Hi, I'm now able to detect when the aircraft is stopped on deck, tough I still need to work on my triggers to avoid conflicting messages ... but I now believe that my mission will eventually work as intended:

Indeed .. I'm checking the speed on an aircraft Parameter, not sure if it can be seen on a script: CURRENT_GS:24.972935\ It returns the speed in knots

Great video .... couldn't find a place to hang it on the Skyraider forum, so here it is: Skyraider sound recording (couldn't embed the video, sorry)

Hi, yes, I was just testing that On my mission the carrier's speed is set to 25 knots, but in reality it fluctuates between 24.95 and 24.98. If the aircraft is taxing towards the bow, its GS will be higher than that range, if it is taxing towards the stern then its speed will be below that range. I will test this now in practice, and let you know how it went

Hi, thanks for posting here. I will check your idea, to see if it would work in practice ... will let you know.

Yeah, and nowadays everyone is used to people putting their own needs over other's .. who cares if you have to spend time translating my important post

Hello, on a mission of mine, I need to detect when an aircraft is stopped on deck. The parameters for aircraft speed (tas, indicated, gs) all take into account the carrier and/or wind speeds. So far I can detect if the player is applying wheelbrakes, but not if the aircraft is immobile or not. anyone has a script that could work for this use case? thanks a lot for any help with this Eduardo

Maybe, but only ED knows when that will happen. I'm null at creating liveries, so I depend on users like you sharing the liveries they create ... but I do like to edit training missions, but without the ModelViewer to inspect the arguments of the cockpit elements there is no way I can do this kind of missions for the new F-5 (which I foolishly purchased before knowing about its encryption), pity so now I'm instead making this type of mission for the T-45C User Mod.

ED has encrypted the 3d shape of this module, unfortunately the ModelViewer has not been updated to be able to load these encrypted files. i understand that all upcoming ED modules, like the Mig-29, will have this same encryption … that’s why I have not pre-purchased the Mig-29 in spite of it being one of my favorite aircraft

Sad to see the term "abandonware" being used with such ease and lightness. Something being old is not the same as being abandoned, I'm pretty sure it is being maintained or it wouldn't work on the current DCS version ... maybe you mean that no new features nor tech changes is the same as being abandoned, it is not.

Major, I enjoy trying out new community-created liveries, missions, campaigns, and new assets. Dcs would not be the same for me if I had to go back to official content only.

I understand your logic, but I'd rather stick with my preference for finishing one item before starting another.

Hi, Just downloaded your F-14 Guide, seems really well written and with a lot more information on combat than either the Heatblur manual nor Chuck's Guide. I'm not currently flying the Tomcat but a lot of its information is applicable to other fighter aircraft, I added it to my DCS library and will serve as night-time reading I'd love to see something similar but for the MiG-29, perhaps write first one for the Flamming Cliffs version? ... and then a 2nd version once the Full Fidelity aircraft arrives? Best regards, from Chile Eduardo

but not any from Aerges .. they even redid their first Module with a fully reworked Flight Model and as a plus added a second version of it, the C-101CC, all free for their current owners, and did all of it before releasing their second Module ... a true example for other developers. Wonder how you can be sure of that, any users survey? .. I like cold war birds and thus I'm sure to purchase the F-104, but the Mirage F1 has a lot going for it: 4 versions including a two seater, a more modern radar and better air-ground capability, so I wouldn't bet that the F-104 would sell in larger quantities. According to the Spudknocker's 2024 survey the Mirage F1 was owned by 20% of the users that participated on that survey (which has probably a MP bias to it). Everyone can have his own opinion, but I'm really glad that Aviodev is opting for finishing their current Module first, before focusing on the next. Anyway, I'm sure they are advancing with the 104 in parallel, so I truly expect that the 104 will appear not too long after the Mirage F1M. Eduardo

It was still working for me on January of 2025, but have not tested it more recently:

while you wait for BD campaign, you could give a try to this user-made campaign: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3344992/

bad decision to finish one Module before starting another? Really? … that means you are OK with Modules left unfinished? … I strongly disagree, Aerges deserves all our respect for the way they develop on DCS.

Why some people expect to always get things for free? I've flown the -21 for years, so I feel that by now I truly got my money's worth.

Its correct, the VPC object light normally does not illuminate the cockpit interior ... on my case I placed the Canopy on the CW Germany Map, where the built-in light of the ramp does illuminate the cockpit for some reason.

@razo+r is correct, if you place the aircraft as "start from ground" rather than "start at ramp", then it can spawn inside a VPC Canopy, like this: If you want the interior lights of the canopy to work, then it must be placed as a ground unit of type "fortification", instead of a simple Static Object:

Strange bug .. the nevada mission on my DCS also shows tooltips (which I have not enabled on my config), so it is not a bug within your DCS, but rather something within the MIZ file itself ... but could not find the cause

for me its a deal breaker, the F-5E was cheap at only us$ 10 but I still regret the purchase and have barely flown it. I have also passed on the Mig-29 and will refuse to spend money on aircraft that can’t have user skins nor can their cockpits be loaded on the ModelViewer

Hopefully the DCS Model Viewer will be able to open its 3D shape, so that users can create liveries and training missions for it ... unlike the F-5E Remastered.

these old missions were made for the version 1.3 of the uh60 Mod, perhaps you are using a different version?
