Many thanks Darcaem for clearing that one up. Now to get flying.

Hi All Just purchased the Hornet in the sale and went right into the mission editor but only get the F18Lot. Why don't I get the FA-18C? Is this because I need to select different countries? Any info gratefully received Cheers

I overwritten the missions as i was trying different things out. I started from scratch and found that with 1 AI, the plane landed OK. With 3, one would land and then as the next 2 came in, they landed together on top of one another exploding. When I have more time, I will post mission etc. Cheers

Bignewy, if I have a track of it I will post it up. Wont be until weekend now. Cheers

Thanks for the reply enigma6584. Real shame about that. Thought I did everything right but had to make sure. Lets hope that we get a carrier and fixed scripts so we can enjoy. Like you said, it does make mission building a bit of a waste of time in some areas.

Hi All Can't believe I have actually achieved landing the Harrier on a carrier. So I set up a flight with some AI and gave them the same waypoints as myself and the last waypoint to land. After I landed, I got out of my plane to watch them land only to see them come in and hover to the right and crash into the sea and explode. Should I have had a single group for each AI or given each AI in the group their own waypoints? Or, is it something else? Hope I have explained myself OK. :helpsmilie: Cheers

Looking forward to seeing this if it ever gets implemented. Immersion scale + +

Just came across this post as I was about to start a new thread regarding cloud formations. On a flight this week, I couldn't help thinking about this subject in dcs. The formations as we climbed to our cruising height was awesome. So many layers and builds of clouds. I hope that we do get the opportunity to see this in dcs and also the option for lower versions for those who can't get the fps. This will certainly make the immersion considerably more intense. Cheers

A101Ways, tried that out and it worked which was great. Only problem I have is getting them to follow the waypoints more accurately, flyovers etc, but that's something I can work on. Cheers

Thats something to look at as well. Cheers Wrench

Thanks for the info. I will give this a go tomorrow. Hope it works as this will be great for videos. Cheers

New update is really nice. Only problem I have is the Altimeter. I can't read the lower digits so have to judge my height when landing.

Is it possible to get AI to fly the set waypoints continuously until they run out of fuel and have to land? Or, do I have to use the Aerobatics Add columb in mission editor? I want to fly in formation doing fly overs of the air strip with the AI as lead so that I can get really close. I know about the Orbit Task but can't see how that would work for me. Cheers

The most stand out sound I have noticed is the airbrake. Not sure about it but will check it on other mods just in case I have a conflict with other sounds. Apart from that, I am happy.

OK, cheers for that. I usually disable everything just in case as I knew you could get errors from the main install. Might stick to my guns at least I feel safe. I use JSGME so it makes life easier as well. Cheers Guys

As we progress with this great sim, I have a quick question. When updating dcs, do we have to disable all mods etc in the Saved Games folder as we would with the Root installation? I always disabled everything in both just in case of overwriting. Cheers

Hey Larkis I know what you mean. I find it very hard to spot. I think I read somewhere in the forum that the lighting is set accordingly as in the Caucasus, they were limited to electricity being available as in real life. Not sure if I am confusing myself here ha ha. I think that is why. Have a search around and maybe you might find it.

The map itself is very good but everytime i try a night flight, on approach, i have to get right on top of it before i see the runway lights. These guys don't have a power problem so there is no need for energy saving surely? I think the night environment still needs looking at. Are there any adjustments that we can make? Cheers

Always keep a previous version just in case. So far, never needed it. Might try to do some adjustments for distance if I can. Cheers

Wow, just watched the latest video with V5 and just blown away. Only comment I would make is the distant sound needs to be more but thats my opinion. For me, this is a triumph. Well done Hubson. Cheers

I understand bignewy, its still a carrier and I had placed the SU33 on USA side. I will be testing all carriers I have and see what happens

Many thanks for link bud Cheers

Exploding on Stennis Every time I land on the Stennis, folded wings and start to taxi to parking, I get so far and then explode. Is there some bug with the SU-33 or is it DCS? Using latest stable release Cheers

OK Razo+r. I will check that out. Many thanks

I would like to know if it is possible to use the mouse to get measurements or headings while using F10 map during missions, just like you can when in ME? Sometimes a wingman goes missing in action and would like to be able to give a distance to them to either catch up or a heading to take. Cheers
