Thanks : )

Whatever the default livery for these training missions is has a bug where the livery changes as you zoom closer to the aircraft in external views... https://imgur.com/UoDKv0e https://imgur.com/y4iSooq

Thanks for that info Yurgon, I always wondered how to set up the aircraft pre mission. Is this also where we can define channel presets for the radios etc?

Where did you hear about this? I thought the graphics update was all they were going to do with the A-10C. What are you guys hoping will be added?

so if I managed to find an old backup of a 2017 installer could I use my current legit student license to activate it even tho its an old version?

I have only recently set up head-tracking so I was using similar mouse settings to you Jonni for years. Although I recommend head-tracking for flight if I am just testing things from the mission editor or just doing ground systems training I don't always set up my headtracker. Also sometimes it is on charge as its wireless and it also requires I wear my headset which is not always desirable. So good mouse settings make a good fall back. What I did was use external mouse software X-Mouse from http://www.highrez.co.uk in my case. Ideally you need a gaming mouse for the extra buttons. I set it up so that on pressing Mouse 4 it sends Alt+C to DCS and then again when releasing. I used mouse 5 (which is next to 4 on the thumb and easy to press both) to transpose. Also you can use DCS Axis settings on the mouse (I only found this out recently) to smooth out your camera movements without slowing down the clickable mouse movement. Adjust the Y saturation and curvature to get nicer movement there for both internal and external.

I have been looking at how to do this today by editing the files in Notepad++ before I found this thread. I was toying with the idea of creating an external program to do this. Glad to see you have not only done this already but integrated it into DCS ME. Nice work! : ) On a side note my tinkering with notepad++ was a success, I managed to convert all the Russian units that the generator created into Iranian which made more sense in the Persian Gulf.

@ErCoupe Thanks for the reminder! I saw this back in May but forgot about it. Glad to see its now flyable. : )

Thank you @Darcwaynard, this was also bothering me. Such a simple fix to disable them in Module Manager. Silly me. : ) I wanted to keep them installed for purchase later, I hope this doesn't remove the files. Can anyone confirm?

Hi folks, Is Max 2016 still the best way to go for DCS? Also is 2017 still the latest version that works? I have a student license for 2018 and 2020 and its too late for me to pick up a legit 2016/2017 version :cry:

Thanks Megalax, setting them all to false got me a step closer. But there was a missing texture where the number should have been. After a bit of trial and error I ended up with: livery = { {"CH-47_01", 0, "ch-47_green rsaf", false}, {"CH-47 Numbers_W", 1, "ch-47 numbers_w", true}, {"CH-47_Numbers_B UK", 1, "ch-47 numbers_b uk", true}, } name = "CH-47_Green RSAF" countries = { "UK", } Which worked, so now I can start work on the skin (and hopefully others) without worrying about not getting it in game after. :thumbup:

All of them? I will try that but what do they mean then and why are they 'true' for the other CH-47 skins?

Model Viewer doesn't pick it up at all but in game I can select the livery however it shows the blocky green 'missing texture' all over the model. description.lua and textures installed at: C:\Users\****\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Liveries\ch-47d\ch-47_green rsaf I used the latest .dds exporter from Nvidia for Photoshop 2020 and saved out as bca1 if that makes any difference. Also I noticed a lot of inconsistency with capitalisation in the official ED files so I am assuming it is not case sensitive. Is that right? : ) Thanks for any support.

Thanks Rudel, tbh I was not confident at all about where to post this. I did have a look around but ended up here.

Can anyone see an obvious mistake here?

Where are the positions of the numbers described, is that embedded in the .edm files?

Thanks for sharing that Shredder. I believe this thread might be just what I have been looking for to help me create some kind of haptic feedback device for DCS. I have been been looking everywhere for some way to read info about FF(vibration only) or induce that vibration with lua but I now realise I missed a trick there. Instead I can get data from the aircraft's current state (thanks to [FSF]Ian) and with your code as a guide drive whatever H/W I decide to use. I am new to all this but excited at all the possibilities!

Ah thanks, that explains a lot. This helped me find the problem. It seems the default #29 and #30 were set to finger lift left and right. No wonder I was so confused about why the throttles seemed to be doing 'something' but no engine start without the kb. I will have to figure out what these finger lifts are for later - I just had a look at some other posts and they seem confusing. One step at a time tho. lol. Now I wonder if I can actually take off... Of course I will do the training later. Just wanted to have a play around first. :) Thanks again. :)

Hey all, I just got this module after years of sporadically messing around in the A10-C and was wondering why I need to press keys in order to start the left and right engines (same for the A10-C). What is the real life way to achieve this? I decided to dive into the F/A-18c without any training yesterday to see how far I could get from a cold start by winging it. I spent about an hour messing with various switches for how to actually start the left engine. I found the battery, the apu and after a rocky start the ground electric power was working. I also had fun seeing what could be done with no power at all such as canopy jettison and ejecting which gave me a nice view of the Stennis. Then I found the left engine crank although I am not sure if I was supposed to turn it on it sounded like the engine was firing up but it didn't really. In the end I realised that on the A-10c I have been using kb commands for left and right engine start (RALT+Home etc...) . So I found the appropriate key combo. So considering I have the TMHW shouldn't I be able to do everything the pilot needs to do without using the keyboard at all? Just using the HOTAS and the mouse to click stuff. Thanks for any advice. :) ~Stevo

Will the Max plugin ever be updated to new versions? I have legit 2018 and 2020 licenses. Its not even possible to get 2016 legitimately anymore. EDIT: Apparently I also have access to 2017 under the 2018 license. Does the plugin version work on that? Don't want to bother downloading it if not. ~Stevo

Is there a list of these descriptors 'LEFT_MFCD' etc? Or is that all of them? LEFT, RIGHT, RWR and CDU? Would be cool if there was 'EXTERNAL_CAMERA' or 'SNAP_VIEW_1' would be great as you could have working MFCD's on a second monitor without extra hardware.

Thanks for this If you are still around I wanted to say thanks, I am practicing night flying with this mission and your version seems to be working fine in OpenBeta 2.5 :thumbup: One issue I have is that I am equipped with 2xAGM65-H which seem useless at night, I have tried the force correlate method but not having any luck. You mentioned you have fixed other missions, I am interested in these if you still have them available. My usual training mission is the Shooting Gallery but it is almost impossible to see some of the targets in 2.5 thanks to the new trees everywhere. The T-55 group is hidden and there is a group of trucks for example that are effortlessly speeding through a dense woodland.

Thank you for your help. : )

здравствуйте все, This is my first post although I have been using DCS World (single player for a few years). My first sim was Black Shark (followed by an upgrade to BS2 which I got before DCS World. Since I have a great interest in languages including Russian I decided from the get go that I would use a Russian cockpit etc and have done since. What I would like tho is for the subtitles in game such as the ATC to be written in Cyrillic but I only have a folder "en" at C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\l10n I want to get hold of the folder "ru" so I can swap it out. There doesn't seem to be anywhere to download localisation files separate from the main DCS installer. Alternatively has anyone got that folder "ru" that they can zip up and send me? Since DCS World is free I assume this is not a legal issue? Thanks for any help! Stevo. :)
