Zu beachten gilt einfach, dass bei der Aufzeichnung die Controller Eingaben gespeichert werden. D.h. (wohl je nach CPU Auslastung) bei anderen Kamerawinkeln kann das Resultat des Replay abweichen. Oftmals ist es kein Problem, aber wenn z.B. das Flugzeug nach 30 min halt 10m weiter links fliegt als im Original, kann es durchaus vorkommen, dass das Flugzeug im Replay z.B. in einen Baum fliegt....

It would also be nice if triggers could be (easily) copied from one mision to another. I once created the triggers for a mission on Caucasus (all I'd need would be better voice overs). However, if you want it for PG or another map, you have to do it from scratch again (or do some copy/paste stuff within the miz files afaik) which is quite annoying. Also, if you want it for MP/several Mi-8, it would mean creating the triggers for each aircraft... so best of course would be if it would simply be implemented (maybe with a general option to turn it on/off).

Forgot to reply, but it didn't appear anymore. Not sure if it's due to another update or if it really was by disabling 'realtime bomb damage assistance' I guess the latter ;-)

You had me when I read that your aircraft is not seen on the F10 map ;-) It's always nice to create your own flight plan and to set up some ACP. BTW, didn't it say that there's a radio beacon/backup for the factory at 32 FM in mission one? This one didn't give me a homing. It was no big deal though.

Finally tried it out. Nice mod :-)

Good to hear you managed to solve it. But yeah, no idea why they the devs did that....no fun for everybody who made liveries.

Dfficult to say w/o seing the default.lua ;-) All I had to change was {"uh1_weapon", 0, "uh1_weapon_blk.bmp", true}; to {"uh1_weapon", 0, "uh1_weapon_blk", true}; since they renamed this file. I don't know what's wrong with yours :(

I waited with the correction of my skins when they changed in the open beta...I thought they might change it back again for the stable version. Since they didn't, it's now time to correct the skins. Depends what textures you use from the original Huey and which one you changed/created yourself.

Yes, it feels like the devs said "how could we create some work to all the modders?" - "oh, let's change the texture names".

Yeah, it almost looked like some debug info ;-) Thank you ams999. I'll have a look at and I'll report back if the problem still persists.

Since the latest update in DCS OpenBeta (2.5.4), you get a message like "unknown" damage x% when you fire at targets. Is there a way to disable this? It feels quite arcade when I get messages how much percente something is damaged. I'm not sure if it only happens in MP or also in SP (only tested in MP).

Thanks for the link. I did not check the bug section.

I'm just wondering if this was intentional to change the file names for the weapon mounts? This is really quite strange to change something like this, because it will affect most custon liveries. With that said, most user liveries won't work anymore and you have to edit the description.lua change {"uh1_weapon", 0, "uh1_weapon_blk.bmp.dds", true}; to {"uh1_weapon", 0, "uh1_weapon_blk", true}; Any idea why the hell they changed the file name? That seems quite pointless to me and only creates works for all the modders. So before everybody will change his liveries, it would be interesting to know if they'll rename the file back with the next update again?

Thank you :-)

Well, short tracks with no time compression often work fine. Video are fine, but if other people would like to learn/adapt techniques, then the controls indicator would be helpful. It would be interesting to see how you handle the collective, cyclic and pedals. Nice flying btw.

Argo Campaign Mission 13 (cinematic):

Yeah, it would actually be nice to see a trk file instead of the plane time. This way others might improve their techniques if they can study the trk file.

Nice :-)

First fly direction of the carrier. Then you get a first message and the green smoker markers apper. To start, you need to fly under that first train-bridge (where you see the two green smoke markers). If you do that, you'll get a message where to start (following the river and start where the bridge crosses the river). There's no visible stop watch. You'll get the time at the end of the slalom.

Haha, ok...in that case, I'd really adjust it. In my very first attempt, I did a 1:57 which really was not fast. I'm not sure if I'm a reference, but like I said, I did times between 1:13 and 1:19. Shrakku even did 1:06. I don't know...maybe something between 1:20 and 1:25 is something that should be achievable by most? Or if you want it more challenging 1:15. If you want it frustrating: 1:05 ;-) Maybe it's best if you check what time you're doing. A trigger for another attempt wich "that was better" would be nice.

It's not misleading....it was motiviation to try again and again. However, if you always get the "you could be faster", no matter what time you set, then it would be misleading. I did not check the triggers in the ME yet, but I simply thought there might be a different message when you do e.g. a 1:00 or whatever.

Funny you mention the first part, Sharkku because the first thing I did was opening the Mission Editor and moving the ship closer to the carrier ;-) You didn't record that 1:06 (trk file)? I still can't quite see where I'm losing my time and what's the best technique to do it quick. My attempts were between 1:13 and 1:19. Does it still tell you "you're too slow" with 1:06?

I know, I'm a bit off-topic, but there's no dedicated thread for the "The Bridge Slalom Bet" which is also done by you. Just wondering what's a good time and what's the best approach for the slalom. I did a few attempts, but they were all between 1:13 and 1:19 which I was told is too slow. I tried "moderate" speed and cleaner turns as well as faster speed with hard turns - but I think you lose too much time doing so.

I could say the same about your voice-overs ;-)

Well, I thought it would be nice to create a cinematic video for this mission ;-) So there we go (be aware that there are spoilers if you didn't play the mission yet): Note: I changed date, start time, weather and livery for the video.
