When you say with "friends" do yo mean friendly AI units or real people in multilayer? If you mean AI in single player I think they need to be in your flight (Maximum of 4 helos) to be able to send you coordinates with the datalink not just on your frequency. If you mean multilayer where your friends broadcasting you the coordinates with the datalink? it doesn't just happen automatically

UltraMFCD - drag, resize and click display exports. Zero configuration.
jib replied to Sgt_Baker's topic in DCS Modding
This looks cool, Im not sure I would use it for the A10-C as I already have Cougar mfd's on my screen. Any chance of a KA-50 version as well? That would be great. -
I would offer to take it of your hands mig29movt, but im already the owner of a slightly broken Logitech G940 so I have no need for another one. :joystick:

I'm not sure what you mean? you have just described what combined arms is like now. You can do most of the things in game with CA that you do in the mission builder (I assume it uses the very similar code) the only thing you cannot do is add new units and triggers.

There are loads of posts like this one on the forum if you have a look http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=117193&page=2 http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=104540 Read this AARhttp://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/03/15/the-flare-path-refleks-action/#more-145912 I think it is great, I usually use it in combination with flying. It is fun to be able to control all the ground units on you side and actually make them do intelligent things instead of just sitting doing nothing or charging head long into enemy which you haven't yet thinned out with your CAS mission. It has gotten better and better as ED have been upgrading it, Tanks now have laser range finders with automatic barrel elevation and some SAM systems have basic radars. I believe ED plan to continue upgrades to CA. Also the more enhanced terrain and graphics in the new rendering engine will make it even better. I think in multilayer a lot of players like to use CA to be the JTAC and mark enemy units with smoke markers and IR Spots (at night) for other plays flying air support to attack and talk them onto the target via team speak.

DCS Desert Complete Conversion Mod
jib replied to Highwayman-Ed's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
If you have it installed correctly You just need to change the season in the mission to Fall. I suggest you make it nice a sunny as well, low cloud and fog in the desert doesn't seem realistic. -
Splash Compilation. Tag them and Bag them.
jib replied to winchesterdelta1's topic in Screenshots and Videos
Yeah nice vids, Yes it is not uncommon for a missile to lose lock and re-acquire another target, I have had friendly heat seeking missile hit me when it missed its intended target then found me in its path! You really need to get a TrackIR or other head tracking at least if you want to be competitive on-line. It will improve your situational awarenesses by x5 and increase your general ability as well because you will not have to think about looking around with the keys. -
Are there any mods to remove the Hud reflextions on SU25-t
jib replied to jib's topic in DCS: Flaming Cliffs
I managed to find the offending file in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\aircrafts\Su-25T\Cockpit\Resources\Model\Textures\SU-25T-CPT-TEXTURES\su25t-cpt-hud-glass.tga I tried to change the .dds file with photoshop and resave it but I think I broke the file in the process because now it doesn't show up at all The result is what I wanted thought! -
Why don't tanks have periscopes for turret down?
jib replied to guitarxe's topic in Military and Aviation
If you are going to use cameras why not have a launch able UAV with cameras. it is like a 1000ft long periscope. Edit: opps didn't see Davis0079 post were he said use a predator sort of similar but it would be more like a periscope if each vehicle had there own UAV. -
Are there any mods to remove the Hud reflextions on SU25-t
jib posted a topic in DCS: Flaming Cliffs
Are there any mods to remove the Hud reflextions on SU25-t I was flying at sunrise away from the sun and I could hardly see anything out of my hud This picture doesn't really capture the problem, it is way worse when you are playing. There are 3-4 enemy units down there and I am right on top of them and I still cant see them because of the yellow/orange reflections from the sunrise behind me. there are lots of hud and mirror tweaks here http://www.lockonfiles.com/files/category/164-hud-tweaks-mfd-reflections/ but none for the su25-t anyone have a mod or know where the files are that I need to tweak? -
DCS Desert Complete Conversion Mod
jib replied to Highwayman-Ed's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
Thanks for the explination Highwayman-Ed. I think the satellite colour data is a bit wrong I think they should be more green not black Black Fields? Another satellite picture from nearby shows the fields are green. I have never heard of a crop which is black but I have seen plenty which are green. to bad you cannot make them into circles. Im not saying there isnt any black in the desert. The mountains around there seem to be black rock Maybe you could replace some of the mountain snow textures with a more black rock look, It feels a bit weird seeing snow in the desert. -
To bad I already have them all, although I'm think about spending the £9.50 and buying Blackshark 2 again so I don't have to keeps installing Blackshark 1 and upgrading. Please release more content and take my money!

Im not sure what this black texture is suppose to be? It looks to me like someone dumped 1000s of old tires in the Desert??? Can you enlighten me? -
DCS Desert Complete Conversion Mod
jib replied to Highwayman-Ed's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
I have had some great fun setting up littlet anti insurgent missions. I you find the right spot it really does feel like a different map. It makes you feel very thirsty when you eject and think about having to walk back to base in the deseret. -

I have had this error before, Im not sure what it was I did ,maybe linking the bones to something incompatible, to fix it i think I deleted all the bones at did it again. you know DCS doesn't support IK solvers yet? (untill edge comes out) The videos in this thread might help you out http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=118902&highlight=bones

I to have been getting these whole system locks with repeating sound loops about every 45 mins, I am running a Nvida 560 Ti 1GB. I was thinking that the crash was caused because I only have 4GB of RAM. but somtimes when DCS crashes (and doesn't take down the whole system) it is only using about 1.6GB of RAM But before I upgrade my RAM I will try playing with the graphics drivers agian

Thanks for this method Karlas . you seem it know abit a the new input structure, i wonder if you could help with a question i have? I used to use these lines {combos = {{key = "TRACKIR_YAW", reformers = {"JOY_BTN4", "JOY_BTN3", }, filter = {saturationX = 1, saturationY = 0.05, deadzone = 0, invert = false, slider = false, curvature = {0}}}, }, action = iCommandPlaneViewHorizontal, name = "Camera Horizontal View"}, {combos = {{key = "TRACKIR_PITCH", reformers = {"JOY_BTN4", "JOY_BTN3", }, filter = {saturationX = 1, saturationY = 0.05, deadzone = 0, invert = false, slider = false, curvature = {0}}}, }, action = iCommandPlaneViewVertical, name = "Camera Vertical View"}, in my track IR input file so I could use trakir (with a modifier button) to look around in the extrenal views and Combined arms units without taking my hands of the stick. I can no long get this to work in 1.2.8 any ideas how it might look in the new system?

Surely for something this simple you could just use a PDF document with links to each airport and a home button on each page?

Reworked Cockpit Views with proper Neck
jib replied to PeterP's topic in Utility/Program Mods for DCS World
Thanks alot Zaelu, I will check out this new file when I get home tonight. -
Yeah thanks Sarge I do know about disabling the cockpit render saving some FPS. I just sometime like to zoom in completely on the MFCD's in the cockpit to get a real good look at them, I wouldn't be able to do that if I disabled them.
-
May be next year I will ask to take my setup along. I just need a new computer that meets the DCS minimum requirements for RAM which causes it to crash every 45 mins.
