Another annoying thing is not having a category for WW2allied forces in ME. Theres Germany (modern) and Third Reich but you have to go through all US vehicles, planes, objects to find a Sherman or whatever.

Your mission "Task" may be one that doesn't have any loadouts with gunpods.In mission editor click on plane to bring up navigation/loadout panel. "Task" will pre-determine your available loadouts for mission. CAP might only have AA missiles, CAS or Ground Attack might only show bombs and rockets. Choose the category "Nothing" and it will give you all loadouts for that plane. You can also create custom loadouts by selecting "New" on loadout screen, naming it, and puttimg whatever you want on it.

I'm in if it gets APKWS! New cockpit looks great. No more fish bowl POV is very nice.

Havent played included missions in a while but they can also disable some options. What module and mission are you trying to play?

If you were playing multi player settings like these may be disabled on server.

Check for anything being bound twice to throttle and stick in control set up and axis assign and undo.

Couldn't find it in newsletters but this was mentioned by Wags somewhere in a list of future improvements. Doubt its in 2020 though.

In newsletter pic it looks like its firing an atg missile. Is this a TOW?

I have minijoystick on CH Products throttle set up with X-Y axis and unrealistic slew so I dont have to press another button.

I forgot that it automatically uncages when you TDC slew with joystick. I usually just uncage to slave it to targets found with TGP. Oldpop. Just use vertical and horiz axis setting to set up mini joystick

You also have to uncage maverick.

Im trying to add a few M12s to a mission but cant get them to start firing. I have German arty working in mission, fire at point and zone radius are set, have tried adding weapons free ROE. The M12 unlatches barrel, points towards target, shovel thingie digs in but that's it. Oddly, I had added some infantry and resupply truck to group and the soldier hopped into the M12 once. Do I need to add a whole crew? I can only think maybe distance or terrain might be causing it. Targets are less than 2 miles away and slightly higher elevation. Is that to close for M12? When M12 points toward target barrel doesn't raise at all so maybe it cant reach proper setting. I thought I had these working in another mission but I think they were firing 5-6 miles away in that one. {SOLVED}As I suspected lower elevation and close range were making trajectory impossible. Working from a higher location.

If you tried changing the "time" on the navigation screen,where you add waypoints that changes when units are activated not the time of day when mission starts so that would cause both issues.

When you switched aircraft it probably changed skill level from Player controlled to "average" which would be AI controlled. Change start time by clicking on weather or mission briefing icon.

Mavericks have either a CCD or IR seeker. H,K are CCD. D and G are IR.

Not really a bug or problem but the Puma stands out as being lighter than any other ground unit in most lighting. Not sure if its just the tires but they really seem to be lacking the contrast most.

I think what "guides and tutorials" needs is to be locked from comments and questions. It becomes useless when tutorials are buried in pages of useless random threads.

I think the thread you're looking for is down the hall to the left Weta43.

Have you tried a repair? Did you have mods installed before? Are you using old Saved Games folder?

I just had something like this happen. After WE impacts and you lose the feed and screen flickers I noticed cockpit shadows bouncing around, looked up at sun and you could see it bouncing back and forth in two spots. Switched off flickering WE screen and it stopped. Got screenshots but they look normal. Was using FLIR and Pod. Caucasus-8:00am-June 16th. Not VR.

There's an option for "realistic slew" under Options/f18/ special. Uncheck it and you wont have to hold down tdc for slewing.

Modders use them and some type of editting program to create different camos and graphics on aircraft like you see in User Files section.

Those templates are used to create modified skins. Is that what youre trying to do? If you just want to add different skins go here...

If you mean skins its best to create a "Liveries" folder in your Saved Games/DCS folder and store them there. Just drop the folder with aircraft name and skins inside into Liveries folder.
