I'm building a sort of persistent sandbox connecting Syria and Sinai maps, where units and values are shared. Building up and modifying Dzsek's awesome script (https://github.com/Dzsek/TimePersistence) I can now start my mission in Syria, play 45min and then switch over to Sinai mission and start at the same time I ended Syria's playthrough and with the same weather preset. I can manually start on the air roughly on the same location having several clients located on different "sectors" Now I would like to be able to start with the same fuel quantity and loadout I had in the previous mission. I've been looking but I don't really know even how to look There is a getFuel() method but I don't find any sort of "setFuel()", I do see there is a moose "UNIT:SetOption(OptionID, OptionValue)" method that sounds promissing, but I cannot find documentation about what OptionID values do we have Any idea or any pointers in some direction?

Well... It is new stuff [emoji14] Enviado desde mi POCOPHONE F1 mediante Tapatalk

Ja! That's smart! One question though, once you have the revetment's coordinates, can you determine the unit's orientation so it spaws aligned with the revetment? I'll try your method in my random template mission Enviado desde mi POCOPHONE F1 mediante Tapatalk

Well... I guess you don't earn the nickname "the widow maker" for nothing It wil surely harm the safety of my bank account!!

Solved!! I find my mistake, I only needed to cast the coordinates to Core.Point#COORDINATE. This seems to work so far, it allows me to spawn several flights and set their route during my mission depending on what I need BLUE_CAP_ISRAEL = SPAWN :New("Blue CAP F15E") :InitLimit(8, 16) :OnSpawnGroup( function(SpawnGroup) local position = COORDINATE:New(ACTIVE_POSITION.x, ACTIVE_POSITION.y, ACTIVE_POSITION.z) local flightgroup=FLIGHTGROUP:New(SpawnGroup) flightgroup:Activate() local wp1=flightgroup:AddWaypoint(position, 550, nil, 35000) -- This must be switched for a loop end ) And from the radio menu I can call BLUE_CAP_ISRAEL:SpawnAtAirbase(AIRBASE:FindByName(AIRBASE.Sinai.Ovda), SPAWN.Takeoff.Runway) In my simple tests it works. I create a marker, capture its coordinates on an event and then spawn a flight which is directed to that position. Now let's hope it will still work during an actual mission with enemies and air defenses, or if the AI decides to scrap its orders and do random stuff, as usual

I've been able to achieve my goal of setting custom markers with the Moose's OPS FLIGHTGROUP AddWaypoint method (https://flightcontrol-master.github.io/MOOSE_DOCS_DEVELOP/Documentation/Ops.FlightGroup.html##(FLIGHTGROUP).AddWaypoint) which is not included on the last release published on Github local flightgroup=FLIGHTGROUP:New("Blue CAP F15E") flightgroup:Activate() local wp1=flightgroup:AddWaypoint(ACTIVE_POSITION, 550, nil, 35000) I can create several markers on the F10 map, store them on a Coordinates array, and create as many waypoints as markers in a loop The thing now is, the FLIGHTGROUP:New() method needs a group's name with late activation and it "consumes" it. So I can only spawn one flight per late activation group. I would like to be able to spawn as many flight as I like during my playtime, not needing to declare each one of them previously on ME. To be able to spawn as more than one flight from the same template, I've tried: BLUE_CAP_ISRAEL = SPAWN :New("Blue CAP F15E") :InitLimit(8, 16) :OnSpawnGroup( function(SpawnGroup) local flightgroup=FLIGHTGROUP:New(SpawnGroup.GroupName) flightgroup:Activate() local wp1=flightgroup:AddWaypoint(ACTIVE_POSITION, 550, nil, 35000) end ) function requestBlueCAP() BLUE_CAP_ISRAEL:SpawnAtAirbase(AIRBASE:FindByName(AIRBASE.Sinai.Ovda), SPAWN.Takeoff.Runway) end but it does not work. The flight is spawned but the flightgroup;AddWaypoint method fails

