Hi MYSE1234 Many thanks. I only use the "takeoff from ground" option when I use the "stopGaps standalone.lua" It's a requirement of the lua file. From your second option using coordinates, I assume I am setting the takeoff direction as if I was taking off from road runway? Many thanks

I have removed the MODS from the attached mission but I get the same issue. AJS 37 Flight Training test.miz

I have a mission taking off from Kutaisi on runway 07. The reciprical heading is 25 and this is usually the heading the computer is set to when entering 9099. When I input 9099 and click on LS/SKU, LS on the indicator jumps to B0 and the heading flashes between 4210 and 4288. I am unable to reset LS to the correct runway heading (0740) as LS is no longer an option, but I can change L1 between 0250 and the recipical heading 0740. I have some MODS in th emission file ...

Thanks Flappie. That's strange because I used to be able to see the laser track via the TGP as it helped me locate smaller targets such as Shilkas. Anyway, if I interpret your response correctly, my mission is working as expected - the tagets are designated by the JTAC. Thanks again.

Hi guys I have a mission for the A-10C that includes a CTLD JTAC called Hawkeye1 (ctld.JTACAutoLase('Hawkeye1', 1688, false,"all"), and it has been working fine, until the recent updates. The JTAC designates the targets just fine, but now there is no lase line in the TGP. Any ideas, about the missing lase line? Many thanks Nial A-10C & FA-18C JTAC Mission - Sochi-Adler.miz

Hi guys I have a mission for the A-10C that includes a CTLD JTAC called Hawkeye1 (ctld.JTACAutoLase('Hawkeye1', 1688, false,"all"), and it has been working fine, until the recent updates. The JTAC designates the targets just fine, but now there is no lase line in the TGP. Also, previously, I just ran the CTLD.lui in the script editor and it worked fine. Now I get a messag etelling me that CTLD-i18n.lui has not been loaded. I have now loaded CTLD-i18n.lua before CTLD.lua and the message doesn't appear! Not sure what that's about! Any ideas, about the missing lase line in particular? Many thanks Nial A-10C & FA-18C JTAC Mission - Sochi-Adler.miz

Hi Guys Thanks. I delete the folders whenever I update so I'll keep on doing it. I know they get re-written on first run so I can't see that deleting them does any harm.

Right. Thanks. So is that the official answer?

Is it still recommended to delete the FXO and MetaShader2 folders, from the Saved Games folders, following an update? Thanks

Hi Guys How do you zoom when in VR? I use a button but that only zooms to full zoom. I have the button bound to "toggle VR Zoom" in the UI Layer section. I use the slider in 2D and that works fine but I'm unable to bind the slider in VR. I'm looking for a more incremental zoom rather than just jumping to full zoom. Any ideas? Also, what does "toggle VR Spyglass" do? Thanks Nial

Thanks for your reply.

In my missions I like to have things going on around me, for instance, an AI aircraft coming in to land at my active airfield. If I ask for permission to taxi while the AI plane is lining up to land, the AI will go around. I would prefer the AI to continue its landing and I will wait on the taxiway for the AI to be clear of the runway. Thanks Nial

Hi Guys I use AI in my missions as eye candy. I may have an aircraft land at an active airfield and park up. After a while, the AI aircraft vanishes. For example, I have a plane land while I am prepping my aircraft. It parks up, the pilots get out - all good so far. I fly my mission and when I return the AI aircraft has gone. Is there a time limit for this behaviour? Thanks Nial

Thanks guys. Perfecto!

Hi Guys I've come across this since the latest update. DCS crashes every time I try to access the F10 map from the attached mission. I have attached the mission file and the crash log file. HELP! Thanks dcs.log-20241002-202318.zip A-10C & FA-18C JTAC Mission - Sochi-Adler.miz

Hi Guys Thanks for your comments. I'm getting there now. I've been practicing using GPU-38 JDAM's, GBU-16 LGB's and AGM-65F's. I've been using a mix of PP and TOO targeting using both types of targeting pod. I'm going on to moving targets next. Cheers

Yeah, thanks guys. I just wondered if the waypoint marker had and affect on targeting.

Hi Guys I am learning the F/A-18C and I'm getting there slowly. I have a mission where I attack four stationary targets (tanks). Initially I couldnt hit a barn door but I figured I was too far away to accurately select the target. So I have a waypoint over the target, so when I'getting in the vacinity I turn on my targetting pod and slew to target waypoint. The waypoint is right on one of the targets. I'm talking about the small waypoint triangle. Does that have any effect when I'm selecting and locking targets? It seems that one of four JDAMS goes stupid and misses, I can hit three out of the four targets. Thanks

DOH! Of course it worked tonight but then I was in an A/G mission! What a dumbass And yes, thanks, I know about the HUD Blanking setting. Thanks again Nial

I have aligned my HMD from a cold start. In flight, I can slave the SOI to my hud and the centre dot appears. If I turn on my HMD and then slave to the HUD, the centre dot flashes momentarily, goes out and I do not see the reticle in the HMD. It used to work fine and has only started misbehaving if I carry out an HMD alignment. Can anyone else confirm this behaviour?

I know this topic is quite old, but I think it's still relevant. I personally find target aquisition to be more accurate with the ATFLIR. The LITENING pod gives a crosshair for target aquisition so it is a bit hit or miss (excuse the pun) It is difficult to get the aguisition accurate enough, especially from some distance out. The ATFLIR taget aquisition is by use of a dot, either in the diamond or with the outer brackets. Maybe I'm just using the LITENING pod incorrectly, any guidance would be helpful. I'm new to the F/A-18 and I've been practicing with JDAMs in both the TOO mode and PP mode. In PP mode I can kill static targets every time, in TOO mode I can generally kill two to three of four static target. Thanks

How does the "F10 Embark Troops" option work? I have a Mi-24P, player controlled from cold start in a single player mission. I have six troops standing by, assigned to embark to the Mi-24P. The Mi-24P is set to embark the troops - the group is named. I assumed that if I used the "F10 Embark Troops" options, the troops would embark without any other triggers. I can get troops to embark to an AI controlled vehicle, disembark etc. But I have yet to master getting troops to embark to a player controlled vehicle. Any advice? Thanks

BTW - Did this issue affect the backup of the control bindings? My backups seem unaffected. I carried out the repair as per the above and then reloaded my backup and all was well.

I recently noticed that I was unable to map most of the controls to my HOTAS throttle and joystick for the F-15C. Here's how I fixed it; I went to the module settings and disabled/uninstalled the F-15C, this then required a restart. Once restarted I closed DCS. I then carried out a repair for DCS (see link below). I reopened DCS and re-activated the F-15C module, again requiring a restart. Once restarted, everything worked fine and I was able to map my controls to the HOTAS. A useful link ... https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/support/faq/709/ I hope this helps.
