Greetings guys, A simple question here, which i couldn't find any answeres on here or Google. I'm sure the abswer is no, but i'm asking. I'm making some SAr and Extraction or Drop zone missions for the Huey, and i was wondering if there is a trick to place people/soldiers on deck of a platform for pick-up/embark or simply place people on deck of a oil platform and aircraft carrier? Thanks

Anyone knows the name of this landing platform in the mission editor?

Anyone knows the name of those 2 landing platforms in the mission editor? (Picture in this thread amd one folowing, Iphone rename files with same name, so only one uploads)

Totaly agree man, but what, on my side got me confused is, as you can see on my screenshot, loading 1.5.3.50487, got me the left pop-up about update, which never came up to me it didn't conccern the build i was loading at the moment,i didn't even know there was still a 1.5 beta when 1.5 was realease, good to know. :) We always learn new stuff everyday.

Greetings Guys, So here i am with my second projet, i decided to make the Canadian Forces Liveries, there is one that comes with DCS, but decided to make my own and try to match the real Camo pattern design and markings, logs etc.. but most, fool around with the speculars, i wanted to make like the pictures below, mat brown, green being a bit more reflectiv than the brown and the markings more reflective than the green, and having Scratches to show when sunlight comes on, and some mat and glossy spot to mimick paint uses and touch up or so, you can see mostly what i mean with the few pictures. I've made a little video of the WIP moving the hely around to test the final result of the tests and wraping being perfect on all parts, which was a little job to match. :) Tel me wha you think, i still need to work on the crew members skins and i'll then be able to release the livery.

Nice, thanks, you and Upuaut answered both question :) thanks a lot

Well guys, here's my first attempt at skinning in DCS, used to a few years ago in FSX, way much more complicated im here and way better here :) Specular were a bit tough to understand at first, but finaly for a first ain't that bad. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1791305/

Thanks for the reply. If you look closely at the engine exhaust pipe, the one on your screenshot pointed on my previous post the Kern Country one and mostly all your sreenshots, the pipe is straight and not coming much out of engine cover, now if you look at mine of the skin i will post in a few seconds and even Upuaut's screenshot, our exhaust pipe come's out more and is angled up. Yours has cleared ceiling/roof windows, ours they are green glass. Yours, the engine cover has 2 small opening windows which we can see the engine through, ours, does not. The model uou have is the exact model i get in ModelViewer, the Ab212.edm if i remember. I noticed it at first because i want clear roof windows and asked myself when i've seem your snapshots " how in hell does he gets clear windows and not the greenish windows. "

Question, the Huey you have on your screenshots, is the model used in Model viewer, not the same as in DCS world, how are you able to use this model in DCS or is it possible to also load in ModelViwer, the model we get in DCS?

Thanks a lot, i'll be able to complete s SAR mission, snd use my newly made RCAF SAR skin :))

A lot of tallent on here! How you guys end up being able to prefectly match the wrap on tail parts or body side and top it's awesome, i just did stripes on my fiest one and ain't that easy. never tried yet on tail. This is my first attempt in DCS, a lot different than FSX when i did some a few years ago. The Speculars itself is a challenge, took me a bit to understand and find a way to work with them so i can easily adjust or modify. But, here's my first attempt. Finished it last night, a RCAF SAR copter. A Griffon was my victim as this first portait. :) Hope you like it, i try to get close to the real thing as much as i could, but i had some problem with the color matching, end up i had to hide the Overlay layers with some highlight, it was getting all color light, the last color is a bit more less yellowish. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/1791305/

I'm really bad at scripting and coding, can you type in your script so i can create my SAR mission please? :)

Is there a way to edit the ceiling windows to make them clear and not greenish?

What country abd skin is this, im doing a skin and looking to get clear ceiling window instead of green.

Was doing some test to see what also on my side makes it crash and just came up with something odd, i tried to get all station empty and only load a single GBU on all station at a time and see if it works with only 1 station loaded, nothing on other stations ans discovered something odd, station 7 seems to be bugged, when you only load a single bomb, not matter what, i tried with a single GBU-12 and a single MK-82, when looking on F2 view, you clearly see the bomb on the station, but you get nothing on the PPA Panel, no loads at all, then i tried a single MK-82 on station 7 and a GNU-12 on station 3, then on the PPA all i see is EF1, no BL1 at all.

