Looking great!

Yes, sorry about what's going on, I hope that next Open Beta I can see what direction things are going and make adjustments accordingly. Standby :-)

Hey Captain! Currently the campaign is broken with the changes to 2.5.6. I am waiting to see what ED is going keep the changes they've made to the scripting, or if they're going to continue as is before I dig in and make the changes to each mission. It's many hours of work to fix, and I don't want to have to "refix" it if the scripting is going to change in a few days. Sorry about that, stay tuned, hopefully by next weekend I'll have an answer and a fix.

It’s not impossible, just difficult. Some tips I’d pass on are notching, using your wingman and luck.

I once spent about 5 hours on a mission, carefully doing this to make about 150 radio transmissions emit from a flying aircraft, only do discover all of that work was trashed :-) (I had made a triggered action, made it play a radio transmission (setting frequency, modulation, sound, power, etc..., cloned it and selected a new file for each, only to discover that in the end, they ALL were the same!

In terms of the triggered actions, did you clone "push wp 2", then rename the new action to "push wp3"? I've found that this doesn't work, it just overwrites the previous action as the new one (or vice versa). I've found I always have to create a new action, not clone.

OK, things have gotten better.... This is how I get it to work, mostly.... But I have to do it in the right order. I have to start DCS in admin mode. I then start DCS BIOS in admin, as well. Right click the icon in systray and "Open web interface". Then, check the enable LUA Console. This will work most of the time for me, so I'm quite happy. Thanks for the neat feature, and thanks everyone for the help!

Hey Scotty! I’ve edited and reuploded the Harrier Red Flag and Eastern Friendship missions. The rest won’t work, I don’t have time to fix them. The next Open Beta patch may address the issues that were introduced, so perhaps after the next patch there will be no need to do the heavy work.

OK, I have it working (kinda, sometimes)..... So here it is...> If I start DCS, open an instant action mission, select Open Web Interface from the DCS-BIOS icon and then "Enable LUA console" from there, it opens up a browser, all connections are correct and it works! I can set flags, see parameters and indciations! I can then close this mission, open up another instant action mission and it works too, on every map I have. Good so far! Now, when I open up a mission that I've created and go to get things from the DCS-BIOS lua console, nothing happens. It just returns nothing. I can't set flags, see indications, or parameters. Now, the weirder thing is, I can exit my edited mission and load up another instant action mission, but the LUA Console does not work here. It returns nothing, no flags, indications, etc... DCS-BIOS LUA Console now won't work, no matter what I do. I then have to exit DCS entirely, close DCS-BIOS and then open them both up again. Once I do, it works for the Instant Action missions, but not for any user created ones. I'm running the latest Open Beta 2.5.6, if that give any indication. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Any of them... I've tried it with the Hornet, VIper and JF17. It must be that something isn't configured correctly, but I've gone over the steps several times and it seems to be correct. I have had Witchcraft working well before, and the other day I thought I'd give DCS BIOS a try. Downloaded it, it installed and updated several things on my machine. One it was ready, it just didn't work at all, no matter what I tried. I then tried witchcraft again, but in that LUA console, the formatting of the returns were all screwed up (see attached). I tried removing and reinstalling both DCS BIOS and Witchcraft but no change... DCS BIOS lua console does not seem to work, and the returns in Witchcraft LUA console is formatted all wonky.

It is set to player, not sure what's going on here...

I should say the above comes up when the environment is set to hub. When set to mission (as in the instructions) I get nothing.

Hey guys! I've installed DCS BIOS and seemed to have gotten things set up, but I"m getting an error when trying to run commands in the LUA console.... For example, when I try this: return list_cockpit_params() I get: <string>:1: attempt to call a non-function object stack traceback: <string>:1: in main chunk [G]: ? Any body know what I'm doing wrong?

Hey Scotch75! I'll try and get to the older missions when I have some free(er) time in the future.... I love the F-5 and it's one of the things I would like to work more going forward.

Updated most newer missions to work with Open Beta 2.5.6... I haven't had time to do exhaustive testing on all of them, but they should all work now.

Hey All! Just so you know, I'm aware that many of my missions and campaigns are not currently working in the new version of the Open Beta. This has something to do with the changes made to version 2.5.6. I'm currently waiting to see what happens with the Open Beta in the coming days to see if the changes made to the scripting engine are permanent, or a temporary anomaly before I start re-working all of my missions. Rest assured, once this issue is sorted out one way or another, I'll be updating my missions to work well going forward. Thanks for your patience, SEDLO

Yeah, all of my SP missions are a Mission Start > Set Flag 1 and everything is based off of that. A work around seems to be to change it to Time more than 1 > Set Flag 1, which does seem to work, although I'll have to change all my subsequent triggers to account for the +1 second.

Copy that, I'll try and have a look this weekend! Thanks for the info!

Glad you enjoyed the mission! With this mission I was trying to make it a little more lifelike, which sometimes can be a bit boring. But you are correct, it is a little bit simple on that mission. I’m curious, did you get a pop up enemy hello spawn in on that mission? I’m wondering is something hasn’t triggered it.

I've also seen that the call sign field is missing, too. I'm not sure if it's a bug or not. IRL, and in the sim, the call sign will be the First and Last letter of the call sign followed by the number. UZI is UI, Pontiac is PC, etc....

Hi Robsongois! Here are a few misisons I've made for the Harrier... Some are on the Caucasus map. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/?set_filter=Y&arrFilter_pf%5Bfiletype%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Bgameversion%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Bfilelang%5D=&arrFilter_pf%5Baircraft%5D=501&arrFilter_DATE_CREATE_1_DAYS_TO_BACK=&CREATED_BY=sedlo&sort_by_order=TIMESTAMP_X_DESC&set_filter=Filter Thanks, Baltic for the shout out!

Hardcard, this is exactly perfect! I'll have a play around with it this weekend, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Hey Chicki! Thanks, glad you liked it! You can do stored heading or a full alignment, it doesn’t matter (the triggers are based on switching to ground for taxi). And no, you don’t have to call the JTAC using the usual DCS procedure.
