a suicide mission.
  21. The Huey has an AI co-pilot also referred to as an "autopilot". Feel free to let him fly while you flip switches turn the dials in the cockpit and look over the map. That's why there are two crew in a Huey. One flies while the other handles the other stuff.
  22. Honestly, I wasn't aware of that option but I did just check it and there are no options to select under that menu
  23. I just had a weird and sad issue with the Mission Editor (Open Beta 2.7.7.15038) I opened a mission I made a week ago to replace a briefing screen image. After replacing the image I tried to start the mission to test my changes. The mission started to load and then DCS did a hard crash to desktop. When I went back into DCS and opened up my mission in the editor, the mission was wiped and it was only a blank map. I am 100% sure I did not save a blank map mission over my mission file. I edited a briefing image, saved and tried to start the mission to check my changes. Luckily, I was nearly ready to release the mission and I had a backup under another name so I was able to recover with only an hour or so of extra work. My backup was made before I had used the new draw tool which makes me suspicious of the draw tool for now. I hadn't been backing up old versions of my missions before but now I am.
  24. I wonder if the "problem" is really hitting a G limit because I was doing some bombing on the range and during a smooth pullup at 541.9 knots pulling 3.5 G's (according to Tacview) my wings came off. I had half fuel, One Mk82 and three BDU-33's so I don't think overweight was an issue. On the plus side, the aircaft was still controllable minus some aileron limits and having my stall speed a bit higher but I managed to bring it home and land safely. About a year ago I was experiencing the same issues with the C101 which was later patched to correct the issue. Sadly, I forgot to save my trackfile. I was too busy with Fraps filming my superior pilot skills...
