I have been playing around in the Huey in 1.5, I gotta say, it works great. I seem to remember Matt Wagner saying something about multi-seat aircraft in 1.5, does this include the Huey? If so, I really can't wait to gun while someone else flies, or vice versa. If anybody can confirm if this works or not, that would be great. Also, assuming it does work, I'd love if someone was interested in giving it a shot. All the DCSers I know IRL don't fly the Huey (afraid of rotorcraft for some reason) Thanks guys! Wrench

Had to do this while I waited for the download. JUST SO EXCITED I SIMPLY CAN'T STAND IT! Thanks go out to everyone at ED and the third party devs involved in making this happen! I am so grateful you guys did this for us!

Hey guys, I have my CDU in the A-10C Exported to the top right corner of my screen all the time. Doesn't matter which monitorsetup file i select in options. I checked to make sure the one i'm using doesn't have the CDU listed. I have an export.lua which operated as a server for an android app (which has never done this before now) in /savedgames/scripts, which I renamed to Export.lua.bak. This all started when I switched from the monitor setup I had for dual screen, exporting MFCD's and the CDU to a second screen, to the default "stereo" Setup to test a DIY Rift I mocked up using my phone and Kinoni as a test bed. Screen for refence here: I just can't figure out where It's coming from. Monitor setup code: Export.lua Here Any ideas where it might be coming from?

Hazaa! Putting the CDU first made everything hunky dory. Thanks for the tip Ian.

Okay I didn't try the CDS first, I had it the other way around. I attached the CDU Export.lua for your evaluation. Should probably have done that in the first, but it's hard to find. Export.lua

Hey guys. I have an interesting problem. I'm using ergn's DCCSTAD http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=139250 as well as this A-10C DCU http://cafe.naver.com/dcstr Because I fly both the F-15C and the A-10C. The problem is, if I put both the CDU and DCSTAD stuff in one Export.lua, It breaks DCSTAD. Is there a way I can have 2 different lua's, each called when I load one aircraft?

Got it! Thanks for being patient with my idiotness.

In command_defs.lua, I still dont see the 3001 string. Nor"fuelsys_interface" nor even the word fuel anywhere.

Sweet! Good luck with your phd!

Great Work! Is it possible to make a radio item to spawn a random group? Even better, is it possible to make it spawn a random group, and not attempt to spawn it again? That way, I could have 3 groups of enemy fighters, and spawn them in a random order, but not have it attempt to spawn the same group twice? I'd like this option for a trainging mission I'm doing where I can spawn a random group, then have to find and destroy them, then spawn the next random group.

Where is the disable trackir at in the controls?

Great work!

Wow, I have to say i'm impressed so far with the response. Thanks guys.

I know this has been kicked around on the forums a lot. The problem is, the responses are generally like "If you flat scissors you will loose to a flanker" or "Take him out in BVR" This is not as helpful as what I'm looking for. I've also seen "Playing against AI isn't very good training, just because you can shoot down AI doesn't mean you won't get wrecked online" This is where the problem lies. I can't shoot down the AI. Even set to "average" in WVR, I can't shoot down the AI. I know BVR is easier, That's not the point. If he dodges my AMRAMs and we merge, then what? Give up? Pop flare and chaff, jink and prey? Eject so he won't but a IR skeeker through your canopy? I know the F-15 is an energy fighter. How do I use that to my advantage? How to I use all that thrust to get WVR kills? What I need is a resource, some training, videos of a pro, instruction. For the love of god I need Instruction. Is there anyone who can fight WVR in this aircraft? Can't someone post some track files, a youtube video, a written tutorial? A half-washed out doodle on a bar-napkin photographed with a Nokia "cameraphone" from the 1990's? Anything more that a quick quip vaguely referencing "Boom and zoom" with no explanation on how to implement this tactic? I don't mean to sound like a D-b*g here, but I have tried everything I can think of to get an edge (not that EDGE:music_whistling:) on the Flanker, to no avail. I just need someone to give me some useful information. And then, Finally, we will have a resource for all the other would-be fighter pilots who just can't get a grasp on this. If you'v learned how to get WVR kills in the F-15, please post something here we can use to learn how to do it too. In the interest of fairness, I have to say that the community has been endlessly helpful on every other question I have had regarding this Sim. You can look at my forums posts, I've asked a lot, and always gotten great answers. And many times more than that I've read threads others have asked the same question I have, and never had to ask myself. I'm just asking for something usable, something with substance, something that can really help a lot of people. What I'd really love is a simple, bottom up approach to learning the BFM, and how to use them in this aircraft.

Any guesses as to when you might be able to resume development? I'm really looking forward to the new features.

Well, I still need the extra trigger, but at least it works.

Okay, thanks.

Okay, Allow me to rephrase. I need to stop the smoke at a specified event, not at the 5 minute mark. There's no way to do this? Not even a script?

Its a trigger action called "sound to (coalition, country, group)." This will allow you to choose any recognized sound file. I Think .WAV and .ogg are supported, possibly others.

Its pretty easy. There's a folder your c:\user\*your user name*\saved games\dcs\missions You drop the file in there, and select "my missions" when setting up the server.

Roger, I'll try that, thanks.

I tested it with a different waypoint, and then moved it. Upon further review it looks like the script won't let them. They will search for enemies and engage them, but so far I haven't gotten them to follow a route since my first test.

If you check the OP, you'll see I have updated the mission with CTTS!

Okay, I found a bit of a workaround. I removed the space from "infantry 1" to "infantry1" and use the standalone pre-load script to load one troop in my helo 5 seconds after mission start. After that, the F10 shows up. Link to the mission is here. Its V2.0 Beta.

I just checked, double checked, triple checked, and then checked all the checks I just checked. Everything is right to my understanding. No F10.
