Hi there, Am I the only one in this situation ? I tried mapping keys to control the rotary encoders of the NS430 and thy react way too fast : it's next to impossible to be precise... Anyone else ? An idea ? A solution ? Cheers, Zip.

I don't think civilian traffic, and trains in particular, is synced in MP

I used a simple mist.scheduleFunction() call

In my test, I had it play its (short) sound then reschedule the same function 10 seconds later ; so it should have worked with all clients, ain't it ?

I think that it's a MP bug ; I tried adding a radio transmission to a ground unit to simulate a CSAR beacon and while it worked in SP, it didn't in MP

Thanks DECOY !

Hi folks, I think I found out what happen in DCS regarding cargo and sling loading. When a "cargo in zone" trigger is added to a mission (for a specific trigger zone and cargo item), I think DCS automagically manages the terminal guidance to the specified trigger zone position (smoke and voice commands) if the player loads the specified cargo item. Is there a documentation somewhere where this is explained ? If not, shouldn't we add this information to the hoggitworld wiki ?

It took a while for me to find it, so here's a link to save others the hassle... Thanks for the tutorial LeCuvier !

Hi Bad CrC ; I sent you a PM...

See here, specifically the section "Customising the Default View"

Hi BadCrc, thanks again ! I guess I wasn't very clear ; let me reformulate : in this mission, whenever I pick up a load (helped by the smoke designation and voice guidance), I'm being assigned a drop point also marked by a smoke, and also triggering voice guidance. I'd like to understand how it is done ; initially I thought that some lua script was being used - but there is no script in the mission, nor any lua code in a trigger. The only dynamic content are the trigger zones, which use (as you pointed out) the 'cargo in zone' trigger to output a "well done" message. I still don't understand how the drop point smoke designation and voice guidance is triggered/programmed/edited ; does anyone here know about this ?

Thanks for your answer. I've had a very thorough look at this mission (the one I've been given, that defines drop points) in the Mission Editor and : - there is NO script - the trigger zones are only defining a message when a cargo is successfully dropped (e.g. "well done lad") I really don't understand how it works. Are you sure there is no documentation whatsoever ?

Hi there, I would like to know how sling load works in the Mission Editor. Is there any documentation around ? From what I've read and viewed, you can drop a static object and specify "Cargo" to make it visible in the F6 radio menu. But I've also seen in a mission file that, when the cargo was picked by the helicopter, a drop point would be displayed and marked with a red smoke, with the same voiced help available at pickup. How is that done ? I could'nt find this in the mission file...

LOL good one ! :lol::lol::lol:

Preordered too, but on Amazon, in France. They say it will be delivered Nov. 3rd. So, i'm interested in your review when you'll have yours ; if they are total sh*t, I'll cancel my order ;)

easy : simply drag-drop it to your second screen - it's a simple window !

I found out by accident that, if you maintain left-shift pressed while rolling the mouse wheel over a rotary in the cockpit, the rotation is much faster !

Just got the same ! Open BETA, 2.5.3.21444

@Capt Zeen : I've got 3 monitors ; although my problem is IMHO not linked to displaying the information but communication between Helios and DCS. @jamesb : I've completely reinstalled Helios and reset my DCS config. Were you talking about a full DCS reinstall ?

Hi there, I tried everything, but DCS and Helios are not communicating ; when I press buttons in my Helios cockpit, nothing happens in DCS, and the Helios instruments are not getting updated with the game data. This is for the F18, using the excellent Capt Zeen profile and export.lua. I reinstalled Helios, tried using only the Capt export.lua file (no other exports), reset all my config (deleted my Saved Games DCS folder). Nothing useful appears in the logs. Does anyone have an idea ? Something to try ? A mean to get more details about what happens (e.g. logs) ? Cheers, David.

@BaD CrC : Et bien si tu peux remettre la main sur cette doc ça fera plaisir à mon papa !

Salut , Oui c'est bien de ça que je parle. Merci en tout cas à toute l'équipe pour vos efforts !

Bonjour, Est-ce qu'il existe quelque part une documentation de vol pour le UH-1H en français ? C'est pour mon papa ! Merci, Zip.
