Thanks for the answer ! That may sound stupid, but since I tend to do most flying in the cockît, I never figured that the markings were different on each side... ooopsie. Good to see that visible mark of brotherhood/sisterhood, with a good helping of interservice rivalry and banter Squire out

Hi all, I've recently installed the T45 and I just love it. Can't stop zooming around the carrier and Case-1 the hell out of this bird ! Just one question : Why are most of the liveries adorned with Marines markings ? I thought Navy would be the most common markings - if not the only one, I believe Marine av training is done using the F-18. I tried to swim the 40+-page discussion to get the answer, but my brain gave up. Any answers or hints would be mucho appreciated. Fly safe Squire

That did the trick, thank you! What a great community we have... Eric Envoyé de mon RNE-L21 en utilisant Tapatalk

Evening all ! It's my turn to ask for help - I am struggling with AI_A2A_DISPATCHER. Everything is fine except for one squadron, which I am trying to start from a carrier. In the log I got the airbase id and name as below 2020-06-14 18:45:59.272 INFO SCRIPTING: 12955( 12171)/I: DATABASE00003._RegisterAirbases(Register Airbase: CVN72Abe, getID=30, GetID=30 (unique=-30)) My script uses the following : TargetAirbase = AIRBASE:FindByID(-30) if TargetAirbase ~= nil then env.info("carrier AB was found") BlueA2ADispatcher:SetSquadron( "CarrierBasedF14", AIRBASE:FindByID(-30) , { "GCI Blue F14" }, 16 ) BlueA2ADispatcher:SetSquadronGrouping("CarrierBasedF14", 2) env.info("Carrier Based F14 set") else trigger.action.outText("No carrier AB found", 10) env.info("carrier AB NOT found") end NB : I'm using -30 as the ID as I figured it would be the unique ID to refer to (and 30 gives no result) and the result is 2020-06-14 18:45:59.319 ERROR DCS: Mission script error: : [string "G:\scripts\Moose.lua"]:115460: attempt to index field 'Airbase' (a nil value) stack traceback: [C]: ?

I must be missing something obvious; your help would be very much appreciated. Eric

Awwww hell, that was a newb move... I feel dumb. Thanks a lot for clearing that up! Eric Envoyé de mon RNE-L21 en utilisant Tapatalk

Hello all, I've finally decided to dabble in script making, but this one has me scratching my head... I'm trying to set all blue coalition groups to ROE = weapon hold, but for some reason each controller fetch returns a nil value, thus bypassing every group. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Eric for i, gp in pairs(coalition.getGroups(2)) do groupWorkName= Group.getName(gp) groupWorkID= Group.getID(gp) env.info( groupWorkName .. " " ..groupWorkID .. " controller lookup",10) controller = gp:getController() if controller == nil then controller:SetOption(0, 4) env.info( groupWorkName .. " " ..groupWorkID .. " Set option",10) else env.info( groupWorkName .. " " ..groupWorkID .. " bypassed",10) end env.info(groupWorkName .. " -- processed") end

Just tried it, and guess what, it worked. For some reason I figured it had been replaced by the Salute command (HB talked about remaps to standardize operations between both modules). All is well then, thanks and sorry for the disturbance !

Here goes, with my thanks ! Eric SC-F14-stuck-EPL.trk

Gosh I can't believe I'm posting this, but I cannot figure out how to launch with my trusty 'Cat. Here is what I do : taxi to a cat follow the Plane director Kneel the bird - holdback gets installed taxi fwd engage the shuttle disregard the sign to raise launch bar as it would stand the Tomcat up set sweep and flaps wait for the run up signal go to mil and wipe the controls use comms menu and SALUTE Shooter goes through the motions, kneels and points ... nothing happens tried both radios and ICS for the comms menu, nothing works. I know I'm not doing sth, or messing it up, but can't figure what. I'm guessing step 6 might be the issue. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Eric

Another way to go about it would be to implement a spawn layout based on current ops, launch, recovery, mixed... (which you could set from the airboss position) A bit of a hassle to implement I'm sure, but that would get rid of the need to compromise, possibly freeing more slots (performance permitting of course) Eric

I have the exact same problem, and cannot figure out how to use r/t once in flight Envoyé de mon RNE-L21 en utilisant Tapatalk
