Thankyou! Please dont laugh, I know there is a professional way to achieve this one but this is my state of the art :P and dont hesitate to point out a problem this code may cause. Time based spawn (spawn group 5 minutes after it gets in the air) 1. Add following code in Condition if lock_the_time == nil then lock_the_time = 1 activation_time = timer.getTime() + 300 -- Change number accordingly to your mission routine elseif timer.getTime() >= activation_time then lock_the_time = nil return true end 2. Comment out the first controller section in "Do Action" to prevent the former group from RTBing after the spawn of the takeover. (do not comment out for tanker for obvious reason, overlapping TACAN and AR role)

Great work St3v3f Are we allowed to edit and use your code to have a 24/7 fighter CAP?

If you are referring to a problem that the only host can(could) interact with radio command online, that's actually a great news.

No, what I meant and what the document says is that MISP was already installed in 80s to get ready for the further upgrades however the budget issue didnt allow them to purchase JTIDS for 10 years after that, thus encouraging purchase of JTIDS for F-15C in 96.

Sorry for the late bump, just for the others who is skeptical that needs double confirmation, it looks like TWS indeed existed. it cost me some just to get an access to the document. This is going to be a bit(big) derail and a nitpick about version of the F-15C in FC3, I came across interesting read about integration of JTIDS and its capability in F-15C. https://www.hsdl.org/?view&did=2570 From page 21 Installation : - MISP was done in 80s and were waiting funds for 10 years. = only limited or test squad had it in 1996?(encouraging purchase of JTIDS is the purpose of this document right..? Page6) - The only hardware changes (done with JTIDS installation..?) were replacing old stick with F-15E's and some panels. -> Stick in FC3 F-15C is new one and JTIDS panel is there on the left side of the pit. Features : - Is capable of sharing fuel, armament, radar, positional data and etc of wingman. - Throttle and stick is used to update overall picture(?) - Sharing own radar picture between wingman is done automatically - Can even receive target info from Aegis and others. I cant wait for the DCS F-15C :P Anyway, getting back on the track, isnt F-15C in FC3 somewhat considerably new judging from the document?

Yes, by unchecking the settings in the option menu on the server side.

That's interesting to know, thankyou for the input.

I'm not sure about that.. I currently believe TWS is the key factor in identifying which one we've got and neither 63 nor 63PSP seemed to have TWS mode implemented. I haven't looked into the detail feature of the v1 radar(would like to know if there is a good reference) but if it's not working the way is supposed to work, I guess it's because of the lockon fidelity at the time they first released it.

Radar on FC Eagle should be APG-63v1 and was widely produced sometime around but after 200X.

+1 come on, what's so hard about telling someone to tap some key combination:thumbup:

Not being a fanboy but those new features you have listed, I have to say you guys are doing fantastic job.Too bad I wont be able to touch it till next year for the real life matter.

Now Im confused.. I thought the plan was to improve the modules little by little to achieve DCS quality eventually.

No, I'm not talking about AFM. I'm wondering if the incoming future paid upgrades for the individual DCS Flaming Cliffs planes that is clickable pit, avionics improvement and so on, will be compatible with individual FC3 planes.

So, further paid-upgrades for DCS Flaming Cliffs are to be offered later on, will FC3 user be able to install the upgrades individually as well?

Looks like settings path for AI an air unit only works for a host pc, I see no claim on this one in bug reporting section, I might be doing wrong though.

Add both JP and EN keyboard, set EN keyboard as default language then delete JP keyboard.;)

Hi Xray, here's solution. http://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=1687263&postcount=2

Title says all, tester might already be aware of this issue but just in case, it won't let me change the distance number at all.

Ahhh forget about the authentication server... It seems like 1.2.3 doesn't like being out-focused when loading things. When you have 2 different languages to type, OS seems to try to pick up the best language that suits for the software when is run and the switching is often done during the loadtime, causing the out-focusing. So the solution is to temporarily put out all of the keyboard except keyboard(US) in the language bar(or in region and language in control panel) so that it wont try to "pick up".

Ok, heres problem I'm having right now. Right after the release of 1.2.3, I was able to play the game without any problem but now, it can't get to the loading screen but stuck on the pre-loading screen that is a little window with logo pop up in the middle of the monitor just before it gets to actual loading screen, when I try to play mission/start up MP. Not only me but also many of other buddies(7-8 people) were suffering from this issue yesterday night, some of the lucky guy could get into 3D/start up MP after the bunch of attempts, I couldnt manage to play the game at all. We thought it's an authentication server being overloaded however the problem still present this morning, I want ED team to look into the issue. Thanks in advance.

Perhaps it's about the Russian fighter as Russian dev have mentioned on the secrecy of military and law in their country lately, they might have to compromise something we call, DCS quality, for those planes?

Thank you for replying. Sounds really promising.. I'm a bit surprised by the flexibility as the only things I know that bridges between DCS World and external software is some codes in export.lua and arugements in main_panel. Did quick search on F-15 on google, if my English understanding and information on internet is right, at least 2001 version of F-15(TWS + 63 = APG-63v1) is modeled in FC3. Some of USAF F-15s had JTIDS in 90's(got it in mid/later 90's for urgent need of datalink and being threatened to cut their budget if they wait for MIDS(?)) but reality is very few of them actually obtained it(25). Rest were going to have MIDS after completion of evaluation in 2001 (?) http://www.boeing.com/news/releases/2001/q2/news_release_010402n.htm http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/policy/army/fm/6-24-8/tadilj.pdf http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/library/budget/fy2001/dot-e/airforce/01fdl.html https://docs.google.com/viewer?a=v&q=cache:CSTTXMYfomwJ:www.dfeeler.com/forecastinc/sampledocs/AirborneElectronics/JointTactical.doc+JTIDS+budget+cut&hl=ja&gl=jp&pid=bl&srcid=ADGEEShy52xzgccjHy88L7aDJzMChmhpKi_GUAUFa0rZ3G5gIhoLJZjPxPtHCCSMkbHBeFOlwUIMkL2LVOp0Zt4IYqKKXGf8G-eOocYgaJ_BDvTry50DTFwvJFOXDxpfMB-hhDZgq0tR&sig=AHIEtbTBNDSY7LV3YHoN_XzqriSg8T08qQ What I want to say?...I'm for datalink for FC3 F-15C if those info or my understanding on the articles is right.:)

Awesome.. looking forward to it. One thing, when you say datalink, does host act as ATC or AWACS then client(FC3 plane?) receive the target data from it on HSD or something?

Anybody found out a way to add a custom nav fix to the default CDU navigation database for Crimea?(except prepare mission of course,,) ARCOE, APEX, Stucky's peak..etc for example, it seems like it's already there for Nevada map/Redflag operation but Crimea. I have been messing around with Default_DTS_CDU_DB.lua but still no luck.

I thought the zoom is used (in-sim) to replicate the difference of eye and NVG posit. That said, I have no idea how does it look like IRL so would you give us an extra input on that too? And the focus range that has been mentioned by PeterP if you dont mind? (Does HUD or cockpit get blur when the focus is on the outside of the cockpit?) *add For those having issue with IR laser, mask area of IR laser is defined by focus.png
