Hmm, does that mean the aircraft still act like they are hostile rather than just float about without a care?

Thanks, i don’t see an option for guns though?

Hi I am trying to get an air group to dogfight without actually firring. If I set it to HOLD FIRE they don't bother to do much at all. If I set them to RETURN FIRE, it may as well be FIRE AT WILL because that is what it does as soon as we merge. Any ideas? or is that how it is? Maybe there is a script where suddenly they have 2x R73 and I start them off without ammo?

Ok thanks, I'll look that one up

It would be good if there was a tutorial on this.

So I got that far with cirle orbit but not sure how to set the time? There's a TIME MORE in the advanced waypoint setting if that does anything but does it randomise? I'm not sure. This is new to me.

Hi, is there a way to get a air unit AI unit, once it moves to way point 1 it just stayes there for a "Random time" between 5 and 10 minutes before it moves onto the next waypoint?

I had a look at your file. Damn, I'm lost. That is really intensive I don't know where to look as there's a lot going on there. I was wondering if you have a cut down version specifically for what's been talked about?

Hi All, I'm working on a ROE Intercept mission. Is there a way to determine if the Player or Players group fires within a trigger zone? Also, how do you set the mission as a failure for a campaign if that's the case? (broken Rul of engagement)

That would be great to see how you managed it :)

Hi all, so I have a few questions around what I’m trying to do in mission Editor. Scenario: intercept a couple of bandits though no idea about their intentions. They could be hostile immediately or we merge and end up fighting without a shot being fired. If they are not hostile they will just bug out and objective complete. However after a random time they might actually engage then the mission becomes fire at will. To achieve this there are a few factors to achieve. 1. Is it possible to randomise the ROE? 2. Is there a way force a unit/group to move to a waypoint after a random time one minimum 5 mins, maximum 10? 3. I can’t seem to find ROE as an action in triggers. Have I missed it or is there a work around?

Currently they're not the static ones. Standard ones. I'll go with which ever is the easiest though to achieve what I'm after.

Yeah I am using the Elnya tanker

That's fine. How would I go about doijng that?

Hi I think I have found a bug for the F18. Has anyone else had the same issue? HSI freezes up, moving map freezes and heading on the HUD also freezes (unable to locate waypoints.

Hi all. In the mission editor, is there a way to set damage to a unit? In particular set the damage to an oil tanker (Tanker Elnya 160) so it's smoking? Can this only be done with a scrtipt and if so where would I put it?

Hi All, I was wondering when crerating a mission for a campaign and you have completed as mission for example destroyed a vehicle, is there a standard that the game uses or everyohne is using? Do you need to create a trigger to say "Mission complete" or some3 other action?

Hi I'm fairly new to F18 DCS and a little confused. I have a few questions if anyone can answer that would be good. when I have Amramm selected for the F18, select a target n the radar I only sometimes get the information of the target on the HUD such as Range? Target box after slecting the target on radar the target box seems to be off and out of the HUD? Also on radar after selecting the target after pressing enter it loses lock sometimes? Any help greatly appriaciated.

After doing lots of low level flying, the low altitude beeps are getting on my tits now. Any way I can do something about it?

Question; How does this work on multiplayer? For example for 1v1 dogfights do both players have to have the skin in order for both players to see the skin? If only one player has the skin the rest can also see it?

Yep that did it! Thanks for your responses :thumbup:

Yeah it says updater. I'll look into it after this is complete. Hopefully I'll get the updated map soon!

hmm, I'm still none the wiser...I actually have an update for DCS to 2.9.8.81. Maybe that will do it?

:cry: I have no idea. I was under the impression it was out.

Hi all, I recently downloaded the Persian Gulf map from this site. I thought there was an update where Ras al-Khaimah airport was added (also with other map updates). For some reason its not there? Has this actually come out yet or how do I update the map?
