  1. There is a chance that the mission will not work correctly with any new update of DCS due to broken instruction commands, triggers, etc. You can try to open the mission in the mission editor, save it and try again. Look for the software "TACVIEW" (no worry, it's free). Aside of beeing the best way to improve your tactical skills this will perhaps give you a hint if you really finished all tasks. Make sure you press the release button until the bomb is actually gone or the ripple sequence is completed. Autopilot can only be engaged if you are within certain limits. For example: Alt/HDG: --> you have to be nose and wings level Path: --> Nose can be up or down to a certain degree but wings have to be level Alt: nose has to be level, but you can have bank to a certain degree In all cases it helps if your plane is trimmed correctly which means: you can take the hand off the stick and the plane remains in attitude. Set pinky-switch on the left side of the HOTAS in aft position. If I remember correctly this is RShift+L. Then set your lighting as desired on the lighting panel on the right back console. Only dial the "big" to intercom if you want to talk to your ground crew while on the apron. Otherwise leave it as it is, then you should be able to talk to the mentioned radio stations. Not that I know of, but you can move your seat up and down to achieve the similar effect. The switch is on your 10o'clock position in the cockpit between left console and front panel. If you set the lase time and you want the system to automatically take action, you will also have to set "Auto Lase" to on. Otherwise you do not need to insert a lase time and can do it manually. Also 12-15 seconds lase time is more than enough.
  2. Thanks a lot SNAFU, will try it tomorrow Much appreciated:thumbup:
  3. Great stuff here! :thumbup: Unfortunatelly, my .lua skills peak in "copy&paste" but I got your scripts working and adapted them a little bit. Now I am trying to get 2 shooting ranges at the same time to work. Let's call them range BLUE and range RED. I used SNAFU's excellent BDUIndicatorZone.lua script and thought I can assign range BLUE the "target" zone from the original script (works) and by creating a second script (BDUIndicatorZone-B.lua) where I assign a "target-B" zone to range RED that these zones can work in parallel. But that doesn't work. Only 1 range (I think it's the one which got loaded at last) works. For the other target area I get the read out for the active zone (99999999m off). Is it possible to have two or more ranges active at the same time? How?
  4. I had nearly the same problem with an MSI board and the "Killer" network controller e2200. My pings on servers were good, but as soon as someone joined my server their pings went to 10000 and deacreasing over time to 1000. Killing the services did great and now clients have good pings (15-90) again on my server. Thanks allmhuran and Wafflecopter for finding out and pointing in the right direction.
  5. Removing the copyright from the work of former vJaBoG32_Schleudersitz and now 10thGF_Schleudersitz does not make it original. You could also scrub off the gravure of a Patek Philippe and label it Casio. It'll still be swiss made quality :P
  6. @Roadrabbit: you are welcome, I am pleased with anyone who makes the effort and uses the charts Sure, that's nothing new. Take the example of Nalchik, place DCS and FC3 aircraft "ready to go" on the runway 06. A-10C, Huey etc will indicate a heading of 049° on rwy 06 while F-15, A-10A, Su-33 etc will indicate a heading of 055°. Magnetic vs True. That's the reason for different sets of VAD-charts. On the charts you'll find the variation TN->MN in the lower right corner, in this case 6°
  7. The charts are perfectly fine. Please consider, that there is a difference depending on the aircraft you are flying. A-10C uses magnetic, therefore use the VAD charts labeled "A-10C". There you'll find the magnetic runway heading of 229°. FC3 planes use true, therefore use the VAD charts labeled "FC3" where the runway heading is 235°. The ground charts have both, magnetic and true (229° for mh, 235°T for true) ILS information is perfectly well, also. Maybe you use different charts? Check your DCS World/Docs/Charts folder for DCS_GND_Charts.pdf DCS_VAD_Charts_A10C.pdf DCS_VAD_Charts_FC3.pdf provided by http://www.10thGunFighters.de or load them here: http://ariescon.com
  8. It's not done just pulling the T-Handle of the specific engine. With that, you just designate where the fire extinguisher agent will be sent to after pressing the fire extinguisher discharge switch (on the right of the T-Handles) see A-10C flight manual page 94, 119 & 120 "Figure 93. Fire Extinguisher Discharge Once one of the three “T” handles has been pulled, you may press the FIRE EXTING DISCH switch on the right side of the dash left or right. Pressing left or right activates the left or right pressurized extinguisher"
  9. You got that wrong, mate. QDM is magnetic bearing from the a/c to the radio station, QDR is the magnetic bearing from the station to the a/c.
  10. Thank you for letting us know. In caps lock. Colored.
  11. This... and you don't have to cycle through all ground units until you find the right one. Just hit F10 and open the map, choose and click on the unit you want and proceed as EB wrote :thumbup:
  12. That looks promising :thumbup: May I suggest a version for 90% of the Android users who do not own a pad but only a smartphone and therefor are a wee bit restricted in screensize? You could make it switchable between CDU-keybord and CDU-screen
  13. Take a look at our VAD (Visual Approach and Departure) Charts. These may give you additional possibilities for approach and departure. You'll find them here: http://ariescon.com/ look on the left side for GND&VAD Charts
  14. Ok, take Sukhumi as an example and have a look at the charts we mentioned. It is - Ground charts page 18 - VAD charts page 19 You mentioned RWY 12 which just tells you the name of the RWY because it's roughly direction 120°. On the ground charts you find following information near the threshold of RWY 12: a) 12 b) 110° c) 116°T a) is the name and roughly the direction of the runway b) is magnetic heading, that is what you want to dial your HSI at when you're flying A-10C c) is "true" heading as used by RU-aircraft in DCS ATC: Let's say ATC says something like "Fly heading 090 for 25nm to RWY 12..." this is not ment as a point which is ligned up with the runway heading. It's a point ATC wants you to start your entry from. Nothing more. ATC is kind of useless at the moment. And have a look at this website: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag/GeomagneticPoles.shtml This gives you an impression on the shift of the north pole. At the moment, the magnetic north pole travels at a speed of 55km per year. So if you want a precise heading on the runway you would have to repaint it every month ;)
  15. As Mike said, all you need is the charts provided by 10th GunFighters: http://ariescon.com/ <--- 7th point: Ground & VAD Charts They offer every information you need, whether you're flying DCS:A10 or FC3, magnetic or true heading.

  16. Super Ding, SNAFU, werde ich auf jeden Fall mal antesten :thumbup:
  17. We released the updated set of charts: http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=73419&page=16 - Aerodrome (Ground) Charts for DCS: A-10C and Flaming Cliffs 3 - Visual Approach and Departure (VAD) Charts for DCS: A-10C - Visual Approach and Departure (VAD) Charts for FC3 aircraft (new)
  18. It seems to me the problems found here could be a big fps boost, when solved. Why do we hear nothing more of it?
  19. We tested on several buildings/targets. This obviously is just a symbolization.
  20. Cookie, we tested exactly that a couple of days ago in our buddy lase training. Set up situation was something like this: Designator flying east to west towards a shelter, shooter was flying opposite direction west to east. Designator aimed the laser to the bottom of the shelter. The shooter should not have been able to find the spot with LSS, but did. After release, the GBU-12 should not have been able to track the spot, but did. Forgive me my not existing drawing skills, but I hope this sketch makes it a little more clear:
  21. Those are still valid although you might want to wait for your printing. The VAD and ground charts are being reworked since quite some time and close to release. First half of june would be a realistic guess and in addition FC3 jockeys can expect a nice surprise :thumbup:
  22. AFAIK that is correct behaviour if zoomed in to a certain degree. Try to zoom out before you roll in, works for me
