Yes you are correct in the fact that the IFF msut be turned on in the m2k, I was responding to mirknirs question about other aircraft requiring their IFF to be on in order for it to interrogate properly, which is not how it work in DCS i believe. RW if your aircaft does NOT have an IFF you wont be distinguished friendly by another aircraft with IFF no matter what. Its kind of like two-way radio communication. In DCS however everyone on the same side is automatically friendly to all other players on the same side regardless if they have a working IFF or not...if that makes sense...

I dont believe any aircraft has IFF modeled to the point of it requiring to be on to appear as friendly or enemy. I do know there is/was a really strange repeatable bug with m2k IFF (not sure if it was fixed in the latest patch it may have been) but there was some glitch that if u switched to 530 then CCM then 530 again (or some combination of that i cant recall as i have not had it happen to me in quite a while) the IFF would not interrogate any aircraft as a friendly. The easiest way to see if you IFF is working without having to look down at the switch in the heat of combat is just mashh the IFF button then look for the dashed ARC that appears on your radar scope showing the interrogation check. If you dont see a dashed line then your IFF is not on. Also be careful flying around in CCM without being on coms as its very tempting to just get the autolock and fire in a merge without announcing a raygun, I have taken down a wingman a time or two with that bad practice lol

Cosmic you cant post stories if you dont play anymore! I dont even know who you are you have disappeared into the darkness make me so sad:cry::cry::cry: Anyway, while cosmic has been ignoring his fellow veteran family I have some scrrenies to fill the void. Some are a little older as i take screens to post them but end up having too much fun and wind up still being on OC when "the general" comes home have to leave in a hurry. Most days start out with the warm morning rituals of escorting Bert in his A10, which then turns into him escorting me with his A10... Others are filled with rotor fury raining down death and destruction to communist pigs at various objectives across the map. And yes the F5 is still getting some love, taking advantage of the modern fighters with its agile maneuverable self.

Can i ask what ground textures you are using? looks like exciting stuff! Cant wait to plant explosives packs around those factories

dang password protected! :)

How about your horizontal/lateral speed? It has to be pretty darn close to 0.

:banned: lol niceeeeee Cosmic just change ur game to THE HAMMER:bash: Always good to have someone protecting the safe zones from trolls tho :thumbup:

F16AI :mad: Nothing more infuriating then having a 2 hour ka50 flight and in the midst of RTB from Sam base at 5'AGL in a mountain valley I get 120Cd by the AI. Not to mention he was being chased by F15 that shot him down moments before I died "target priority" for the win! Stuff like that makes me rage quit hard

By default the radio is off, you need to turn it on. The tiny rotary knob in VHF panel. Chanel 1 is AWACS Chanel 2 is tanker (shell) You can also manually tune to other airfields by looking up their freq in the f10 map then tuning that radio. Make sure if you are not using presets you select manual mode for using manual frequency selection

He actually already does in skynet when you type up the objective your looking for.

Do a viggen road landing near the target area re set t your altimeter and now you have QFE Or Mirknir can set non dynamic weather and you can get QNH at your departure airport then calculate your QFE for the whole map The major reason I think the viggen is over hyped for DCS is because it's not that practical, it relies entirely on pre planned coordinates done on the ground well before jumping into the cockpit. Makes it difficult for the ever changing revolving open world of DCS online multiplayer

I think medic helos should not be invisible to AWACS, this is a sim after all. however I think their should a repurcussion to shooting one down. Especially with missles, like insta-spectator mode lol. If helicopters can't get shot down then might as well play single player or in the virtual aerobatics server. If their was a way to force or encourage aerial gunnery on helicopters instead that would be a better solution. Missle on a helo should call out the players name in skynet make visible to everyone and say the enemy has spawned 4 F16s now because of you. Or something along those lines :D

I think for every weather complaint the visibility and ceiling should be lowered 1000 FT! lol

I'm in no rush for the new patch! I went to open beta for 1 day and it borked a lot of my DCS. Went back to stable as fast as I could! Viggen is cool and all, but it's definitely a BETA. Like early early BETA

and by "short" i mean like 1.5nm, he doesnt even get close. always about halfway

Hey guys, as the title says im pulling my hair out as i cant get my speed boat that gets activated by trigger to follow his waypoints to the beach. They always stop short! Any ideas what im missing? Even when i just put a random boat on the water with no activation and way points he stops short of the beach so its not my trigger causing it i dont think?:helpsmilie:

Great thanks for the info guys. I will continue to poke around the user file section for some more fun stuff. "Another issue with most single player chopper mission, is the wing-man more than likely has nothing programmed to do, such as pick up passengers and drop off, etc." Yeah this is my biggest concern as well. Maybe someday some awesome campaign maker will put together an entire coop campaign for helos :)

Basically in short is it possible to run a single player campaign coop with another human in MP? I understand i can load the missions individually into a MP server but (correct me if I'm wrong) all campaigns are based on a single human pilot right? Im specifically interested in running the helicopter campaigns with another friend (mi8)

Yes. As I consistently find out the hard way every time I get a prompt to update. Actually the 1.5.6 beta patch is such a hit on perf I'm contemplating reverting back to 1.5.5 to play OC. Never update unless Mirknir posts here that he has updated server (if u want to pay OC that is) no big deal tho, OC is ONLY the BEST server DCS has ever seen

Ok thanks must have missed it

First off wow great module LN! However like most I too am suffering from low FPS in this aircraft. Even the most demanding aircraft run at a solid 60 (limited) FPS. My thought is the mirrors may still have something to do with it. In the F5 for example when I flip the mirrors down I lost about 25-30% of my FPS no matter what. As soon as I flip them away (not rendering anything) instant peg out with the FPS. I've noticed this in most of all my modules. So I've learned to play with out them. I disabled in master menu. However I've noticed with the Viggen, even with mirrors disabled in master menu they are still reflecting half the sky behind my aircraft and a very blurry ground image. I'm wondering if it would me possible to have them not render anything or make them just "go away" via a click command. Maybe this is possibly hurting some PCs ? Just a thought. Overall very impressed!

Same problem here^

So for me huey is life, but I just bought the mi8 and cant stop flying it. I love the complexity i love the flight model and most of all i love how she packs a real PUNCH! I will be reading the manual cover to cover these next few days but I was wondering if i could maybe get a simple question answered here first regarding the apu.. Is it possible to use the APU as a replacement for a loss of generators? If not both how about 1? I was playing around the the inverters and stby power/AC load etc but I can not seem to get the APU to solely power the airplane, is this due to the fact thats its only/main function is for starting the turbines? Thanks! Looking forward to learning about every nickle and dime this helo has to offer

Freedom units all the way! Russian smushin:smilewink:

Looks like great stuff, away from my DCS computer this week but I will be downloading. Quick question, does the checklist include any depression tables for bombs?
