In the GAMEPLAY settings, there is an option ... "Unrestricted SATNAV". Well, who knew! It allows SATNAV for all coalitions as #Weta43 alluded to.

I know what you mean about the Afghanistan map. It seems fairly pointless. I only created a mission using the map just out of curiosity really, but all of the desert maps look pretty much the same. I suppose ED could have included Mujahideen fighters but they spent most of their time in the mountains. I don't know what effect it had when the UK and US supported the Mujahideen. I'm not sure we gave them any heavy equipment. Knowing the British, we probably held up a candle for them

Hi Rudel_chw Its on the Afghanistan map. I have some strange things happen on the Afghanistan map! I got the fire extinguishers to behave afer I copied and pasted them from the Caucuses map. See my post above, I have instances where personel hide under hard standing markings! Also, despite there being a Fix Point in the mission, I am only invited to correct the INU on the way back from a mission and not on the way out. In the Caucuses map I get the notice to correct the INU whenever I am close to a Fix Point.

I tried moving the fire extiguisher all over the place but it was still floating above the hard standing.I ended up copying and pasting the smae group from another mission and it woked fine. I also noticed that in the Afghanistan Map, at the Jalalabad airport, if I put any personel too close to hard standing markings, they appear under the markings in the mission editor!

I deleted the group from the Afghanistan mission and copied exactly the same group from a Caucuses mission, without moving anything, and it all works fine. No more floating fire extinguishers!

Hi razo+r Yeah, I tried that. I moved it all over the place and it still floats.

I have a Nav Fix position set in my mission some 18km from the airfield. However, the aircraft does not request a nav fix on the flight out in the mission, but it does on the way home. This is on the Afghanistan map. I have other missions, on the Caucuses map, where a Nav Fix is requested virtually on takeoff. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi Guys Recently I have noticed that the M92 Fire Extinguishers (01 to 03) all float above the ground! These are the fire extinguishers from the Massun92 Asset Pack, since incorperated into DCS. Any ideas? Thanks null

Hi Weta43. I'm as dumb as a dishcloth sometimes! I forgot that it was there! I ended up creating a new mission and then using the multi selection tool to copy and paste (CNTRL-C, CNTRL-V) everything from one mission to another! DOH!

Hi Guys I found a YouTube video by VOLK and he addresses this issue. It seems that you need to have Russia or USA in your coalition for the GPS to work. I've tried it on a new mission and used the cold war coalition setup but added Russia from the neutral coalitions. The ABRIS works fine. Now, if only there was an easy way to add Russia to my coalition in an existing mission, ED, please, if you wouldn't mind! Oh, and I tried creating a new mission with a Russian Ka-50 III and copying it into my mission but it comes in as a Neutral faction

Thanks Weta43. I reset my mission date to 1987, two years before the soviets baled out of Afghanistan but it made no difference. Maybe is just doesn't work on the Afghanistan map!

Thanks for the info, Weta43. Which leads me back to my original question, why doesn't the KA-50 Black Shark ABRIS work on the Afghanistan map?

BTW ... I know that the ABRIS relies on GPS. Can someone confirm if there is GPS coverage on the Afghanistan map or if I am just doing something wrong.

I have a training mission in the Afghanistan map for the KA-50 Black Shark 3, the Mi-24 and the Su-27T. Everything works fine other than the ABRIS in the Ka-50! I have a route to follow but the ABRIS has a constant message, "Nav Error" whether I start the mission hot or cold. I started cold and dark and did a full INU alignment and I got the message. I started hot and got the message. If I fly using the autopilot the waypoints are working, it's just the ABRIS that isn't ... the aircraft is stuck at the takeoff airfield, according to the ABRIS, and does not follow the route. Any ideas guys? Thanks Mi-24P Afghanistan Training.miz

AAARGHHH! This is driving me nuts! I've been playing with this for days. I am unable to host multi player missions! So far I have tried setting up a multi player mission directly in DCS ... I can play the mission but nobody else can access it. I can see it in the multi player server missions window but it doesn't show for anyone else. I then tried it via the DCS Server ... Again, I can play the mission, I can see the mission in the Multi player server window but nobody else can. I have attached both my router settings and my Norton 360 settings ... I created a port forwarding entry on the server for both TCP and UDP just in case. The "Internet usage" just shows the route of the permissions settings. The following two images are the Traffic Rules in Norton 360. Again, I set seperate rules for TCP and UPD (Ignore the "Edit Rule" Titles, I edited one to save doing two snips) When I test the 10308 port on my computer using PowerShell and "Test-NetConnection -ComputerNamer 127.0.0.1 -Port 10308" it works fine. When I try testing the port using an on-line service (YouGetSignal.com) the port fails. That's it guys. I'm at a loss. Any ideas? Many thanks Nial

Okay. Thanks again for your help

Yep, that seemed to work., thanks. But if I open Scratchpad in Mission Editor I don't get the tick box or the +L/L icon. Is that normal behaviour?

I don't know what I was thinking but I have deleted the +L/L box from the Scratchpad window in the F10 map. I have downloaded the mod again and put a fresh script in the Saved Ganes/Scripts/Scratchpd folder but I can't get either the check box or the +L/L box to reappear! Any ideas

These are probably unrelated ... However I initialise the INU - Fast, Normal or Precision - it's not long before the AC-POS CAL DATA light comes on. Even after I have reset the INU using a Fix Point, it's not long before it comes on again! I have seen it before but it isn't something that comes on usually. Regarding the Home Airfield button - my home airfield is missing in Airfield 1. I end up resetting it at the beginning of the mission. Ignore the title of the attached mission, I've added it to include the Ka-50 III over time. If I recall, I'm using the Massun92-Humans asset pack. Any ideas?

Thanks. Hopefully they'll fix it soon. These little things don't seem so important but it just spoils the emersion.

Thanks admiki, I'll knock up a quick test mission with the vehicle parked line of sight on the airfield. Did you say this ahs been reported or should I submit a bug report? Thanks

Hi admiki I have uploaded the "Mi-24P Operation_Haven" mission by spooky32. My missions have MODS but this mission is clean. I have the R-828 in the Mi-24P tuned to 50MHz FM and there is a ATC MTLB at the mission objective also tuned to 50MHz FM and repeating a morse code sound file. You can see from the track file that I try to tune the R-828 two or three times during startup but the Tuner light does not light up. I am using Channel 1 but 50MHz FM but the frequency is also tuned to Channel 7 by default. I've tried both. Kind regards Mi-24P Operation_Haven.miz Mi-24P Hind.trk

Just to test, I have placed a "GPU APA-80 on ZIL-131" truck in my mission. I have tuned the frequency to 25 MHz FM with a signal strength of 30. I have a morse code WAV file that he transmits on a loop. In my Hind I also set the frequency to 25 MHz FM on Channel 1. I have the ARK U2 turned on, using Comm initially. I set the R-828 to Channel 1 and press the Aut button to tune ... NOTHING! I cannpot get the R-828 to tune. Just in case it tuned in under cover and it's just the Tuner light that isn't working, I tuned th eradio to th eR-828 but there in no morse code! I also tried this on the preset Channel 7 (50 MHz FM), in both the plane and the truck. I have tried this in other missions. I have watched a couple of YouTube videos and some say set th efrequency in th etruck to AM modulation, but there is no AM option in the Hind's R-828 radio presets. Besides, I tried both AM and FM.4 Any ideas? Thanks guys.

Perfect. Thanks guys

When flying the A-10C out of Gaziantep, the barometric pressure is 2762. When I try and adjust down to that in the mission I can only get down to 2790 which is still 300ft AGL. I can't get it to zero. Any ideas? Thanks