Hi I've been trying to allow myseld to dynamically generate flights from specific airbases to the zone where I need them. I've been able to spawn ground units and set their destination passing the coordinates from a user created marked, but I have failed to do so for air units. My goal is to create one or more markers on the F10 map in-game, and use those coordinates to create a route to be followed by a moose spanwed flight. As an mvp I'm trying to create a simple CAP flight that spawns in Ovda (SinaI) and flies to Ramon Airbase. The flight is spawned as BLUE_CAP_ISRAEL:SpawnAtAirbase(AIRBASE:FindByName(AIRBASE.Sinai.Ovda), SPAWN.Takeoff.Runway) And it is previously defined on the same lua file as BLUE_CAP_ISRAEL = SPAWN :New("Blue CAP F15E") :InitLimit(8, 16) :OnSpawnGroup( function(SpawnGroup) trigger.action.outText("111111",15) local group = Group.getByName(SpawnGroup.GroupName) local initPoint = AIRBASE:FindByName(AIRBASE.Sinai.Ovda):GetZone():GetVec2() local targetPoint = AIRBASE:FindByName(AIRBASE.Sinai.Ramon_Airbase):GetZone():GetVec2() trigger.action.outText("222222222",15) local mission = { ["id"] = "Mission", ["params"] = { ["route"] = { ["points"] = { [1] = { ["alt"] = 807, ["action"] = "Turning Point", ["alt_type"] = "BARO", ["speed"] = 550, ["task"] = { [1] = { ["enabled"] = true, ["auto"] = true, ["id"] = "WrappedAction", ["number"] = 1, ["params"] = { ["action"] = { ["id"] = "EPLRS", ["params"] = { ["value"] = true, ["groupId"] = 1 } } } }, [2] = { ["enabled"] = true, ["auto"] = false, ["id"] = "WrappedAction", ["number"] = 2, ["params"] = { ["action"] = { ["id"] = "Option", ["params"] = { ["variantIndex"] = 1, ["name"] = 5, ["formationIndex"] = 6, ["value"] = 393217 } } } }, [3] = { ["enabled"] = true, ["auto"] = false, ["id"] = "EngageTargets", ["number"] = 3, ["params"] = { ["targetTypes"] = { [1] = "Air", }, -- end of ["targetTypes"] ["priority"] = 0, ["value"] = "Air;", ["noTargetTypes"] = { [1] = "Cruise missiles", [2] = "Antiship Missiles", [3] = "AA Missiles", [4] = "AG Missiles", [5] = "SA Missiles" }, ["maxDistEnabled"] = true, ["maxDist"] = EngagementDistance, } }, [4] = { ["enabled"] = true, ["auto"] = false, ["id"] = "WrappedAction", ["number"] = 4, ["params"] = { ["action"] = { ["id"] = "Option", ["params"] = { ["value"] = 3, ["name"] = 1 } } } }, [5] = { ["number"] = 5, ["auto"] = false, ["id"] = "WrappedAction", ["enabled"] = true, ["params"] = { ["action"] = { ["id"] = "Option", ["params"] = { ["value"] = 264241152, ["name"] = 10 } } } }, [6] = { ["enabled"] = true, ["auto"] = false, ["id"] = "WrappedAction", ["number"] = 6, ["params"] = { ["action"] = { ["id"] = "Option", ["params"] = { ["value"] = true, ["name"] = 19 } } } }, [7] = { ["enabled"] = true, ["auto"] = false, ["id"] = "WrappedAction", ["number"] = 7, ["params"] = { ["action"] = { ["id"] = "Option", ["params"] = { ["value"] = true, ["name"] = 6 } } } }, }, ["type"] = "Turning Point", ["ETA"] = 0, ["ETA_locked"] = true, ["y"] = initPoint.y, ["x"] = initPoint.x, ["formation_template"] = "", ["speed_locked"] = true, }, [2] = { ["alt"] = 35000, ["action"] = "Turning Point", ["alt_type"] = "BARO", ["speed"] = 550, ["task"] = { ["id"] = "ComboTask", ["params"] = { ["tasks"] = {} } }, ["type"] = "Turning Point", ["ETA"] = 1744.9128539618, ["ETA_locked"] = false, ["y"] = targetPoint.y, ["x"] = targetPoint.x, ["formation_template"] = "", ["speed_locked"] = true, }, -- end of [6] } } } } trigger.action.outText("33333333",15) group:SetTask(mission) trigger.action.outText("Mission CAP launched",15) end ) The F15Es are spawned correctly by the mission is not attached to them. As you can see, I've set some "logs" to see were exactly it fails. It prints until the "3333" message, so my guess is (which is kind of obvious ) I'm doing something wrong while defining the mission json. Any idea? EDIT: I have no idea at all about how to create the mission object. That definition's code inside the OnSpawnGroup method I used is copied from Operation Scarlet Dawn (https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3313323/ ) by Surrexen. If you could point me in the right direction to some documentation, that would be perfect too

Wow! I also just wanted to thank you! I've just finished the campaign and enjoyed every mission, and the detailed documentation. Most immersive experience ever. Kudos for the end [emoji1787] I was sweating and have already the divert wp selected on the hsi when I finally managed to land on the boat... Never have felt more satisfaction after landing and completing a mission PS: I also had some AI annoyances and crashes taxing to the cat (M14 is the last I remember) but your scripting is awesome to overcome DCS' AI limitations Enviado desde mi POCOPHONE F1 mediante Tapatalk

I think this has already been discussed sometime. I share the problem but I would rather have a solution similar to the "other civil sim" where the pointer is "fixed" to the part of the aircraft where it is pointing. I mean, you can still move your head, as long as the pointer is within your vr's field of view it does not move at all. Locking head movement may induce nausea I believe...

