Neat. Now if I can just get my Photoshop to work again! v6, boNes

@winorlose Thanks so much! No problem re: the diagram. This at least confirmed to me that I truly did understand what you were trying to teach. The diagrams were great nonetheless. I'm excited to try this out. v6, boNes

@WinOrLose Thanks for the help, and diagrams! In step 1, I understand the math that gets you 7.5, but where do you get the 60, the 20, and the 1%? And by a half standard turn you mean a 1 minute turn rather than a 2 minute turn, ie, you round a circle in 4 minutes so you are turning at 1.5 deg/sec rather than the usual 3 deg/second? In step 2, did you get 082 because 090-7.5=82.5 which is about 082? In step 3 the ADF shows pointing at near 360 but you said it should point 090, is it pointing correctly? On the point to point, to make sure I understand, the way you described would place you 10 miles east of the runway, heading around 40-50 deg. So you would have to turn hard left to face runway 27. To get to runway 9, you'd have to turn around and come around to the west of the airport before turning back on 090 to land on RWY 9? If we wanted to be 10 nm west of the airport to land on RWY 9, then we would place our desired point left of center on the BDHI (as opposed to right of center as in your diagram), draw our line, then move it up to center to show an approximate heading of 010-020? Then it's a right turn another 80 deg to get 090 for RWY 9. v6, boNes

Thanks. The details on that page are missing in the latest versions, V3b v6, boNes

Can someone post this file again., please? v6, boNes

I've noticed that Jester will hook a target, giving you all that info at the top of the TID, and then he will unhook it presumably doing something else. That is annoying because I need that information and I lose it when he does that. Alternatively, he will hook say lead, and then he switches to hooking trail and leaves it there. I need to know the most information for the #1 target over #2. The other things I wish he would do better is call target clock codes correctly. Most of the time it seems like he has the clock code in a queue as the bandit goes by, and so he calls them off in order which means by the time you hear them, the bandit is already gone. There have been so many times when he calls they are on my six when they are already right in front of me, for example. The only time he is accurate is when I'm straight and level. I enjoy everything else he does though. With a new Jester I'd also look forward to hearing more lines from him, I think I've heard everything he's had to say already haha. v6, boNes

say it with me... "...OOOHHHhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!" Thanks. v6, boNes

Hi, Everytime I in flight refuel, my total fuel (in front cockpit) always seems to stop at 12200 lbs. Any ideas why? Thanks. v6, boNes

I flew the short version last night and Smoke attacked the Jeep with guns no problem. (I killed the other targets myself). There were some minor bugs though (see my other post). v6, boNes

Hm, yes, I am using VAICOM Pro. Although when I said I told him "Cut Away" I meant my virtual self Flip told him "Cut Away," not real life me. But good to know, I'll try to run without and see what happens. v6, boNes

Nice! Thanks! v6, boNes

Despite it being shown as fixed in this latest open beta update, Mission 2 is still not working for me. Smoke and I hit all the waypoints, we both tanked, we both gossiped about Saint's incident, we both got to WP4 and I told him "Cut away"...and he didn't. So I don't know what is wrong. I'd send a track but don't know where the campaign ones are. I do have video if that helps. Please help! v6, boNes

Some minor bugs in mission 3. You are told to tank with Exxon but there is no Exxon. It turns out the KC-135MPRS which is labeled as Arco is actually Exxon. Also the TACAN as shown in the kneeboard for the tanker doesn't work. Smoke disappears for a bit then reappears trying to tank and then he promptly runs out of gas and ejects. Otherwise, great mission, and I love how you could play it in parts! v6, boNes

