Wrecking Crew

My Hollo Pointe server keeps hanging since yesterday. Happens after ~2 hours. This is new. Server logs are attached. Hollo Pointe dcs.20200418-210253.zip

Taking out the comma fixed all the of error popups! And, I went back to using Mission Start for the 28 events. Your help is really, really appreciated!

Thanks Grimes, I appreciate you looking at it for me. I changed the offending Mission Start events to Once and added a Time More of 10 seconds, then to 100 seconds, but the same error showed. I changed the loading of Mist from a Mission Start to Once, Time More (90), but that did not help either. The latest version of the mission is attached. (BTW, there are 28 error notices coming up and 28 events that are using the function.) If you have any other ideas please let me know and I will try them. Do you still think this is a Mission Start bug? --- edit --> the reason I ask that last part is, should I add this to the DCS World's ME Bugs reports? Ira'dib 255P1e.zip

After this recent upgrade to DCS v2.5.6, I am getting a new error of - ...:4618: in function 'units in zones'... from a file called ~mis00002F51.lua, see the screenshot of the error The attached zip contains the screenshot, the mission, the .lua file. The ~mis00002F51.lua file is the same as the mist v4.3.74 that I load into the mission with a Do Script File action. I am running DCS 2.5.6 Open Beta as a client and also as a server and the error is coming up on both installs. DCS MIST error getUnitsInZones WC 20200216 - Copy.zip

Armor AI embeds into Pedestrian Bridge 24° 16' 21" N 55° 46' 57"E.. Cannot drive it out, either.

FYI - the 'Type' for this F-16CM bl.50 Client is "F-16C_50".

Thanks folks. I am adding the Viper to an existing mission, and don't have the module.

Which Viper is the Client? Which F-16 should I choose as a Player/Client in the Mission Editor? There are five choices - F-16A F-16A MLU F-16C bl.50 F-16C bl.52d F-16CM bl.50

ME Load Mission Action - add a checkbox for "Reload This Mission". If checked then the 'FILE' argument and 'OPEN' selector are greyed out.

I have Combined Arms and so use a Game Master or Tactical Commander slot.

Try using the 'Russia' Editor Icon Style under Settings - Gameplay.

AI Task Push, Switch To Group Activate Argument Problem When switching multiple Trigger events from the Action of AI Task Push to the Action of Group Activate the 'group name' argument does not change. Subsequent switching keeps the 'group name' argument from the first Trigger. The argument buffer should be updated with the group name from each Trigger. A mission is attached with many triggers using AI Task Push, starting with Trigger Name 'Blue AGrp51 Start'. Go through these and switch the Action to Group Activate to see the behavior.

I run two instances on the same Hollo Pointe server, with 12 GB ram. Looking at Task Manager, that takes up 50-60% of the ram resources. I tried three instances but resources were running 70-90% and freezing the server up. It is an older i7-3770 with SSD.

Nice improvement - the server instances are now named in their title bar and Task Manager. Thanks DCS!

Steer Switch No Operation In Flight Plan Mode Flying in the Persian Gulf last night when in the middle of the mission I started up in a slot at Shiraz that had a landed and parked C-130 in it. After that three of us humans lost operation of our A-10C DMS switches to change the Steerpoint with the HUD as SOI. No Steer Switch will now change the steerpoints while in Flight Plan mode, but Steer inputs do work in Mission mode. Using the current Open Beta. dcs logs WC 20190602.zip

I shall try those... Another guy suggests the same. Thanks! Ahh - they are in the mission file - ["type"] = "AV8BNA", ["type"] = "F-14B",

In this post #273 by uboats, aircraft types are defined in several dictionaries, like this - ACGenDict = {} ACGenDict[1] = {'MiG-15bis','F-86F Sabre'} ACGenDict[2] = {'F-4E','MiG-21Bis','F-5E','MiG-31','Su-25','Su-25T','A-10C','A-10A'} ACGenDict[3] = {'Su-27','Su-33','MiG-29S','F-15C','F-16A'} ACGenDict[4] = {'P-51D','TF-51D','FW-190D9'} I am using this approach to detect fighter CAP type aircraft take-offs vs ground attack CAS aircraft - it works well. My question is where to find the Aircraft Type for new a/c? I need the Ac Type for the AV-8B and the F-14B. Not all of the Ac Types are simple like A-10C & F-15C, for instance the F/A-18C Lot 20 has an Ac Type of "FA-18C_hornet". What are the Ac Types for the AV-8B & F-14B? Is there a listing? Thanks!

Thanks kaltokri. See the image - there are three highlights - yellow, green & blue. Each highlighted area should reflect the name of the server...

See the thread for the new dedicated server. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=233486 No maps required. May need to uninstall what you have now, then install the dedicated server package - https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/downloads/world/server_beta/

I have three instances of the server running. Is there a switch for changing the name in the title bar of the DCS World window from "DCS" for each server's name?

A-10C Wing Light Destroyed, Glows Within Wingtip The attached screenshot shows the wingtip destroyed and the green nav light still glowing from within the wing. Note there are a couple of wires sticking out of the wing. Suggest modeling the bulb at the end of those wires and having the bulb be the green light source. Maybe make it flap around in the wind until it breaks off :thumbup:

Hi Shahdoh! Because the a/c are already there from an earlier mission. The previous mission was a template for this one. The first mission is an air-intercept and this one is focused on ground targets. I put a lot of structure / logic into these multiplayer missions, that I want to avoid re-entering all that stuff. But anymore, I have a 'mission'.lua file for every mission and edit it with Notepad++ for all the mission internals and briefings. Copy & paste is by friend. AND(!) I don't want to have to change all those Group Name, Unit Name, Callsign and Tail# settings again :-)

Also can add an EWR and use Set Frequency for it.

ME - Copy Flightpath/Path To Other Groups, including waypoint actions, altitude, speed, etc.

Anyone know if the Carl Vinson will support the Tomcats?
