Skitter

If you read the book "Danger Close: Tactical Air Controllers in Afghanistan and Iraq" by Steve Call, you will see that in Afghanistan the JTACs are never in a Vehicle (maybe on a pony sometimes), calling air strikes when hiding. Once from a roof top and the target is another house few houses away. How do you hide in a bush in a Humvee ...and why would you need protection from small arms fire if you are targeting a tank platoon ?

I'm seriously hoping for an infantry JTAC. Just an unit with binoculars or SOFLAM, as it doesn't make much sense to sneak up to an enemy base behind enemy lines, in a Humvee or place the Humvee on a top of a tall hill...

When you enter the mission editor and the triggers editor, you have an option in the middle column in the drop down list, something like: object object_name altitude is lower/higher then altitude_value .

Do you switch HARS to EGI too ?

Big thanks to the 74 Flying Tigers. Much appreciated the demonstration, narration by Tyger and all the useful hints. P.s Pity my Internet died during the flight and my plane went "Warp one, engage !" ;-)

I thought you can drive the aircraft over the grass as long as you have a certain (lo) weight ?

Fair enough.

Your assumption on the other hand is not fully explained, how do we know if it's functional ?

Agree. But when you look outside of the cockpit you will see the skin on your airplane and all other planes using the skin. That's what I wanted to say.

The skin doesn't have to be on the server...and as far as I know, only you have to have the skin installed.

Taking it a little bit further...Can you check if the player received the message (check what channel was the radio tuned to ?) Just like in the tutorials ?

Thanks for the info.

Hi. I have placed an A-10C with a "Client" as the skill. When I go to the failures tab it is clear. The systems appear when I switch the skill to "Player". Is this a normal behaviour, or there is something wrong with my installation?

Got it! Thanks!

The last time I have used it was for mission testing (when creating a mission). Also used it once to test JTAC capabilities and it was quite cool. Currently the steering with turret going all over the place is just a nightmare (or maybe it's specific for my game?). Fortunately when you switch to binocular view it's steady. We would use it more if we had volunteers to do the ground force job, but we are small A-10 squadron. Can't wait for the release !!

Hi. I have exported my A-10 MFCD's to a second monitor. The second monitor is on my left side and I use it only for the MFCD's, so I get problem when I switch to CA. This is of course logical. I wonder if it's possible to set up a separate configuration in the DCS World, only to be used by CA, without modifying the A-10 one ? I would like to configure CA, to play on a single monitor. If it's possible, would much appreciate hints.

Right....you have 5 points of reputation, but....are you using the correct radio channel and radio ?

Day 0 I think I've got it... I thought it could be the terrain, or the time, but no. meanwhile I managed to move a couple of the groups and it turns up that those with infantry only are fine, but those where I added a "manpad" fails to move. Are manpads static ? EDIT Yep, the manpads are stopping them from moving.

Hi. I have a mission where after a trigger is activated the engine spawns no more then two groups of soldiers. Now, the idea is the soldiers run to a trigger zone, they activate a mortar unit and start firing.... I managed to spawn those two groups, but they doesn't move. I can assign a path to them manually as a game master, but otherwise they don't follow the waypoints. I have set the day on the first waypoint to something like 142... I also noticed the other waypoints calculated time to something...something.../142 Is that the problem ? Thanks.

In that case, I'm going to keep it real :-D

I have a problem with HUD color when flying by snowy mountains or clouds. Neither amber or green works then. Dark green would probably work. Anybody knows how it is in the real A-10C ?

Hi , thanks for sharing. I have Windows 7 on SDD too and I experience stutters like this (1-2 seconds) too. I've got a decent machine so I'm a bit surprised... I have re-configured my graphic settings recently, but haven't played for a week, so I'm not sure if it's still there...

Ok, thanks.

Hi Druid, not sure what it means "fixed internally". Are you able to share the fix? Would appreciate it.

Right...I use two monitors. Maybe that's why it is stretched a bit...james.r.wright - do you have similar config?
