  1. As a multi-monitor user, the interface for the kneeboard is very annoying because of multiple drag/resize actions every time starting up an aircraft. It would be very nice to either change the default position to the entire screen origin (x=0,y=0) or better yet implementing a UI element in the options to allow the user to specify a different location. Thanks for your consideration.
  2. Anyone solved this issue yet? I can't figure out how to get the Ka50_3 up to show in dcs interface
  3. +1. Exported hud page doesnt work
  4. Hi Devrim, thanks for your work on these mods. Could you explain what this "little trick" to pass integrity check is? I'd like to reduce the resolution of the F14 panels to get better framerates while still being able to fly MP, but am unsure of how to install in Saved Games. Thanks ~
  5. +1 to lua functionality and min/max settings. That would be awesome. I thought the normal restocking of airfields worked though, so I just did a test and it appears you're right about the initial setting. It's acting like both the initial stock AND the max it will restock to. For now a workaround may be to have late activated AI that you can later :destroy to absorb the initial stockpile of weapon x. I hope your suggestion gets implemented!
  6. Thanks, that works for making them show up, but the paint still isn't applied to the shape. It's like it can't see the .dds I'm using for the evu. I've tried using DIFFUSE, NORMAL_MAP instead of 0, 1 respectively as well which doesn't work. I've seen some other's liveries and looked at their description.lua and as far as I can tell mine is calling it identically. Also tried saving the dds as BC2 instead of BC7 to no avail. Any other ideas are appreciated ~ Disregard...I need glasses. Thanks for the help ~
  7. Have the file, but can't get the description.lua line for the game to recognize. Anyone know what it is? This does not work: -- IR Suppressors {"mi-24p_evu", 0, "355_mi-24p_evu", false}; {"mi-24p_evu", 1, "mi-24p_evu_NRM", true}; {"mi-24p_evu", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC, "mi-24p_evu_RoughMet", true};
  8. The easiest (and maybe only way really) is to use the scripting engine for this. Here's a script that will do what you want. Just make sure that whatever AI jet you want to have messages for has "AI" in it's name and run the script on a ONCE - TIME MORE trigger. Adjust as you like. I didn't look at the rest of your mission but this should get you the messaging part. AI AAR test.miz AI AAR.lua
  9. Thanks man, gives me a lot to chew on
  10. I see I made a mistake not referencing the correct subtable within getPosition().p... Updated code below doesn't produce stack overflow, but now says the ".p" part of the position table is a nil value. -- === CONFIG === local Prefix_Table = {"CAS","CAP","AFAC","ROT","heli",} local Chief_Offsets = { x = 19 , z = -6 } -- meters x = South(-) to North(+) , z = West(-) to East(+) local Chief_Extinguisher = { x = 18 , z = -6 } -- ============== local Spawned_Chief_Table = {} local function Get_Back_Bearing(client_heading) if client_heading < 210 then return client_heading + 150 elseif client_heading >= 210 then return client_heading + 150 - 360 end end ClientSpawnHandler = {} function ClientSpawnHandler:onEvent(event) if world.event.S_EVENT_BIRTH == event.id and (event.initiator:getName():find('CAS')) then local client = event.initiator local client_Name = event.initiator:getName() local client_Country = event.initiator:getCountry() local client_position = client:getPosition().p local client_heading = mist.getHeading(client) local back_heading = Get_Back_Bearing(client_heading) local back_heading_rad = back_heading * math.pi / 180 -- radians local Offset_SpawnCoord = { x = (client_position.p.x + 19), y = 0, z = (client_position.p.z - 6) } local Offset_SpawnCoord_Ext = { x = (client_position.p.x + 18), y = 0, z = (client_position.p.z - 6) } local M4_Group_Template = { ["visible"] = false, ["tasks"] = {}, ["uncontrollable"] = false, ["task"] = "Ground Nothing", ["taskSelected"] = true, ["groupId"] = nil, ["hidden"] = Hidden_On_Map , ["y"] = Offset_SpawnCoord.z , ["x"] = Offset_SpawnCoord.x , ["name"] = client_Name.."_chief group", ["CountryID"] = client_Country , ["CategoryID"] = Unit.Category.GROUND_UNIT , ["route"] = {} , ["units"] = { [1] = { ["type"] = "VPC-NATO-MAN 1", ["transportable"] = { ["randomTransportable"] = false, }, ["unitId"] = nil, ["livery_id"] = "UN", ["skill"] = "Excellent", ["y"] = Offset_SpawnCoord.z , ["x"] = Offset_SpawnCoord.x , ["name"] = client_Name.."_chief", ["heading"] = back_heading_rad, -- It must be given in radians!

  11. I had tried :getPoint() before and got a "C Stack Overflow" crash...just tried :getPosition().p and receive the same problem. If you feel like taking a look, here's what I've got.

Most credit goes to Hardcard for the code, I'm adjusting it to remove the MOOSE requirement because it is unreliable for some reason.
  12. I am trying to get the coordinates of a spot that is offset from a known position, but I keep getting an error saying you can't perform arithmetic on a field that is a table value. local client_position = event.initiator:getPosition() local offset_position = { x = client_position.x + 50, y = 0, z = client_position.z + 50 } This doesn't work, however this (unrelated example) does work: HeadingToSub3 = mist.utils.getDir({ x = (SubPos3.x - heloPos.x) , y = 0 , z = (SubPos3.z - heloPos.z) }) It's got to be simple...but I'm kinda dumb.
  13. I can't get mine working correctly with this module either. You're not alone!
