AI ATC / AWACS

Hi, Reinstalled ARIES recently and looks like the fix that was made for gossip box configurator isnt still part of the build that's downloadable on your website ? I had to come back on this forum and download it again to fix the crash related to the unit position / aerodrome in gossipbox configurator...

1. Here CHALICE is the ''crew'' or ''backend'' callsign of the AWACS. The aicraft itself and its pilot have a different callsign, or ''frontend'' callsign. 963rd AACS,Tinker AFB uses ''SHUCK'' as frontend callsign and CHALICE as crew callsign. The person using the CHALICE callsign here is a Weapon's director (WD).

Is anyone able to trim this thing correctly ? It seems like it just can't be done. Looks like hitting the trim keys has to big of an incidence on the trim of the aircraft, which makes it close to impossible to find a sweet spot to maintain a specific altitude or vertical speed... Is this a bug ?

Anything planned for us pseudocontrollers ? Hi, I know that DCS 2 will include several improvements to the map/F10 view. I would like to know if anything is into works regarding stuff that would help players play the role of ATC/GCI/AWACS during online play. I think it would be nice to be able to display info beside the "tracks" on the map such as callsign, altitude and even implement squawk codes. It would also be nice to have a draw tool in the map view and the mission editor to be able to draw airspace overlays for example. If anything, a easier way to draw a bearing and range line on the map during play would be much appreciated. The current ruler tool is simply not practical when you are trying to shoot multiple BRAA and bullseye calls to different flights. I have some real world experience and would love to help if need be. Thank you !

Thank you sir :)

OK I think I have identified the source of the problem: It has something to do with the ''aerodrome location'' in the Gossip Box configurator: If Lochini is selected for the Gossip Box user, it makes everybody else's TS crash once he enters the game and try to talk to people / or people other players try to transmit on his freq. Also, the ''aerodrome location'' selection button appears to be broken in the configurator. Selecting many of the aerodrome choices presented when selecting that option makes Gossip Box configurator crash. (exemple Vaziani). If Batumi is selected, and aircraft are close enough to the station, everything works like it is supposed to be. Activating the Game master / removing comms deterioration makes it possible to use gossip box on the whole map when it is set to Batumi without any issue.

gotcha

Buttons ? In gossip box ?

We verified that we were all using 1.976a and redid a clean install of both TS and Aries. We also tried to see if the problem was caused by a single player by excluding members from the tests we ran. As soon as two players were on the same frequency and transmitted, TS crashed, regardless of who those players were, on which TS server they were, or who was hosting the DCS server. Our DCS is up to date, and our Export.lua seems in order. We really don't know where the problem could be coming from at this point. JP

Is there a way to have your air units altitude and speed displayed in feets/ kts / mach numbers ? Also I can't make my air units fly higher than ''10 000mph''... Is there a way around that ? I feel like CA could be a really fun GCI simulator with minor tweeks: ie possibility to modify hdg and speed of your fighters instead of giving them stupid waypoints.

Had the same problem. Make sure your radar altimeter is turned on. Seems like it doesnt work otherwise.
