Great write up there, most enjoyable reading it

Looks excellent Batou, great job. If you need me to test in Fc2 again please let me know.

Haha love that, or some Eagle nuggets (who eats chicken these days anyway)

Did you set the TACAN frequency for both tankers in the mission editor Advanced Waypoint Actions? And also set the AM frequencies for them, some people have reported issues with contacting the tanker if its not set in the actions? Not able to test right now and posting from my phone.

Awesome mission JEFX. I've just tested this also and found the sounds to be working fine for me in 1.1.0.7 with all AI moving around and even had to close canopy when the 3 choppers came low and slow over the top as was getting whipped by the rotorwash in my ears hehe I tested with TiR and without and had the same effect on both with all jets, including the 18's taking off, no problems for me, sounds were where they should be moving my head around. And you will love this mission more on 1.1.0.8 trust me

Oh yeeeaaahhhh :thumbup:

Thanks Joey, it did take a lot to put it together but am changing a couple of things to fit better and re-rending for Youtube this weekend.

Thanks for all the comments guys, I'll try a few things.

Thanks bud, I'll give that a go

Does anyone know the FC2 argument to use for making animations on static ground objects, i.e. a radar dish rotating? Thanks, Ells.

haha love it Sobek +1 @Dimebag1 How about making your own vehicle cockpit, or getting together with some great people on these forums that know how to do it, rather than "just" sitting around waiting for the team to do something that doesn't fit into what they do? Remind me Sobek, I always thought DCS was a flight simulator not BFBC2 rip off ;) I'm just pulling your leg Dimebag1, the one that's got "just" tattoed on it. A battlefield simulator would be awesome, but would take a hell of a lot of work to do. I'm sure some clever people here can make some clever coding to allow you to even fire the weapons from said ground units. DCS is very powerful and a lot of it is open to LUA coding, so who knows, maybe someone will want to give it a try.

Thanks Chip

Awesome work, will help us disect our formation practices also.

Jim, I've just seen the announcement on your news page and just wanted to say many thanks for that. http://lockon.co.uk/news/ Cheers, Chris.

Thanks Sniper, I found out there are different models of the ATC for different airfields, about 8 in total. There are also small ones and big ones. As an example Anapa has these two: KDP_BIG.CMD and INZ_BIG.CMD I can't show what we are working on right now as still tinkering, but all will be revealed soon ;)

Nice damage model there and the main model and skins are looking fantastic

Does anyone know what the ATC model .lom filename is? Thanks, Ells. Edit > found it - bazar/terrain/textures/high/kdp.cmd

Thanks Mad Max
