Known and reported since DCS 1.5 Doesn't look like a fix is coming any time soon.

Hi LordOriion. Sounds like you may have game avionics mode enabled. Check your options.

I just experienced this with the Hornet. I had loaded a mission with a Hornet wearing a livery I no longer had installed. Instead of simply returning to the default livery, the AC behaved as you described: the loadout page showed the 3D model for the FW-190A8 and I could not adjust any options. Deleting and recreating the aircraft did not appear to have any effect. The resolution in my case was to build a new mission, but all I was doing was testing a livery so I didn't explore other avenues or test if I could get into the funky Hornet in-game.

I truly admire your willingness to stick with your projects especially in the face of some of the setbacks you've had. Keep learning and keep up the good work. :thumbup:

Impressive necro. :lol:

Hi feipan, ED have fixed the "SOUND TO COUNTRY" bug as of version 2.5.5.33184 Please let us know if you have any other difficulties!

Still no, I'm afraid.

Are the targets within engagement distance for Harpoons? Are the ships you're trying to use armed with Harpoons? Generally, if naval groups are within firing range of one another they will start lobbing ASMs without any encouragement from you...in fact, you'll probably have to tell them to stop firing or set the hostile group to "invisible" temporarily in order to keep them from attacking.

Operation Skyhook A scripted, fully voiced cooperative multiplayer COIN mission in the heart of Dubai for strike and/or rotary aircraft featuring an optional CAP component.

Should be all good now. :thumbup:

Whoops...hold my beer ;)

No dice. The team was not able to model that functionality.

The J-11 will work with any AWACS belonging to the same coalition

Sure, just give yourself some wingmen for the first bit so you aren't overwhelmed. There are plenty of AI to help with the main assault.

Hey Gizzy, unfortunately my best advice is to take the slog through the 229th pack and remove any and all objects that no longer have a working 3D model. We at the 355th were having major major stability issues until I removed all non-functional mods from our own pack, even though they weren't in the mission. What's even weirder, is even though none of our mods have anything to do with the KA-50, the cannon was completely borked and firing in the wrong place. I've pruned our own mod package down and our group was able to get through a complex op without any conspicuous crashes to desktop this past Sunday; didn't see any of my guys dropping out either and it had been a hot mess the previous two weeks. The things that really seemed to be problematic were broken ships. If it's helpful here's a list of the extra units and aircraft we're running that didn't crap the bed on us:

Please attach a track demonstrating the issue, as well as your dcs.log file

Bump for 2019...happy 4th everybody.

Here you go. Things escalated a little bit. :lol: Posted this last year with the permission of the group that made the mod. Not sure if it still works. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=215079

Have a look at the missions in my signature; Operation Wax Wings and the New Soviet Republic series are well suited to a small flight of A-10s. Ops Hydra and Skyhook have a helo-specific tasking but you'll still be able to fly the mission without their absence interfering too much. The only item of mine you won't be able to make any real headway on is Operation Lead Sky. I also recommend checking out Operation Bactria as well as anything by the user "deephouse" though these may require some finagling to get working with DCS 2.5 as the terrain has changed drastically since the missions were designed.

Unfortunately not, lighting is hard coded per previous times this conversation has started.

1K is possible, provided most are stationary, but you'll definitely want to run the mission on a dedicated machine that isn't trying to do the math on a PFM at the same time. That is also getting into the area where you start to see some real performance impact so it's going to be a matter of trial and error. SAMs/artillery/warships and similar units with large detection ranges are more resource-intensive than something small like an APC. Moving vehicles are more resource-intensive than stationary ones.

If the computer will boot DCS you should be able to use the mission editor. The number of units shouldn't have much of an effect until the mission is running. As a matter of curiosity, what do you consider to be a huge amount of AI units?

Both versions of this mission are compatible with DCS 2.5.5. This post reserved for future changelogs.

