Yes, I have noticed this as well in a mission that I created but I thought it was a bug in my mission rather than a DCS bug. I'm glad to see it's not due to one of my screw-ups.

Flash will probably need to be installed and activated.

With 65Ds after you have slaved the Mav on the target hit china hat forward (V key) to increase zoom and you will get a lock sooner.

Without knowing exactly where the ogg files are located on your PC I suggest that you be sure to place the files in your Saved Games/DCS folder.

This is one of about 24 files and as you can see making layers for every light blob would be quite time consuming. village_1_illum.bmp.bmp

I don't mind sharing the files but there is only one layer that I have used for all of the modifications. I assume you mean the bmp files and not the dds files.

I tried to set up a MP mission and had the mod installed on the server but not on the client machine and as a client I was not able to see the fire. Will this work in multiplayer and will it require that each client have the mod installed to see the fire as it is with skins?

EUREKA!! That did the trick. Thanks. :doh:

I installed with JSGME, it shows in the ME structures menu and I can place it on the map but it doesn't show up in the mission. What am I doing wrong?

If DCS World had vehicular traffic modeled with lights on at night in the quantity equivalent to what exists in reality, it would more accurately depict a difference between large urban areas and small towns and have a significant impact overall. But then, if my aunt had balls, she'd be my uncle. As far as realism is concerned, until EDGE is released this is like trying to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Are you looking in the saved games/slmod folder after starting and stopping a single player mission?

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

In an effort to have a manpad be a more realistic threat is it possible to create a script that would cause it to re-load every 2 minutes instead of 10 seconds?

running a repair should do the trick.

I should know this by now but don't so I'll ask. In the ME there are 2 selections available for manpads. One is SAM SA-18 Igla MANPADS and the other SAM SA-18 Igla comm. Can someone explain the difference and how selecting one versus the other or a combination of both should be used? Another question is, after a manpad has launched a missle, how long does it take to reload and is this where the SA-18 comm comes into play? Thanks

I have been using Photoshop to tweak the dds image files. If you have found a way to accomplish the same task by changing lua files I would appreciate knowing that. It's probably a much easier way to accomplish the same results.

I learned all this the hard way....trial and error :joystick:

When you are pressing the keyboard keys to program a button and you are assigning a combination of 2 keystrokes for one button you must press both keys at exactly the same time rather than one after another with a pause in between. When you test and see this Ctrl Ctrl Space that indicates that you didn't press both keys at exactly the same time but rather one key after another and that will never work.

Be sure you have this selected (see attached image) Also, after you exit the profile editor be sure to use the small saitek icon in your taskbar and clear profile and the reload it.

Thanks to Belgeode and DarkFire I have the voice-overs I needed to complete the missions.

I had considered tweaking the mod based on feedback but then realized that regardless of what I did there would be some that approved and some that didn't. There are other obvious variables like different video cards, monitors and settings that always affects how each one sees this stuff as well. I will leave it as is and hope that it will be of some value. There is really no way to evaluate it fully from the screens and really needs to be seen in flight. Thanks for the comments. Cheers

PM sent and thanks

Thanks for your comments and I agree that I may have gone too far. I may make another attempt in the near future. Hopefully EDGE will arrive soon and we can move on to new lighting for everything.

After looking at the F15 files I don't see anything available to edit that would accomplish the task.

After taking my time to read the instructions carefully I finally got everything working. If I stay with DCS much longer I may have to check in to the nervous hospital.:crazy:
