LOL Peter you are a star.. Yes sorry for the lack of explanation.. i had to run out and drop the kid at nursery... Yes i think you got all the assumptions correct... My cockpit camera (center viewport) is 1680x1050 and i have my MFCD/CDU/RWR etc on my 2nd monitor.. as you said the ingame screen capture only sees my center viewport. As you said / can see the overlay is in the correct position but the actual NVG 'focus' is centred on my combined resolution and not my center viewport hence being off the side of the screen. EDIT: regarding being slightly confused by the mod & its instructions: Its a great mod and would benefit form a new thread with the 1st post having the latest info on it. Having the info in the middle of the thread with updates in later posts is quite confusing. You end up having to read a lot more than is required just to make sure you are getting the latest version. The video shows copying and overwriting skins.. but this procedure seems to have slightly changed.. and is no longer copied to the skins folder. The Bazar folder to go into the DCS folder is inside another folder with no obvious explanation that it needs to be moved. (I'm familar enough with this stuff so this was ok.. but i can see that stumping folk) There is no explanation as to why you need a virtual drive, or why you need to run DCS INFO Win+i v.0.2.exe. Initially i didn't even understand why i need to run A-10-NVG Win+h v.0.2.exe. (even though this became obvious) There is also no real explaination as to what 3RVX is and is doing. (My security software flagged it download link as potentially unsafe, this did not help (Vipre)) I'm not that happy running things i don't understand.. i had faith in yourself.. but running three different exe for a mod without clear understanding why did have me questioning things. It's looking like a great mod.. and you done a lot of work, which is greatly appreciated.. and i'm only speaking frankly as a new person to this mod so you can appreciate some of the difficulties new people to the mod might have. Thanks Peter for all your hard work!! :thumbup:

Ok tried this out.. have to say found it a little confusing, with some of the instructions inaccurate or lacking explanation. I have a multimonitor setup, 2 x 22" at 1680x1050 giving a total res of 3360x1050. I assumed i needed to use the 1680x1050 skin, but this seems to be incorrect. As i was getting the NVG off the side of my screen. It would seem that there is no setups for people using spanned desktops like myself. Is this right? Could you be kind enough to add some explanation as what needs to be altered and or edited to allow people with custom setups to get this working. Thanks.

Nice work Peter. :) ^^ Very odd comment.

I understand, the logic makes sense, sounds like a good system, i just wanted to make sure i understood it. Thanks.

Sweet thanks mate. EDIT: Regarding task 1, 2 3 etc.. I didn't see any way to define tasks by number. If i make 5 tasks what makes a task, task 1 or task 2 etc.? This might be a dumb question... but as a mission maker this might be important to understand. Thanks.

I'm not sure if i'm being blind but where is the list / guide to the user input commands? For example in your video example you use something like '-stl' in the chat menu to Show Task List. So -stl is the command to do this.. where is this documented? is it editable? what other commands does the user have access to? Thanks for any help.

Thanks Speed, your efforts are much appreciated. I'll start working with this as soon as possible. (You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Speed again.)

bouncerj21 all the info you need should be on the 1st post of this thread. If there is a part of the guide you do not understand or similar please explain what bit you are struggling with.

No servers & can't connect via IP either.. this sucks.

Great stuff. Thank you very much. Rep for you sir.

Cheers.

you should really put them here.. \Eagle Dynamics\DCS A-10C\Bazar\Liveries\A-10C And have a look at this..http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1221006&postcount=8

As a curiosity... If your 97 has a HOF setting of 1800 and you end up trying to drop it from an alt of 1500 what happens?

There are numerous valid reasons why you might want to have AI wingmen in a MP mission. But that is not the point of this thread. Whilst i normally do not usually use AI wingmen they are a feature available to mission makers and a feature that worked fine in BS1. Sorry i simply do not agree.. and cannot find the section you are referring to. Below is the only section from the GUI manual i think you are referring to and it at no point says you should not have AI wingmen. If you can find the section please let me know. Page 207 In fact this implies AI wingmen are a feature. 'One client per group'..(the rest being AI)

No that's not right.. I've played with AI wingmen in MP in BS1 many times.

Is this a confirmed bug that needs addressing? I'd like to know with regards to mission building.. if AI wingmen are not working in MP in BS2 it would be nice to know if this is confirmed and being addressed. (Rather than myself doing something dumb) Thanks.

Sure.. Track Track2 Its gonna be approx. minute 3.. after a start-up from a ramp start. (edire: added a 2nd track as client)

Just tested as Host.. works.. wingmen take off. So it doesn't work as a client. :(

Cheers. I'll test the mission as Host, to see if that works for me too. If it does I'd say there is a bug for clients. (that old chestnut)

As client.. (I was testing the mission in SP when it worked, then got a friend to host and tested it as client.. this is when wingmen did not take off, tested with 3 different units on both sides.) I'll test it as host in MP as well.

Wingmen won't take off in MP. Just been testing a mission.. wingmen take off every time in single player, however the same units in multiplayer never take off. They also do not respond to any radio command, but do report contact with enemies (whist sat on the FARP).

DCS has only produced the Ka-50 & A-10c so of course people think DCS is set in a certain time frame. The world/environment DCS is set in is from the same period. (not to mention the plethora of aircraft from Lockon/FC/FC2 all from the same period) If DCS want to make a sim from a different period, great, would love it. Maybe a scifi would fit in with the current DCS model.. maybe an x-wing. :music_whistling:

Nothing like a good ol' ig-zaj-uh-rey-shuhn :)

Like others I'm struggling to 'get' this 'flying legend' concept. But happy that there are multiple projects on the go in parallel. If it was to be a WWII bird the only one i'd like to try is the Mosquito... but just can't see any such planes fitting in with the DCS world. Each to their own, choice is not a bad thing.....but it does sound like a someone pet project they decided to try and cash in on. ;)

Thanks.
