Answering this for anyone else who's not familiar with this feature. There's a SAVE DEBRIEFING option after exiting the mission. Never even saw it!

Please forgive the newbish question. How do I save the debrief in game?

Thanks for the link, @Nirvi! That tool looks incredible. Signed up and synching.

Just discovered this tool. Looks awesome. Does DCS overwrite the debrief.log after every flight? I am looking for a way to upload my entire career from 2021. Is that possible? How do you guys manage the upload process? You have to remember to sync after each flight? Thanks.

Yeah, voice attack isn't perfect. I have to train it to understand some things as well. For instance it doesn't understand when I say "escape". It thinks I'm saying "state". So I added the word "state" to the command and problem solved. There's also speech recognition that you can do to train windows to better recognize your accent. If you haven't tried that it might be worth the time. Good luck.

And then grab Bailey's voice attack profile for the Hornet. He has all button presses modeled. He's a master at VoiceAttack. I've spent a lot of time in VR using his VA profile. I highly recommend. He has other profiles but I've not used.

Thanks @Hawkeye60! Great idea. Love seeing talented community members sharing their passion.

I've done the exact same thing and had fun setting up the mission and leveraging the RAT functionality (thanks @funkyfranky) One bookmark I use quite a bit is this one for MOOSE. The documentation is outstanding. https://flightcontrol-master.github.io/MOOSE_DOCS/ To answer your question, yes, you can establish the altitude for the spawned unit. Here's the documentation for RAT - https://flightcontrol-master.github.io/MOOSE_DOCS/Documentation/Functional.Rat.html I wrote a small script to spawn a random number of units at random altitudes across different zones. I pass this script the unit name and the rest of the magic happens automatically. Below is the code I wrote and you can see where I establish the altitude of the spawn. If you want to make it fixed, just replace with a value instead of a random number. Hope this helps! -- -- Random Aircraft Spawn from Mission (RASM) -- -- Intent here is to allow the user, from a radio button, to pass in a mission created late activated aircraft and spawn it randomly into the mission -- This code contains a function accepting the unit name from the mission -- -- This function uses the RAT (Random Air Traffic) element from MOOSE. MOOSE must be loaded before this script in the mission. -- -- rasm = {} function rasm.spawn(_UnitID) local alt = math.random(5,350) -- setting a random altitude for the spawn(s) between 500-35,000 feet. local _numUnits = math.random(1,4) -- setting number of units to spawn between 1 and 4 local newunit=RAT:New(_UnitID) -- creating a new object to spawn into the mission using RAT (_UnitID is the name of unit from mission editor) newunit:SetTakeoff("air") -- spawning in the air newunit:SetDeparture({"Spawn Zone1", "Spawn Zone2", "Spawn Zone3", "Spawn Zone4"}) -- Using trigger zones in the mission editor, the spawn can be in one of 4 zones newunit:SetFLcruise(alt) -- use the random altitude established newunit:Spawn(_numUnits) -- spawn a random number of units end -- end rasm.spawn

Thanks Guys. Yeah, I've got electronic devices that can manage this. Easy-peasy.

I am just wondering out loud here ... has anyone used as service like LuLuexpress to print out one of Chuck's guides? If so, how'd it turn out? What was the cost? Thanks.

As a professional Software Product Manager I have nothing but empathy for the ED team and @BIGNEWY, as the "face" of the organization here. You try and be transparent and collaborative with the customer (us). Customers want to know what's going on and get excited for new improvements or capabilities. Providing planned dates is the best you can do in efforts to quench the thirst for status/progress reports. So what happens when a planned date isn't met these days? Customer chaos. You lied! You're bums! You clearly have idiots on staff! etc. etc. What I personally do when faced with these types of reactions is to remind myself these often come from customer excitement in using or purchasing the product. It is easy for consumers to assume the degree of difficulty in creating/maintaining, in this case, DCS. Please don't get discouraged ED team. Your efforts are appreciated. I, for one, am thankful for your willingness to extend development and QA. If this decision prevents a poor first experience, I am all for it!

I know this is probably a bit naïve, but I am hoping with the release of 2.7 into OB we will start hearing about some of these initiatives. I'd echo @norman99 request for confirmation on plans. I'd go as far as requesting/suggesting a quarterly progress report/update from ED on where things stand against the projects. ....now when's that new quarter start?

Oh my, do I feel old now. Those too young to get the reference, Jane's was at one point THE authority on open source defense platforms. Just known as "Jane's". Way before the time of the interwebs

Outstanding! Thanks for the link, @Rudel_chw. Subscribed.

I'll have to find a whole new group of youtube instructor pilots, I suspect. I haven't flown a heli in years

Care to share the movie name? Looking forward to more details.

South China Sea so @baltic_dragon can do a campaign from Fight Fight (third book in Kevin Miller's Raven One series)!

That brand is also bookmarked

Hey, thanks for the tip! Never heard of that brand. Looks nice. I bookmarked their site and will seriously consider when I end up opting for rudder pedals.

I am popping in to say THANK YOU to @Bankler. I've been using this trainer for 2 weeks now. When I started, I was lucky to land the jet at all. Like a typical DCS Nugget, I just didn't have the process down. I was determined to learn this, however. Thanks to your trainer, I am now consistently landing the jet and scoring in the 50's. Your trainer s the sole reason for this progression. Today I cracked 60! I am thrilled! A huge to you, sir! Edit: LOL, I uploaded the wrong image. Here's the 64.

What is the original, @Grennymaster?

Most appreciated, @Rudel_chw. I've bookmarked and saved for future use.

@Rudel_chw thanks for the call out above on setting active pause at mission start. I am trying to understand where I can see all the command numbers and simply cannot locate it in the manual or the handful of LUA files I checked. Do you mind direct me/us to the list? In other words, how did you know Active Pause was '816'? Thanks

Thank you @Minsky! These are beautiful.

Is there a new link? Sorry for my confusion. Thanks.
