A few hours is enough. Then I can die happily.

I hope downed pilots have enough patience to wait for medevac. Sure it would be fun if you're flying with friends on TS! Who wants to be my winch operator? :D

Nice vid! The Russian guy commenting on the video sais that it's a cool video and asks if you are a professional pilot... :thumbup:

Did I miss something?

From looking at Devices_init.lua the only thing that disables MLWS is the radio assist. If it's turned on MLWS should work according to this file... So to make it work in Sim mode one has to change the conditions as described in this bit of code: if LockOn_Options.flight.radio_assist then creators[devices.MLWS] = {"avMLWS", LockOn_Options.script_path.."Devices_specs/MLWS.lua", {{"betty", devices.VMS}}} end Just change the if/then to sim mode options (I don't know the exact lines for that) and it should work.

There is evidence that some kind of MWS was installed. There is an MLWS.lua and it describes detection limits and voice warnings. Don't know why it doesn't work now. It makes use of the generic lock on sounds which are still present in the DCSW sound files (even before the FC3 update).

Ah that's ok. I've got some changes now for a future version. V1.3 will be released modman compatible. Can I put the file in the first post?

FC3 planes, including the free SU25T, broadcast on a global channel and also receive on a global channel. If FC3 planes start talking to JTAC in multiplayer you will end up with an unusable radio. So it is possible but probably very annoying... Will see what I can do. I'll check out 1) if I have time. Sounds good! Regarding 2). I launched my JTAC training mission a minute ago, contacted ground crew for ground power and it worked. After rearming and refueling I contacted Firefly and he gave me a task. I then switched back to intercom and was able to remove ground power. No problems here as far as I can see. How do you reproduce this excactly?

Awesome! I'm wondering what the first 3rd party release will be... Mig-21 or Huey?

I've saved it and will use it if ED forces me to make a new version because of an upgrade (if you allow me to include your work of course). Thanks!

Yes you could try that as well... Check the JTAC units and their tasks.

The JTAC mod does work with v1.2.2. In the mod thread read post 73 and the solution in post 75. If it really doesn't work the mission is probably broken since v1.2.2.

Thanks for the appreciation! Nice find :P. 'at' is actually 'and'. I've tried to add my own voice samples but it sounded really retarded in the middle of a sentence. And sounds a bit like 'at' so most people will understand what the guy is trying to say. Not a clue though why JTAC refuses to sparkle. There is no obvious compatibility issue whatsoever... EDIT Could anyone check if the mod still works with 1.2.2? I just see that 1.2.2 has been released... Haven't got the time to see for myself unfortunately...

I really don't know why it's not working for you. I suggest you contact your teammate ReOrdain. He's got it working. Please note that the installation intructions in de manual are incorrect. Those in the text file are correct...

Thanks. I'll remove this from the first post... The manual contains wrong installation instructions, yes. It's only a very small detail (the intstallation notes in the main package are up-to-date) and the 300+ downloads please my eyes :) And I don't think that the mod works outside the main installation folder... I will have to edit files in the installation folder anyhow to point them at the custom location of the mod files. The mod files are actually already there as I've edited pre-existing files. Some sound files have been added because they were unintentionally missing.

So does it work for you now? Make sure you are using the latest version as I had to change some things to make it work with 1.2.1. Changelog: V1.0 - initial release V1.1 - Added instructions in the manual for changing the Weapons folder. Check-in line now works. - New sound files to fix broken messages - JTAC now uses L/L V1.2 - Working with DCSW 1.2.1. Have fun!

It's ok and thanks :smilewink:

Thanks for the feedback... :thumbup:

Mhh I tried this for 1.2.0 and it worked. However, the comm.lua is very different now. Maybe it will use the new 'lockonairplane.lua' for radio items... If the latter is true, then try this: - find \DCS World\Scripts\UI\RadioCommandDialogPanel\Config\Lockonairplane.lua Go to line 396 (actually the end of the document) and add this line: utils.verifyChunk(utils.loadfileIn('Scripts/UI/RadioCommandDialogPanel/Config/Common/JTAC.lua', getfenv()))(6) the number 9 is the number in the radio menu (F9) And see if it works. JTAC will use MGRS I think because the L/L is scripted for the KA-50 only. But you can't enter coordinates anyway... I think some lines don't have sound due to missing sound files... But other than that it should work. Thanks, Your welcome!

Version 1.2 Hi, Thanks again Doveman for the file. I've attached V1.2 to the first post. If you encounter any problems, please notify me. If you don't see the JTAC radio menu item, try opening the window again. Also, could anyone go into a mission with AWACS and check out if AWACS is working? Thanks in advance! Happy flying!

Yes, thank you!

It looks like an easy fix. ED moved Ka-50.lua, which also defines the radio menu items, to the module folder under a different name (comm.lua). Also the lines changed slightly. However, what easily worked through copy and paste from the A10C files in 1.2.0 doesn't work now. In theory it should work, but it doesn't. It quite accurately represents how ED's updates work. Lots of fixes but as a trade-off some random idiotic additions. Now there was one thing: the auto-updater updated this comm.lua file for me but I lost it because I thought it was my own edited and saved version. Now after reinstalling DCS, it won't auto update anymore. So could anyone upload comm.lua from the KA-50 module folder? Thanks in advance. This is for now the last thing I can do. I'm afraid that I have to congratulate ED for destroying my mod. EDIT: just upload the file in a post. Thanks! EDIT2: Ok I might have to take back on some of the things I've said above. I was talking to JTAC again just now but the sounds are broken again and the radio menu is still acting funny. It looks like availability of the AWACs is depending on two factors 'tanker = false, radar = true' and did not appear. Have to figure out what it does... Still waiting for the file!!

I was contacted about that via PM. I'm a bit too busy actually but I suspect that it is a matter of renamed folders as ED has a tendency to randomly change these kind of things... downloading 1.2.1 now thanks for making me aware of this problem.

You can still fly forward but it takes some effort. It feels like the heli does not know what your preferred orientation is in forward flight.
