Np dont worry... I'm using the radio stations to have Radio Music Staions arround the scenario... I didn't understand what you mean in "...placing radio stations in game nonsense." What bug are we talking about ?

OKay thanks gusy ill have to make some research before i chose. :)

Hi guys ! Im seeking for a BS clan ! Does anyone knows where should I be applying at ? I googled a bit but there's no chance ! I'm looking for english speaking people UK or Germany or even France.. Please let me know

If it was that easy Airtom I'd have made my way easier and didn't spend 1 hour for the detailed discription ! What I'm trying to do is helping new people getting in this forum topic understand better how to make theri station to work, instead of cheering and saying NOW IT WORKS PERFECTLY and so on.... Maybe for you it is so simple but consider that there are people who've never heard about scripting or are new DCS users.... So permit me to say they your comment is misplaced. Maio out

I'm using BS 1.0.1c PLease ED team tell us if that's a bug or if there's any solution. Thanks

If you dont see the ADF channels on the wall that means that you where trying to modify the Beacon.lua file and there was an error in the script you wrote ... if you replace it by the original file you'll see it back.

Okay I tried what you said today, but no success ! I tried to use only russian CVN and SU-33, first attempt was with 2m/s wind from 110° and the boat was heading 290° stationary, the SU-33 WPT-3 was on the boat landing type : NO SUCCESS. The other attempt was to make the boat move at 10km/h heading towards the wind but NO SUCCESS niether, the last attempt was NO WIND boat heading 290° stationary and moving : NO SUCCESS ! If you have a working mission would you upload it for me please on www.mediafire.com and pass me the link ? Thanks

Okay Mate ! I just saw the charts and I would have to find the rest of the airport's frequencies cause in the LOMAC charts there are only few of the DCS airports...anyway thanks alot ! Cheers

Hi all, I created a mission with an aircraft carrier (russian or US tried both) with an F-14, F/A-18 and SU-33 creating 2 waypoints, the first is a turning point at 500m speed 500km/h and the second one i placed it over the aircraft carrier and chose landing in the options. The aircraft carrier was going forward at 10km/h and I tried to leave it stationery as well but none of the three aircrafts I chose landed on its carrier ! they come on final, open the landing gear and hook and quickly after that they retract them and go around...they go around till the fuel is out and then fall down into the sea ! Any idea ?