I had thought that when VAICOM Pro went open source that there was a wishlist posted, but I don't see it anywhere anymore. So here is somethings I'd like to suggest: 1. Make the VAICOM Pro tabs clickable instead of voice activated 2. Make the voice activation keywords for the tabs actually match the tabs (ie, say "ATC" rather than "Traffic." 3. If you are looking at a non VAICOM Pro kneeboard page (such as an approach chart or mission card) and someone makes a radio call, it always jumps to the VAICOM Pro page. Any way to have it just stay on the page you were looking at? It's really annoying when I'm on approach and the AI calls me on the radio and I lose my approach chart because it snapped to the VAICOM Pro page. v6, boNes

Just to double check that you got this fixed, what you posted is what happens when you say "kneeboard," but the image you posted shows it on the kneeboard PAGE that is in the DCS kneeboard, not the VAICOM Pro one. This particular one you have up (the yellow notebook) is a kneeboard page added by the mission builder into the DCS kneeboard. To get to the VAICOM Pro kneeboard from there, you would have to page through with the "[" and "]" key until you see the VAICOM Pro one. That is the one with the tabs on top. To get the VAICOM Pro kneeboard to show the contents of the tab, you would say the keyword for it. "AWACS" will get you the AWACS tab, "Anvil" witll get you the JTAC tab, etc. Someone posted earlier that you can actually say their callsign (ie Magic instead of AWACS)--I assume that works, I haven't tried it yet. You can only the VAICOM Pro kneeboard features when your on screen kneeboard is displaying the VAICOM Pro kneeboard, so you may have to page to it with the [ and ] key. Once you are there you say the tab. For instance, you wanted what ATC said. So, from scratch, bring up the kneeboard and make sure it is on the VAICOM Pro kneeboard (if not, page to it). When the VAICOM Pro kneeboard is showing with the tabs on it, say "Traffic" and it will go to the ATC tab of the VAICOM Pro kneeboard. Alternatively, you can alt-tab to the Voice Attack window and whatever radio calls were made (and what you said) will be shown there as well. v6, boNes

Same! I thought it was from the last DCS patches, and I was changing resolutions etc without anything working! v6, boNes

Is this and Reforger I paid campaigns or included? v6, boNes

Somethings may have broken with the last few patches. I've flown almost all the mission before the patch and although I had live ammo and live ammo killed the opponents, it was no harm no foul because they just respawn for the next rounds. Willing suspension of belief thing. I don't think I've taken a hit yet. But the behavior of the F-15 has to do with the new AI that was added in October. They are more aggressive now and follow some logic to determine their tactics. So since this campaign was made before the patch, the F-15s--or any bandit veteran and above--now have no regard for the safety rules. This happens in the instant action missions too. ROE says gentleman's rules, no shooting at the merge but they do it anyway. v6, boNes

Despite it being shown as fixed in this latest open beta update, Mission 2 is still not working for me. Smoke and I hit all the waypoints, we both tanked, we both gossiped about Saint's incident, we both got to WP4 and I told him "Cut away"...and he didn't. So I don't know what is wrong. I'd send a track but don't know where the campaign ones are. I do have video if that helps. Please help! v6, boNes

Sorry I should have mentioned that I am using Voice Attack with VAICOM Pro and that's how you would do it there. v6, boNes

Where are the server track files located? v6, boNes

It may take that but it won't be as precise and I don't know that I'd have the time and space to do that. By visualizing, I would basically have to put the WP on my nose and see what my heading to it is and if it's off, then I'd have to turn onto to the correct course once I hit the WP, which depending on how far off it is might be a huge turn that I would have to correct back on the outbound. Then I'd have to center the course on my heading and insure the WP is at my 6 the whole time, which is not very precise but what can I do? And then if it's a non precision approach like a VOR-A then it may lead me to the runway but have me be off center by say 20 degrees and if the visibility is not there, I wou;wouldn't be able to correct in time and would have to go missed. (Tonapah is a good example that comes to mind). I'll give it a few shots and see how it goes. v6, boNes

I can't even open it in the ME because it says I don't have the WWI assets. v6, boNes

I just tried to do the Training Day mission that was made available here on Dec 22. WHile loading, it crashes saying I need WWII Armor and Technics Modules. v6, boNes
