Fantastic job on this, can you think about giving us a modern supply ship/refueling?

Me and my buddies that fly in MP see this all the time. None of us can figure out how to get rid of it. We trim before take off and still have it show up. Not sure what causes it. Maybe it's a bug.

You only need two way-points, way-point 1 and 2. Once you create WP2 go back to WP1 and add "Orbit" then select racetrack, be sure you set the speed and ALT high enough. The tanker will orbit between the two way points. I suggest making 1 & 2 at least 50 miles apart.

I believe there is a significant bug with Refueling in MP. As the host of a multi-player session I see this all the time on my end "Host" only. When we come to the tanker I already see the baskets extended before anyone has requested a connect. Again to be clear, I "the host" am the only one that sees this, clients see it correctly. Once I receive the message from the tanker "Cleared Pre-contact" the clients see my basket extend and I can connect no problem. But until that happens I can't connect because the baskets aren't actually there. The clients on the other hand always seem to work fine in MP. Can't speak for this in SP as I don't usually fly by myself.

I think it's broken, especially for MP. I have tried creating several train intercept missions and finally gave up because only the host could see them. Are you trying to do it in MP?

Use the "Scenery Destruction Zone"

I agree, dropping bombs on most things is somewhat underwhelming when you consider what happens in real life. They could stand a lot of improvement in this areas of the SIM.

It's just my two cents but I think putting out a high quality Apache, Cobra, and Black hawk would be a financial windfall for DCS. I don't one person that wouldn't buy all of them. The low level detail in all the maps make the SIM ideal for helicopters. If I were leading the company I would move them to the top of the pile for development either internally or through a third party developer.

Search the net for the VPC Airfield Equipment Mod. It will give you a lot more objects. Another one is the Civil Objects.

Call me a simpleton but I just place a refueling aircraft at the field for the mission I build and block the aircraft from taking off with a static vehicle or infantry man. My not be the most elegant solution but it works for me and the small group of home boys I fly with in multiplayer.

Yes I did

Thanks for the feedback on the percentage,

Will do!

While we are on this topic, I might as well mention that I also tried to create a mission where the flight intercepted and bombed a train in the Caucus map. Again none of the clients saw the train but I did as the host of the mission. We re-flew it repeatedly hoping to get it to work but never did for the clients. They never saw the train! I ultimately gave up on that mission and changed it to a convoy of trucks which always works.

Thanks for the feedback, I do have missions where the ships are in mid ocean with nothing around them and the same still happens.

I just loaded this mission in single player and the ships weren't there for me this time, so it's looking like it's not just a multiplayer issue. PG M-14 Destroy Kiev Carrier.zip

I removed the mods and we did it twice last night in multiplayer and the ships were not there both times. It's definitely not working. We did another mission with ships in it and that time the ship was there. Here is the mission that didn't work. PG M-08 Destroy 2 Ships.zip

I'll remove the mods tonight and see if that resolves it. Maybe the mods are the issue.

The version I''m using is the latest open beta. I will try and provide a track file. The challenge is from my side I see everything, it's the clients that aren't seeing the ships so I'm not sure the file will help. None the less I will try. In the meantime here are the mission files I created, the PG M-8 mission does it to us all fairly consistently. PG M-61 Repel Gun Boat Attack.zip PG M-08 Destroy 2 Ships.zip

I have been creating various multiplayer missions that are navel based, I.E. we have to attack ships. When playing in single player everything works fine and the ships are there. On many occasions when we are playing the same mission in online the clients tell me they can't see the ships. This issue seems to random, sometimes they do see the ships and sometimes they don't. I have tried restarting the mission and again, sometime the clients see the ships and sometimes they don't. Is this a reported/known bug?

bump

Is there a list of things not working, I.E. hits, embark/disembark, etc? Is this feature broken? I have tried it with two different types of helo's and I get a different result every time. Sometimes all of them get on but most of the time a random number get on and the rest of the troops just stand there and never get on. The helo then stays on the ground waiting forever. without changing anything I did get it to work once in single player where all 10 guys got in the CH47. I tired different numbers of guys with the same random results. What am I missing.

I have a small group of guys I fly with and we have been trying to personalize our Jet's with our names and such. Is there someone out there that can help me with this? I am very technical and have fiddled with it but free software I have tried isn't giving me the results I'm looking for. PM me if you willing to help us. Thanks in advance!

Yes I have a WP designated on a target with the correct elevation settings. When I hit WPDSG the Pod doesn't always slew to the target. Let me see if I can get you a track.

The latest is 446, maybe try that one or roll yours back to a prior version.
