Alright with 1.5.7.10175 I lost the ability to get messages from AWACS and Tanker. Tanker wont talk AT ALL. The AWACs wont do anything besides tell me that I have merged and if the scope is clean it will say that..... Thats it. Also all my scripts that would spawn units no longer work at all. Nothing is being spawned.

Eurofighter Typhoon Preach brother preach! I am not really sure why this turned into a discussion at all it’s a wishlist post. But to say that dcs is a complete high fidelity simulator you are very much fooling yourself. If it is sooo lifelike that’s the reason that all the developers avoided anything with a AtG radar for so long for the sake a “realism” right? I have a feeling that the reason why we have less modern planes is because of the challenge of putting there systems in the game rather than declassified documentation. I am sorry but radars are radars. They do the same thing with some changes in speed, range, bands ect. Just because a new plane has a “new system” doesn’t mean that it breaks physics. All it’s systems still use the same basic ideas that the plane before it had. So unless it’s something like the pakfa were there are no stated facts about how it moves, top speed, ect. There shouldn’t be a huge problem. They are not simulating every tiny little thing. You guys are acting like the damn thing turns invisible, shoots fireballs out of its butt, or is in fact a space fighter meant to take on a alien invasion. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so I am trying to build a real-world time script that will update a given mission before it runs via a loader mission. I am stuck, I had it all figured out before I found out that DCS lua interpreter doesnt have textutils in it. If any of you more lua savvy modders could take a look and offer any advice that would be great. local textutils = require('textutils') local minizip = require('minizip') local OS_Hour = os.date("%H") local OS_Min = os.date("%M") local OS_Sec = os.date("%S") local missionszip = 'GorgasV4.miz' --local day = tostring"["Day"] = "..os.date( "%d" ).."," --local year = "["Year"] = "..os.date( "%Y" )..","" --local month = "["Month"] = "..os.date( "%m" ).."," --local localtime = {["start_time"] = }..os.time{year=1970, month=1, day=1, hour=OS_Hour, min=OS_Min, sec=OS_Sec}..{,} local zipFile = minizip.unzOpen('C:\\Dropbox\\GorgasV4.miz', 'rb') zipFile:unzLocateFile('mission') local misStr = zipFile:unzReadAllCurrentFile() local misStrFunc = loadstring(misStr)()-- convert file to string misTab={} str=sContents str:gsub(".",function(c) table.insert(t,c) end) zipFile:unzClose() --local z = zip.open(missionzip) --sContents = z:extract('mission') --zip:close() --First lets read the file and put the contents in a table name tContents --local file = io.open("mission", "r") --sContents = file:read() -- capture file in a string --file:close() --tContents = textutils.unserialize(sContents) -- convert string to table --Modify a specific line table.remove(misTab, 13) table.insert(misTab, 13, [=[["Day"] =]=]..os.date( "%d" )..[=[,]=]) --Modify a specific line table.remove(misTab, 14) table.insert(misTab, 14, [=[["Year"] =]=]..os.date( "%Y" )..[=[,]=]) --Modify a specific line table.remove(misTab, 15) table.insert(misTab, 15, [=[ ["Month"] =]=]..os.date( "%m" )..[=[,]=]) --Modify a specific line table.remove(misTab, 17) table.insert(misTab, 17, [=[ ["start_time"] =]=]..os.time{year=1970, month=1, day=1, hour=OS_Hour, min=OS_Min, sec=OS_Sec}..[=[,]=]) -- Convert table to string and save the file local misStr = TableSerialization(misTab, 0) local misFile = io.open("misFile.lua", "w") --mission misFile:write(misStr) misFile:close() local zipFile = minizip.unzOpen('C:\\Dropbox\\GorgasV4.miz', 'w') zipFile:zipAddFile("mission", "misFile.lua") zipFile:unzClose() os.remove("misFile.lua")

Also in reality I would be happy with the Typhoon, Rafale, or a Gripen. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No as in ED or a third party make it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Now that it’s no longer being held up by a company that will never make it can someone please make a module? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Been said more than I can count but I agree we need a f-16 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Title says it all. With modern fighters/bombers it is now a rarely scene a pilot not using NVGs. They are not tired to a planes systems at all. They are just attached to the helmet and run on internal batter or external battery pack, depending on model. Now that we have a addon system and nvgs are already built into dcs there is no real reason we couldn’t have nvgs. You guys get to make a little extra money and we finally get much needed NVGs. It’s a win win. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes but when I fly I want the mouse turned off so I can click what I look at. But when I go to the f10 I would like the mouse to turn on so I can read coordinates in vr. There is no way to change it in mission Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Hell I would be happy if you could just activate the mouse in the f10 map and the mission builder.

Simply put I am trying to write a script to match the mission time with real-world time and its a pain in the butt. I wish DCS had a simple timer.setTime() api so that I could just write a script to do it.

Yeah now the guy I was going to gift it to already bought it. So I might be stuck a module I already own. Support did say they will look into what can be done. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have been looking at your code and I think almost the exact same code could be adapted so that it would sink the server time with the mission time. Basically I have been trying to find a way so that I can change the time of the mission to match a real world location. So far your code is the closest I have scene in the wild (there are some other people that have the function already coded but will not share their code). Do you mind if I take a crack at it? Also when you do think the FixedSavePath function will be activated? I use dropbox to sync mission files with my server that way if I need to change something I can just save the file on my computer and then restart the server. Problem is it saves it to the missions folder and I need it to save to c:\dropbox and I need it to keep the same mission file otherwise I have to go in and update the server setup each time.

Does anyone know the average turnaround for this? I bought it for a buddy, already told him about it thinking that ED would have some system in place for gifting and unused module and now he can't even use it. There goes our flight night....

Alright so for the longest time I have been running the "universal nvg mod" with frenchys nvg mod. By the "universal nvg mod" I mean adding a couple lines to a aircraft device.lua and device_init.lua then adding the nvg key to inputs. But after the last update I went through and updated all my files (I do this with every patch) and it no longer shows up in the key assignment menu. Am I going crazy or did this happen to other people. On a lighter not I don't know why ED just doesn't add it to every plane. It's not something that is build into a planes systems and you will be hard pressed to find any military aviator not using NVGs. Flying at night by instruments is largely a thing of the past for military pilots (in nations that can afford it). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

O my Fing god yes!!! I have been looking for something to do this for so long! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

O my grawd you guys are such teases. RELEASE THE ALPHA! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok quick question for all of you guys that have been playing around with the system longer than I have. Is it possible to strip out all the units and missions from this system and just use it to save whats on the battlefield from one mission to the next?

Some of the great music you will hear in Gorgas! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lp_PIjc2ga4

The Democratic Republic of Gorgas, in the face of mounting Donovian aggression, has opened its doors to increase its ranks in its newly restructured Army Air Corps. We are also always looking for qualified Air Bosses and Ground Commanders to lead our Army Battalions Ok all role playing aside the nation of Gorgas was invented along with four other countries in 2015 by the United States Army War College. These countries are used by most branches of the US military as a stand in for real countries in combined arms training. We are currently recruiting if anyone is interested in joining and role play a former Soviet Satellite State. This is a very important time for the nation of Gorgas. We are modernizing our armed forces especially our Air Corps. If you would like to be part of this future go to https://gorgas.airforce/ TLDR: We are a US based unit that role plays a made up country that the military thought up. Its a modernizing former soviet block country that is looking to join NATO. JOIN NOW!

Very cool. I would really love to see some type of system that uses ground units kind of like the gcicap system Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok so how do sites like buddyspike show server status? I am just trying to make a small thing for my units website.
