Never mind...I kinda figured it out. I always thought you had to place everything down separately, each vehicle being a separate group, versus clicking add vehicle and changing the vehicles under that group so the entire site is one group...How did I not know that????

Looks like you went in and set everything up then created a template for it? Also, what's the difference between the 3 different radars on the Patriot system?

That was it. For some reason I never even thought about checking any of the advanced stuff. Usually with templates predone from DCS everything just works versus doing it yourself. Now I want to figure out the Patriot site from CH versus the stock DCS one. Pretty sure I can use the stock one as a guide and go from there.

They're not even turning on. You can hear the trucks running but the 2 radar trucks don't ever raise their radar dishes up. Just sit there.

Where'd you snag that at? That in game or am I high? Lol

How'd you get the S350 site to do anything? I have one placed; 1 CP truck, 1 STR truck, 1 SR truck, and 2 9M96D LN trucks. They're within 1600ft of each other. Is that 2 far away or am I missing something? I attached a photo of what they are currently doing, which is nothing...Well, in the pic, I moved them much closer and still nothing.

It'd be nice to have the C-12 in game, especially with Iraq and Afghan maps out. Those little guys did not only transport but C2/SIGINT operations as well while I was in both theaters of combat. Need to have US Army, Air Force and USMC liveries as all services use it. Hopefully can do the RC-12 Guardrail.

Just curious what bindings you're using for the extra "trigger" and hats for? Looks like one is a 4 way and one is an axis mini joystick style. I have the TM Warthog HOTAS setup but I like the extra hats that can bolt onto the Orion 2 ViperAce EX stick and debating about changing.

Does anyone know the proper setup for an S-350 site? Is it basically one of each under the [CH] S-350? Or, does anyone have a template for these?

Thank you!! Apparently, I was SEVERAL updates behind on the Armed Blackhawk...Downloaded it and it had the M134's back.

Doews anyone know where I can find the minigun mod at? Looking at the older pages of this post and the links Tanuki44 posted no longer work.

Not that I've seen but either way, I don't see where they're at to place them don't.

Just like it says, do helicopters need seats in them to transport troops? Say I use the UH-60L and I have it as the MH-60L. When it does that it ditches all 3 rows of seats. I tried to embark troops on it but they just kinda stood at the door and didn't enter. Granted, I could have been me with the setup but the setup also worked on the CH-47F just fine. So, just wondering if having seat in the aircraft makes a difference or not.

Is there any way to make templates from one map work on another map? Like, Syria to Afghan or Afghan to Syria?

Nothing? Well that sucks...Just about all airfields in Afghan had the LAMS-A's on them for maintenance work. Definitely need them to help with realism...

Bagram was one of the main bases for the A-10. When I was at Bagram, the Air Force had HH-60 "Pedro", A-10's, and F-16's.

Yeah, I did that for certain planes. I like building the load out and just having them uncontrolled.

I kinda thought so but I wanted to ask anyway. Not a big deal but it's bugging my OCD some Lol

Is there any way to change in the LUA for Afghan, mainly Bagram, on what aircraft go where in terms of parking pads? Trying to stick some A-10's where they would go while I was there but it's not letting me and the A-10 doesn't have a Take Off From Ground feature.

So, there are 2 burnt up airframes on FOB Salerno where the tech supply warehouse was back in 2011-2012, I'm sure it was there before and after my time there. The only building that is big enough right now to match what was there in game still isn't big enough to cover them. Ever with a zone over everything for scenery removal, the burnt airframes won't disappear. Any suggestions?

I want in on this!! Like @JuiceBox I was also a Blackhawk crew chief that was in Iraq (COB Speicher and FOB Diamonback) during the Surge in 07-09 and twice in Afghanistan; FOB Salerno in '11-'12 and Bagram in '14. I just downloaded the full Afghan map this morning and I'm working on setting up Salerno to the way it was while I was there, before out DFAC got leveled by a VBIED on June 1st 2012. Anyway, would love some missions in the east where I spent my Afghan time. @JuiceBox you need any help, I can give my two cents on what I saw and things around Salerno. @toubey when I was at Salerno, Aco 1-82 Wolfpack would run one loaded rocket pod, one loaded HML rack, and a combo pak in the belly. So, one loaded 19 shot Hydra rocket pod, 4 Hellfire K models, full load of 30mm in the combo pak, about 325ish rounds. They wanted more fuel then rounds. Can always hit a FARP. Salerno was only about mile high in altitude so the 64's had a little bit more power then some places but performance definitely suffered. @JuiceBox you can change the time on Google Earth and go back in time. I have Earth pulled up and I'm looking at the 6/2011 imagery, just a few months before I got there.

Oh, and short Jersey barriers...I see the tall T-walls but not seeing any short ones. Found the Jersey barriers. They are called something else.

Just downloaded the full Afghan map. Took advantage of pre-release and some miles I had. Was looking to see if there were any GWOT hanger mods. I'm mostly looking for the LAMS style shelters. We called the LAMS-A. I'm looking to setup Khost Heliport, even though it should be called FOB Salerno...CHANGE THAT E.D.!!! PUT THE DAMN FOB NAMES ON THERE!! Anyway...Definitely need those LAMS-A's to get Salerno to where it needs to be.

Really?! Well alrighty then. Usually that dragging and dropping doesn't end well for some things but I'll take it! Thanks man! Now to see how long that'll take... 27 mins...Not as long as I thought for 600+GBs...

Been looking at the Iraq map lately and I want to get it. The map itself is roughly 111GB. My DCS folder is sitting at 600+GB. The drive I have DCS installed on also has another game on it as well. I currently have 183GB free out of 931GB; it's a 1TB NVMe. I have another 1TB SSD available I can transfer DCS or even my other game to. How hard is it to swap DCS to my open drive without having to completely uninstall it and then having to reinstall all the mods and modules? I'm thinking just dragging and dropping won't end well, unless it's that easy.
