We fly often at various times everyday, but our scheduled flights are 8pm eastern. We sent you a join message a couple of days ago.

Same.

I got it sorted. Up and and running again. cheers

Its all good. I'll get it up and running again.

I'm using ESET and have been years without any issues updating DCS. Unfortunately, I am now doing a complete reinstall. Let the frustration begin haha. cheers

Too many virus warnings. Had to shut anti-virus down but can't tell if it is updating. I see the waiting for operation to complete, but no status window.

The moose sound handler doesn't work in the South Atlantic theatre, but works in the other maps. Also, certain static object appear offline but not online in South Atlantic; for example the Range Control tower.

Anyone know the changes to get the personalized helmets working again with today's update?

Yes, great view. Should be easily selected through the "F" keys

Yes, I just tested an air escort mission in PG. I was building for our scheduled flight this Saturday and every late start enemy aircraft launches as soon as the mission starts. Some were set with triggers; such as unit enters a trigger zone active this group, while others were set based on mission time. Also, the B52H and B1-B bombers were set to start in the air at 28,000, yet they started at around 2,500, and 4 of the B52's flew into the ground. The remaining aircraft headed toward their waypoint but stayed at 2,500. Very frustrating after spending a few hours build a mission that is unusable. cheers, BD

We finally figured it out and got it working. This is what we used in the lau. We removed all the old BORT text to fix our skin issue, and added new stuff in the "green". Helmet stuff is bolded. livery = { {"f18c1", 0 ,"F18C_1_DIFF115_SBDGRY_BD",false}; {"f18c1", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"../VMFA-115 Common/F18C_1_DIFF_115L_CAMOROUGHMET",false}; {"f18c2", 0 ,"F18C_2_DIFF115_SBDGRY_BD",false}; {"f18c2", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"../VMFA-115 Common/F18C_2_DIFF_115L_CAMOROUGHMET",false}; --Stay / Covers {"f18c_stay", 0, "../VMFA-115 Common/F18C_1_DIFF_STAY_DIF", false}; {"f18c_stay", 1, "f18c_1_diff_stay_nm", true}; {"f18c_stay", 2, "f18c_1_diff_stay_dif_roughmet", true}; -- new code start {"f18c1_number_nose_right", 0 ,"F18C_1_DIFF_323L",false}; {"f18c1_number_nose_right", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_1_DIF_RoughMet",true}; {"f18c1_number_nose_right", DECAL ,"empty",true}; {"f18c1_number_nose_left", 0 ,"F18C_1_DIFF_323L",false}; {"f18c1_number_nose_left", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_1_DIF_RoughMet",true}; {"f18c1_number_nose_left", DECAL ,"empty",true}; {"f18c2_kil_right", 0 ,"F18C_2_DIFF_323L",false}; {"f18c2_kil_right", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_2_DIF_RoughMet",true}; {"f18c2_kil_right", DECAL ,"empty",true}; {"f18c2_kil_left", 0 ,"F18C_2_DIFF_323L",false}; {"f18c2_kil_left", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_2_DIF_RoughMet",true}; {"f18c2_kil_left", DECAL ,"empty",true}; {"f18c1_number_F", 0 ,"F18C_1_DIFF_323L",false}; {"f18c1_number_F", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_1_DIF_RoughMet",true}; {"f18c1_number_F", DECAL ,"empty",true}; {"f18c2_number_X", 0 ,"F18C_2_DIFF_323L",false}; {"f18c2_number_X", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"F18C_2_DIF_RoughMet",true}; {"f18c2_number_X", DECAL ,"empty",true}; {"pilot_F18_helmet_HGU68", DIFFUSE , "pilot_f18_helmet", false}; {"pilot_F18_helmet_HGU68", NORMAL_MAP , "pilot_f18_helmet_normal", false}; {"pilot_F18_helmet_HGU68", 13 , "pilot_F18_helmet_roughmet", false}; -- new code end {"FPU_8A", 0 ,"../VMFA-115 Common/FPU_8A_115",false}; {"FPU_8A", 1 ,"../VMFA-115 Common/FPU_8A_115_NM",false}; {"FPU_8A", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"../VMFA-115 Common/FPU_8A_115_CAMO_RM",false}; {"pilot_F18", 0 ,"../VMFA-115 Common/pilot_F18_CDN",false}; {"pilot_F18_patch", 0 ,"../VMFA-115 Common/pilot_F18_patch_CANADA",false}; {"pilot_F18_patch", 1 ,"../VMFA-115 Common/pilot_f18_patch_CANADA_nm",false}; {"pilot_F18_patch", ROUGHNESS_METALLIC ,"../VMFA-115 Common/pilot_f18_patch_CANADA_RM",false}; } name = "VMFA-115 Bonedust" countries = {"USA",} custom_args = { [27] = 0.0, -- Tail change of type of board number (0.0 -default USA, 0.1- ) [1000] = 0.0, -- Flaps [1001] = 0.0, -- Nose [1002] = 1, -- Kuwait Squadron [1003] = 1, -- Australian Squadron [1004] = 1, -- Finland Squadron [1005] = 1, -- Switzerland Squadron [1006] = 1, -- Blue Angels Jet Team }
