Thanks that works! Essentially you can use env.mission.theatre

Hi, Is it possible to get the terrain name (black sea, nevada, etc), or id if there's such a thing for the mission in lua? Similarly, is there a way to get the mission name? Alternatively if there's no such thing I'm thinking of using the airfields as a way to determine which map is currently active, or by using coordinates of a unit to see if it falls within certain bounds. Thanks

Button 4 seems to open the cargo hold :)

Interesting, thanks for this!

I was wondering if I should fold my wings with air to air missiles attached to them when on the carrier. What is the correct way of dealing with this, should we remove missiles first before folding, or can the F18 deal with the extra weight? I'm wondering because I am trying to make a mission with the editor and added some F18s to a Stennis. When I don't pick any loadout my wings are folded when the mission starts. As soon as I pick a loadout and start the mission, I start with unfolded wings. The weird thing is that the rest of my flight package always starts with folded wings, even if they have a loadout.

I'm doing the startup as shown here It seems the roll trim button works in the video, but in 2.5.1 I don't hear any click when I press it. Not sure if it's working?

Good stuff ED, good stuff!

Is there any chance I can play the campaign with my buddies? :)

Sad to hear... I hope both teams can keep up the high standard. Although from what I understand there is only one guy that is doing the Viggen and F14? That doesn't sound reassuring honestly.

Thanks mustang!

I'm doing one of the Viggen missions "Hunting the hunters-SP", and dcs crashes as soon as the ship starts firing (I think). Not sure if it's a mission issue or if it's something else. Here are the logs. I did the mission twice, and it crashed at the same exact moment. Logs.zip

It seems that you can press the NODF and X tank buttons without opening the protection cover first. Also when trying to drop the fuel tank, it doesn't drop the tank. I'm not sure if anything else is required before the fuel tank can be dropped. The manual says that the fuel tank can be dropped at any time. Pressing NODF does drop external stores, so that's working fine.

Mac, I'm having the same issues with the trim on my TM Hotas. If you enable the control surfaces view (right control + enter?) it shows the trim working, but somehow it doesn't always seem to affect the plane. Not sure if this is a bug or expected behavior. > Edit: up / down trim seems to be ok, but left / right doesn't do much.

Thanks for the help guys!

Yeah it's just called DCS World indeed. Thanks :)

Hey guys, I'm trying to figure out what version of 1.5 I have. I'm not sure if it's the open beta or 1.5. The update log says: === Log opened UTC 2017-01-09 10:26:52 INFO : DCS_Updater/2.6.16.58 (Windows NT 6.1.7601; Win64; nl-BE) INFO : cmdline: "E:\DCS World\bin\DCS_updater.exe" --apply repair STATUS: Initializing... INFO : basedir: E:\DCS World INFO : DCS/1.5.5.60565.216 So I'm guessing it's openbeta?

Sounds good, exactly what I was hoping for :) I'll jump on when joining the server.

Are there any squads (whatever type of plane) flying on this server or known to fly on this server which I can join? I hate being a lone wolf in multiplayer :)

It might have something to do with this. I was also going to ask what it meant.

Thanks for the explanation Sabre :) I basically had the same question. It would indeed be nice to have it on the kneeboard! Hopefully the update today (if there is any) will add it.

I think I can reproduce it, because to me it always happened when I restarted a mission in multiplayer. This is only speculation, I've had it three times so far, and it was always in the same situation. * Host a multiplayer mission * Start the plane * (Takeoff, fly around and get killed :), at least that's what we have been doing, but not sure if this is necessary for reproducing the bug) * Press ESC -> Select Mission -> Select the exact same mission (NOTE: Don't press disconnect, keep the server up, just restart the mission) * Mission will be restarted * Start the plane, and it's at this moment people start having cockpit issues with lights and trim. Issues I've noticed so far: The cockpit light switches will be on (or it turns fully on when you try to turn them), and sometimes the plane will have some some trim issues (full trim up), which you can fix by turning on the autopilot once you're in the air. Trim down doesn't help. Not sure if it's related, but it sounds like it's exactly the same bug. I thought it was only me, but yesterday one of my friends, who was on my server, had some issues with the cockpit light switches and also had this trim issue.

Stefaan, if you don't like historic planes, just don't buy them. The whole concept of DCS is just that. You choose what you want to fly. DCS world is supposed to be one big sandbox and version 2.0 will bring new possibilities, like new maps etc. DCS is still the same, you will still be able to fly your A10 or blackshark, nothing has changed. I don't think anyone knows at this moment what the system requirements are for 2.0. But I don't think it's unreasonable to assume that they will provide us with options to enable/disable certain graphics features. If we have to follow the logic "if it isn't broken don't fix it", we would all still be playing on our gameboys :) Evolution in flight simulators is good, and I think it's a must. Hardware becomes more powerful and affordable, it would be a shame not to take advantage of that.

Thanks for the update!

Thank you for listening to the community.

Sorry, but I don't agree with getting another key for the mustang. If it would have been a choice in the kickstarter, I would have never chosen a tier with the mustang in it. I would have taken something else or never would have backed at all. Don't get me wrong, the mustang is cool, but getting another key is just a waste of money. I would like to have the option to swap the mustang with another plane. I respect what you guys are doing, but to me this makes little sense.
