Reaper51368

Hello, this problem was reported almost/at least 1.5 years ago, any word on when it might get looked at? Posted a screenshot of the F-16 and the F/A-18 for reference. Yes, I know they are different aircraft and one has to be able to land on the carrier, but the Viper taxi light is nigh on useless.

For me it only happened on large missions such as a big Liberation campaign mission, but a First in Weasels over Syria mission loaded and performed fine. Did recently change the font scale, don't think I changed the gui scale.

Anybody know how to edit/change a pilot's name in the squadron? Tried a google search and search of this thread but only picked up on "name" not "pilot name". I found the name of the pilot in the player.liberation file inside of the campaign save .zip, but when I changed it and loaded up liberation it wouldn't load that save, so gotta start over from scratch now. ************************* EDIT: I was able to glean the answer by snooping around on the discord. You can't edit them, you have to enter it as a player into a box on the squadron creation window during the new campaign wizard:

So I was really hoping the fuze update would fix this. When I set the 105s to anything other than the default altitude they do not function properly. I set it to 500 in armament screen in the ME, the plane is set to match the ME setting already (tried different altitudes, i.e. 300). At the altitude the bomb disappears, presumably to dispense the submunitions, but there are no submunitions and nothing happens. Attached my test mission and track file to see if I'm doing something wrong. Practice.miz CBU-105 burst alt.trk

Any word on when the dedicated server will be usable again? I think it was 2.9 they put out something about getting help from the community on diagnosing....can't find the links now. I have used OBDS to run my liberation campaign, but since 2.9 it is unusable. Planes just lag out in mid air at 9knots, missiles I fire just flat ignore the target, bad rubber banding as AI flights taxi and fly. Any advice or news?

When I do a ramp start, gps weapons are aligning on their own. It was my understanding you had to go into the stores page to start them aligning. To test/show this, I made the most basic mission possible.....one plane, gps weaps only, cold start. I am %99.99999~ there are no double bindings on my peripherals (Combat ready/Takeoff/Startup panels and a super taurus). I even did the cold start %100 with mouse and keyboard. Track and miz files attached. Am I just wrong and the weapons "auto" aligning is how it's supposed to be? weapons_startup_test.miz GPS Weapons startup.trk

Oh holy crap!! Thank you LordOrion! I had never even clicked on the airwing button. I was laboring under the belief I had to buy planes for the base. Imagine my delight when I transferred them then on the next mission saw he ferry flights!!!! Thanks again. For those like me who didn't know about it, you have to click on the airwing button and transfer the squad there. The next turn will have ferry flights to the new base and after that the planes will be available on the next turn. This is going to cut down significantly on my time of flight to the farthest enemy bases!

Doing a Falcon Over the Mountain campaign in version 6.1. Yes I know, older version but I still have never finished a Liberation campaign before new versions come out and I'm determined to finish this one. My problem has existed in other versions tho. When I take an airfield, is there a way to get aircraft to that base? I am unable to purchase them for the base, and nothing shows up under the transfer tab, either for the base I would like aircraft to go to, or my base with plenty of aircraft to send. Thanks for any help.

Ok, just got home and that does appear to be the case. I must have done tdc depress out of habit and forgot to tell him to. Been focusing on the viper too much lately lol. Thank you Tholozor.

Tried looking on the googs and youtube. I was helping my buddy learn the tpod in the hornet. We used a WP near the targets to WPDSG then SCS right (FLIR was on the right MPD) twice to point track the vehicle. When he did SCS right again, which I thought would put him back into OPR, it snapped the TPOD back to the WP. I performed the same action (SCS right) after point tracking a vehicle and it put me back into OPR and I was able to slew the tgp around the vehicle. I did this several times switching between OPR/Area/Point. Several minutes later as we were trying to troubleshoot the issue, my tpod started doing the same behavior as his, snapping back to the original WP after point track. No clue what changed, and I couldn't get it back to switching between modes. I would always slew back to WP after point track. Any ideas what caused this?

YES!!!! That worked, thank you so much!!! Kind of embarrassed I didn't think of that lol.

Is there a workaround so the game doesn't spawn my F/A-18 right in the middle of the deck behind Cat 2? As I understand it you cannot designate a parking spot in the ME as you can on an airfield and the ME spawns the first flight in spot 1 and so on. In the past, when using Liberation, it would spawn me behind Cat 4 and behind the superstructure, but something changed several updates ago and now it will ONLY spawn me right in the middle of everything. It's very annoying because I stop the CAP flights from taking off and if I have a wingman they actually taxi into him!

Just when you forget how many miserable people there are out there, a dev tries to do something fun. Glad none of you are my neighbors. Bunch of sour pusses. How do you get the sounds to play?

Ok, apologies if I'm being a pest. Got 6.0 downloaded and started a Syria Allied Sword campaign. I set a DEAD mission for myself the same as I always have. When I try to delete or add a waypoint I get an error window saying "can't set attribute 'flight_plan'"(screenshot attached). This happens even if I attempt to edit an AI flights waypoints. I have attempted a google search and a search of this topic but without any luck. I have double checked and it is set to run as administrator. Any advice?

Awesome! Thank you guys. Looks like I was in the right spot, just didn't know what I was looking at.

What do you click on to get 6.0? I have looked for it and have been unsuccessful.

Is Github still the place to get the latest Liberation. The latest version on Github was posted on March 26. Is there a newer version than 5.2.0 somewhere?

Hi all, I've noticed lately (unsure when it started) during my Liberation campaign my JSOWs and JDAMs are already aligned when I fence in and go into A/G mode to set them up. I wanted to rule out it was related to Liberation so I made a quick mission with just a bug and some JSOWs and sure enough they were aligned after a cold start. I checked back through several patch notes and didn't notice a posting this was changed. Is it doing this for you guys, and is it supposed to be this way?

Ahh, thank you. I will give it a shot.

I run a dedicated server soley for the performance increase for the Liberation campaign. When I play a mission I cannot use the LCtrl + F11 free cam. How do I allow all external views?

Well, I did a repair (can't believe I didn't think of that before posting) and it works. Attached the old file for your perusal. Edit: I had no mods of any kind installed. dcs.log.old

In the USA, date and time on PC are correct.

Getting the attached message when I start DCS OB. When I get into the main menu the Hornet does not show up at all along the bottome, not even grayed out. Tried logging out and back in and restarting DCS and even rebooted.

Thank you very much. Will try it tonight when I get home.

Sorry if this has been answered. Tried to search but was unsuccessful. Is there away to place a vehicle, have it be stationary, but have the engine running? I place vehicles down with no waypoints, but they are just sitting there off. They are nearly impossible to spot on BHOT or WHOT.
