If I had any idea what CTLD and CSAR mean, I might have an answer. Please: don't use acronyms.

The ability for warbirds who rtb to refuel and rearm to take off and fly another mission. Right now they rtb, refuel and rearm and then don't go anywhere even if there are additional waypoints laid out for them.

Captain Orso: "don't know that much about JTAC in WWII, but from my understanding, it wasn't someone driving around and picking targets." I am trying writing some JTAC missions for a Normandy P-47 campaign I am building and found this post in my research.. You're right, Cap, you don't know much (anything?) about JTAC in WWII. The 9th US Air Force used it used it and they rode in Sherman tanks, not jeeps. They coordinated the tactical aircraft directly with the supported ground unit in real time. The technique was designed by Gen. Pete Quesada, commander of IX Tactical Air Command. To test it, he personally took a borrowed Sherman tank outfitted with radios on multiple bands so he could talk to both ground and air units. The tank rode in the van of an armored column. Above, a flight of four P-47s flew as scouts for the tank column, rotating the duty every half hour. Other P-47s were ready to scramble if the patrol needed help. The tactic was called "Armored Column Cover" (ACC). The first ACC mission was flown on 26 July 1944, the day after the launch of Operation Cobra, with 75 ACC missions flown with more than 300 P-47s. The next day more than 100 missions were flown. ACC remained a mainstay of IX TAC and later XIX TAC through the rest of the war. Doctrine was changed and TO&Es were modified so that units had a designated tank for tactical air control. " “Normandy operations, typified by Quesada's armored column cover and Broadhurst's contact cars, thus fulfilled a concept born a quarter-century earlier, amid the mud of Flanders: the notion of the airplane as a partner of the tank, as a "counter antitank" weapon. In that war, then-Colonel J.F.C. Fuller, Great Britain's greatest armor advocate, had recognized that cooperation between air and armor forces was "of incalculable importance.” ― Richard P. Hallion, D-Day 1944 - Air Power Over The Normandy Beaches And Beyond [Illustrated Edition]

I want bored people to stop asking for Wish Lists.

Ironcross, you have a Mission Editor. Make one. Sheesh.

Yes it is! Thank you!!!

Hello? Has this been fixed?

Or RTFM

I run the non-MT version updater and afterward switch back to the MT version. The updates are now there. The MT version doesn't have an updater. Clunky but it works.

Yup. Really too intense and needs to be reduced. On the Malta missions I've been building and posting, I keep the canopy open (which is historically accurate) and the vision improvement is amazing.

Any progress on fixing this?

Okay! I figured out (trial and error). I'm flying in Multicore and Multicore CANNOT be updated. So, I went to single core and updated and when I tried MultiCore Normandy 2 was there. So, my solution: update your single core version and MultiCore will update automatically. Maybe everyone but me already knew this but I'm back in the Normand 2 game! Oh, and Ugra, it looks terrific! Thank you!!!

So, I've purchased Normandy 2. The store shows I've purchased it. I'm on Open Beta. I've got the latest update. I'm using the Multi-Thread version. Still not showing up in the game....What am I missing?

As I suspected, the list of skins I kept getting instead of what I had installed in either Core or Saved Games was buried in a Liveries folder that wasn't where it belonged. I hadn't created it, it contained two skins that never have been available either from DCS or User Files (but they worked just fine). How they came to exist, I probably will never know. I just kept looking for an an extra Liveries Folder. As soon as I deleted that folder, the sim started using the Mosquito skins I had placed in Saved Games. Can't explain it. But most of my computer skills are trial and error. Thank you, sir!

Found it. Fixed it. Thanks again to all who helped. Sometimes being a little OCD pays off! HotTom (tttiger)

Sri to be taking so long, Rudel. I can't seem to make screenshots work. Not something I ever have use for....Stay Tuned....

My problem seems to be that I can't get rid of the list that appears in both Mission Editor and the Rearm menus (the one that includes that odd "Met Flight" skin). When I add new skins in either Core Mods or Users, the sim defaults to that list and doesn't add the new ones. I thought I had tracked it down by doing a search for "Met Flight" which the Windows search engine found in Saved games. The entire default list was there in a folder labeled MosquitoFBVI which was inside another folder also called Mosquito FB VI. So I deleted both folders and placed the skins back in Core Mods. Cranked up the sim and the default list still appeared. Where as it being generated, from which folder? I can fly the sim just fine with those skins but I really would like to use the skins I have chosen because they fit with historicalmissions I have written. I have wasted several days chasing this Goblin. So far, I can't find it. Thanks to both you and Art for trying to help. Being stubborn (and a bit OCD), I will keep looking for the default list folder. It must be somewhere....

WinZip, I've used it forever. never a problem. I tried to load using JGSME. Same list as in "Mission Editor." I also tried using "Rearm" while on the runway. Same list. Is there any way to figure out what folder that list is coming from? I can't figure it out.

Several: Either of the two Branff skins (Red prop spinner and Yellow Prop pinner), reflected's 418 RCAF skin (Moonbeam McSwine). The "mystery" skin to title: RAF, ML897. Met Flight, late 1943 It never downloaded that, it doesn't appear in User Files but it shows up in my skins menu in Mission Editor. Strange! Nice skin but in reality a glass-nosed econ version I probably never will use.

Rudel! Aha! I thought: Rudel is going to save my Virtual Life again! But, no. Tried that, even created new folders to place the skins in...but... When I cranked up the game I got the same limited list I've been getting. And I don't know where those files are stored. A mystery! Thanks for your help, my friend!

@razor+r: Where do I select skin country? They all are RAF skins and RAF missions so should be proper. @saburo_cz: I checked. They are all right where you said they should be. I've been flying DCS for 12 years and added many skins or many aircraft. Never had this problem before. Puzzling. Maybe someone who has the Mosquito Mod can download a few of the newer Mossie skins, place them in Core Mods and see if they show up when they download a mission and run it in Mission Editor. Do the skins you just added show up on the skins menu? Mine don't.

Downloaded several new Mossie skins from User Files. Tried them in Core Mods but they don't appear as available in the Mission Editor. Tried placing them in Mods/aircraft/mosquito/liveries. Still don't show up. Curiously, an RAF weather recon skin that I've never seen anywhere before is in the list of skins that does appear. What am I doing wrong or is there a bug?

+1 for Fallon

Thank you, sir!
