On post 55 an example mission and Lua file is posted. When I go into the mission it says luaV4 but the posted is version 1. I am tying to do a target range for my squad to practice bombing and rockets with a P_51. I cant get the F10 menu to get the results of how close. Looking inside the LUA looks like the message is not setup. Anybody have a target range mission like this. I am trying to learn this LUA but it is difficult for me. Trying to learn by example.

I really love the way the background sky looks. Great Pic

I have X97 issues with Windows 8.1. This might seem crazy or placebo but this what happened. I downloaded the utility on windows 8.1 and did not work. Took a thumb drive and moved it to a windows 7 old laptop. That did not work. Uninstalled it on laptop. Downloaded it from my laptop and installed that one it worked. Could just downloading it from windows 8.1 and X97 chipset corrupt the file enough to not work? Re-downloading from a old laptop with Windows 7 worked. Strange.

I have 8.1 also. I will update if I get fix.

I am now having same issue. Joystick has no firmware. Tried the bootloader method and still no go to update firmware. Throttle is fine. Might have to contact Thrustmaster. Wonder if it is a windows 8.1 issue. I hope apoll awnsers his workaround.

I also use this method and works well and the plane lifts off of runway by itself.

The Il2 way was nice that all skins were sent if you did not have them but could be problem with the size of skins now. Even in Il2 our squad now would have a skin pack for all squad members to have so there was no need to use the bandwidth for downloading skins in the mission.

I agree.

Thanks MK-82 for the fixed front. Rep to you.

Awesome work. Thanks for sharing and rep inbound

Mk Where did you find the fixed or updated templates? Also Whiplash bare metal template has not been approved yet. Whiplash thanks for the hard work and reps on your way.

I agree I keep coming back to this thread to refresh memory after I have done a reinstall of hard drive.

Been waiting for this a long time. I remember before DCS A-10 cane out the big debate back then to go to a new graphic engine with multi support. I hope with this will come also soon dedicated server and SDK release. The future looks bright. Just bought a new rig. The timing looks good to enjoy this with new rig.

Thanks Wags you are the best to keeping the backer rewards when you did not have to.

That is funny. Need a tester I can help. :helpsmilie:

Thank You, I wish I can remember the name of the pilot that said that but I remember he oversaw the squadrons website and memorable. I remember getting his info and signature then gave it to a old IL2 flyer name Bearcat.

Great tribute and production. Salute to the VTA. Got to see them and talk to them in an airshow 9 years ago. I will never forget one answer they gave me. I asked what drove you to never leave the bombers? Answer was they saw grandchildren in those window of bombers.

Thanks I will give them a try.

Zabuza, This looks really great and want to give it a try. I notice double commands for Some switches and buttons how does that work. Example (Canopy)

This keeps getting better and better. Great work.

Ok been fooling around with FoxBeard excellent terrain mod and was modifying the High lua file for my preference. Got it where I want it. So I was looking into the graphic file and discovered a setting for the haze. So I can push back the haze to get it where I want it. Here is what I did. In \Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Config\graphics.lua there are three settings. Line 109,129 and 149. Change this to get the haze pushed back. here are the perfprmance hits and pics of each one. Change the red to what you want. 150000 is default Line 109 (far_clip = 600000; ) Default is 150000 Line 129 (far_clip = 600000; ) Default is 150000 Line 149 (far_clip = 600000; ) Default is 150000 FPS Hit: far_clip = 150000 80 fps far_clip = 300000 75 fps far_clip = 600000 67fps

Great script thanks. I am using this for our squad for dogfighting P-51 vs 190. I have four flights setup 1 for one plane 2 for two planes 3 for 3 planes and 4 four 4planes. I notice that when you Activate one group it drops out of the menu so if the unit dies you cant respawn the same group. Any way to set it up so you can respawn a group after the group dies beside the auto respawn? Thanks Again

I am building a mission for my squad. Everything is working except AI 190 not following waypoints. I have made so we can air spawn the 190 anytime through the radio that is working fine. I have the AI set to time delay for the spawn. All waypoints are in a designated Zone except return to base. When the 190 spawns it heads directly to home base away from Zone. I have AI plane set to Fighter Sweep. Cant get the AI to follow waypoints. Any thoughts? Thanks.