THIS MISSION USES CTLD AND CSAR BY CIRIBOB AS WELL AS MIST BY SPEED AND GRIMES. MISSION BRIEF: As the political situation in the Middle East deteriorates, ISIL has continued to gain influence, destabilizing much of the region. Earlier this morning, a devastating coordinated attack was launched in Dubai coupling suicide bombings with armed invasions of several major landmarks. Al Minhad airbase was severely damaged in the attack, limiting the UAE's ability to deploy support assets of their own, and UAE ground forces have been bogged down evacuating citizens from the affected areas and establishing a secure perimeter around the attack sites. In light of the immediate threat posed by the incursion of ISIL forces in the region, and the dangers an emboldened Islamic State would pose to their own borders, Iran has agreed to lend military support to the UAE to help repel the insurgent forces. It is believed ISIL may have established roadside FOBs somewhere in Qatar from which they could potentially refuel and rearm stolen Iraqi fighter and attack aircraft that may have been ferried into the region in preparation for this attack. UAE air and ground forces are still reeling from the attack. While they have established a strong perimeter and evacuated the majority of civilians from the affliced areas, they have made a formal request for NATO support in repelling ISIL from the region. In addition to suicide bombings at several Western-owned businesses and the homes of prominent political figures, insurgent forces have occupied four key areas. ================================================== OBJECTIVE ALPHA - The Burj Khalifa/Dubai Mall Metro station. ================================================== ISIL forces have bombed Dubai mall, and insurgent troops remain present in the region. Several civilians are confirmed to still be present inside the Burj Khalifa. A detachment of UAE ground forces have fortified the entrance to the tower, but are unable to leave their station to secure the metro station. Neutralize all ISIL forces in the vicinity of the Burj Khalifa. Be careful not to engage friendlies at the tower's entrance. ================================================= OBECTIVE BRAVO - Burj Al Arab and Jumeirah Beach Hotels ================================================= ISIL forces have entered the Burj Al Arab and taken several hostages, which are being held in the hotel's ballroom. Neutralize any insurgent troops around the perimeter of the hotel and insert a special forces team* onto the helipad to enter the facility and rescue the hostages. Numerous insurgent fighters have also been sighted on the rooftop of the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, though reports indicate all civilians were evacuated from that location prior to the attack. *Transport flights: SF team is already on board your helos and will not affect your transport capacity. You may pick up additional troops/crates as desired. ================================ OBJECTIVE CHARLIE - Al Minhad AFB ================================ ISIL forces have taken control of Al Minhad and have siezed control of armor and air defense units that were undamaged in the attack. While they lack the training to operate the Patriot and HAWK batteries in the region, there are several IR systems that could still threaten coalition air support efforts. Destroy all ISIL-controlled equipment and secure Al Minhad AFB. Once control is regained, Al Minhad can be used by coalition aircraft to refuel and rearm. ========================================= OBJECTIVE DELTA - Al Maktoum Internation Airport ========================================= The initial site of the ISIL attack. ISIL forces used several tractor trailers captured from a shipping company based at the airport to discreetly move large numbers of troops and armor. Be on the lookout for any bright red semis from Shahinat Hamra Trucking Company as these may contain additional IS fighters. All other shipping in the region has been suspended, you are weapons free on any of these trucks spotted in the AO. The airport and the surrounding neighborhood are still occupied by ISIL forces, neutralize any insurgents in the area. =========================== FLIGHT PLANS AND TASKING =========================== ====CAP FLIGHTS - Chevy 1, Colt, Sting, Retro 1, Shamshir 2==== Maintain air superiority over Dubai.

Expect to encounter light armor and technicals throughout the AO. They are known to possess both guided and unguided AAA as well as several mobile IR SAM platforms and MANPADS. Former Iraqi Air Force pilots may be operating MiG-21, MiG-23, MiG-25, MiG-29, and Su-25 type aircraft in the AO. =============MOD INFORMATION========= Two versions of this mission are linked in this thread. The standard version contains a few community-created objects such as insurgent technicals and hesco barriers to add to the ambience. Further detail and installation instructions will not be provided by me; if you require assistance downloading and using mods several guides are available in the appropriate forum. You may also fly the "NOMODS" version of the mission where all objects have been replaced with default game assets. To use the standard version, the following mods are required.