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but this very same situation happened to me on my custom made mission. After the tanker's basket was fully off I cancel my refuel mission through radio and initiated the sequence from scratch. After the initial radio message the tanker extended the basket again and I was able to refuel normally Enviado desde mi POCOPHONE F1 mediante Tapatalk

I feel you man... :( I'm in Spain, EU. Mine went dark and after a couple months HP sent me a brand new cable. Literally days before the V2 cable was announced to be sent to existing customers XD So 1 year exactly (literally 12 months) that replacement also broke again and then, out of warranty, cable-shortage-gate, it's everyone by themselves... Finally I managed to buy one (advertised as new) on Amazon.de from a shady german seller. It did arrive two weeks later (for real, not "two weeks" tm) and surprisingly (didn't have much hope) it was a new v2 cable and did work fine! Now I'm waiting for it to broke next year... So, great vr headset, terrible support and kind of unethical policy by HP not manufacturing enough cables giving they are aware that part is problematic. Well I guess is best for their business model to sell new headsets instead of replacing cables Enviado desde mi POCOPHONE F1 mediante Tapatalk

Thanks! Same here. It must detect the browser's language and country's selectors do not work in Spanish. It fails in the checkout page and on the user's profile page.

Yeah, since I started with an old cv1... Me? Super happy. My bank account and savings? Meh, not so much :( Enviado desde mi POCOPHONE F1 mediante Tapatalk

What that option does is precisely that: in syncs the aircraft's inputs to whatever inputs your physical hotas or controllers actually are into. For example as you said if your flaps are down on your hotas, they will be down on the aircraft, same for the throttle position So I don't think this is what op wants :(

There used to be some Spanish liveries, one from the regular Ejército del Aire and maybe I dreamt it but I remember also a Patrulla Ascua's livery Has anyone know any woking links, or can share them? Thanks in advance! Enviado desde mi POCOPHONE F1 mediante Tapatalk

Totally off-topic, but I did see that in MWC Barcelona some years ago. It was a Korean (IIRC) startup, along with other that designed a device you were supposed to hold while playing vr that generated very hot and cold temperatures in a quick succesion so you felt actual pain when hurt in the game, without any actual physical damage to your body. It was... Disturbing Enviado desde mi POCOPHONE F1 mediante Tapatalk

Yes, based only on my own experience, I would say it was most likely changes in the new weather model that affected wind Enviado desde mi POCOPHONE F1 mediante Tapatalk

Same happened to me. You might need to install some library. I cannot recall the link, but if you enter their discord, on the download section are posted the requirements and you will find the link to the Microsoft page where to download it. Enviado desde mi POCOPHONE F1 mediante Tapatalk

Indeed sir, thanks for the reminder [emoji14] I did feel something awkward while taxiing this morning... Jejejej Enviado desde mi POCOPHONE F1 mediante Tapatalk

Same here (in Spain). It has been two weeks since they told me not to worry since they will send me a replacement. And it seems it is going to be another "two weeks ™" until they finally send me a new cable :( I don't really understand the logic, if you know most of your client's problems are due to the cable, why don't increase cable production? Hell, I would even gladly pay for a new cable if I could! XD Enviado desde mi POCOPHONE F1 mediante Tapatalk

If you are talking about putting the aircraft on mission editor, you have to set the aircraft as "client", otherwise it would be AI controlled by default :) Edit: oh sorry, I get what you want, to drive to the aircraft and then jump into it. What I have done sometimes is to put a static aircraft on the spot where you want your aircraft to be. Then you can destroy the static and spawn the "controllable" aircraft

This might be a stupid question, but, assuming I have one M.2 with w10 and an empty SSD, both 1TB, how would you recommend install DCS, Steam and WMR (Hp g2)? 1.- DCS on the main drive, m.2, and the rest on the SSD 2.- Everything on the m.2 3.- Join both disks on a raid (they have different performance so I guess this is no good option Iirc, all DCS install with the modules I own needed about 400-500GB total disk space, so the disk wouldn't reach the limit where efficiency decreases even if I install everything together Thanks for any input! Enviado desde mi POCOPHONE F1 mediante Tapatalk

On the DCS options menu, under specials - DCS SRS there is an option to disable SRS UI. It doesn't seem to affect performance at all for me, lonelly single player Would be nice to have a workaround to avoid the requiriment of SRS, but I guess the whole point of the T-45 is to play it on multiplayer anyway PS: finally I can say thanks after trying it out properly!

Yes I do Once installed SRS and copied the lua file from T-45 it did work and let me spawn on the front seat

Still unable to control the T-45, path "C:\Users\alfon\Saved Games\DCS.openbeta\Mods\aircraft\VNAO_T45", no commercial antivirus, exception added to windows defender and the dll file is there on bin folder. I was thinking what else could I be missing and I though, I do not have SRS. Do I need it?