Nice, but it's kinda cheating since you need to know where you input the target and fly around, and taked out all the fun of comunication with the JTAC as for simulating purpuse... is there anyways to get the script working as to lock onto the jtac laser but while using the standard Communication (menu) with the JTAC?

Want's that much off topic, i asked because i've mentioned about upcoming upgrades and someone as requested linked me the changelog, so was wondering if i had latest version of the Mirage module, so basicly, right on topic :)

Are modules updated using DCS updater?

greeting guys, I'm starting to realy like this job, and a lot! :) great job Raz! :) But i am wondering, when about can we expect an upgrade/update? This product is awesome, but A/G is suffering a bit. I haven't tries A/A yet sine all FC3 can do this, doing CAS with a fast mover what was i was hoping. But now i'm sad... As for laser guided bombs, we need to cheat, know where the target is and fly over so you hope it track the JTAC laser, so sad a bit. I would rAther go in with WP (smoke) mark as to do real stuff and not cheating by looking on my map which of 10 target is being lased as to fly over for the toss. But MK-82 accuracy is so bad, and bad, that last night i droped ocer hundreds of MK-82 and BLG-67 and hitting nothing at all, even when close, no explosions, i know it might be a DCS prob thought. B ut sad my bombs simply droped far from my CCRP or CCiP cue, even thought i dive high or not, high angle or not. I remembered back then gaving prob with the a-10c tossing mk-82's when learning, but i always had some explisions or smoking something on each sorties, now last night, not a single hit out if dozen sorties, and sometime my bomb hit places so off from where it should be droping that it made me question myself on cue accuracy. Will INS help fir this with the location we place or realease point in CCIP and target lock in CCRP? Guess i need help to understand cuz it's a bit sad or frustrating, but i know you guys work on all of this, but wondering if besides the wish list if there us a list of official stuff work in progess?

so the question now, is GBU guided is working with a JTAC lasing? if so, how to, because my GBU doesn't get guide at all, i do not even see in the HUD a target designated from the JTAC, it's pointing nothing and if i drop bomb it goes for that point, not even guiding to a target supposed to near that point i made in the ME. I'm flying 2.0, in 1.5 DCS crashes when i select EF1.

Could had been the case Spiddx, but since i also tried as mentioned, airborne already, i presume the systems are all on as required from the Sim programmed, which would make the HUD on with the switch in the proper position. Anyways guys, i made 2 tests, first was, trying out a mission in 1.5, did all the start-up procedures, took off from Senaki and landed at Kutaisi, and no problems, ILS stuff came out on HUD as soon as i hit the APP button, without the gear down, so i guess i did all my start up procedures properly since my problem occurs only in 2.0, the thing it, when you read the manual at page 76, in the landing check list, the gear down comes before going into APP mode, so, the question is, is it modeled like the real stuff, ass someone mentiones eralier on my post, that gear must be down and 2.0 would be the real stuff and 1.5 having the bug, not sure. In anyways, i came out with a workaround for the 2.0 problem, since, like i mentioned, for some reason, you need to push the APP button with gear down to kinda trigger the ILS on HUD stuff, once done first, you can after get the ILS stuff with or without gear down or not, so what i do to simply go around the problem is, just after my start up procedurea, just before taxing to the runway, i simply push the APP mode to triger it, then go out of APP, and resume my taxing, and it does work, when i'm airborne and i push the APP button, i do now get the ILS Stuff on HUD.

ok, i'm the third one asking and hope it will bring up something, how do you input codes and where. No one answer the question being asked and keep talking about codes not working. I presume that, those people knows how to input them codes. Since i cannot find any tutorials on Youtube or threads on here explaining how to. Help from those people knowing how would be appreciated. Either pointing out theads found on it it or videos or pages of the nanual i might have missread or simply sharing the process on this thread. :) Thanks again.

Tried from a cold start. Same thing, i get ils but synch rny and HUD ils symb. Only with gear down. But when done one it's ok after, i get them with or without gear down, odd.

I just tried, as soon as i reached 250 ias amd lowered gears,presses APP and ils came up on HUD. Though i made something diff, i used an airborn mirage to save up time this morning... Will try later from cold start as i usualy tried, to see if i might be the cause at start up. If not working ill post track or video since in track replay some swtich position doens't follow states.
