Hi - its likely a no, but is there scriptwise a way to retreive the magnetic variance at a units location like fx. (getMagneticDeclination())? Kola map has a pretty large variance in the Magnetic Declination over very short distances, so a constant is not "really" useful. I could create a table, but that is a very "local" solution and does not lend much freedom in moving the units around afterwards.

@Nealius thx i must have missed that! Thanks for the info, much appreciated mate.

as in the Title An ability to assign specific radiocalls to your hotas so its easy to send things like call the ball using the hotas, or trigger it with flying through a 3d zone fx.

I see the same thing Fakum. But the 1% is only a "guide" its not a rule you have to follow strictly. It will help you on the right path, but you have to loosen up a little bit and fly it more to where it should be in the end. I'm still struggling when rolling out on downwind to get trimmed right without ballooning and/or loosing too much altitude. Was almost there today as i stopped using the speedbrake, it seems to unsettle the flightmodel a lot and unpredictable. so....more attempts to go

@NineLine perhaps you can confirm is this is "known" and worked on?

Before final turn - add a little gas before starting the turn to be ahead of the power curve that drops in the turn. So power up a little, one banana, start turn.... same before rolling out, power off a little, one little banana, roll out helped me a lot getting the FPM placement right

+1 For what its worth, I think your right Harley. The FCLS should very much trim as the drag increases and not from a switch position in the throttle. Did you examin what happens when you push the speedbrake switch to its "held" position for closing, and then not ever taking it out of the hold position? And make sure its not like in an F-16, where you can "over open" the speedbrakes by holding the speedbrake switch in the open position - gives a little extra opening angle on the speedbrakes. Then when you release the switch the brakes close a tad automatically.

Hey Bankler Awesome mission to learn the Hornet with - hats off to your coding and mission creation skills. Would you be ok with me unpacking the mission file and try to add 4 Hot Start and 4 Cold Start Hornets to the selection mass? If i do is there something in the triggers or naming conventions i need to be aware off? Thanks for a superb training "mission"

You can use local zones to change fog settings during the mission. Aka. player approaching a particular airfield triggers thick fog or when over target area the fog lifts etc.

+1 especially when you by accident delete a unit you just spend 30 mins finetuning.....

or ability to add overlays to the map and resize them afterwards....

Trying last night with the A-10CII on a KC-135. at one point before pre-contact position the jet rolls sharply to the right into a ca. 80 deg bank attitude. And that's it. seems an odd behavior for wake turbulence.

Exactly - was setting up my transports and tankers in my mission template from your charts and was missing those two Expect players to do tactical takeoffs and landings.

@graveyard4DCSLove your approach charts. However there is one navigation point missing information about its location (actualy two perhaps) CANVU and BAMRE I managed to find the information in the Navtech oakn01maorg0 from 22 feb 12 CANVU N 31 27.0 E 065 45.2 BAMRE N 31 32.2 E 065 53.9 Both points are used in the SID departure platesnull null

Totally Second this one. Al Jouf, KKMC and Fahd would be pretty essential

+1 Still a much wanted feature.

Cool @raus Looking forward to enjoy the fruits of your work

Bump..... @BIGNEWY any chance of a password for the campaign, so some of us can update it to A-10CII and/or weather ?

Hey Raus Hope your doing well and have come into 2025 good and healthy. If you are still working on the Datacard Generator then i have a small request. The Comm Card page is not able to show 3 decimals in the frequencies column. That might be a good idea for a small change/fix. brg Martin

@graveyard4DCS that is a brilliant collection of articles you have written. I can highly recommend those for any one building missions even missions not for either of the two theaters of operation. Well done !!!

I have been doing a little research as well for preparation for some "Hogs in the Sand" missions. I seem to have found the correct kill box layout in the theater of operations, which makes it a lot more less difficult to decipher the descriptions of missions in various books written by pilots where they refer to kill boxes fx. I also found the approximate placement of some of the tanker tracks, and i know that in Buck Wyndhams book there are several references to the names of these tanker tracks as well. So far i have made the kill boxes as trigger zones, as i plan to use them as zones anyway and see no idea in doing them two times, but it might be easier to share them as "draw" graphic then as a strip of lua code you would have to insert into the mission file..

Bump..... any one looking into this ? @BIGNEWY perhaps

Very nice work Totmacher - love the comparison possibility Suggestion Add mph and mph/ias to the speed selections especially for the US WWII planes
