Sure!

It can be a bit finnicky. I have come across instances where I set a JTAC with clear LOS to two assigned targets but the JTAC just refused to give me Type 1 or 2 but always Type 3 (no marking) for one of the targets. I could not figure out why. [If you have the South Atlantic map, and if you like, you can try my test training mission here that is working as far as I can tell. It includes a Reaper and Stryker with assigned lased targets, and a Predator that uses Auto Target and Lase (MIST/CTLD scripts, ie. 9-line procedure not required). In the Mission Editor Triggers, just reset the DO SCRIPTS for MIST and CTLD to point to where you unzipped and saved the mist.lua and CTLD.lua files. Select the slot with Alpha 2 Apaches as they are armed with laser HFs so the JTAC can't ask for Radar HFs. But change the PRI and LST codes to CHAN 3/C (4121) when engaging targets lased by the Predator (red smoke). The Reaper and Stryker use the default 1688 laser code.] Apache Shark Hind Gazelle TGT Trg - SA Ushuaia.zip

Also check JTAC doesn’t get killed by enemy forces that see it or becomes preoccupied with shooting at enemies they see. Make them invisible and weapons hold. LOS is critical. Run your mouse cursor over map from JTAC to target to see if there is any rise in terrain altitude somewhere along the way that could block their LOS.

To avoid the loading process when starting DCS, I have often left a training mission in pause, hibernated the PC and then resumed where I left off the next day. And the mission seems to continue fine. Just curious if anyone else does this. Any glitches one might expect?

Regarding the glideslope, I have a question. I've watched some YouTube ACLS landings, including Wags. I noticed the FLOLS ball falls below the green datum lights or glideslope (see video) when the aircraft approaches the ramp even though the VV is above the horizontal needle in the HUD. But the aircraft still catches the 3rd wire. Manual landings in such instances would normally catch the 2nd wire from what I have seen. Can anyone explain why? Because I presume the ACLS is doing a 'good textbook' landing here.

Seems like a buggy issue previously reported here (Dec 2023) except the wand was missing.

Yes, I see. Thanks. Mission was set in June at 1400hrs light scattered clouds, Syria. Not sure why the wands. I changed it to 1100hrs and the wands went away. Hmm...

Hi, my F/A-18 is all set for the cat launch but what does this hand signal mean? Could not find it in the tutorials. Thanks. DCS Supercarrier Hand Signal.mp4

IMO, it all boils down to ED having too much on their plate (and that plate keeps piling on with new EA modules every year) and the fact that we are in a perpetual beta sim environment. That's just the way it is with this sim. If every module could have the attention and focus we saw in Deka's JF-17 development (except for the lack of an English manual to date!) that would be awesome.

Yeah it's a quick to fly minimalist version of a dynamic campaign. You can pair it with Olympus if you haven't tried it yet. Would be improved if they could add an option to change the default loadout and have more varied A-G targets.

What is the diff between having the PTRK or ATRK or CMPT (near bottom right push button, TGP) boxed and unboxed? Why does it become unboxed after designation?

Check if this thread helps.

Was reviewing the TXDSG recently. ED and Chucks' manuals have not been updated on this. I watched my AI wing fox 3 some targets. His TXDSG line is initially dotted but goes solid after he says "fox 3" and then it goes back to dotted again before impact. It never flashes. (And you never see any lines from non flight members.)

On the ATTK RDR page, I do SCS depress-release then right all under 1 sec. If you have the AZ/EL page up on the next DDI, you can see the scan action - the momentary 2 vertical lines. (It's still SCS to the right even if the ATTK RDR is on the left DDI.) SCS in the direction of your ATTK RDR DDI that is currently SOI gives you AACQ-STT.

I don't think ED will budge on this if they believe it is not in their F16 modelled. But perhaps as an option under Special options? Or is it possible for someone to mod this?
