[ACLS cannot get me to land properly]

I am having trouble getting the ACLS to couple with the ship.  I have reviewed "Wag's" Tut on youtube many times.  I have tried stock and private missions, as well as built my own.  In Wag's video he is told to fly mode 2, but flys mode 1 anyway.  He does not use a switch or command to change modes.

On a user night mission the acl locks on and displays mode 1.  ATC tells me to fly mode 2.  It will not CPL in any version of a Case 3 mission I have tried.

Is there a known bug?  I have a Real life Commercial Pilot Lic.  I have had DCS 15years and a bit.  I have been sim flying since the Black and white Microsoft from the late 80's.  "Mac in a backpack"

I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football Lucy is holding.

[Forest Fires, Working "Bambi-buckets" and a CL 415 Super scooper !]

Just amazed by the response to this post!!!   As a note, you can have bambie buckets as a cargo from one of the mods, and adjust the weight.  The most recent update also has a trigger to stop a "fire effect".  So in regards to making a mission with helo's and buckets, triggered actions could start some spot fires, then require the hover parameters to be met, cancel the smoke and fire effect.  Then trigger a white smoke effect (Steam).  The first page of this post shows an SAR server, they have a neat script.

 

Even without a 3rd party MOD for a CL-415, or special effects for the Helo's water buckets, I think there is an ability to make some cool scenarios.

 

I have some ability with the mission editor and it's triggers, but not with scripting.  There should be enough talent out there to get a MOD together, that brings these existing options together.

 

If I win the lottery, I will pay a 3rd party to make the CL-415 DCS quality.  Final note: To all those quoting "Combat Sim", somebody has to put out the fires that War causes.

If I were to win a lottery, would a design team consider a forest fire fighting mod.  In the least a water drop animation for the bambi-buckets.  And the ability to put out a fire and smoke effect, swapping it with a steam effect.  The big wish would be the CL-415 water bomber, and a water/retardant drop effect to go with it.

[TOO1 vs TOO2 confusion]

SO along this topic. I set a mission with 4 tgts, spaced so I could see them all in the tgp fov. In too mode I programed each bru-55 with too1 and too2 coord's. When all was in range, I launched one after the other so all four were in the air. The first three missed and the last went right where it should.

 

Did I simply miss undesignating after the 4th bomb was set? Going to try now... anybody else's results/method would be nice to hear of.

 

Tremclad.

[Mission 1 AW Shoot failure]

Thanks. I suspected something like that, the "AW Shoot" fail message was confusing. Time to brush-up on formation flying. Too much Rambo time I guess.

[Mission 1 AW Shoot failure]

Just purchased the campaign. After takeoff, following all instructions.... nearing Air Carrier, as co-pilot switches on lights. Suddenly rpm drops right out and crash to ocean. I have been flying uh-1h for hundreds of hrs, I know my rpm limits.

 

After action report only shows "AW Shoot" as reason for crash?

 

Help?!:cry:

[Model for Z-brush required]

Is there anybody out there that could direct me to an .obj file for the L-39? Anything compatible for Z-brush 4r7.

 

The model will only be used to experiment with paint schemes.

 

I would like to use z-brush poly-painting to quickly visualize different schemes for a real life L-39 paint.

 

If you can help, please respond to: mountainchris@hotmail.ca

 

Thanks
