There was a python script that Johnny_Rico put out that grabbed a METAR and injected it into an existing mission...as well as randomly changing the time if you wanted. I would run the BAT file...the script grabbed the METAR data and re-saved the mission. I know that there are other ways to inject weather, as well...but this is the one I'm familiar with. What I'm hoping is that there is a way to do this without the METAR part. Basically it would randomly choose Overcast level (0-9), Cloud height, wind speed and direction...and well as the mission time. Would this be possible? I don't really need real-time weather...but just random to spice up my SP missions. Like most of us I've done a wee bit of LUA, but not enough to do anything original...just modifying other's stuff. I looked at python and realized I was out of my depth.

The SEAD issue is likely the "ARM Defence Script". It lets Radars turn off so an ARM can't track them anymore. Although I thought the HARM would be immune to this. Doesn't it have the ability to "remember" where the target was? Maybe I'm thinking of the ALARM.

They also won't turn on ground power or air supply if the Carrier is turning. Before 2.5.6 they would.

Found the issue. I had changed this: stereo_mode_use_shared_parser = false to 'TRUE' to improve FPS a bit. When I changed it back to 'FALSE' my issue went away.

Running a Rift CV1. There's an area around the edge of the lenses that isn't rendering certain aircraft parts or clouds. Very noticeable in motion. Some pics: Specs: i7-9700k @ 5.0 2070RTX 8GB VRAM with NV 441.87 driver 32GB RAM Windows 1909

Excellent! Thank you!

Cool! Thanks for the update! Do we need to delete the mission progress files for this one? I finally managed to take out those damned S-300s along the coast...don't wanna have to do THAT again. :D

I think there's a new setting that allows GPS at all times. I haven't had a chance to try this yet. Could you just change the date to 2005 or something in the INIT file? Would that mess anything up?

Anyone notice that MBot released two new DCE campaigns? :D

Awesome...this is really great stuff! Thanks for the help!

I got the Caucasus version to work, no problem! Lotta fun so far! A couple of questions, though: 1) Is there anyway to get Lon/Lat coords for OTHER flights? So if I wanted to escort a SEAD flight or something, I could get their target info and plug into my Hornet. 2) Along the same lines, would it be possible to add a "request an A2A mission" instead of an A2G mission? 3) Does moving the front-lines (defined by by the waypoints used by MOOSE) and airfield owners mess up the scripts at all? I wanted to give the Red side a few more airfields inside of Georgia. I'm absolutely loving the mew missions that are coming out. You guys have made this SP player VERY happy! THANK YOU!

Sure thing...I'll do it after work (and the new Beta update finishes) :)

I am greatly intrigued by this mission, but every time I've tried it, I get no AI flights. I've got the mission script LUA file modified correctly (it works with DCE and other missions that require it). I load the mission, choose a slot, and I get all the right messages and the menu F10 options (choose target, etc). But nothing ever takes off except the Tankers and AWACS. I flew around for 30 minutes with no action. Is there a different way I have to load the mission? I'm opening it in the Editor first (to change loadouts and add a wingman). Thanks again. It's guys like you that are keeping SP alive for me, honestly.

Try running a repair (although you've done a re-install). Also, may be a good idea to backup your Input folder (in your "Saved Games" folder, NOT the main DCS install folder)...just in case. "C:\Users\<username>\Saved Games\DCS(or DCS_Openbeta)\Config\Input" Worse case scenario, delete the F14B folder inside the Input folder and start over from scratch. :( This will delete any keybinds you've got for the Tomcat obviously.

Excellent! Thank you. Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk

Does the unit persistence only work if you open the Mission in MP? I play SP (and change my Wingmen to AI) and just run it through the Mission Builder...I got the Mission Complete message, landed back at the Carrier, but saw no new LUA fles in the MIZ file. Just curious if I was screwing something up. Yes I've commented out the "sanitizeModule('os')" and "sanitizeModule('io')" sections. I play the DCE stuff, too...so they were actually already removed.

You can always do it in the Mission Briefing...although I forget sometimes.

Just curious if anyone else is using the Thrustmaster T16000M, with the "twist-grip" for rudder control. I can't afford any pedals, so that's what I'm stuck with. What are your rudder sensitivity settings? I can't seem to find a sweet spot. I'm still all over the place in my turns. Ironically I had the same trouble IRL during my brief time in flight training (just civilian...never finished, don't ask)...I have big feet and I couldn't "feel" the pedals very well. :D So maybe this IS realistic for...for me anyway.

So far, I'm having alot of fun with it. Only suggestion I can think of is maybe add some CAS missions with ground forces going at it? Although that may just be a mission I haven't seen yet. Overall I've been trying to build something like this myself for years, but my coding skills are lacking. So this is a VERY welcome addition!

Awesome! Thank you!

Having a good time with this one so far. One quick question: I've modified the Russian Flights to be Iranian (and use only Iranian types)...as long as I don't change the Group name, will there be any issues?

Ok...that makes more sense. I can sleep now.

Ok, bare with me here. In the Pre-Planned mode you have to enter the coordinates manually, right? In the Target Of Opportunity mode, you use a pre-defined Waypoint. Does the naming seem backwards to anyone else? Being PP, you'd think you'd use an already existing point. And with TOO you'd think it'd be something you'd need to add. Just today's Deep Thoughts... :D
