Hi Grimes, when respawning a group of vehicles, is there a way to broadcast the vehicles lat/long coordinates via a message? I see there is mist.getLeadingLLString and mist.msgLL but I'm unsure how it should be scripted. I'm respawning the groups randomly in a zone, and would like the message to go out to all players.

Are they set as 'Ground Attack' in their task? I normally set two bombing tasks in the advanced waypoints, under Perform task option, so they have a start and end point to drop their bombs. They may also be affected by air threats, which can be changed under Reaction to Threat in waypoint actions.

Thank you Grimes. Does it have to be 120 seconds, can it be 2 seconds for example, or does it need time to settle down? I'm assuming it is only taking the Waypoint tasking that is getting assigned after 120 seconds, and not the aircraft task, such as CAP, CAS or Ground Attack, for example? Like DavidRed said, how do you assign the task (if this is waypoint task or aircraft task), if you wanted to change? The respawning script interests me, as DCS World can seem quite an empty world. If there is a constant stream of aircraft at different times during a mission, then it may make it look more like real life, and thus more interesting for the clients entering the server. I must say your work on Mist and the Lua scripting is in invaluable.

Hi Grimes, Can you explain how they are given this task. I've been looking at this respawning. I've managed to respawn an aircraft, but he just lands.

Rctrl + O, I think
