I've been using the MiG-21 a lot lately, and I was getting a bit bored of the MiG's default theme. So, I replaced the wallpaper, the loading screen, and the background music. I'm sharing it so that maybe other users feel compelled to share theirs It's packaged in OvGME format, so that I can easily change themes as the mood strikes (as DCS only allows a single User Theme). It does not impact the multiplayer IC, since its files go into your /Saved Games/ folder. To use it you will have to select the USER THEME. Credits: Wallpaper photo by Steve Knight. Loading photo from alphacoder.com, if anyone knows its origin please let me know. Music by Laura Brehm, https://www.youtube.com/@laurabrehm As soon as the file gets approved, I will add a download link. Here is a very short video to be able to hear the music: Edit: here is a temporary download link from my cloud drive, as the User File still waits for approval: The file is already at User Files: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3343109/ Eduardo

I would vote yes, but to me PFM or EFM is the same thing, EFM being a Flight Model developed by a third party (external) while PFM is a Flight Model developed by ED. Maybe you mean a "Full Fidelity" Su-25A ?

Seems you are correct, a careful reading of the english manual that I have (Pilot’s Flight Operating Instructions No. TK-359), says: "In the course of successive actuations of the firing button, rockets will be fired at first from both inboard rocket pods, in compliance with the preset launch variant (i.e. RETS-4, 8 or 16), then the outboard rocket pods will begin to unload their rockets (automatic switchover will take place after all rockets have been fired from the inboard pods and once the firing button is depressed another time)." Correct, seems I will have to update my mission even before its released Yes, it was possible, as this YT image shows: Thanks a lot for the help, I will adjust my mission, as I love to be as realistic as possible Best regards, Eduardo

this has ben asked/wished on several threads already …. doing it one more time won’t make it happen, it just pollutes the forum.

Hi, Just wanted to add that I repeated the test using four pods of 16 rockets, and the issue happens just the same: only inner pods fire, and once depleted only then the outer pods fire too. Sadly, I doubt this bug will be solved anytime soon, so I will have to add a bug explanation to my training mission in order to be able to release it Eduardo

It has 12 Instant Action missions (6 for caucasus plus 6 for Kola), two Single Missions, and 5 Training missions.

Hi, While editing a rocket training mission I realized that the Salvo setting is not working as describe on the manual: if I select a salvo size of 4 rockets, I expect 4 rockets to come out of each pod, but only the inner Pods do, the outer Pods don't begin firing until the inner pods are empty. This with a configuration of two 32 rocket pods on the inner stations, plus two 16 rocket pods on the outer stations. Has anyone else encountered this? Its a bug? Here is a video I did while testing: Thanks for any help with this, Eduardo

Hello, I found it was an error of mine, I ended up using this sentences: Defining the Weapon Filter: myFilters={} myFilters.rockets_S5M = WT.weapon.newFilter() myFilters.rockets_S5M:addTerm("Name","S-5M",true) To detect the rockets near my aircraft: WT.weapon.near("MyAircraft",myFilters.rockets_S5M,1200,"RocketsNear") I use the RocketsNear value to update a counter of how many rockets I've fired so far ... I will use this to have my triggers detect the moment I run out of Rockets. Below is my test mission. Thanks a lot for all your help and for sharing these tools. Eduardo Test Weapon Near.miz

I tried Firefox today and on my PC I have no issue, either browsing the guide or downloading the pdf: maybe it's the PDF software of some users, I employ Adobe Acrobat Reader v24

Me too ... here is a sample:

This got to be one of the most useless threads currently on the Forum ... I for sure will purchase the Module once its on the Store, but until then I refuse to spent time worrying about it, instead I prefer to fly the F-4E and the MiG-21 ... it's way more entertaining than ranting about a news update.

I use ChatGPT to write for me fictional storylines for some of my missions, it's very good at that. With some effort I can get complete storylines I have not and believe that most likely it is not feasible.

Hello, I tried it, but for some reason it didn't count the rockets, on this next screengrab, the "Rockets fired" line displays the current value of the flag (rocketsNear), and it is at 0 in spite of having fired 32 rockets I will now edit a simpler test mission (the one I'm using as testbed is the actual mission where I need to count how many rockets I've fired, since the MiG-21 does not have any in-cockpit display with the remaining rocket quantity still available) .. hopefully I will find my error, but in any case a simpler mission set at Caucasus will allow me to share it here if I'm still having trouble best regards Eduardo

Hi, I dont really know, but I trust @Reflected tutorials a great deal more than those of Grim Reapers

I have no practical experience with huge formations, but perhaps this tutorial can help:

try the little "tank icon" that’s on the bottom status bar of the Editor

if you upgraded from a 1080p display to a 1440 one, then your gpu has to move around 5 million pixels instead of 2 million, a performance hit is unavoidable. Give it a try: tell windows to use your old resolution: 1920 x 1080 and re-test dcs

Thank you so much for the help .. will try it out tonight, as well as the debug tip ... will let you know how it went Cheers, eduardo

Thank you, I wasn't aware of this video

Hi @WirtsLegs .. I have not been able to have this function work for me, can you please clarify for me if it is able to detect rockets? or just missiles and bombs? I load the tools like this: then I define a filter like this: But when firing the rockets I get a value 0: This is a video of my test .. where I write on the screen the value of the rocketsNear flag: Hopefully you can spot what I'm doing wrong here Eduardo

no need, your AV already did

Not related, your issue seems to be different than the OP's ... search the forum for "antivirus false positive" and you should get a solution for your issue.

I simply backup the original file prior to editing it.

I have my first rocket mission almost complete, now working on adapting it for the S-5 rocket and then will update the set at User Files, Cheers! Eduardo

most likely a user mod issue … perhaps you have an old version of the Gripen?
