  1. It's only partially working. Sometimes they're spamming, sometimes they don't. Still trying to tune the mission, but this bug is making things take way longer than it should. Oh well, hopefully I'll get he mission up in the user files in the next few days.
  2. Suggestion: I love your stuff by the way. However, there's a big gap in DCS that bugs me every time i try and make a historic mission, blue AA guns. Specifically, the 20mm and 35mm guns. Here are a few examples of stuff I'd really like to see. Oerlikon GDF - Wikipedia M42 Duster - Wikipedia <---Used in Vietnam war and but a number of nations. Would be great for anything cold war from Korea to the Gulf War. While not historically ideal, it would also add functionality to Falklands war type scenarios, as well as Arab-Israeli wars. Oerlikon 20 mm cannon - Wikipedia MANTIS Air Defense System - Wikipedia M16 Multiple Gun Motor Carriage - Wikipedia (Just because it would be fun to attack this with P47's or other warbirds) Schwerer Gustav - Wikipedia Thanks again for all your hard work.
  3. Michigan! Thats where I'm at, but the squadron has people all over, so really any time zone is fine. But yeah, we at AIN fly everything, and personally I like the big twins, F4, F14, F15E, with a soft spot for the Hornet and Mirage 2000. (I confess to sometimes flying things with wings that spin...) Anyway, I hope you stop by at the discord. Here's an invite. https://discord.gg/zHwPm8ceBd
  4. This is still a problem in 2024. in 2 separate missions I've put in AI MiG-21 flights. I did not load countermeasures for these aircraft as the historical situation did not use them. In both missions I could visually see the AI MiG21's dropping flares as an F4 got around behind them. The only way I've been able to have them not use flares is if I put "DO not use" under the actions and options tab for the unit. Please fix.
  5. Yeah the Su-33 is it. Maybe get the PLAN J15 livery for it and the PLAN livery for the carrier. But the other PLAN aircraft haven't gone to the boat yet. They're testing the J35 on at their land-based carrier testing facility. The PLAN does have an AWCAS in development and while isn't not a copy of the E2, there are only so many ways to make a turbo prop twin engine radar plane for a carrier so it does look like the E2 at least superficially. Though I haven't seen any PLAN skins for the E2 yet, but I'm sure those will show up eventually. The PLAN uses helicopters we don't have models of in DCS. Until the Type 003 CV-18 starts trials and aircraft trials we won't really know what their CAG looks like on a CATOBAR carrier. Sorry I can't be more help, but the times are changing with the PLAN so every day brings something new if you follow those things.
  6. Several members of my squadron and I have the same bugs, and more... The F6 view stutters, shakes. Objects and aircraft in F2 sometimes do the same thing.
  7. The other day my squadron ran a night mission, and one of the F16 pilots asked if the F16 had an ILS. He said he'd used it, and it wasn't working. That was multiplayer on Persian Gulf landing on Minhad Runway 09. I checked the next day in my own mission. No mods just an F16 on approach to Incirlik runway 23. Again, no dice. The ILS needles are stuck inn full deflection and don't move. I got back with some of my guys and we went over everything together to make sure we were all setting it up properly, we were. So it looks like the F16 ILS is broken. I could not find any other reports on the F16 ILS system, and I know it's worked in the past because I've used it multiple times on different maps, including both PG and Syria. I've used it on Nevada I'm sure, and probably all the other maps where ILS systems are available.
  8. SickSidewinder9, Yes the IR Mav. The Weapon itself is fine, apparently from lately only tracking light poles if used around a road or something. The problem is that ships in DCS work on the hit point system. There are no internal compartments, there are no flooding or fire damage mechanics. The AGM-65F was made (in ship mode) to alter it's attack profile to hit a ship at the waterline as opposed to hitting a tank in the side or top. Waterline hits would in the real world, cause flooding. But since none of those factors are modeled in DCS, it really doesn't matter where the mav hits, as it's just taking hit points off the ship based on the hit point damage the weapon is coded with. In my testing the MAV F does go for the waterline, but since it doesn't matter it's up to the player how they want to use it.
  9. Aries101 You're welcome to come fly with AIN. We've got people all over the world, but most of us are USA. I'm east coast, we've got west coast and central time guys too. We're about 60% old military guys, but everyone is welcome. We do squadron missions once or twice a week, we have our own server for mission events. And we play a lot of multiplayers on the big multiplayer servers like Through the Inferno. We have people who fly everything from helos to warbirds, and a fair number of us have your JF17 and know how to use it. My favorites are navy jets and big twin engine fighters like the Tomcat and the F15E, but I fly everything. Most of our admins and moderators have all the maps and all the modules. Personally, I'm retired from the U.S. Army, so I can play whenever I want (wife permitting of course) We use discord, and as I said everyone is welcome, but not everyone fits in. Stop by and let's do some sorties. here's the invite link. https://discord.gg/JuBydbsfDn
  10. Matt, the ship mode kinda sorta works. What the mode does is change the aim point for the missile, ideally causing the weapon to hit the ship at the waterline to cause the most damage and flooding. Yes, that feature works. However, the damage model of all ships is really, really broken in DCS. (Castle class is one of the worst offenders). So, no weapon made for killing ships, really kills ships in DCS. (apart from the RB-04 and RB-15). So yeas the ship mode works. But since flooding damage isn't part of DCS, machinery damage to internal components isn't part of DCS etc, so the utility of using the ship mode for the AGM-65F is questionable.
  11. Today I went to see this helicopter, and they were offering rides to Veterans. Being a Veteran I of course took them up on that. This nonprofit are working to preserve fly UH-1 helicopters. I figured that the DCS community would be interested. I won't lie, I was grinning ear to ear when the helicopter began to shake as the blades spooled up. They strapped us in and left the doors open. We took off and flew around, the pilots even gave us a couple banking turns. The website is www.americanhuey369.com The helicopter I flew in (369) was a Dust off in Vietnam. And apparently one of their helicopters (the Huey gunship) flew in the battle of I Drang Valley. The Museum is located at 1697 W. Hoosier Blvd Miami Count Aviation Hangar 11 Peru, In 46970. 20230708_113110.mp4
  12. Some of the HAS in Israel won't work for the F15E. The jet fits, and will go in, but the spawn is slightly off and the tails hit the door on the way out. I've haven't' tried every slot yet But Ramon air base is the one I know is broken / wonky. I'll check more parking spots and test more jets. Thanks guys, and Good work on the map.

  13. Well I didn't know this was possible, but I did it. It was on Through the Inferno Sinai Map. We'd just gotten back from a 2+ hour mission and several AAR's each, I guess we'd drained the tanker a bit, because when I got there for my post climb out AAR, the tanker was tanking.
  14. These head trackers are so good it's silly. I love mine. Keep up the good work Hollywood!
  15. Paco, I'm glad to see you're getting options. The DCS community is pretty great that way. I run AIN (Arrorian Imperial Navy). We're open to anyone and everyone, but our core group is ex military, Army, Air Forces, Marines, and a Navy guy or two. We also have Uk Military, a fair number of private pilots, some commercial pilots. No matter what module, airplane or helicopter you want to fly, we've got someone who can help you learn it. We had a group of guys who fly warbirds, about half of our guys fly at least one helicopter, and there isn't a question about the Hornet that someone won't be able to answer very quickly. You're welcome to come by and check us out, as is anyone else. Like I said we're open to everyone. He's the discord link, https://discord.gg/JuBydbsfDn Good luck in your squadron search, and we'll see you in the skies.
