Hey back in the day I used to screen print my own lol Yea that probably breach some copyright laws I'm sure. I actually think there would be enough interest to validate having a little DCS online shop. I think it would very cool and like I said, I would buy stuff and knowing it's going back into something I really enjoy makes it even more worthwhile. Hey we have a World wide base you know but it'll probably never happen *sigh*

I would love a DCS Hornet T-Shirt! Yep and throw in a DCS coffee mug while your at it. Some years back I managed to get hold of a DCS A-10C Warthog T- Shirt and I still got it, albeit somewhat faded but it's still very cool. Anyways, I like to see some DCS paraphernalia, like Ts with different choice of Aircraft and other different stuff too. Hell ide even wear a pair of DCS boxers! Well, that's my wish. Peace, out G :)

That would be great, I’m for it :thumbup:

Thanks for your awesome input Gierasimov. I do understand ED are stretched at times and can only spread themselves so thin in regards to resources for addressing these problems. Actually, I’m kinda grateful for what I’ve got but then again I’m hoping in time both these things will be working for us. Hey but last night I had some beautiful success with my Patrol. I had 6 targets for him to Lase, 2 were in one group and 4 individual. He identified all perfectly and my 9 line read back was replied to correctly as well but something weird happened and it happens quite a lot. The SA11 was first on my hit list and that was identified and awesome 9 line by my Patrol read back right up to the hit and afterwards and then I took out 2 MBT in one group and that went perfect with him as well but then came APC fourth target and after I state “Any remarks”? He skips the weapon I’m supposed to use and just goes straight to the lines which end in “Report IP Inbound”. It’s very strange as I have plenty of munition to use and then after I take that out and have one target left he states “Use guns” even though I have a CBU on board, it’s all pretty weird. At least after all units destroyed he does say “No further tasking available, good job, you may depart”. So it’s not completely broken, just some lose ends that need tidying I guess and I also discovered there’s a work around if he gets stuck. You just say “ Checking out” and then re engage the 9 line with him and it seems to work. And thanks for that refueling lua script tip, lua files are not one of my strong points but I’ll give it a shot. Thanks again man, appreciate it. G :thumbup:

Ummm okaaaay :noexpression:

Hey all good folks there, I know this has already been brought up but I sure would like if the awesome DCS fixer-uppers would seriously take a good look at JTAC in the ME. It seems every mission I create with JTAC that involves more than a few groups of units or let’s say a unit moves after an attack that’s actually not even being Lased by my Patrol is when I get problems with my Patrol not relaying the correct responses to me or not even replying at all but that’s only one example. I know I shouldn’t complain but it does get annoying when you spend a lot of time building these missions and your let down by something that’s out of your control. The second thing I would like is a trigger in the ME that provides for, well a pat on the back if you like for a successful Air to Air Refuel as I’ve just discovered and kinda mastered it finally after a week or two of many tries. I’m really enjoying this feature and incorporating it within my missions but I can’t seem to get a trigger in the ME that would acknowledge a successful Air refuel. Would be really cool to be able to have a result like that, whether or not triggered by the response of “Refuel Complete” or maybe just by the difference in your fuel tank, I’m not sure or maybe there’s a work-around for it that I haven’t noticed. Anyway, that’s what I wouldn’t mind having atm. Overall though.. I love DCS :)

Problem solved and now I know why I was getting hits on tgt at lower alts as I completely forgot to set WP tgt alt to 0 thus it's min. I just noticed my WP 1 tgt was at like 16000 geez. Clutz me forgot all about it. Man oh man lol Thanks all for pitching in, I very much appreciate it. :doh:

Spot on there, I completely forgot to set my WP Tgt to 0 thus it setting to its minimum alt, I feel like such a goose lol Thanks again, appreciate your input. wow man lol :doh:

Thanks Ramsay, appreciate that mate. I've had some success since my last posts and I'll post URL for vid clip here very soon so you can see what happened. I very much appreciate your input and replicating this, that's very cool. Thank you

Wow! Now there's a thought, I will check and I've had some success since my last posting of this issue. Thanks kindly

Hey BIGNEWY thanks mate. I been at this thing for most of today now with a number of different results and finally yes finally I got %100 hits with 4 out of 4 GBU12 hits on targets. And I've only tried one map Caucuses in Winter 18:00 clear sky no wind and was just about to try in Nevada and PG but decided to pop in here first. I found that the higher my elevation was say between 18 and 25000 the missus happened more often and the lower I was say around 12000 - 16000 my hit success rate improved and was actually became perfect. I have recorded footage of failed attempts and success hits and will post in my YT ch so you can have a look there perhaps. I will add the URL soon as I encode and upload. It was a little frustrating not knowing why as I kept thinking something in the ME wasn't set right or something in my Pit I was doing wrong and I had one good hit then kept narrowing it down until I think I found the alt was the problem but I'm still not totally sure. I will all the use same settings for the other two maps and Patrol unit and see what happens and I'm also wondering if the Winter conds made any difference but I don't think so and I'm not totally sold on this elevation thing either as GBU12 should have no worries from 25000 ( I remember my ole A-10C days ) but like I said it was missing it's mark in that map from those altitudes. Thanks again, appreciated

1688 correct code

Thank you for your input mu110 but if this is the case then my MAV would not have had perfect hits using the same Patrol and settings.

