so if we use the latest modelviewer2 from link above, and install it somewhere else... 1) how do we get the livery plugin aware of available liveries (i.e. both listboxes are empty) ? 2) is it possible to set the default model/livery to load via autoexec.cfg / autoexec.lua? i wasnt successful getting it to load anything from: C:\Users\<my-LOGIN>\Saved Games\edModelViewer\Config\autoexec.cfg using for example... LoadModel("CoreMods/aircraft/FA-18C/Shapes/fa-18c.lods") LoadLivery("FA-18C_hornet","Fictional UK Air Force")

Did you fix it Kolyma ? I've got the same problem now, model loads automatically but livery does not. Used to work fine a few months ago. I've put the same entries back in autoexec.cfg I think i was using the original modelviewer program previously, not modelviewer2.

token post to get on the list :)

Also looking for 1 or more people to fly together with, either adhoc meetups or part of virtual squadron. i.e. more than jumping on server with randoms who are doing their own random thing :) i'm flexible in evenings and weekends

if you're the RIO in multiplayer, and the pilot drops out of the game for whatever reason, will MrAutopilot takeover ?

Hi - i've got same problem as post 125. Tried referring to the second texture in each of the Vert Stabliser bort number areas..but i still see the default "bull" logo appearing at bottom of my new logo. I'm using the description.lua from the OP --Texture Map 1 {"f18c1", 0, "f18c_ww_1_dif", false}; --Texture Map 2 {"f18c2", 0, "f18c_ww_2_dif", false}; -- U.S. Navy -- Vertical Stabilizer {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_KIL_R_100", 0, "f18c_ww_2_dif", false}; {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_KIL_R_10", 0, "f18c_ww_2_dif", false}; {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_KIL_R_01", 0, "f18c_ww_2_dif", false}; {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_KIL_L_100", 0, "f18c_ww_2_dif", false}; {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_KIL_L_10", 0, "f18c_ww_2_dif", false}; {"F18C_BORT_NUMBER_KIL_L_01", 0, "f18c_ww_2_dif", false}; What have i done wrong (or not done at all) ? Edit: I hadn't done the Kuwait etc lines (assumed i only needed to do USA if only going to use this livery on USA for example)

Been learning F18c past couple of months on open beta, now looking to join someone(s) for casual sensible multiplayer training or action. Comfy with A10c, learning AV8b, happy to use other post-ww2 aircraft too. My availability is flexible in evenings and weekend (Australia Eastern based)

sounds great. especially keen if there's something similar in oz

as long as the PC is driving the sim fast enough, should be fine. i got nauseus from the Oculus DK2, but recent applications and current gen devices are fine. You get used to it over time too. Threw around f18 for 40mins last night in Oculus and felt fine (hadnt done any flight simming in past few years) maybe find a local person / shop / internet cafe to try it first?

the dedicated server referred to in the OP, is the hardware. It is still running the normal DCS World multiplayer software to host the server. The upcoming dedicated server SOFTWARE i would expect to have no GUI interface, i.e. you script it to startup when server machine starts/reboots based on configuration files. Ideally admins can connect to the dedicated server software remotely, without having to use windows remote desktop. Should also require less resources, as it won't be rendering game graphics on the server. In short...easier to manage, more reliable and less footprint.

5 - set intervalometer (... i can't find this anywhere??!?!?) Turn on tooltips when you cannot find things, then turn it off again. It is by itself, near your left hip, a little dial. (probably the control you refer to in step 6)

how about the MECHANICAL sight uncaging though?

what about the bombs ?

and deer running across every runway

I think you're both wrong (happy for someone else to knock me down :) ) When people create a server, the DCS MP advertises the servers existence to the master server in the background, so that potential clients can find a game via the master server. i.e. the master server doesn't actively look for DCS servers out on the internet. No game traffic goes through master server, though a hosted server will report number of players connected etc.

yep, would be amazing to play DCS:CA... in the garden on a loverly summers day, on the bus, on the loo, via the McDonalds wifi after your date has ditched you for not taking her to a fancier restaurant...

Personally im happy to keep my sims away from steam. But is there a reason why those who went the BS1 plus BS2upgrade path are kept seperate going forward, and not rollup their purchase as BS2? (Deactivating/removing the old keys in the process.)

yeh I spent most of the day with a 4waypoint mission, all 10km radius of aircraft start position. The values for wp1x etc looked fine in the log. Just posted the previous one for simplicity. Is it necessary to state anything for ETA, if ETA_locked = false ? Is the comma necessary on the 3rd to last closing bracket (per http://en.wiki.eagle.ru/wiki/Part_2#Tasks )?

I have an aircraft being late activated in-air with no task. In the same ME DoScript, I am attempting to create what will ultimately be a dynamic task for it. Examples in threads vs wiki vs non updated example by RagnarDa on page 11 on this thread - all use different notation so I am struggling to know if it's my formatting that is incorrect, or I am totally missing a mandatory step. At the moment, the aircraft simply goes and lands at nearest airbase...instead of flying off to 0,0 as my code is suggesting it should do. Tried single and double quotes around each Enum/string, tried eliminating the irrelevant items (airdrome/helipad etc), tried writing the enums as TURNING_POINT (rather than Turning Point). Also tried with default waypoint set in mission editor, and without. What else do I need to do (thanks): GPmig29a=Group.getByName('mig29a') Group.activate(GPmig29a) SimpleMission = { id = 'Mission', params = { route = { points = { [1] = { ["type"] = "Turning Point", ["airdromeId"] = nil, ["helipadId"] = nil, ["action"] = "Turning Point", ["x"] = 0, ["y"] = 0, ["alt"] = 3000, ["alt_type"] = "BARO", ["speed"] = 100, ["speed_locked"] = false, ["ETA"] = 100, ["ETA_locked"] = false, ["name"] = "mywp1", ["task"] = nil } } } } } GCmig29a=GPmig29a:getController() GCmig29a:setTask(SimpleMission)

Sheesh, was only making a suggestion on how to improve the customer experience, regarding the products they licence. No problems with paying for the upgrade here. But if we've paid (probably more) for the BS2 content, would be nice to have the option to have it self contained within DCS World nowadays if there's no reason to be playing BS1.

these have been stated before: showing how many slots for each aircraft/CArms role, and how many are occupied an extra box showing any server rules such as max ping / teamspeak to use etc...instead of having to cram it into server title or write it into each mission briefing

be awfully nice if ED allowed customers the option to revoke their BS1 + BS2upgrade serials, and be issued a single BS2 full serial in exchange.

looks like a late night infomercial, without the fit actors :) "Even if you have never downloaded something from the internet before, it's so easy that you'll wonder why you didn't try it sooner."

with the comments in this and other threads, i am a little unclear... do we still need a discrete video card for the server, even with render3d=false ? ta
