Wrecking Crew

You use a single cell phone to connect out to the Master Server? and that is the only connection to the Internet for your whole LAN crowd? WC

And welcome to DCS World forums, Spinoni! WC

Put the airplanes down as their regular selves. (If you drop static aircraft on a parking area the ATC may have issues.) Check the box for Uncontrolled. For the big aircraft, limit the group to one plane, as two or more in the same group were rather frustrating to manage. This Uncontrolled option will keep the plane at its parking slot. You could give it a flightpath. And you could give it a Triggered Action to Start. Then use an event to Start it and it should go on its way. I have held a started aircraft in its parking slot by parking a jeep in front of it, and moving the jeep to release the plane; there were some trucks and a car in the same group -- you need to test to make sure the vehicles get out of the way.

Great idea! WC

I *think* that a DLC campaign that is protected against unauthorised opening will only play singleplayer. I *think* they are delivered as a module (as an .exe?) that has to be installed with a key. I helped a guy with his SP campaign and included two Client slots in each mission so a person can fly with another; I used Client slots instead of Player. But I just don't know if the guy submits it for a DLC that folks will then be able to MP it. WC

Like the Health Bar... Give a ROE color indication. Ooo, how about this -- lower left corner of the F10 Map unit icon is ROE and the lower right corner is Alarm State. Color red yellow green for the states. WC

I use a Teamspeak Plugin called 'VolumeControl by Goreki'. WC

It would be nice if the slots at a captured base would be removed from the player lobby, and then be able to reappear again when the proper coalition recaptures the base. WC

I may be thinking old news, but the Embark/Disembark only worked for the Russian helicopters in v1.2. Does Embark/Disembark work for U.S. helos in v1.5 and v2? WC

Well, you know me -- I stick with the releases, especially with the run up to the recent Mudspike.com Fly In. But I am glad to see DCS offering the Betas and Alphas for testing. I'm out of town for the w/e, maybe when I get back I'll go get the v2. The new versions do look nice in the screenies! WC

I've tried to open a v1.5 mission in my v1.2 and it wouldn't work. When playing Combined Arms with stopped infantry I can set the ROE to Hold and the column will go again. There is a Group Resume that you may be able to try using an event. WC

Hey bud! WC

Try the Alarm State to Green. Post the mission and I'll take a look. Ahh - except if you are on v1.5... I don't have that yet, not until it is released. WC

Set their ROE to Hold. WC

:D

Let's see, server costs, ummm, $2500, monthly Internet is $65. NTTR one time cost for $60-70? Don't forget beer and pretzels, too. :)

Try an MTLB or a BTR-RD instead. Or a Bowman or BMD-1. These are good adversaries for Hueys. WC PS Maybe they think you are bringing the mail!

my bad, CrC, for not looking at the link. Thanks for that. WC

Does a lake have a different value than the ocean? ie. can't place ships on a lake... how is that determined? WC

Feet wet! This will replace five huge zones. WC

Can a script be a solution to detect an aircraft over water? What would this script look like? :-) TIA! WC

You could turn on Flag 1 and have another event (Continuous?) that increments this Flag 1 -- that will run every second and should provide an elapsed time indication. About a quarter way down in the WC's mist examples doc there is this that uses a timer -- --- old way local units = mist.makeUnitTable({'RDR AGrp01-1'}) local flag = 10117 local zones = {'Gudauta Zone'} local zone_type = 'cylinder' local function unitsInZonesOnOff(result) local ret = mist.getUnitsInZones(units, zones, zone_type) if #ret == 0 and result == true then trigger.action.setUserFlag(flag, 0) result = false elseif #ret > 0 and result == false then trigger.action.setUserFlag(flag, 1) result = true end mist.scheduleFunction (unitsInZonesOnOff, {result}, timer.getTime() + 1) end unitsInZonesOnOff(false) --- ^^^ old way I'm not an expert on this stuff... but I hope this helps. WC

Hi whitehot, If you go to my WC Projects site and to the Mission Resources page, look at the file called WC's Flags.. At the bottom is a method to display flag values in text. Another doc there is WC's mist examples. That has a lot of sample scripts that might help you get started. Also check out the Mist guide pdf. WC

Hi guys, I plan to wait till after the new year for Win10. Heck, I'm still on DCS v1.2 -- but that's for the Mudspike Fly-In this w/e. There will be some 1.5 servers -- but don't know if any of the servers are on Win 10. WC

Here's another... http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=137307 :-)
