Sunstag's Marston Mat Mod Try using Sunstag's MARSON MAT mod. Maybe you can line up his mats and cover the outside lights with buildings, etc. Just a thought... ChuckIV

Drop the "thickness" Try dropping the density to 0.01 - might help a little.

I'm putting this thread here because it is the mission designers like us that create multiplayer .miz files, and I need your help... I need help with creating the correct folder structure inside the .miz/.zip file so that players are automatically given the skins, labels for spotting, etc. that are to be used in the mission when they join. If you have experience with creating these folers within the .miz/.zip file, PLEASE enlighten me as to the exact structure I must use for DCS to "find" the necessary files upon loading the mission. If you have a SAMPLE .miz file that has all the folder structures, please attach as an example. MODERATORS: You are MORE than welcome to respond here as well if you have the folder structures I need here. Thank you Everyone, ChuckIV

Multiple Inputs Check to see in your control settings that you don't have more than 1 input for each control surface. (i.e. you don't have rudder controlled by several different inputs at the same time) ChuckIV Also, once you have all your control settings perfect, I highly recommend that you back them up in a new folder somewhere on your hard drive.

After the past few updates, I can't seem to find where the GBreath.lua file is kept. Can someone enlighten me?? I want to boost the sound level. ChuckIV

Our squadron is growing, and we are still looking for more pilots. Private message me and I will get you the Discord info to join us on Tuesdays and Thursdays Pacific time 7 to 9 PM - ChuckIV

If you have the Spitfire module, number 41 squadron is looking for recruits. We have a couple of guys in the central U.S. We practice on Tuesdays and Thursdays 7-9PM Pacific time. In a fun, relaxed way we practice together so we can do multiplayer PVP occasionally sometimes on the weekends as well if enough of us can get together. If this sounds good to you private message me. ChuckIV

If you have the Spitfire module, number 41 squadron is looking for recruits. We are laid-back and relaxed bunch of guys that like to train together to go online against other players. Private message me if this interests you. ChuckIV

Hi Jixer, spitfire No. Squadron 41 is looking for pilots to join the fun. We meet on Tuesdays and Thursdays 7-9PM Pacific time. We practice as a squadron working on strategies and tactics, but we keep it fun light and not too serious. We also do multiplayer PVP sometimes on those days and occasionally on weekends for those that can get online. We use Discord for our comms. We welcome you if you would like to join. Private message me and I will get you the Discord information for this coming Thursday. ChuckIV

OK, so I can be seen as a server to some, but not others. While I'm online as a server (not a dedicated server), I can have a friend make sure I'm visible and get that confirmed. At the exact same time, another friend does NOT see me on the multiplayer server list. What can cause this problem?? Any advice you have would be helpful. Thank you, ChuckIV

We are forming up a RAF No. 41 Squadron based out of Funtington and Ford AB. PM BugsBunny for more information on how to join up!!!

I'm hoping someone that hosts a lot can help me. When I host a SIMPLE session (not a dedicated server), all my controls do not work. I just sit there on the tarmac without any controls working. What am I missing? Please help! ChuckIV

ChuckIV is in !!!!!!!!! ChuckIV is in!!! OK guys, it's time to create a Fighter Command 11 RAF Spitfire group!!! I've got a couple more guys that will most likely join us. WE NEED YOU!!! Join our brand new growing squadron! We are looking to have FUN - that is our main goal; to have a good time, not take it too seriously, fly a flexible schedule, and take this simulator to the next level. Pull the trigger guys! You're ready!! ChuckIV

bump - yes, this still happens with the WWII aircraft as well. I've gotten to where when a group RTB's, I just delete them once they get to the base instead of the merry-go-round until they all eject.

I'm with FunkyFranky I also would like it if the planes would gain altitude in a LINEAR fashion from one WP to the next WP. This way, as mission designers, we can "tell" the AI aircraft to climb as aggressive or as casual as we want. ChuckIV

I've seen this many times! This happens to me when I say COVER ME!!! If you just say ATTACK BANDITS, this repetition doesn't happen. So, don't use COVER ME - use ATTACK BANDITS. This will fix your problem - it is a bug I've just dealt with for 4 years now.

Yes, however... Your setup is VERY similar to my set up I just updated. Your system will run DCS in MEDIUM mode. If you put all settings to HIGH, it will get a little jumpy (FPS - frame rates) especially low to the ground or in a fur ball with too many aircraft at the same time. If you go to 3 monitors, it will need to be in LOW graphics mode (which is still pretty amazing). Hope this info helps. ChuckIV

Use a flag 1 and flag 2 as a timer (counter) Set flag 1 to zero at mission start. Set flag 2 to a random value between the minimum and maximum number of seconds you want the spawn to happen. Add 1 to flag 1 every second, and when flag 1 hits the same value of flag 2 (i.e. flag 1 equals flag 2), then start the spawn. Also, you can reset flag 1 to zero and flag 2 to another random number of seconds again as this spawn occurs - if you want to spawn another repeatedly. Hope this idea helps. ChuckIV

Make B-17 available for other countries?? What I'm trying to do is make the B-17 available for OTHER countries. I don't want to force the USA to be the red coalition because I want the USA P-51 go up against the German B17 for example. If I force the USA over to the red coalition so the red can use the B17, then won't that make ALL the USA planes red as well ??? I just want to make the B17 available for the Third Reich for example - How do I do that??? ChuckIV

How? How do I... "add the "USAF Agressors" to the same faction as "Third Reich" ??

Hi Guys, I'm in the process of making a "German" bomber using the B17 bomber in disquise. I'm almost done with the skin, but I don't know how to make this plane selectable for the Germans or Third Reich. In other words, when in the editor, the B17 does not show up as an option/type for the Germans or Third Reich. Also, selecting "Ground Attack" or "Runway Attack" for the Third Reich doesn't show the B17 as a choice. In the description file, at the bottom, I put the following lines thinking this might do it... name = "Dornier Do-217 Bomber" countries = {"GER", "NZG",} ... but still no luck. Does anyone know how to make a plane selectable for a certain faction?? ChuckIV

Couple of ideas... I didn't read everyone's responses, so I apologize if these ideas were already mentioned... 1. Set the fuel to "regular" for all the Bf109's; not the high octane stuff 2. Make sure your fuel load is 50% instead of 100%. Just a couple of ideas to even things out a bit. ChuckIV

Game Flight Mode?? Are you ABSOLUTELY SURE you don't have the "Game Flight Mode" box checked??? This is EXACTLY what happened to me about a week ago. I reinstalled DCS stable version. I had to redo all my flight controls. Found out I had the little boxed checked for "Game Flight Mode". Unchecked it, and all was good!! ChuckIV

BIGNEWY Get a load of this, it was all caused by reloading DCS stable version. Reloading all my modules. Then NOT realizing that I was stuck in GAME FLIGHT MODE !!! That's all it was. Unclick this little box, and all trims work fine. Good one to remember. ChuckIV

MOOSE The only time I've ever noticed this is when I spawn enemy aircraft using MOOSE .lua scripts. In MOOSE, spawned aircraft will not give you any credit for the kills. Since you just joined DCS in December, I'm betting you are not writing MOOSE .lua code as of yet. ChuckIV
