I can place trains on the mission editor, they then disappear when I load the mission. Has DCS gone this far with trains still in this condition?

I have the basic trigger system down for mission editor. What I have been trying to do is set up a system that randomly spawns aircraft. My goal is to fly around searching for ground targets while enemy aircraft randomly spawn to attack me. Maybe one will spawn and another will spawn right after and I need to deal with two air craft at once. Or, after I shoot an aircraft another will not spawn for some time. I have been trying to create multiple trigger zones that randomly assign flag values from 1-10 each time my plane flies into one. Then I assign three enemy plan groups (enemy group 1 spawns when flag equals 1... enemy group two spawns when flag equals two etc.... Flags from 4-10 spawn nothing). Sounds like it should work but it does not. Any suggestions? Sometimes only one group will spawn regardless of how many trigger zones I make and fly into (one time I made 20 trigger zones!!) and other times none will spawn.

Copied both files (lua and dlg), installed both into saved game folders. It worked until I changed the font size in the LUA file. Since I did that it wont work AT ALL... I have since deleted the files, copied and pasted fresh ones literally a dozen times now, tried it on DCS Beta, used notepad ++, repaired DCS, reinstalled DCS, and it still does not work... I find it strange how it was working just fine until I opened the one file (deleted and replaced by original file multiple times now) just to change the font size setting. I suspect that Windows is somehow to blame for this, probably not reading the extensions properly since opening them or something. However, I even made sure that lua and dlg files are opened from notepad by default. I am very confused on what is going on here, have been racking my brain for hours now. Is there something wrong with the registry or something??? Do I need a clean install of windows!!!!

This option is not available in all scenarios... When it is available you have to start from the beginning inputting 9 line coordinates because your radio erases what you have scratched in when it pops up on the UFC... as I already said at the beginning of this thread...

Thanks!!!!

Are there any in game scratch pad mods or anything???

I use a VR headset so I cant really write anything down while playing. That being said, is there anyway to slow down JTAC coordinates so that I can actually input them? I have to input from the start each time I ask for clarification.

YUP

F/A-18C Aggressors BFM Campaign I purchased this campaign and am noticing MAJOR hit in FPS when I play it in VR. When I play other campaigns I do not notice this hit. Not too sure if this is normal or if we need an update or what... Also, where are the PDF manuals for this campaign located? I checked in the usual folder but it is not there.

YUUUUP!!!!

Can someone please review this video and give some insight on why I dont have a TACAN beacon on my HSI or distance on my HUD. I am only missing this information when I select TACAN on a carrier. The video below has no sound, but I can hear the Morse Code from the TACAN beacon. As you can see, I select TCN on the HSI and no information displays, nor can I select a course line.

I uploaded it again... Should be public now

I got the signal, just no TACAN beacon or heading selection on my HSI.

Video!! Here is a video of my problem as described. There is no audio but I do hear the TCN beacon when I turn on the TCN volume. When I select a TCN at an airfield I do not have this problem. I only have this problem with carriers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKetnz67HvY&feature=youtu.be

Any reason why I can no longer get aircraft carrier TCN to show on my MFCD and HUD? I can get the Morse Code but nothing far as range or bearing.

I have watched MANY youtube tutorials regarding laser guided bombs and cant seem to get it to work. I am quite familiar with the F18 thus far and even the A10C so I am not a complete newb... Long story short, I get everything all lined up and my GBU 12 is always x out and nothing drops. I even get a countdown and nothing drops. I am using the targeting pod to assign a target and depress the TDC to transfer over coordinates to pre-selected bomb. Yes, I have assigned the laser code and depress the trigger to activate it. Yes I set the fuse as well and make sure AG is selected as well as master arm is on. No matter what I do I always have an x drawn through CCIP or MAN mode on the HUD with DUD written above it and nothing releases. I am not using the Beta version of DCS world either.

Nevermind... I realized the problem is my crappy OC job...

Using an Oculus Rift S, lowest graphics settings I get an average of 35 FPS and my GPU usage is only at 40%. I notice that when I ramp the settings up, my FPS stays the same but my GPU increases to about 80%. Seems like FPS is capped at 35 to 40 no matter what I do. GTX 1070 i5 9600K 32 GB DDR 4 Any suggestions?

How do you get this Russian SAM site to shoot an an airplane? I have it paired with CP 64k6, SR 5N66M, CC 95470M1, TR 30N6, and P-19. I place an American F18 to circle above and nothing happens for over 10 minutes. Should I inform Putin these guys are sleeping on the job?

Everything should be in place

Usually when I activate TACAN for CVN John Stennis the marker shows up on my MFCD. Recently, I noticed that it is not showing on my MFCD but I know I am connected because my morse code beeper is beeping away the call sign. I select the TACAN in the MFCD display so that it will display info on the HUD. When I do this all I see on the HUD is a U with a line under it. There is no distance indicator etc. What am I missing here?

Carrier lights don't turn on for me in the F18 when I request landing.

Not to get too technical but does your trim adjust to the given thrust in order to maintain a specific AOA (middle of the E bracket) ? Is this why we can change thrust but the AOA stays the same? Still this seems counter intuitive given the range of pitch the aircraft can take and still maintain the same AOA. That video is excellent BTW. Lex, I did join your Discord page... Thanks!!!

Thanks for the information and the replies. Not to muddy the waters even more but what is the E bracket representing? Is it AOA, Pitch, descent rate, or a combination of these???

I don't see why people are so against paying for quality training. If I could get training from a person who REALLY knew about aerobatics, avionics, and dog fighting techniques I would be willing to pay. Just as one would pay a guitar instructor, why not pay a flight instructor? I think the people who are against this may be a bit intimidated, assuming that someone out there really does know a great deal about these things. However, I really doubt an actual f18 instructor would really take the time and give lessons on DCS though. More likely some guy living in his moms basement claiming to know something is the one giving instructions. Again, I would gladly pay for a real instructor though.
