Thank you for the offer, however I already have a pilot to fly me. I was mostly interested in training in the RIO position on my own when he is not available. Maybe someone else could be interested in flying with you?

For more than a year now I've had this problem after playing DCS where windows won't appear at front when I click on them in the task bar. In order to view a specific window (for example Chrome or Explorer) I have to minimize every window I have open and then click on the relevant window that I'd like to view. I guess you can only imagine how frustrating this is... I see that some suggest to change the value of registry ForegroundLockTimeout to decimal. This has been tried without success... Some suggest to turn of antivirus software and download updates. This has also been tried without luck...

That does indeed appear to be correct. At least for some units. Thank you.

I've placed a few AA units on the map that fairly fast deplete all their missiles. I've tried to place Ural-375s, 4320-31 Armored and GAZ-66s next to (and in the same group as) the AA unit, but they will not reload with the Left Ctrl + R command when depleted. Am I using the wrong transport units? How can I get the AA units reloaded?

I was finally able to solve this issue. I was entering the rules in the Triggers section and not in the route section. When the rules where correctly entered in the route section the radars are on but they do not fire. Correct: Wrong:

I mean those units that can be controlled by a CA player like the SA-8 OSA, SA-13 Strela, SA-15 Tor etc

These SAMs are static and don't move so they do not have any waypoints...

I see. But will the radar be on then?

Hi, I'd like to have a SAM have its search radar on but to hold its fire so I've created the following rules for the unit: 1. ROE = WEAPON HOLD 2. ALARM STATE = RED state Still the SAM fires when an enemy aircraft approaches. What have I done wrong I ask :)

Thank you all for your contribution. I can understand why I had a hard time finding targets. I'm not very good at spotting airborne targets, so flying the F-5 will be a real challenge I think...

Hi, I'm usually flying helicopters or the A-10. I was thinking of learning the F-5 but have serious issues understanding the radar. First and foremost, I really struggle finding targets at all. I made a simple mission where I was trailing a Su-25. Same altitude and a few miles behind. Unfortunately, it took a long time before I was able to see the Su-25 on the radar at all. I was able to lock something up, but the + sign that should appear in the middle of the radar indicating where to steer was not present so I had not idea where to steer. After using the F10 map and basically visually seeing the Su-25 I finally got a lock on it using the radar. Now this was a target flying in the same direction as me at the same altitude. If this was not an AI, but another player in a Mig-21 for example I cannot imagine I would have seen anything at all before I was shot down myself. So how do I learn to use the radar, why is it so hard to find targets and how do I train so that I get better?

Hi, I have a few questions regarding gameplay on the Blue Flag server: 1 - If I place down AA systems, SA-6 and Manpads (or EWR) for example, how long will they be on the ground? Are they removed when the server restarts every few hours? How many missiles do they carry and how do I rearm them? 2 - Can all troops capture an objective, for example Anti Tank and Mortar crews, or can this be done only by "regular" troops? 3 - Lately I've seen LAV-25 and BMPs driving around. Are these controlled by AI or players?

I see the same. I also see that the GAU-8 misses. When the pipper is over target the bullets hit long. Can it be that the elevation data is somewhat corrupted (maybe too high)? To me it appears as if the GBU-38s do steer towards the target, but that the ground is reached at a later time than calculated. The bomb usually misses long.

Thank you both for the quick replies!

Hi, Can I train as a RIO when I have no pilot, or is a pilot required? I'd like to learn the radar and system before joining multiplayer... Thank you

Hi, I just tried to start mission 3 today but there are some sound issues. The reason for me posting them here and not in the Viggen forum is because I have never had this issue elsewhere. I immediately tried another mission and there the sounds worked as expected. Is it possible that something within the mission creates this bug? First, when closing the canopy there is no sound. Outside sounds are soften correctly though. Pressing switches after closing the canopy gives either a normal sound, delayed sound or soften sound. Starting the engine gives no engine sound. There is no engine sound externally either from my aircraft. Arming the ejection seat gives no sound. I was hoping there was a fix for this...