PROBLEM SOLVED HERE'S HOW: Okay I'm gonna teach everybody who had my same problem and didn't understand a s... of the forum's chaos. First of all I'm using windows 7 64 bit and DCS Balck Shark patched to 1.0.1c. 1- download Notpad ++ from HERE : http://www.mediafire.com/file/hdumiyawt3m/npp.5.6.4.Installer.exe 2- after you install Notepad ++ on your PC, go to your Black Shark root folder and open "Radio" folder and that usually is in : c:\Program Files\Eagle Dunamics\Ka-50\Scripts\World\Radio 3- Inside "Radio" folder you'll find a file called "Beacons.lua" 4- Open "Beacons.lua" using Notepad ++ DONT USE NOTEPAD classic it WONT WORK 5- Lets say I would like to create a radio station in Batumi city, so you fly to the place where you want to place your antenna (radio station) you land there and you read on you barometric altimeter the value (the QNE in the mission I created was 760 default). Okay in this example my altimeter reads zero meters. Take a paper and write down that value and next to it write down 26 m, that's because everytime you have to place a radio station for its height you have to add 26 m on the barometric value you read on the altimeter when you are on the disiered spot. For example if you land on a spot you chose and your barometric altimeter (analoghe one) reads 200 meters, all you have to do is add 26, so the result would be 226 meters. 6- Now go to the outside view and write down the coordinates (you can see them on the bottom of the screen when you are in the F2 view), in my case the coordinates are : 41° 39' 28'' N and 41° 40' 09'' E write it down on that paper again. 7- Go to http://andrew.hedges.name/experiments/convert_lat_long/ insert your latitude and longitutes that you just signed on that piece of paper and the converter will convert them to you in decimals, so the results in this example would be : Lat: 41.65778 and Long: 41.6525 , write them down on the paper. 8- Okay now go back the Notepad ++ and the file "Beacons.lua", scroll down to }, ["Mayak"] = { 9- Copy }, ["Mayak"] = { name="Mayak", type = BEACON_BROADCAST_STATION, position = { latitude = 44.744348, longitude = 40.093099, height = 220.0, course = 0 }, frequency = 125675000.0, power = 1500.0, modulation = "AM", content = { [1] = { startTime = 0 * 3600 + 0 * 60 + 0, period = 30.0 * 60.0, priority = 1, sources = {"RadioMayak\\!RadioMayak.wav"} }, [2] = { rand = true, cycled = true, interruptable = true, priority = 0, sources = { "RadioMayak\\Music/" } 10- after sources = { "RadioMayak\\Music/" } write down } } }, 11- Now paste the paragraph you just copied after } } }, 12- Replace the name Mayak by Batumi, the longitude and latitude by the one you have converted and wrote down on that piece of paper, the height should be 026.0 and the frequency I chose 122.675, so in the Notepad ++ it should be like this : frequency = 122675000.0 13- Okay hold on now ! Its time to create your own playlist... go to c:\Program Files\Eagle Dunamics\Ka-50\Sounds\Samples\ Create a folder called RadioSky (it corrisponds to Sky Blue Radio) 14- Open the folder "RadioSky" you just created and Create inside another folder named "Music". 15- Inside the main folder "RadioSky" place a .wav or .ogg file named !sky.ogg , in my case this file was the jingle of the original Sky Blue Radio online streaming radio you can chose wahtever you want.... 16- Now open the folder "Music" and place inside all the songs you want to listen too while flying around Batumi. I chose .ogg format because it is smaler than the .wav files and makes the mission loading faster but CAUTION when you tune to the radio station you'll have to wait about 10 seconds so that the playlist begins. 17- Go back to the Notepad ++ and replace in the "Batumi" section NOT "Mayak" section sources = {"RadioMayak\\!RadioMayak.wav"} by sources = {"RadioSky\\!Sky.ogg"} and also replace sources = { "RadioMayak\\Music/" } by sources = { "RadioSky\\Music/" } 18- Okay now save the file "Beacons.lua" in Notepad ++ and close the program, it should look like this http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w278/maiochine/AVIATION/script.jpg http://www.mediafire.com/file/j2xxyzyrjwm/script.jpg 19- Open DCS BS, go to Batumi airport, takeoff, and select the channel 122.675 and the music should begin ! If you go next to the Radio Station Tower it should look like this http://i178.photobucket.com/albums/w278/maiochine/AVIATION/ScreenShot_001.jpg http://www.mediafire.com/file/kriqznmig4m/ScreenShot_001.jpg That's all folks ! Hope you understood everything and in case of doubt just ask me ! Enjoy.

Hi Ferderf ! Would you please tell me where can i find the real frequencies ? you said you consulted your Caucasus Nav volume...where can I get it ? Would you send me the list of all 27 aerodromes with their relative frequency ? Thanks mate

Hi Esac, I saw you have resolved the problem and you are filling the whole map with radio stations ! Im using normal notepad ++, windows 7 64 bit and BS 1.0.1c When I change the script in the beacons.lua file the Mayak radio station is not audiable anymore ! I tried to do exactly like your script but no hope! Im creating a folder inside "Samples" folder (as the readme file says) and I named it "RadioMayar" and I repicated the same contents as "RadioMayak" folder inside the one I just created ... nothing works neither the Mayak radio works now ! Im using the same scirpt you are using! Please tell me step by step what should I do ! Thanksmate

For more info you can contact me on maiochine@hotmail.com Cheers :)

EDITED ON THE 07TH OF FEBRUARY 2012 Sorry for the inconvenience but this joystick is no longer available I donated it to my Canadian fly mate now I run on my beautiful Warthog A-10C HOTAS from Thrustmaster :) Hi there ! I got these three joysticks the F-15 replica's and the SFS dual throttle that I wanted to merge to have one unique F-15 HOTAS for Lock On... the project was abandoned through the time !:( So if there's anyone intrested of having this project continued or just want to have these joysticks let me know !

