Hey guys any help please, I have installed the files in the correct path however its not recognizing them ? I even tried the manual install, That DCSDTC.lua is right there int he folder its pointing to with the error however this keeps popping up ? Im guessing its a silly easy fix. Thanks null

George cannot figure out VRS either. Constantly settling into a crash or hard bounce. Doesnt matter the altitude etc. Let me know when he gets his wings clipped or goes back to Flight school

Time for the yearly Bump. . . .

So basically another 2 years.

I find that with many russian assets in this game. They are a little OP, when it comes to the DM with the KA / MI / SU series ai. Especially the MI-8

Maybe a thought would be to stop showcasing assets in videos years before they release with the caption "Soon" and maybe only a couple weeks before they drop on a pack would be nice. Just a thought. Thanks again @currenthill for all of your work. I do appreciate the time and effort going into stockpiling content and keeping things interesting and more avenues to pursue with mission creation. First class sir.

I have heard this also. However I started the thread hoping to get some official insight. Thanks. Very common now a days to say things are being "worked on". Not sure if they have tested anything etc. Thanks @Silver_Dragon. Aircraft directors would be nice. As well as a crew chief etc.

Greetings. With the advent of new unit / soldier animations and the super carrier, this coupled with the new emphasis of rotor ops I hope to see more life pushed into the arm / disarm and refuel game of rotor ops on the ground. The AH-64, KA-50-3 and now the CH-47 there is more and more community flocking to the rotorcraft section, and everything currently on the ground is very lifeless and less animated. I am requesting that a new FARP pad be created that has several scripted animations available, equivalent to the super carrier. This way those that choose not to have this would just utilize the older exhisting FARP pad in game. On F-10 Radio call to service the pad or on helicopter touchdown and on the ground for more than 20 seconds Personnel could appear. Then after a radio option to establish ground communication, would play an animation of them walking out to the helicopter and plugging in a headset. Any calls to refuel would show someone physically walking out and spawning a single point hose connected or anything at least more service personnel walking out, as well as someone standing by the window. Perhaps a guide man for when landing clearance is obtained with wands or sticks and on the upwind side of the pad to guide you on landing ? Same with takeoff ? just use the keyboard command for the cat launch to trigger animations you are cleared off the pad and ground personnel are clear and they all walk away crouched from the rotor wind etc. Sorry if I dont know all the lingo and the actual procedures but this would be such a great added feature. Honestly anything at this point would be welcome, also cargo ops for the C-130 and CH-47 also Thanks Shrike

Hopefully we see something like this implemented as its a great idea. Talking to friends in the service evidently this happens a lot more than one would think. Agreed also that it should be a clickable option to enable or disable or at least an advanced WP setting like "invisible" etc

Several frustrating events the last couple nights on servers, trying to get back into the Apache in the CP/G seat however, started noticing George likes to still rock the preverbal bounce in H/B mode less than 40 knts when I hand it over. Seems he cannot turn and hover, along with other issues. Weight not really an issue 70% and full arm, no wind. Researched and found this topic so I am glad its not just me. I see posts from March / May from 9L of last year saying updates and fixes are coming, however still seems to be an issue. Any update on this or clarity besides the "its coming" M.O. I understand we could fly empty birds or just stabilize the hover then hand it over, however have had instances of being in a hover hold and handing it over to to George and issue still replicating itself over complex terrain where he cannot smooth the RadAlt in hover. Please address ED or just demote George back to E2 and back to the service line. Dude doesn't deserve Warrant Officer wings. It seems still not to be addressed like stated above with the last patch. EDIT: Tried again with single tasking george. Still countless issues in terrain entering VRS.

Oh for all that is holy please allow this, Special item check box under options. Or at least controllable for the server in the ME on an individual aircraft basis on the weapons tab. Please 100%

From what I have experimented with and worked on in our group with all of the DLink DED pages they are not really functional nor operational the way they should be. Seems alot of the codebase on how it functions is a direct correlation to the Mission editor and what groups they are placed in. Once the aircraft are placed in the ME, you cannot dynamically change individual borts in multi groups per L16, in the DED page nor change lead etc. I think its a limitation on how they implemented it. I am thinking they just made it seem like it works but pulls code from aircraft state spawned per group and ID in the ME. if your able to test further or get it to work properly please let me know.