I downloaded the campaign yesterday and tried mission 1. I was not awarded with mission success even though I landed safely as montypyton explains. I see that even though I get in contact with Nellis ATC, they never hand me over to the tower and never gives me the clearance to land. None of the other Viggens land either. I can sit on the ground for 30 minutes and the other flights just circle around sometimes with the gear down. The solution with the F10 menu solved the problem for me and I was finally able to advance to mission 2. Unfortunately, not the best start on the campaign...

Fantastic work!

Thank you! I see the same. Opening the lua files created by CombatFlite reveals a pointer to another folder.

Hi, I've created a kneeboard using CombatFlite. After placing for example 3 new pages in the Kneeboard/Pages folder I get 3 pages with this "missing texture" message before the 3 good pages show up. If I have 9 pages inserted from CombatFlite I get 9 of these missing texture pages before the good ones show up. The strange thing for me is that it does not appear to be anything wrong with the pages I insert. I can easily read and see them after scrolling past these missing texture files. What is wrong and how can I fix it?

You are correct! This is the correct path: C:\ProgramFiles\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\Cockpit\scripts\KNEEBOARD\pages

Thank you very much Viper. It worked indeed! It is a truly amazing program that you've created! I've been waiting for this a long time :) I see a few bugs in the few tests I made so far: - All waypoints are shown as target waypoints (M1, M2, M3 etc.) even though they are not marked as so in the route planner or in the Viggen Data Cartridge exporter - Departure and arrival airports do not seem to be real takeoff or landing sites. Selecting LS and BANA I should be able to see (and change) the runway for departure and landing, but on the loaded cartridge it only displays 00000. I can fix this by manually entering the 90xx code for the relevant aerodromes. - The kneeboard displays first the usual few pages before displaying the mission relevant pages generated by CombatFlite. But before the mission pages an equal number of pages showing just MISSING TEXTURE appears. If the mission pages are 7 in total, 7 such MISSING TEXTURE pages appear before the real pages. If there are 11 mission pages, 11 MISSING TEXTURE pages has to be scrolled past before the real pages appear. I also have a few suggestions and requests: - It would be great if I could change coordinate format from Degrees.Decimal-minutes to other formats, especially Degrees.Minutes.Seconds. - In the Viggen especially it is advised to pick waypoints that are well recognized from the air. It would therefore be highly useful to be able to zoom even further in. The Open Street map do not appear to be exactly correct in DCS Caucasus. Could it be possible to be able to use something like the F10 map so that one can easily put waypoints at bridges, intersections, rivers and so on? - Can I default to the Caucasus map as I basically only fly there? - I experience rather slow performance in general even though my computer is near high end. This is so even when I turn off the map. Once again: Thanks for a highly awaited software!

Hi, For a long time, I've been looking for a software like CombatFlite: https://www.combatflite.com/ I've been trying it today and it looks very nice except for these two issues that I can't figure out how to fix: 1 - I can't seem to load the correct data cartridge 2 - The custom-made kneeboard does not show up when pressing Right Shift - K in missions Have you been able to do this? My steps regarding data cartridge: I've placed the CustomCartridge.ini file created by CombatFlite in the following folder: C:\Users\xxxxx\Saved Games\DCS_AJS37 In the sim I've started the cold start mission of the Viggen, opened the kneeboard (that it still not changed to my custom kneeboard created for the mission) and changed until the loaded cartridge say "From the Saved Games Folder" (or something similar). I insert the cartridge and select REF/LOLA IN 9099. My flight plan created in CombatFlite do not load... My steps regarding the kneeboard: I've placed the files created by CombatFlite in the following folder: C:\ProgramFiles\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\Cockpit\scripts\KNEEBOARD\indicator\CONTENT Opening any mission and pressing Right Shift - K do only open the regular kneeboard. Not my custom made one... I'm sure I must be doing something wrong... Any help would be appreciated! Thank you.

I've extracted the files to the following folder: C:\ProgramFiles\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\AJS37\Cockpit\scripts\KNEEBOARD\indicator\CONTENT Starting DCS Open Beta and opening the Kneeboard with Right Shift - K only display the regular kneeboard. Are there furter steps I should follow?

Thank you!
