I have a 22" Samsung monitor, but wish I had a bigger one. Sitting about 2 feet away, sometimes I need to look closer to spot the enemy.

Hi, ONEFATBIRD, If you download MIST, the documentation contains an exhaustive list of functions along with specific examples on how to go about making scripts. I learnt a lot going through the examples alone. If you are a beginner, then that is the best place to start.

Hi, I would like to know, what are the features of a good Campaign? Also, how the Georgian Hammer Campaign (A10C) compares to the DLC Campaigns (A10C) i.e. The Enemy Within & Red Flag?

I would like an update where the wingman & TGP is fixed for A10C. These 2 are the major bugs, that is really annoying when flying the A10C. :( I know ED is working on a new FLIR, but that should take a long time. :noexpression: Is it possible to get some updates on these things?

English Please!!

The TGP is bugged, so it is very difficult to find targets on the ground. Try placing targets on the road for practice missions. They are much more easier to spot.

Same issue here! The announcement doesn't mention the update was for Open Beta. :mad: Trying to update for a while, until I saw this thread..................

The SA-2 is still in service with the Chinese along with a lot of other countries like Bulgaria, Cuba, Iran etc. according to Wikipedia. Link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-75_Dvina Even the SA-5 (S-200) is still serving with the Russians along with India, Bulgaria and a host of other nations. Link - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-200_(missile) This shows that these weapon systems are still very much relevant in modern combat. So, if incorporated in DCS, it will only be appropriate, and will simulate a wide variety of force dispositions which will be highly realistic. Also with the SA-2 & SA-5, I would very much like the SCUD in DCS. :) Anybody from ED will like to comment or discuss?

You can always change the runway direction in DCS by changing the wind direction and speed, except for a few runways mentioned above, where nearby mountains dictate the way you take-off.

It feels good to see simmers still wanting the Mig29. :) I have said it a thousand times and I am going to say it again - The Fulcrum is the most neglected aircraft by ED! :mad: With upto 3 variants (A/S/G) available, it still has great potential for advance development. I presume the demand for Mig29 is less than other planes, as every Fulcrum thread in this forum end's up as a dead thread after a while.

I presume the take-off direction in some airbases like Batumi, Sochi, Novorrossiysk & Gelendzhik is one-directional, only due to the adjacent mountainous terrain.

I only have the A10C module. I have noticed that the mission files in the 2 campaigns are also different. So, from a A10C perspective, how will the 2 stock campaigns differ?

Stock Campaign Question Did not want to start a new thread, so I am putting my Query here. What is the difference between the stock A10C Campaigns Georgian Hammer & Georgian Hammer with CA?

Only the S300 & Patriot systems are included as stock. If you want other types of SAM systems you have to make a template yourself. There are pros & cons to this. Pros: You can customize what type of units & how many of them you want. If you have a low-end to mid-range spec PC, you would want to minimize the no. of units and only place the mission critical units in a Group or System. I find this extremely useful. Cons: Most of the time, the custom-made Templates are not realistic enough. So, if you prefer ultra-realism you would need templates build by military experts.

Though I am not new to flight sims, I am not a expert either, but I find it relatively easy to land the A10C, compared to the Su25T. :) I know they are at different levels of flight models (AFM for Su25T & PFM for A10C), nevertheless I used to break one of the landing gears on the Su25T regularly during the initial learning phase. With the A10C I crash-landed only once during the rookie phase. I have even landed safely without the flaps or airbrakes extended, only controlling my speed & attitude of the aircraft (only possible for long runways). For a PFM aircraft, I find it strange, that landing seems so easy. :D

If you want to study an aircraft deeply & immerse yourself into hours of learning, then the A10C Warthog is the top module. With FC3 you will get a lot of airframes to fly, but all of them are not high fidelity models. So it is easier to learn than the A10C. I have not flown any other module to give an opinion about, but the the M2000 & Mig21 along with the NTTR Map is something you can consider. :)

R.I.P.

Is it possible to reload the Ground Units using triggers or Lua Scripts? That would make things a lot easier.

Hi, I would like to know if there is a way to re-arm or reload ground Artillery units after they have exhausted all their fire power. For example, I want to reload a MLRS unit after it has fired all its rockets, so that it continues to fire at a specified point at regular intervals. :helpsmilie:

Thanks to everyone for their comments & opinions! Thats been my view on it for a while now. I think this is the way to go. :)

Anyone??

Yeh, Got it! :thumbup: Thanks for the help EasyEB. :)

Hi, Is there any way one can Password Protect a Mission, so that others will be able to only play & not be able to edit the mission, except for the mission designer.

Hi, Grimes, Can you elaborate on the triggered task(Command>Start) you mentioned & also AI Push Task action, as I am not getting any Group Name in the drop down under the AI Push Task in triggers, even if I have a AI Group spawned & 'uncontrolled' box checked. I need this for a mission I am building, so a solution will be very much helpful. :helpsmilie:

OMG! :shocking: Not another new plane thread......................