Im form Milan Italy

Thanks for the quick reply... i would like to show you what im planing to do .... This is aviano airport i would like to add this initial part of the runway with the yellow arrows, and i guess i should modify the 3d model of the runway to add these texture !!! What shell i do ? The files .rn are 3d objects that can be modified ? is there any chance to add textures files to the taxiway other WPP-RUL so that i can create a holding point texture next to the RWY entrance.

Hi ! I would like to modify an airbase like Belbeck and would like to be able to put my own textures for the runway and the taxyways also, like for example i would like to have my runway made of 5 different textures and my taxi should have the possibility to have a holding point area where i can insert my texture there, different that the other taxi textures. I was wondering if there's any chance to modify Belbeck.rn file because i want to personalise my airport without changing the look of other lock on airports ! Please help Thanks

Hello there ! I have an important thing to do and ive been searching on the forum for an answer but no help ! Okay... So i would like to modify BelBek airport. First i would like to be able to put some holding point textures before runway entrance . HOW TO DO THAT ? Second , i would like to modify the PARKING SIZE, and assign a texture for it and ONLY FOR BELBEK airpot parking area ! HOW TO DO SO ? Third : I would like to insert new 3D objects, like an ILS or localiser antenna and would like to know how to do so without replacing static objects in lock on. PLEASE REPLY ASAP. THnks

Hi Shemi ! I would like to ask you please if you could tell me what steps should i follow to make a modification to an airbase ! I would like to change the aspect of the Belbek airport : parking areas + taxiways + RWY holding points and RWYS Is there a software that helps me see what im doing without entring Lock On everytime i make some modification ? Would it be possible to add stuff on the airport like small antennas etc... ? If yes how do you insert your 3d model inside this specific airport ? Thanks in advance mate and have a nice day :)

Hello ! I am planning on restyling BelBek airbase and changing its textures and maybe modifying hangars in it ! First I would like to know what file corrisponds to the taxiways and what should i wuse to modify them. I would like to know how can i Add or modify hangars existing on that airbase. Thanks a lot for any help you can provide.

Oh no ! :( too bad ... but in DCS will it be possible ? Thanks

Hello guys ! i hope im not going out of topic but i need help doing a mod. Im building an F-15E for Lock On and would like to know how can i change the thrust power of the aircraft like the F-15C in lock on has a 2x PW F100-220 with 25,000 lbf each on AFB instead the F-15E has 29,000 lbf. So what file should i modify to modify the empty weight of the aricrat and the power of the engines ? Appreciate any help you can provide. many thanks

Hey i have solved that take a look at this topic : http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=33750&page=2 Good luck:thumbup:

SOLVED Okay Mate you are right ! So i opened the editor, in my editor i went to the upper menu and i chose "Flight" than in the "Flight" menu i chose "Prepare Flight". I went into the cockpit i turned on the batteries, I turned on the ABRIS , I chose "Plan" function from the "Menu" category of the ABRIS, I saved the "Plan" like it says in the manual in the ABRIS, I went back to the "mEnu" category and i chose "CTRL" , In "CTRL" i chose "DTB" and i saved my Nav data and Routes into the ABRIS permenent storage and my PC Hard disk. I went out of the flight, I saved the .mission before i closed BS. I went in the "missions" folder in BS sub folders, I chose the mission file i was working at, I opened it in Winzip, Inside this time there were more than 2 files and ofcourse i saw the file ROUTES.lua that i was searching for it's been 3 days , and inside were the routes i saved ! I have a remarque for DCS developpment team : Guys ! could'nt you spend 2 sec of your .time and add 2 words in the Manual that explains that the script file would be inside of the compressed mission file and that it is FONDAMENTAL to run the mission in PREPARE MODE ????????????? I was fortunate that the forum helped me but there are millions of virtual pilots right now who are still trying to decode your manual to find out how things works. Overall the BS is a great great great product and i am very enthousiast by bying it and in my opinion it is the best war simulator on the marked in this moment (except for the fact that no airplane has been added yet) but soon it will be the number one of the whole planet ! So take it as a suggestion and have a nice day Team DCS :)

I did RTFM and when i save the FRP in my abris like you're saying, i go back to my missions folder i look up for the mission file i was doing, i open it unzipping it and find only 2 files: mission and option that has nothing ot do with the saved FP in the ABRIS. Any help ?
