Today I fly a mission and the initial point was on the CAS page. At the moment I have no idea why but will have a eye on this problem and report any ideas.

Add a new version: Now the scrip will not recognize late activated units. The script finds now EWR script in first post is actualized

I can read out the MIST database with mist.getGroupData to get information like frequencies. But when the planes are late activated, there are no information in the MIST database. Is there a way to refresh the database to get this informations?

When JTAC send a nine liner with an IP (initial point) the IP is not shown on the CAS page.

If you add an EWR in mission editor the EWR has the callsign from the JTAC. When you contact the EWR you get the answer from an AWACS callsign. If you use a JTAC callsign which not correspondents to an AWACS callsign the EWR is broken. Axeman → Overlord Darknight → Magic Warrior → Wizzard Pointer → Focus Eyeball → Darkstar Moonbeam → EWR not working Whiplash → EWR not working ...

I'm working on a small script that will show the AWACS and JTAC frequencies. Maybe you give it a try.

@zildac your right, the liveries must not on the server but on the clients.

ok, I got the problem. At the moment the script breaks when you use the spawn command from Moose. Background is that the spawn command creates a new group. If Arco-1 is your template, Moose will create a new Group called Arco-1#001. These group does not exist in the mist database. I have to think about a good solution for that.

Hi @mike5cents, unfortunately I have not the Mods of the Iowa Class, HH-60 and Project Defender by Admiral189. Can you provide a Mission without mods?

no, there is nothing special. Can you send me your mission please so I can check?

Hello everybody. I've created a little script that automatically add additional information like frequencies or TACAN to the F10 Menu. At the moment it works for AWACS, JTACS and Tanker. Usage is simple: Load the script at the mission start after loading MIST. At the moment it works only for the blue coalition but it is easy to switch it to the other coalitions. This script works not with late activated units or units that are spawned by a script. Maybe it is helpful for somebody. Edit: 2022.06.12: added version 0.2 -- ServiceProvider v0.2: a script by buur. It provides radio and other stuff from servic provider like tanker, AWACS or FAC -- ToDo: FARPS and Carrier. JTACs with more than one target will have several entries for their own position -- Changelog: protect Tanker, AWACS again late activated units. (not shown in mist database); EWR Radars are added function infoAWACS() local msg = {} msg[#msg + 1] = "AWACS\\EWR:" msg[#msg + 1]='\n' local ServiceProvider = coalition.getServiceProviders(2 , 1 ) if next(ServiceProvider) ~= nil then do for ke,val in pairs(ServiceProvider) do if ServiceProvider[ke]:getCallsign() then callsign = ServiceProvider[ke]:getCallsign() else callsign = "N/A" end local nametype = ServiceProvider[ke]:getTypeName() msgstr = nametype.."

There has something changed in DCS so the former script is broken. Here an updated version function getTableSize(t) local count = 0 for _, __ in pairs(t) do count = count + 1 end return count end coalition_side = { neutral = 0, red = 1, blue = 2 } local navPoints = mist.DBs.navPoints local id_table = world.getMarkPanels( ) size = getTableSize(id_table) for i, u in pairs(navPoints) do for k, v in pairs(u) do size = getTableSize(id_table) trigger.action.textToAll( coalition_side[i], k + size, v["point"], {0,0,0, 1}, {0,0,0,0}, 11, true, "◊ "..v["callsignStr"] ) counter = size + k end size = counter end

there is a colon missing. Try https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3321705/

I have the same problem, but so solution.

You need a throwaway marking label, but it must not be named "T00". It must simple a mark point and the naming is not relevant. This means, if any body else have made a mark point in multiplayer you do not need a second one. For the rest you need a "TNumberNumber" but the Number itself make no difference. You can name all mark points T42 for example and the system is working.

At least it is doable with the Auftrag Class. This class is in the development branch of Moose. Best is to check the Moose discord. There are more information.

@DArt I have LotAtc enabled

Simple Radio enabled in Mission?

I use all of the mentioned mods.

Sorry, but finally I gave no solution. What has exactly solved your problem?

Works fine for me. I don't changed the position. Only added a game master for easy check. Remember, artillery needs up to 3 mike before they start shellig.

@Flappie My fix for the problem is to start first a single player mission before I go to an multiplayer server. Then, the escape key is working.

Is ZON-300 working correct? Best is you ask at Moose Discord, there are more experts.

Hello all, I've modified some confs and radio presets in the AV8B main folder. Works like a charm. But now I want to have it persistent against DCS updates, so I want to shift it to the SAVEDGAMES/DCS/Mods location. What I have to do that the files inside the Savedgames folder will be loaded instead of the core games folder?

Das ist ein Missionplanning tool. Ich finde es praktisch. Aber das beste ist: Man kann es 21 Tage ausprobieren https://www.combatflite.com/
