Ahhhh...good to know df. Thanks. Loving your missions. Great for training. The MEP is pretty neat also.

Yeah, thanks. I knew that but it seems like if you pick a unit from the unit list, it doesn't work. At least not that I can see. You have to click on the unit icon on the map. Kinda hard to do for carrier flights as stuff is all stacked up. Anyway, then ctrl c and ctrl v. Thanks for your time.

Hi folks. I want to add another FA-18 flight on the carrier by copying the existing one and pasting into the mission. I can't seem to figure out how to paste it into the mission. Help? Thanks.

Hey sthompson, thanks for your reply. Got me pretty much straightened out. Good deal.

You mean somewhere besides 'Keywords Collection--AI Communications"? So, to build new profile--go to Reset tab in Configuration and check 'Profile' box and reset? Or 'Keywords'? Or both? Thanks.

No. Recently purchased Real ATC and cannot update keywords. Very strange. Why would it say "spoken phrase anvil already exists in this profile" when everythings been deleted?! Can't figure it out. Need help. Thanks.

Anybody know why I get this message when I try to do the 'Finish' procedure? I do delete the old keywords, paste new and press 'OK' and I get this 'anvil already exists' message?? Why a conflict when all is deleted?!

Boy, thanks for this post! I couldn't figure out why my brand new prebuilt gaming rig, Ryzen 7 5800 8' Core processor and Radeon RX 6900 XT was only giving me average 58 fps. With medium settings. Got everything maxed(almost) now and getting 88 average. Great! Maybe I should try messing with the 'interval' setting in the wwtExport lua. I'd like to see the lights synced but can live without it for 30 plus extra fps. Thanks OP!

There is a Santa Claus! Thank you Heatblur!!

Hi. I tried to set this up so I could just have inbound bombers. Turned all to false in script. Bombers will spawn but I've lost my AWACS. How do I get it back? Thanks.

Thanks for the tips Ala. Know what you mean about no Jetseat. I lost my first one when I moved. HAD to get another one right away. Can't fly without it!

Is there anything that explains what the effects do? Some are obvious but some, like "high speed shudders" not so much. A few others also. Would appreciate it. Also, recommended settings for FA-18. Thanks!

Oooooooooooooh....fan and cup-holder. I like it. Boy sir, your cable management skills are unbelievable.

Thanks Arjen. I did come across that setup post. Pretty good. I have the Hornet but have not flown it yet. Don't even have it installed so that post didn't do me a lot of good. I have made some discoveries in SimApp. Like seeing what buttons are actually true or false and what their numbers are so I was able to program from within DCS. Got AntiSkid, CRS and HDG programmed. Master Arm. Of course, the gear handle. Still some questions though....for instance, in Key Binding...you click on the game, DCS. Then click on an aircraft(A10C). Then, click on Create from game....then what? It creates a file you can name but where is it? I was hoping you could see it from in DCS but doesn't seem so. There is an Edit function in SimApp which is not yet implemented but anyway, I'm still confused. Wish they would get some documentation up. Seems like a pretty nice piece of software SimApp. Be nice if we had some doc. Thanks pal!

Can anyone tell me how to program these things?! Is there ANY documentation for SimApp Pro? Can we use it to program the panels for say the A-10C in DCS? Or do we do it from in the game? I'm totally confused. I was just trying to program the anti skid switch from inside the game and it's the same button push up or down. Does SimApp give you a little more flexibility? I see Fox Two has a lua file. Not sure how to use that either. Help! Thanks....Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year all!!!!

I just got both panels and they are frekkin" great!

Yes, I do have that book....somewhere. Have to dig it up again. Excellent read.

Man, what has happened to this guy? Hope he's ok, what with Covid and all. Sure would have loved to purchase one of these. Hope he checks in so at least we know he's ok.

Yeah, it's funny. Tons of stats but nothing about time of day. Seems kinda strange. Whatever. Thanks for the reply bud.

Thanks to Ranger for making this available. Not sure I'd be so happy if I paid money for it but....well, what the heck. Guess he made his pile. Anyway, having trouble with the campaign. First, why night missions? Hate that. Only on mission 6. Wonder if that many night missions flown. Want to have fun, not stumble around in the dark. Also, why co-ords given by JTAC on screen so short a time. Gotta be pretty darn fast with CDU to enter, which is ok but no way to repeat? Guess can't blame JTAC. Under fire. Gotta duck man. Now, JTAC drops smoke but....night mission. What good is smoke? Anyway, Ranger79 great mission designer but glad I didn't pay for this campaign. Anyone have any tips, well, beside forget it and drink beer instead of wasting time on stupid flight sim and bad missions...would appreciate it. Spend hour or more on trying to fly bad mission seems trivial...you think? What if doctor has given you 20 months to live? Kinda resets your perspective, don't you think?

Hey guys. Just wondering. What percentage of missions flown by A10's in Desert Storm were night missions?

Gotta have that trim box!

ATC (OMAM): Springfield 1-1, OMAM, cleared to taxi to runway 13L I tried to talk to the tower with "Options-Take" commands. Tried twice for engine start, then, just made voice command call, "Tower, request engine start". Got immediate reply from tower. Nothing with Take commands. Same thing with request to taxi. Nocticed though that I can get the rearm screen to come up with "Options-Take" commands. Everything else though...nada. Man, what in the wide world of sports coulda happened to this thing? Was working great. Also, I did install the AIRIO dll. That was kinda a mini crisis too. But, you fixed it. Hopefully, this will resolve also. Thanks.

Yes, dang always forget some info(sigh). Latest version of Viacom and VA. Just got the Interactive Kneeboard. Works great. As I said, all was working great until short time ago. Very strange. Recently did big upgrade to Win 10 also. Was kinda rough. Made all my Thrustmaster joystick drivers go away. Had to update them. Don't know, maybe a factor. Very strange.

I'm having a similar issue. My voice commands work fine but when I try to use the "Options, Take 1, Take 2, etc." method, the menus appear, I can navigate to the desired command and I see the radio call subtitle but nothing happens. Get no response on the radio from the recipient. Very strange. Has been working great, then suddenly...zip. Only with "Options" type commands. If I speak a command, ex. "Tower, request engine start", it works fine. Very strange. This in stable release DCS. Weird.
