Wrecking Crew

My latest mission Hueys & Hawks: El Paso is posted to Wrecking Crew Projects. Hueys are paired with Hawks to protect a Blue convoy going through a narrow pass between Novorossiysk and Krymsk. Red outposts are obstructing the highway and must be taken out before the Blue trucks get stitched. The pass in El Paso offers a great canyon to fly the Hawk through, but there is an Igla that pops up somewhere along the way. Given the current SFM state of the Hawk, this new mission has Unlimited Weapons set to On. I tried my best to hit stuff with the gun pod but was running out of ammo and having to RTB frequently to get more; turning on the Unlimited really did change the experience to F-U-N for me. You may download the mission for free from Wrecking Crew Projects and modify and host it, so if you want the Unlimited to be Off that is fine! I hope you enjoy this mission. I'm planning another that will pair the Huey and Hawk. WC

Been getting some client side disconnects recently. A server crash happened last night. Logs, mission and track is attached in the zip. WC

Wrecking Crew Projects And to you, too! Welcome aboard! WC

Hello, The new 'Pointe & Shoot' mission is available at my Wrecking Crew Projects site. This mission pits Combined Arms players against each other as Red advances toward Min-Vody Airbase. Blue must defend the base with their own armor and Stryker JTACs, and has lots of air power to bring to the battle. Pointe & Shoot Blue Air COOP: A-10C, Hawk, C-101EB, Ka-50, Mi-8MTV2, UH-1H; Combined Arms F10 All, Start 2000 04 AUG --- Summary Blue JTACs must spot Red convoys attacking Min-Vody Airbase. Min-Vody has little Blue defense so if Red can penetrate the perimeter they will capture the airbase. Blue intelligence agents will notify our forces when Red vehicles cross highway checkpoints. Sunset at 20:14 I hope you enjoy this new mission! Wrecking Crew Projects WC

THANK YOU, Crom! I'm posting Pointe & Shoot on my Wrecking Crew Projects site today. --- Thanks, HomeFries, Good work-around. WC

Add Red & Blue Bullseyes To Kneeboards http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=140205 WC

Ahh, so you are using a convention where the Bullseye is placed at Waypoint 1. Is there any marker on the Kneeboard for the Bullseye, itself, if it is located elsewhere? I can have a lot of flights in a mission, where each will have different paths. WC

How did you set up the event? Try this -- Make a Once type event Condition of Time More (2) and Group Alive (your Fw190 Group Name) Action of the Master Arms Switch You might want to add to the Action a Message To All as a test. Also, to test, make the Time More like 5-10 seconds so you can see it happen after starting the mission. WC

About 7°. I did an experiment where I put a flight path in at the ME's 0, 90, 270 headings and noticed a 7° difference. WC

Check the Vulcans And Sharks mission on my Wrecking Crew Projects site. Let me know if you have questions :) Also: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=132968 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=132956 WC

I use Slmod on the Hollo Pointe server and it works well for these functions -- admin commands to load and restart missions, kick and ban. The kick and ban can be done by an admin from the text chat by player name or by their Slmod ID #. Slmod also captures all the text chat so you can review what was typed. The DCS net log will capture UID and IP which is what you need to manually add a player to the ban list. I will share my ban list privately to server operators; it includes the reason why an entry was added. Slmod also has automated kick and ban. I've not used Servman... WC

LOL Karno maps...

Not in the ME, but you can combine the arguments in LUA script (i'm not the guy to tell you how though...). In the regular ME the Or and And could be broken up into different events, with further events to do the final logic. WC

scottyman, look here at Wrecking Crew Projects for resources and example missions. See the Flag Guide on the Resources page. WC

You can use Witchcraft to place static objects. I put SOs on the map and took screenshots so I'd have an image of each one to refer to, like this -- It took me 20 screenies to get them all. You should be able to find something that will work. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=126516&highlight=witchcraft WC

Thanks, guys! Slowhand good to hear from you! --- The new mission called Simply War is available on the Wrecking Crew Projects site. The mission is designed around a Combined Arms armor battle. A special feature of the mission allows some Red and Blue armor groups to deploy MANPADS and RPG teams using the Radio system. Lots of aircraft slots to fly: Blue: A-10A/C F-15C, Ka-50, UH-1H; Red: Mig-21Bis, MiG-27, Su-25A/T The Red MiG-21s have nuclear bombs to drop on Blue forces, but first Red will need to kill off the formidable Blue air defense with AI and Client SEAD a/c. Enjoy! WC

Time Since Flag is from the last time the flag went True. All of my missions use this to show a repeating message. Check out any one of them here -- Wrecking Crew Projects Check out the Back To School mission and the events where General Vaz Arrives and Lands. WC

Welcome to the club! "I did WHAT??" :joystick:

Can you log in to the DCS main site's e-shop? Looking at my account, I see all my modules, and when I click on the Details for any one I see the Product Key. You will need that Product Key to activate the new version. Download DCS World, the free engine, install it. Then dl the latest A-10C module. There is a Module Manager on the front page when you start up DCS World, start there. Do the same dl's for the new PC. You can de-activate the license on the older pc before activating the A-10C on the new one. WC

That's a good observation. Maybe the attacker does not refresh its threat list often enough to meet your mission scenario, because the ground units are under cover. WC

Hmmm, went to make this All Labels assignment addition to my second computer and the MOUSE_BTN_1 pre-assignment was not in that setup. Oh well, it is all working. WC

v1.2.16.39472 In Options Controls for the F-15C for the 'All Labels' assignment, went to add a Warthog stick button assignment and the Modifier field was already populated with MOUSE_BTN_1. When I Cleared it the MOUSE_BTN_1 came back into the field. I had to add my Paddle_SW modifier and then clear that combination and then I was able to set up the assignment the way I wanted to. The other mappings above and below All Labels do not have this pre-assigned MOUSE_BTN_1, and I've not seen it elsewhere. WC

In yesterday's test, the Hawks and helos continued to engage the groups. WC

I was observing Blue air & ground vs Red ground, where the Red has many of these: three groups of ~7, driving down roads. But I have a lot of missions that should help to determine if I'm having an issue with Blue ground engaging Red air -- I will keep this thread in mind and let you know... my Vulcans And Sharks will be a good test.
