Thanks guys, I'll try and work it out. I just have no knowledge of writing any kind of code.

Hi all, I've been working in the mission editor to create training missions for the squad and I'm trying to make it so that when an aircraft from a flight goes into a certain trigger zone and destroys either a column of ground units or a flight of aircraft than another re-spawns straight away (preferably the same one so I don't have loads of units stacked). Is this something that I can do with rules, or will it require scripting in lua (I have no idea how to do that!) Thanks in advance! :helpsmilie: Tom P.S Sorry just noticed the typo in the title! Should be spawning!

Excellent, got it, thank you. They've now gone!

Hi, I still can not get rid of the description box when I look at switches, it's causing FPS drops and obscuring stuff that I am trying to do. Where exactly do I turn this off? Thanks, Tom

This! If a third party developer wants to focus on a time or scenario they should do that, I like the variety, as it stands.

I'll give that a try, does it work in 2.0 as well? Thanks!

Thanks for that. Number 3: I was looking at the server list, using my head movements to move the cursor, and I couldn't click to join, exit or refresh the list. Although the cursor is showing it seems to be clicking outside of the game, on my desktop somewhere. Meaning I couldn't do anything. I found that I could just click the very top of the boxes on the top bored and it would work, any more than that though and I would lose the cursor. Hope that makes more sense.

Hi, I've downloaded the Open Beta. I'm using the Oculus Rift and am very grateful that it is now up to the standard of 2.0 in the support for VR. However, there are a couple things that I think have been missed that need fixing before release. 1.) When you look at the switches the description comes up in a big grey box that will not go away. It is easier to read, but ruins the immersion. 2.) Could really do with a way of importing my control set up from the stable version to all of the others. 3.)If you are not using the mouse to control the cursor then you can not click the boxes to join or set up multiplayer games 4.) When not using the mouse in cockpit the cursor can show up twice due to the way it seems to be projected and the 3D nature of VR. So for example in the pilot seat of the Gazelle, if I look around the windscreen wiper then I get the cursor showing twice, which makes me feel like I am going cross eyed.:cry: It's a BIG improvement over the current stable release though and I look forward to being the stable version. Thanks, Tom

Had my first go at this last night, it was good. We had some problems the first time around as the wheels were showing as down for me, but up for the front seat pilot. When I took over control I couldn't increase the power and we gradually descended as though there were air brakes out, but I had nothing assigned to deploy them. However, we flew again and had no issues. I was in the front seat that time and the second pilot was in the rear. I can see real potential for the L-39 as a trainer in DCS, it's great to fly anyway. It will be good to try out the ground attack variant with a back seater spotting further targets and checking our six!

If I'm honest (:music_whistling:) that will be the picture - I got them from Google, I can swap it out if you want. I just haven't been taking screenshots because I am using the Rift and it doesn't work right! :doh:

Great news!

Hi all, I've written a review of my first impressions of the Gazelle. I have to say I am really enjoying it. I've only had it a couple of days, but it's quickly taken over as my favourite helicopter...beating the Huey into second place. I'm really looking forward to having multi-crew for missions online. I'm happy for feedback, please feel free to post below the review too :)

That's cool, would be great to have it in the Huey and the Gazelle too (I don't have theMi-8, but I'm sure it would be fun there too! :music_whistling:)

Hi all, I've, along with my friend, bought the Gazelle and we were wondering whether it was possible to have one of us as the pilot and one as the weapons operator?

I get noticeable stuttering in 1.5 but not 2.0 - and yet they both have the same settings. I have recently upgraded my RAM to 32GB, which has not made a noticeable difference. I don't really understand why there is a problem in 1.5. It does not seem to be graphics related though. I will get a pause, approximately for half a second or so. This definitely happens if I hit the F3, flyby, view while supersonic. Modelling the sonic boom makes it pause. Like I've said though, I don't get any of this in 2.0, and 2.0 works so much better with Oculus Rift that I want to play it far more, but the populated servers are on 1.5! :cry:

Thanks for that, I really wasn't aware of it! I may give it a go!

Thanks for that, I'll have to wait and see how it goes. It's a real shame as they are such good missions.

~S~ All, I know these are not the newest of missions, but I've been really enjoying them recently as the Huey can really be put to good use. However, I am struggling with the Bunny Escort Mission. No matter what we do we can not get the 'Playboy' convoy to move. We can only give the radio commands while on the ground and despite telling them they can move they remain at the drop off point. Is this related to using 1.5 or is there something that I need to be doing? Thanks in advance! Tom

Yep, this has just started happening for me again. I was doing the Standard Peg, or whatever it is called, mission in NTTR and the Su-27's get close, they're locked. I fire. Missile tracks, radar is pointing at the right elevation and suddenly, no lock, missile misses. It doesn't discourage me from flying the Mirage, I love it, but it is annoying and it is meaning that I am not flying it online.

There are really people who wouldn't want an F-4?!?

Is it something that, in theory at least, could be done? It would be great for Squadrons to be able to offer something like this. Ok, so it means a small financial outlay for a squad, but with some kind of registration system and rules laid out governing the use it would seem like a really good way to sell Training Modules and build interest in the sim as a whole.

I've just bought the module, I'd be really happy for some instruction in how things work. It would be great if there was a way of purchasing a squadron licence to train up new members, rather than each member having to buy it. I understand the motive behind it, but it would be great if there was a way of doing this with training aircraft for a registered DCS Squadron.

I'll have a look for that, thanks.

Hi all, I no longer seem to be able to get the aircraft to start - since my walk through by Mattebubben I've been able to start it up fine. However, in the last week or so, when I turn on the power switch it now switches on all power, so everythin lights up in the cockpit. Previously it did not do this until the throttle had been advanced and the engine had spooled up. Right now I select all the switches as instructed, press the starter button and nothing happens. The only thing that I am aware of changing is that I am now using Oculus Rift. The thing is this is happening in both DCS 1.5 and 2.0, and there is a big difference between the two when using OR (2.0 being so much better). Can anyone advise here? I do not know what I am doing wrong. Thanks, Tom

Hi, No problem...I've got them to work, but as their original assignments. In CH control manager I have reassigned them as being part of CH Device 1 (Combatstick) the game is now picking them up fine in DCS 2.0 - not tried in 1.5 yet. Not sure what has caused it, I've used the same profile for over 6 months now.
