I recently started using the B-29 mod, and I'm having an issue that I don't know how to approach. I'm not familiar at all with the structure of how the DCS mods are put together, so I am not sure if this is something that can be easily edited or not. A group I fly with has been experimenting with some Korean War events in DCS, and we were thinking of using the B-29 mod to use as central objectives for missions. The problem we are having with the mod is it seems that when engaged, the B-29 AI thinks that it is a fighter, and wants to dogfight. For what we are trying to use it for, this would totally defeat the purpose of having the bombers at all. And on the other hand, it would be nice to not just have lobotomized targets that don't react to gunfire at all and are just waiting to be shot down. How are the AI behaviors are assigned to specific aircraft, specifically in the case for mods? Is there a way to tell the AI pilot to behave like a B-17, or a B-52 AI? I took some time and looked through the .lua files in the mod folder, but didn't find anything super obvious. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

I currently have Windows 10, and I have it in American English. I also just installed a new m.2 SSD, and am going to be moving things around in the next couple of days. So I was planning on reinstalling CTS completely fresh and giving it another go. I'll let you know if anything changes.

@Kisi Thank you so much for posting your script, I think I've spotted the problem. I have a feeling that my DCS_World.tmc is being written in an odd way, for some unknown reason. What I found was that after the header, Kisi's script starts to fill in the script baseline, hardware config, etc. The beginning of this in Kisi's script is the first screenshot. In this part of my script, it is completely empty (screenshot 2). There is nothing here, but you can see where everything is meant to be. Kisi's script then ends with the event handler, which is the same in my code. However, after the event handler, I found all of the data that was supposed to be in the sections above! This is screenshot 3, and it starts to go through my hardware config choices. I checked it through a bit and everything seems to be accurate with the settings I had the last time I ran CTS. @Home Fries What do you think could be happening here to cause this? We both have the same, most current version (2.66), so I don't understand why my script would be getting written incorrectly. Also anyone else who might know what is going on, I would any input. Thanks all!

Would anyone mind posting their DCS_World.tmc? I am kind of curious if I would be able to run someone else's, just to see if the problem has to do with the script building, or with maybe my file paths. Do you think it could be a problem if the target script editor and CTS were installed on separate drives? I don't think so, but I am no expert so I could be wrong.

So I fully reinstalled the program, with the files from your drive, and I am still getting the same error. The only thing I can think of that might be out of line is I installed an F-14 mod years ago, but I don't even know if it is still in my DCS files. I attached the .tmc file, so hopefully you can help diagnose the problem. Thank you! DCS_World.tmc

Thanks very much! When the server is back up I am going to try a fresh reinstall. Another quick question I had (for anyone who knows) is with the MFDs. Are the controls designed with a minimum of 2 MFD's in mind? I do not have any at the moment, and I wasn't really planning on getting any soon. Would not having any MFDs cause a problem with the script writing? Thanks all again for helping!

I'm having the same issue

Just to follow up, I realized that since I do not have the F-14 module activated (I don't own it), I did not modify this option. Going to try a full reinstall tonight, so hopefully that helps

Thanks very much for your input! I will give it a shot later today and see if I can get it working. I don't believe that I changed that from the default, but I will check again later. Thank you!

Hey Home Fries, Although I have been playing DCS for a while now, I am brand new to TARGET and your software. I wanted to try out professionally made control setups, and yesterday I started trying to learn CTS. I have a few questions for things I am having trouble understanding. 1. I was having a general problem, with some items in the script generated by CTS causing a compile error. The first was the "Custom_Master_LUA_F14" being assigned in line 159, and it being given a value near line ~1060. When I changed it manually in the script, just to see if it would fix it, it was also not finding the TrackIR object. I have never used the TARGET script writing before, so I am not really sure how to troubleshoot the problems. The error message being displayed is pasted below, just for clarity: "Compile Error:Symbol not found: Custom_Master_LUA_F14 in DCS_World.tmc at line 159" Just a note, I do not own the F14, but I do use Track IR. The CTS settings are set accordingly. 2. The LUAs you provide are set up for a combined controller, which you reference as the Thrustmaster Virtual Game Controller, or the Thrustmaster Combined Controller. In my DCS, the throttle and stick are two different controllers. I am not sure how to change this. Is it something that is done by your script? 3. Is the TARGET script editing absolutely necessary to use the control layouts? The reason for the last question is because I got into this because I was interested in using purpose built control layouts for DCS, which would save me a lot of time trying to learn new aircraft. (Specifically the Viggen, since I just bought it.) I think I am in a little over my head with all of this, but I am hoping that this will be what I was looking for. Thanks very much for the help!