Well dont ask the devs to allow an option to return to the old setup of NWS we used to have. Although I understand some countries had this I asked years ago and was poo poo'd pretty quick asking. Even if it was a user checkbox option for the server on the menus. Oh well. Enjoy differential braking and restarting the missions. Some will say its very easy with practice. To me thats where you reach the game / sim and worth your time wall. Cheers.

Agreed. I understand you giving the slack, Just concerned also and I 100% agree with you. Just have seen this in the past with things assumed or announced and then are just removed from the list all together or just forgotten about and left in EA perpetuity. Still burned from the Super carrier. However being a natural skeptic, I will remain cautiously optimistic. As several other 3rd party mods and designers like Deka have run DTC cards and the like. Will give ED a basis to go off of. I doubt we will have the mission planning software and setup suite to accompany any DTC. I just want my boundary lines and flight plans. with offsets etc. As for the ALE-50 thats also I agree a stable, hopefully HB can give them help and insight on coding decoy systems and we see it sooner than later. Guess in the meantime ill pretend my system failures and just deal with the leaking fuel. cheers.

Yea, However as most things ED thats discussed, Ill believe it when its on my hard drive and implemented. Seems most things added are very stagnant lately on the updates for our viper. I was just curious on an official channel if its coming and what we can expect. Ill continue to monitor the ED forums and Viper Mini updates. Thank you for the link.

Thanks for the update @Assamita

Greetings. I know that its still WIP and I will equally get the same amount of comments regarding that. However please can we have more variety when receiving damage. It seems 9/10 times its a fuel leak followed by a flame out. I would love to see some hydraulic failures. Electrical or isolated bus failures or some requiring EPU activation. How about an occasional engine fire ? Let us use that annunciator panel some. If the base and core systems coding is there it should be easier to enter a variable or variety based on location of damage or strike etc. Any insight would be nice. Thanks

Agreed. Hopefully fixed and some closure. Last mini update was June. Seems much of the Air to Ground section / MC stuff has been sidelined. Well thats May. Still nothing - Bump

Thank you @Grimes for all your work with this also. Also @Pikey for jumping onto some scripting. Would love to see this somewhat incorporated into Mist / Moose soon and make things a little easier to process for those of us like myself that is severely lacking in the coding / scripting department.

Thanks for everything over the years @Pikey I know between yourself and @Grimes, I cannot even begin to imagine how much you have helped with the new warehousing scripting and export etc thats available. Thanks again for your contributions over the years. My questions is this topic going to get revisited with new codebase and abilities we have this last update allowing the inventory and input / output via scripting now ? I am thinking this opens a huge door with logistics scripts etc. Thanks again

Noticed this also about sounds missing or intermittent. Ran a repair. Seems the lock warning works, however the launch warning does not emit on missile launch. I had to spam press the H - Handoff and other RWR pushbuttons to generate the launch warning tone. Ill have to go back to the books for a detailed writeup on how its supposed to work, however Im sure this is not correct. Ill run another repair just in case. Not sure.

also the C-17. At the rate they announced the B-1, B-52 and S-3 we still have not seen them. I honestly have given up on ED with anything. Really just need to rely on the hard work and creativity of the mod community. Keep up the great work thanks for the uploads

Not that I have seen. You could probably try and convince Hawkeye or another community member to try and skin and port a 3d model from another free heli that is in the game like the uh60 or m500 https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-model-airwolf-weapons-helcopter/894774

Ah ok, I misunderstood from a while ago, with previous versions I thought it was integrated into another page on the DTC for the viper, but I guess your right would have to still plug into the offsets. Hopefully you can get something worked out with him and it can be incorporated into subsequent updates. Its an extremely powerful tool. Would be so awesome some day to have similar setup to the WDP we had for F4 attached image. You guys have been doing great work thus far. Cannot begin to imagine how much time the DTC has saved our group in data entry. Thanks again. null

Evidently Shelved for a while for other things or the next fancy model or map. Putting it over next to the Super Carrier and F-16 DTC
