Hi Guys Perhaps you can help me with this one, or at least point me in the right direction. I have a mission and I am taking out a convoy with a Ka-50 III. When the convoy is activated (late activation) a handful of infantry embark to a vehicle as part of the convoy, although, the troop carrier is it's own group just following the same waypoints as the convoy. When I take out the lead vehicle, a trigger is activated and the infantry should disembark and do their thing in making my life difficult in the Ka-50. However, when I take out the lead vehicle, the troop carrier reverts back to the original start position and then disembarks the infantry. Is there a way to get the troops to disembark at the current location, i.e. at the position where the convoy came under atack? I've seen other missions where troops disembark from ground vehicle when the vehicles come under fire. Thanks guys

By the way .... There is no sound coming out of the R-828, i.e. I can't check my sound file, and the R-828 automatically retunes without having to press the tune button, if I change the channel. I checked for sound on all radio tune options including VHF and R-828. It's all very well and good releasing module after module, and we all buy the latest module in support of ED, but how about supporting us and fixing these issues! Put down your tools, stop working on the Mig-29 module (that we have already paid for incidentally) and fix my R-828 radio!

The TUNER light on the R-828 still isn't working following the latest update (DCS 2.9.18.12722). Surely it isn't too much to ask to have the tuner ligh twork correctly? In the attached mission there is a ground unit tuned into channel 4. You can press the tuner button (S-828 ASU) until the cows come home but the tuner light does not work! Mi-24P R-828.miz

Hi GasMan3874. I'll keep testing but it's very annoying. I am unable to play in my multiplayer missions with my son who lives a few miles away.I created an absolutely basic mission, a Su-25T, no mods, on the Caucuses map. It's just the absolute bare bones and I still can't get it to work on a multiplayer server, either directly in DCS or using the server tools.

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? Su-25T - AG Training (unguided munitions).miz

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
