yes, I have lost my combat scores a few time because of george! Thanks for the heads up on a incoming patch. I didnt know. On the subject of george, these sorts of missions are hard as you get no feedback about where to pilot the bird for him to get a clean shot, I normally run the TADS vid on my right MPD but its not that easy to see what george is doing sometimes!

I also attempted the 2nd mission after changing flight to AI.. unfortunately at the road block I got tangled up with the stupid AI choppers and crashed.. up to that point it was awesome! Thanks for the info on ADF, the manual is actually incorrect so I googled a video that explained how to turn it on and tune it in. I'll have another crack at the convoy mission tonight.. keeping one eye on my wingman this time!

Thanks for doing these missions! I just completed the first one, really good so far! Couple of comments: Thankyou for doing the voiceover for the TSD point. That is so helpful as I use VR and when grid points flash up on the screen its super annoying to get them entered or be presented with a wall of points to enter at the start on the kneeboard!! Please do more of that On similar note to grid points, the eyeball JTAC gave grid as 6 places so when I initially put it in I ended up in the wrong spot, then added a 0 onto the north and east and then found the infantry and hit them with rockets. Probably my newbie status caught me out on that one I had no problem hitting them with rockets. I had to try and remember how to use ADF in the apache, in the end I couldn't figure it out and just flew to the WP.. Looking forward to doing subsequent missions and I'll edit them so AI can fly other aircraft as you suggest above (unless you release official SP ones). I agree as per YoYo points 3+4. Again, great work thus far!

Thanks Bignewy, works fine when creating a TG and CAQ to that, just the WP. Awesome its addressed!

Thanks for the custom scripts, I have been using the PNVS one on a single button on my collective to turn it on/off. Just wondering if there is a better way to do this with a single button as a toggle? thanks

Hi team, I created this mission as love night flying and JTAC ops. Was working ok but then I started getting a repeated crash when CAQ waypoint 3 (first targets) for MSL. Not sure if its something I did in the mission or a bug. thanks Persian Gulf - Nightmoves 1(crash).miz dcs.log-20220512-123736.zip

Yes I have a button on my hocas with comms menu button. No I dont have hide menus selected. No i do not have DCS mapped to those TX buttons (pretty sure that was in the instructions) I think i need to start from scratch, setup voice attack and step through it again.

I'm finally getting my head around the process, really finding the CAQ useful when working with JTAC etc. I do have one question, its relating to using the SKR as ACQ SOURCE. Is this a valid way to engage with MSL when target is lased by another unit or is the correct way to created a point in the TSD?

yep ok, will try to remember to make a track next time. I have trim bound to a 4 way hat as per the real one so impossible to engage force trim at the same time. Also discovered if you are PLT engage ATT then switch to gunner, poor george cant turn it off and is fighting it

Has anyone else found when disengaging from ATT that the controls get locked out until recentred, similar to Trim? Occasionally I press down and then discover no control until I recenter. Is this how it should be?

dont think you can on these controllers. they are factory set. No biggy when I get my wired controller

Hi, I've been having a hell of a time with vaicom since latest update where is seems to work 1/2 the time. I say the phrase, get the beep then nothing happens in DCS. I only am flying the AH64 so maybe this is part of the problem? Also, have to mash the radio button to get the radio menu up so I can do my comms, its getting really frustrating and to the point I'm going to abandon vaicom. Hopefully there are some suggestions how to problem solve it.

The solution was to clear out unnecessary binding like axis etc and disable check hot-plug devices. It's still no ideal as it goes to sleep every 10 minutes but not it does not interfere. I've ordered a cabled controller which should be better.

Yes, it only stays on the screen momentarily. Its a bit frustrating in VR entering points into the TSD. A wishlist for me would be an option to make the JTAC target message stay on longer, like 60 seconds.

Thanks Grimm, by far my most played mission in the apache. Its so good, thanks! I made an edit to the CTLD lua file to make the blackkite messages stay on the screen for 60 seconds so I can get a TG into the TSD.

As a page on the kneeboard would be great!

figured it out ctld.notifyCoalition(fullMessage, 10, _jtacUnit:getCoalition(), _radio, message) change the 10.

Hi everyone, is there a way to CTLD extend JTAC messages when using the jtacautolase function? I did a search through the code and thought this was the variable for the time in seconds: ctld.notifyCoalition(_message, 10, _side) However changing the 10 to 30 etc in the script does not seem to work. Is there a global setting for message length in CTLD? cheers

Hi, not sure if this is the right place. I started using a wireless xbox 360 controller for CPG but now have a problem that when the controller turns itself off (power saver) it makes my other controllers go haywire for a moment. Had a few out of control crashes as pilot when it does this Is there a way to make DCS allow the controller to power off and not affect my other sticks and controllers? In DCS its shows a message saying xbox360 disconnected, all my controls go crazy for a moment and then its ok. thanks

interesting, I always go as fast as I can push it.. guess that is not "the way"

yeah love the ATT mode. I find if I get it super tight trim before engaging its wonderful! There is a pretty long thread discussing the details of the ATT here somewhere.. sorry cant remember exactly

That is one of the challenges I find just doing pilot duties, there seems no way to calculate that short of either creating a TG point or getting george to target and LP the target. I've had much better success last few missions hovering at a good distance ~8km pointing the nose at the lased target and releasing the hellfire. I doubt this is ever done IRL as the CPG would manage all those tasks, storing a TG point etc. Really enjoy this mission, got a bit of everything in it, tho those final tanks are tough!

Had this problem ever since I installed vaicom with the menus. Its never worked properly. Luckily I've discovered if I say "options" it brings up the menu more reliably. Otherwise I have to press the comms menu button multiple times and it eventually pops up. I've also found if I run DCS and exit then vaicom gets all mixed up, seems to reverse the PTT listening. I guess that I should restart vaicom also.
