TIme to update the script with the Sidearm???

I have been thinking.... how to improve this script. To me, its a great tool, I use it a lot. But i always missed interaction with the JTACS... so far, we always work with bullseyes, etc.... but we never give terrain references. I have an idea.... I ll try to develop. IDEA: we can put some statics objects in the map via ME... a box, a car, or whatever, near a geografic terrain object, like river, lake, trees, whatever... or even to a specific building, or something that apears in the map. Then, via a script like... jtacreference("nameofobject", "name of the terrain object") we will introduce a list of terrain references, and they will be used as reference while sending the mesage to pilots So if you put a Tree static object to use as point reference, close to a church you will write: jtacreference("tree1","Northern Townville Church") so the JTAC, will tell you when you ask for information... 10 enemies with ZSU23mm, trucks, infantry: at 500m North east from the "Norther Townville Church" This will give you visual reference from the terrain... and whether you see them or not... just aim there, and shoot... this should not be difficult. But should be VERY very funny to have it via radio menu. So you can put as many references as you want... and the JTAC will get the closer point reference to the enemy. What do you think guys? would not be awesome this type of intereaction with the JTACS?

yes, fictional but....

Transport is awesome, navigation etc. But if you just put a couple of triggers to random few enemy infantry groups, transport missions becomes, uppest level. Delivering troops in a hot LZ, not to mention delivering a sling load while the bullets cracks your plexiglass.... Night commando insertioNS in Normandia at night.... where navigation is very difficult....lots of missions you can make. BUT, if you are in a Squadron, with other Attack helicopters, CAS aircrafts or CAP.... the rol of helicopters is very very enjoable. But of course, some people might dont like. Take into account, that full models of russian aircrafts IS FORBIDDEN. So forget about SUs, Migs, etc... for the moment. Only russian aircrafts that are not in service anymore. Mig 23, and may be Mig29A. To me its a pitty, I like big choppers and small fast figthers.. but to tell the truth, I think i have spent more time with Helos. So.... CH53, you are very welcome!

Me too...

Try northern airports

Are you doing instant flight? Kuan si area is very bad. Go to sochi... and see if it is better.

lots of guesswork here... but I read a lot of books, and some tech info to reach some point of playability. I made this script for EW purposes... i strongly recommend to use it vs IADS from Grimes... you can put lots of SAMs... playing against you... and your team, but you have the standoff jamming, corridors, and defensive noise jamming. Just a script with good intentions, but nothing realistic here... again just guesswork.

good question...

YEAHHh!

I tHink, the zone is in the position related to the aircraft not centered. So if you create a zone in the the east will be in the eastt.... independently of your heading. To be in the center, you should create the zone in the center of the unit. But I could be wrong... that is how I interpreted it.

Fixed. My mistake, I was using another script that modified some ctld functions. Just reverting the loading order.

ANyone has anyproblem with DCS 2.0?? its strange... I can use my .lua file in 1.5 and in the 2.1 I cannot. Really weird.

Try this ctld.laseUnit(Unit.getByName(enemyname),Unit.getByName( _jtacunit), "_jtacgroup",lasercode) Removed tostring... since I took it from a script I have.

There is an error in line 7... can you post all your script, or better send your mission. Please. I have a script called Have a look at this script. I used this command. https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=162709&page=2

Call the silka group "extract1"

ctld.laseUnit(Unit.getByName(enemyname),Unit.getByName( _jtacunit), "jtacgroup", lasercode) Try this

you ll run out of ammo quite fast... I did not do it but I had an Idea... thorugh event handler... or something. When they start firing... after 10 secs, they stop firing (and the opponents too). after 30 secs... you activate them again... and so.. I may be give a try.

Does it protect onliy the ECM pod Carrier, or also any aircraft close to the ECM pod aircraft carrier?? THis is very important for multi aircraft missions. I did a "jamming script" for stand off jammers, ECM pods, and chaff corridores... it works really nice, and does what intended, not realsitic, but gives you some "EW" enviroment. Can anybody help me please? The question. ECM pods protects tthe carrier or any aircraft close to the carrier too?

This is great. Let me ask you. This can control the number of units moving aorund?. I am scared to overload the C P and create lag.

Good answer!!

Well, I ment, its kind of B modrl without radar, or she has??? at least, through the book, the missions they do, we can do them here to. That is what I meant, but i am probabky wrong saying "our"

I read 3 out of the 4 recomendations. Joint Force harrier is "our " harrier, and very good for thinking how to use it in DCS. Its a pitty we dont have an A-A radar for AA CAPs, however... the type of Radar used in falknads, was not very good, so... with proper GCI from the ships, we could consider a "falklands" type of campagin. I ll do!!! haha. To me the very best is the sea harriers over falklands. MUST READ. No question about that. I also recommend https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51l12pTRHSL._SX324_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg (similar to the Sharkey's book, but another point of view)

Hello Chromium. How is the project going... is it 2.0 Compatible already?? I have been disconected few months... and I want to restart with my squadron by doing a campaign.

Belive me... if you finnally got into the task, you will have many many customers. (me included). BUT, now a question. Do you wasnt to be a third party?? or just a "mod" to fly something with a nice 3D helicopter?? There are lots of CSAR missions in the squadrons... I ll follow your work! and I hope the best!
