Helles Belle

Can someone confirm that the ILS function is working in the A-4. I can tune & identify the TACAN but when i change to ILS & tune it there is no ident or indications. Thanks.

Hi, If any one can help with Hi Res pictures or documents showing the actual words markings on the belly of the A-4 it would be much appreciated. Thanks Hi

That can be the case IRL quite often. Different concrete poured at different times, same with asphalt. Also can happen when resurfacing part of the runway or taxiway. I’ll try and dig up some real pics.

Remove the line completely. it still works on mine. don’t leave countries =

@Ducatipaul No worries As @Rudel_chw says, it's got to go in the saved games folder. I have DCS installed on a dedicated drive, (F: drive), and the saved games folder on C drive. It will work. I'll forgive you as you ride an Italian motorcycle....... that's punishment enough.

@Ducatipaul see this post

@Ducatipaul did you put it in the DCS game folder or the saved games folder?

Also, I just noticed that download has the modified instrument panel that I did. it changes the instruments to white backgrounds. I find it easier to read them that way. lf you do put them in the folder as mentioned it changes ALL A-4 instrument panels not just that download one. I have a lua that will change just the individual skin but haven’t uploaded it yet. if you don’t want the white instruments just delete them or leave them where they are.

I will update it at some stage, just need time right now. Also waiting until the new template comes out before I do any more A-4 skins. When I do update it, I’ll do a variety of colours & countries etc.

@NoCoolName66 I did a similar pattern, different colours, a while back if someone wants to copy the pattern. I could do it but it wouldn’t be for a couple of months until I could get around to it. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3306773/

Thanks everyone, good news from all. I’ll give things another try tomorrow and see what happens.

I can’t even open the mission in ME

As posted in another thread. OK, using the latest autoexec.lua I copied the following lines at starting at line 19. THEN at line 67 (after the function scan_for_environment_cubes(path) group) I copied: (make sure to change to your username) This seems to be working for me anyway. It's brought back all liveries and textures and it doesn't need to be redone everytime.

And now we start again.... The above two lines pasted above worked perfectly for all mods that I could tell. Now after the great 2.7 update of 2021 we're seemingly back to: mount_vfs_liveries_path ("C:/Users/USERNAME/Saved Games/DCS/Liveries") mount_vfs_models_path ("C:/Users/USERNAME/Saved Games/DCS/Mods") But this doesn't work anywhere near as well and seems a step backwards to the dark days of MV1. e.g. loading the A-4 mod, after the model has been loaded at least once, choosing File > Recent Files loads the A-4 in the lovely missingtexture digital green camo. you then need to go to mount textures > mount folder and locate the A-4 textures folder then you need to reload models to get the skin to show with any roughmets etc. AND, it still leaves missing textures such as the canopy glass & position lights etc this of course has to be done every time MV2 is restarted With mods such as @Bungo great HMAS Melbourne mod, I can't get a single texture to load. Is it really that hard to fix and keep fixed or is just that they don't care. Any way 1st world problems, I'll put the lid back on my jar of Tourettes & have a beer now. Focker out!

@Cdodders which Melbourne are you using the WIP version or the non-WIP version? disregard, I just saw you wrote WIP, I’ll put my glasses on next time

@BlackLibrary I’ll give it a go

I'm after some advice on colours for using the RAAF Hawk scheme on the A-4. I looked up the FS codes and think I've used the right ones but they just didn't look right in model viewer. Apart from the red on the tail of the first one I think it's pretty close. But this ones dark pattern doesn't look right. Does any one have aN FS code for the dark grey? Also in the mix will be this one

Nup, no joy. It still goes to the default position. Ship unit name: USS Stennis Helo group name: Rescue Helo Script now: RescueheloStennis=RESCUEHELO:New(UNIT:FindByName("USS Stennis"), "Rescue Helo") RescueheloStennis:Start() RescueheloStennis:SetAltitude(50) -- Set altitude of helo in meters RescueheloStennis:SetOffsetX(50) -- Set offset lead in meters RescueheloStennis:SetOffsetZ(50) -- Set offset starboard in meters

@Rudel_chw cool I’ll try it out. Thanks rudel

I'm trying to set an escort helo up using moose. I can get the helo to work with the deafult settings, but when i try to change it's alt & dist it just flies the default. what am i missing in the following script to change alt & dist offsets?
