Hi, does anyone know why there is no fire/ smoke on launch of AGM-84e from F18 or other as have not been able to find anything on this and thought might be something awaiting fix on new patch but still nothing ... any info will be great

wow sim city released and what do you know , servers been up and down for 3days well done EA that was always going to work cant even play single player sucks ! yip well done indeed

oh no that's sad been waiting ages for this and was so looking forward to it being fixed :(

wow how to spark peeps , say there's an update but the updater doesn't work "yet" .... not really much use than is it... and yes i see the other posts but to be fair i shouldnt even have to go on a forum to look this stuff up-

well 1 trick that works for me most of the time maybe not the correct thing ... as long as you know where the missile is coming from pre set flares (in advance) to 6 in a single burst , release flares while making u turn away from missile and 90% it takes the bait as long as when it gets to me its directly behind ---

Mouse Cursor Flicker? Tried searching for this but no joy, when in cockpit and try to click on any knobs / buttons the cursor flickers between in game cross and normal mouse and makes it tricky to get some of the smaller buttons , this didn't used to be like this before the updates.. anyone else getting this or does someone know an easy fix to remove the standard windows arrow so it doesn't flicker between the 2 :) would be nice

Yay !!! new patch now works and load times back to almost normal speed THANKS !!!!! :D

Well tried it several times and even after update 6099 the load times are so slow and still stutters (for less time) at the beginning, i can't notice any significant change in the game to cause all this additional load times.. will wait and see if any further updates help -- is there any way to prevent auto-updates so can can remove and putt back to original 1.2.1 ?

how do you get 6099 -- mine is not updating past 6055 ??

i Got SSD and still same stuttering .. sad as kind of puts me off playing waiting so long for loads - grrr

After getting another update seems my Load times from selecting a mission to actually getting in before it finishes stuttering like a windows 98 machine (for the first 10 seconds of play) seem so ridiculous, almost 45 seconds, this used to take no more than 15 seconds --- Anybody else having this or is it just me ?? Suppose gives me time to go make a coffee and wait for the epileptic fits to finish .. This is when making a mission with mission editor than clicking the tick to play it very simple mission no more than 20 units 2 planes (PC is i7 ) and never used to get this ..

Anybody else noticing if play at game time of 6am missiles and CAP missiles have blue smoke , any ideas as to why ?

Hi Guys .... Well i have been trying many different ways over the last year and not sure if this is the "correct" way but Works for me on all my own levels i build - have attached a remake of the original also added "invisible" For Ground JTAC i use "Perform Task" for drone or Air JTAC should automatically be in there already then you can also use "Perform Task - FAC assign Group- as found Drone does not always pickup 3 Infantry alone putting a ied on a road (for example) not so good on infantry only seems to miss them - but these are my own findings so some may be wrong but give it a try and let me know if need any other info i could try help :) JTAC.miz

Wow thanks Druid, that makes many months confusion allot easier... although if i can also ask if possible to give similar example if not the same but with "drone" or air support ?? i have tried this and works fine for ground afac but using drone is another tricky one i cant get my head round -- Im simply setting a trigger zone and on entering zone want drone to call out to me target in sight etc.. at most all i can get is JTAC available in menu but no callout or warning and this still doesnt work as no response after contacting jtac ... any help would be great .. thanks for all the info tho :)

mmm strangely this is what im getting as well and never used to until 1.20 any help on why or if there is something failing to do ... :)

Sorry but i cant find anything on this but does anybody know how to use as im guessing this is replacing "uncontrolled" which there was a trigger for start - but cant seem to figure this "late activation" any info please :)

Does anybody know if this will be coming out soon or whether everything in the future is going to be through DCS word so i can stop waiting for it ?? Sorry sure this has been asked somewhere before ...... (old school but prefer the standalone as cant be bothered to change all keys and mappings and settings etc .. yet again)

is there anyway to trigger a "data Link" attack order to MFCD when creating a mission lets say when passing a waypoint ?? Without checking in to AFAC im trying to create a recon mission which changes to an attack mission after WP3 , i can set trigger for message with coordinates but just wondering if can send a data link as would be so much better as tend to know it of by heart after played a few times ...

New Patch arrival date ??? anybody know when the new patch or new P 51-d beta is coming out ??? :pilotfly:

Well i have only noticed this at Nalchik ... not anywhere else but than again i havent taken off from all but 3 times in a row at Nalchik and only way is to leave stick till last moment than pull back as bounces allot .... :)

thanks for that will give it a try :)

Hey All .... I'm trying to find any help with using mission editor , i have been using it for some time now and gone through the manual and several you tube clips but still keep getting stuck with several issues .. any help or you tube videos will be great - In most cases it using Triggers i like to have for example a B1 (pinpoint strike) on orbit than on its waypoint 2 i have 6 targets set for it to strike when im ready (using F10) so i set its trigger to switch waypoint to waypoint 2 , but as soon as i go into radio and F10 -(AI task switch waypoint) CRASH .... i have tried this with (Ground Attack) and still no joy however if in CAS and CAP works fine but i want the B! or other to strike set targets and than RTB -- any help would be great -- Also with JTAC if i Set trigger for attack group ( guided bomb / Laser) it always ask me to use something else and WP ?? and in many cases wont give me the targets unless i leave it with no triggers -- Sorry going on a bit now but any help with clips or info would make a lost pilot happy :pilotfly:

Hi All, I have looked around at many different threads and just throwing this question in to see if anyone can help- All my missions are done through mission Editor .. Is there a way to locate ground targets WITHOUT JTAC (using Radio) ? I have tried using Bullseye co-ordinates (AWACS and Other) but cant radio request them when I'm ready otherwise they all come within the first few seconds - When you ask your wingman to engage ground targets you can see a square marker in the map tad but is there a way to radio request that info or to ask for target locations .... (i simply lock onto his target than tell him to rejoin- lol cheeky but only way i can do it) I know this is a shoot in the dark but any help would be great -- thanks :)