SP for me mainly, I just like creating and doin my own thing. Although I have tried flying with a friend and it was cool, I liked it.

Thanks Harker, all my read back and replies to JTAC are perfect. "Laser On" is exactly what I say otherwise there is no reply. I used AGM65E in a previous run with the Patrol and got perfect hits every time using JTAC engagement with 9 line.

Thank you for your input MasterZelgadis. I have tried from many different approaches and still I get the same result. I used to use this exact same set up in relation to alt, speed, bomb type, JTAC unit settings.. everything and I got perfect hits every time but that was at least about 6 or 7 updates ago. So this is why I would like someone to do a GBU12 run with Patrol on the ground lasing the target. Hey I have a friend here that can't even get JTAC to respond to them. I think there's legitimate problems concerning JTAC here within the ME in DCS and I hope it gets looked into soon. Thanks again man.

Thanks Ramsay, appreciate that. I will try and post a track file but that's not going to be easy since the allowed posting file size may not be enough to show the problem. And only a min or so elapses after being advised of Tgt being lased up until when I release my bomb.

Hey thanks for your input Tom, the mission starts at 18:00 so it's like dusk. The image I provided looks a bit darker than it actually is and I'll try changing the Patrol unit and doing a morning run and see if that works. Thanks

Hey good folks. I'm having trouble with this issue concerning Patrol lasing my Tgt. He goes through all the correct 9 line spiel and read back and right up to the final "Cleared Hot" call but my GBU12 does not arc in it's fall line towards Tgt and misses completely by at least 100 -200 mtrs. I've replicated the mission in two different maps with exact settings and conds and still GBU12 missus by a long shot. I checked that all my weapon settings are correct and the Tgt desig is selected and my WP is directly over the Tgt. It's frustrating as I have used the exact same settings in the past and settings in regards to JTAC set up prior to previous DCS updates and had no trouble at all but now phhftt nada. If any one can replicate this and see if they are experiencing the same and report back I would be very grateful. Caucuses or Nevada Map , no wind, elev 15000 - 18000 ft , BRU33 2 x GBU12 only , enemy 2 X MBTS 1 group. Regards Gary

True but also.. Very true Eddie, Also have a look at base of these buildings. Just square or rectangle blocks with perfect angles as if someone just fitted them like Lego bricks. Hey, at least put some weeds or grass growing around the base of these structures to give them a more realistic feel. Just saying.

No VA after update Thanks big time for the input and help Giero buddy, I will try these steps with everything crossed. Cheers Gaz :thumbup:

VA troubles after latest update Thanks a bunch Harker. Funny thing is I ran the same mission heaps of times with VA/VP with no issues at all, same units , not changing anything in DCS settings or in ME and soon as I started VA after the Update. The DCS radio menu gets stuck on screen and as I mentioned in my initial whine, there’s no AC in my VP PTT screen config box thingy. Anyway, I’m totally bummed man as I was having so much fun tweaking and thinking up scenarios in new missions I want to create but since the update yesterday it’s all gone to poop. The only thing I did differently was plug in a ext USB mic which I just got, just to try it out so as I’m not wearing headset all the time and that’s when I noticed my VA not working correctly. I then unplugged it but still VA not firing in DCS. The VA box is working and recognising my words but my AC is not visible in that PTT box as screen shot showed. I don’t know what to try next. Thanks mighty for your input and advise Harker, I do appreciate it. Gaz :thumbup:

VA not working after latest update Thanks for your input Svsmokey, yea doesn’t make any difference if you have Easy Comms off or On. Appreciate :thumbup:

Hi all, I was very much enjoying my Voice Attack/Viacom Pro in DCS until I updated to vers. 2.5.4.30386. Before I hit the sack last night all was working fine with my VA as it has been perfectly the last week or so. I updated then hit the hay and when I woke to check today, my Hornet is not being displayed in config box as it normally should and VA is not functioning. I'm not sure what to do now and wondering if there is anyway to restore to previous DCS vers. And also wondering if anyone else out there is having trouble with their VA atm after this latest update? The shot I submitted is supposed to show FA-18C HORNET in the green screen in the config box. Annoyed G :(

Get well soon Hey there, seems to me you've had that Bug for a while now mate and I don't mean the 18C either. Hope you come good soon Wags. Cheers G :thumbup:
