  7. Yes, great view. Should be easily selected through the "F" keys
  8. 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

  10. 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".

  12. What theatre are you using. Try running it in another theatre because we've had some triggers work in one theatre but not another. We add an issue last night with a trigger set to launch MiG-29 jets not working. The jets launched at mission start in Caucasus, yet the same trigger worked in PG. Sometimes triggers will work online but not off line or vice versa.
  13. Thanks for the reply. I assumed it was something like that so started to map them; great fun
  14. Has the load profiles ever worked? I bought a new system and saved my profiles, yet none of them load into DCS, so what is the point of the save and load options? Is there some magical trick to it?
  15. DCS in-game radio. Add MIDS, and add the option to have separate radios heard on either left or right ear ie: F18 Comm 1 left ear, Comm 2 right ear. cheers

  17. Recruiting is closed until we graduate the current new guys. Thanks
  18. I agree. I'd rather have a completed template, then one that isn't ready for release. A time line would be nice though.
  19. Would be great to have the template.
  20. Thanks for the replies...appreciate it.
  21. I may be missing something, but does MIDS not work with voice chat?
