So I played around with OPStarvation mission and finally found the script error and corrected it. So If you are interested in playing a decent single player mission this one is a good one. Check it out. :joystick: Opstarvation.miz

I just hate when something bugs me. I figured that if the sim was stopping and showing me the mission script error that it must be commanded from somewhere within the Mission Editor and thanks to you for showing me how the script should have been written I was able to not only find the two instances of it but I also corrected as you described. Flew the mission with no stops or errors. Thank you again for your help. Wish I could give more Rep.

Thank you for taking a look as it is Greek to me. Rep coming your way

Well that's unfortunate the author Jus2410 is not listed in the DCS forum members list so I guess the mission stays broken. Too bad it seemed like a cool mission with 4 AI jets flying Cap and SEAD for you. But never got far enough to really find out how well it worked. It was built in an earlier version of DCS world with 1024 downloads but probably isn't compatable with 1.2.8. Thanks again

Thanks for all the info. No I did not make the mission I downloaded it off of the DCS website. I had a whole different idea as to how missions were built using the mission editor but you have shown me that it takes a lot more than just clicking on commands within the editor. I will see if I can contact the author and see if he is willing to fix it. Thanks again for you in depth knowledge.

Thank you for the reply ajax but I don't know the first place to look to change this. Can you elaborate for someone that hasn't gotten that deep into the mechanics of it all yet.

Anyone want to take this on. Probably easy for someone with Mission editor knowledge. So I am flying the OPStarvation mission and I get the following Mission Script Error [string "trigger.SetUserFlag(3,True)"]:1:attempt to call field 'set UserFlag ' (a nil value) Stack Trace back: [c] : in function ' set UserFlag ' [string " trigger.set UserFlag (3, true)" ] :1: in main chunck It will clear for a few seconds and it happens again the only difference is that the script error reads the same except where the number 3 is it is replaced by number 4. If someone has the knowledge to correct this or tell me what I need to do I would appreciate it very much. Thanks in advance

Thanks for the input looks like I'll be shopping for some pedals.

So what are the basic controller requirements for BS2? I have the CH Products Fighterstick and Pro Throttle but no pedals. Do I need pedals for the BS2? Thanks in advance.

I never lose just half a wing. Mine always break off at the wing root so there is no joy in my cockpit.

Yes good design, glad my mods are unaffected. Thanks for your answer.

Are the saved games folders used so that updates don't remove installed mods? If so that means they are safe from change when updates are issued, correct.

Thanks PMan unfortunatly that didn't do what I had hoped. It makes total since to me that that would have done it but I didn't see any difference.

Can anyone tell me if I can increase the horizontal FOV from 120deg to 180degs and how to do it?

So I think I have the Track IR-5 and my pro clip set up close to what I want. The only problem is when I move my head in the cockpit it moves around way too fast. I have set the speed slider to .3 but it seems the less I set it the narrower my FOV is and the same is true when I reduce the curve down to 5. I like where my FOV is set but need to slow the movement down can someone tell me what I need to do?

Okay so you have some experience now so it's time to jump into the A-10C. Why waste anymore time learning things that will only apply to a small extent. If your ultimate goal is CAS then jump in now. It is a long learning curve to be proficient in the A-10C but well worth the effort and time once you have it down. There is plenty of expert help on this forum so you will never be alone.

I think that most A-10 mission planners would avoid any contact with fighter aircraft. It just isn't built for that kind of action. I have fighter aircraft turned off in my settings where I can for this very reason. It would be suicide for an A-10 to go up against a fighter. What about the Aim-9 you say? That was added for pilot comfort I surmise. Fly missions the A-10 is designed for and you will be a lot less frustrated.

Pretty lucky that I got an incentive ride back in the day. Pretty much one of the highlights in my AF career. Way beyond cool. You can see how big the smile was on my face in the cockpit picture. Well admit to getting sick after the 9-G maneuvers.

Thanks for the info I am working with the adjustments now and have set mine to 65 also. Haven't gone back into the game to check it out yet but am hopeful it is good. Thanks again.

So I am having trouble reading the symbology on the HUD. The lettering is too small and I don't want to zoom in every time I want to see what it is saying. I have done searches for HUD enhancement on this forum and the DCS website but only found a 3d HUD enhancement without install instructions but I don't think it is what I am looking for anyway. Is anyone aware of a mod that will increase the font size of the lettering on the HUD and possibly even increase the intensity of the brightness above what you can get from the UFC? Thanks for your input ion advance.

Thanks for the responses. I didn't try pressing the F-8 key when it was black to contact the ground crew. So much for thinking outside of the box. i will give it a try.

So this is new for me. When I select INT on the ICP and push radio button forward for VHF AM I used to get the radio F-key menu which included F-8 for ground crew. Now when I push F-8 the Dial on the ICP turns back to VHF and the F-8 option turns black. I am in easy communications. It doesn't do this with easy comms off. But before 1.2.8 I did not have this problem. Anyone else having this problem?

Has anyone flown the Battle of Kazbegi 1.62? This particular mission eats up FPS bad. My frame rate drops to 8 FPS just flying along. What in a mission causes the drastic frame rate drops like this? I have also flown the mission In the Weeds and can maintain FPS above 60 FPS. What is it about the Kazbegi mission that eats up the FPS.

Is there a list of the most important switches and buttons to have bound to my HOTAS controllers for the F-15c. I use Ch Products Fighterstick and Pro Throttle. I am just learning the F-15c and of course the A-10C profile doesn't work very well. I don't mind binding them myself but would like to know what are the most important switches and buttons I need on the HOTAS. Thanks for your reply. I would even try a pre-made profile for my controllers if someone has a good one.

More immersion I voted for the F-18E Super Hornet and I will tell you why. The F-18 would add many more dimensions to the sim Taking off and landing on a carrier plus a new way to air refuel. It adds new weapons to the sim and different tactics. I love the A-10 after having maintained it for 10 years but it is getting a little boring doing the same thing over and over. CAS I mean, With the F-18E we could do A to A and ground attack. which would add more immersion in the sim. Sure other aircraft would add the same things but I don't think that any would add all of this at the same time. A lot of people want to be Tom Cruise in their F-14 but I think there are is a more urgent need for today's frontline fighters. Just my opinion.
