Fantastic! this works!

I am looking for the number/reference of the Collective Angle. It requires to look in the console and enter a command there. But you need the developer version of DCS to see this. Does someone have a table of the cockpit parameters for the KA50 bs3? tx

added a fourth mission.

In some in game screenshots one can see birds. I would like to add them to a single player mission. But I dont see any way how to trigger them so they start appearing. Is there a way to make them appear in a mission? The DCS manual only mentions the Bird Strike Probability (which is not the visible birds but only the theoretical birds).

I have found out that it uses the method of TRANSVERSE MERCATOR to map (x,y) -> (Lat, Lon). Here is the input for the Persian Gulf PersianGulf: { central_meridian: 57, false_easting: 75755.99999999645, false_northing: -2894933.0000000377, scale_factor: 0.9996, },

Hey @Rudel_chw, i am totally new to building missions, so happy to get some feedback. I think over time I can make them even more polished.

Here some training missions I have created for KA-50 Black Shark 3 pilots: I have fleshed them out with audio and visual effects to make them more interesting. DEFIs Training Mission [01] - Teardrop Landing in the KA50 Black Shark 3 DEFIs Training Mission [02] - Landing on a Ship in the KA50 Black Shark 3 DEFIs Training Mission [03] - Landing on a Skyscraper in the KA50 Black Shark 3 DEFIs Training Mission [04] - Landing on an Oil Rig in the KA50 Black Shark 3 DEFIs Training Mission [05] - Observing the In-Ground-Effect (IGE) in the KA50 Black Shark 3 ... DEFIs TRAINING MISSION [10] - LANDING APPROACHES & FORMATION FLYING EXERCISES I am a new bs3 pilot and learning myself. Leave a comment if you like them as I am likely adding more of them as I keep practicing.

Oh does it need that OFF and ON to be able to trigger the 'switched condition' ? Or is SET FLAG VALUE = 10 also working? Because I got the REPETITIVE ACTIOn to WORK with TIME SINCE FLAG and SET FLAG VALUE at the same time. BUT I needed to wait 2 Minutes before it even started playing in the first place! This is why initially I thought it wasn't working! THANKS!

I am trying to trigger playing a sound file repeatedly. When I set Repetitive Action -> Unit inside Zone -> SOUNT TO ALL (play wav file) it just keeps playing the wav file directly without sufficient gap between constantly almost all together at once (around 1s lag). Which is obviously wrong. When I try to set Repetitive Action -> Unit Inside Zone + TIME SINCE FLAG1 = 25 -> SOUND TO ALL + SET FLAG1 VALUE =10 it doesn't work as expected. I would think it counts how much time has passed since Flag was last set. And if it's been more than 25secs it should play it again. But nothing happens. Initially I have set a FLAG1 value =0 after 3secs into mission to trigger the Repetitive Action. What is the easiest way to play a sound file repetitively when Unit inside a zone?

BM21 --- 420 secs. --- 7 minutes BM27 --- 840 secs --- 14 minutes MLRS M270 - 560 secs - 9 minutes page 320 Ok thanks I will pull this up. Ok 14 minutes that's a very long time indeed! when you put new warehouses somewhere there is an option to set the supply route. Is this necessary? How does it get supplied? Do I need to make some trucks go back and forth? What are these supply arrows for? I dont see that anywhere in the manual.

Ok thanks. I will run it and see how long it takes to fire again. I had to trigger AI Push Task for the units though to trigger the Fire at Point Action. Without that I think it's not doing anything straight away anyway. that way the units start aiming immediately and then it takes around 2minutes before the first salvo (BM21, BM27, MGRS). You guys are very helpful. Thanks a lot.

Ok I am gonna try all this now. And when you place a unit somewhere outside of an ammo warehouse or supply location. What is the minimum you need to place there to be able to keep firing? How fast until the unit fires again? There is no option to set anywhere? I need to trigger this somehow? Thanks!

Oh really? is the setup deploy time marked anywhere? For the Fire at Point task I need to trigger AI for Unit ON as well as AI Push Task that particular task right? You are saying I ONLY need the fire at point task without any AI trigger? The BM21 now fires after like couple of minutes. But the BM27 no luck. Do I need to make sure that the target is WITHIN the circle or outside of the circle of the unit when you select fire at point? Oh I think I get it some units have a RED circle (max I presume) and some units have a RED and a smaller GREEN (min range I presume?) circle? where do you turn on acceleration? thanks

I have placed a MLRS BM-12 Grad inside a coalition airport (RED) which has a supply icon there. I have activated a "Fire at Point" Task, selected a point within its radius and have set Weapon to AUTO and Rounds Expend to 5. In the Trigger Menu I have entered two triggers. One trigger to activate AI of the specific Unit after 2 seconds. One trigger to active AI Task Push (Ground Unit - Fire at Point) after 5 seconds. However when I enter the mission the BM21 is just idling and not doing anything. I want it to start launching rockets at the point and perform its task. What am I doing wrong?

thanks! is there a way to make them disappear once passed through? or play a sound file every time a gate is passed? I can only see setting up trigger zones but they are vertically unlimited so one would need to set complicated altitude conditions to make this work for each and every gate. is there a better way?

Are there no rooftop helipads on any of the tall buildings on this map? I have scouted the whole area now with a Cessna, I dont see any spots on top of tall buildings marked as helipads.

I am trying to play a Radio Transmission upon starting the mission. I have tried setting an uncompressed, compressed 16-Bit WAV file 44.1kHz and also OGG file, but nothing plays back in the mission. I can hear the static from the radio transmission but not the voice file. I have turned up POWER as well to 600 but to no avail. PS. the Frequency is set correctly to 124 just as the unit is by default. Does someone know what is the correct procedure and format to playback audio files in a mission?

Hey. I can see you have the gates in here. But where in the mission editor did you turn this on? I dont see any trigger zone defined anywhere.

I want to know what coordinate system that DCS uses to convert from X,Y locations on the map to Lat,Lon on the geographical maps. Does it use a specific model for the ellipsoid of the earths surface, a flat earth, or some other kind of approximation?

Oh I see. so I suppose I cannot look into the source code of the DLL right?

Oh I see. Where can I find the link to the Discord? I will come and say hello!

hey @Insonia, I am trying to find that code, in which folder is this? What's the file called? Reason why I want to know is I want to find out what coordinate system or approximation from lat/lon to x,y that DCS is using.

Oh thanks I will look into this function. So there is also an 'input' of the map origins since x,y is counted from x0,y0 so it converts (x0+x, y0+y) to lat/long and respectively. Where can I find the origin of the map (x0,y0) ? oh that's sly. thanks.

Oh I see. how do I find the origin of a map? I am looking at Persia Map here. Can I find the origin of the map in Lat/Longitude somewhere?

Hey, I am looking at a mission.lua from inside a mission .miz file. The units are localised on the map using an X, Y like this ["type"] = "Cobra", ... ["y"] = 7940.8526241175, ["x"] = -128412.47133601 How do you map this x,y to Lat, Long? I see in mission editor that this unit is roughly at N25, 0.754' and E56 19.665'. But using online converters from Lat/Long to X,Y it doesn't give me back anything close to the x,y used here in the mission file? Can someone explain to me what is the mapping x,y ? What does it reference and how can I convert it to Lat/Long? Thanks! Converters: https://latlongdata.com/lat-long-converter/ https://tool-online.com/en/coordinate-converter.php
