It's not your imagination! This is one of the big show stoppers for me. Sometime I get it to work, most of the time I don't.

Trying to use the TPOD today was very frustrating to say the least. I guess we will be flying missions that don't require it for a while till they can get it fixed. I consider it unusable!

I must be missing something, I tired this morning to create one and when I went to place the aircraft in what looked to be neutral positions the kept snapping to the center of the deck even though I assigned them to the carrier. Am I missing something? Also I can't find the checkbox for "Off Set Position. What am I missing?

The pole is an RF antenna for the comm center (what I did in the Navy) it is lowered during flight ops. In fact the antenna they have is not the style we had at all. That one looks fixed. If you look at any recent pics of it on the net you'll see it's not fixed to the deck like that one is. I'm guess the Dev team didn't consider having it just be down all the time so we can land on it. https://scottwhitmorewriter.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/hco-location.jpg

I don't think you can deactivate a CAT but you can designate what potion the aircraft launch from. Doing that will keep them from spawning there and you can place static along that space. I do it all the time.

While I'm DCS's biggest fan the damage modeling over all in DCS is one of my biggest disappointments with the SIM. You can drop a MK82 right next to a vehicle and it drive away with little to no damage. You can drop a GBU-10 on a ship and it hardly phases it. I served in the NAVY aboard two ships USS Crommelin FFG-37 and USS New Jersey BB-62 and let me tell you, if a ship took a hit from any one of the weapons available in DCS it would suffer sever damage and impact that ships ability to continue its mission. Here's a reminder of what one missile can do to a ship https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:USS_Stark_(FFG-31)_listing_after_missile_hit_in_the_Persian_Gulf_on_18_May_1987.jpeg

Putting a (0) in the WP altitude worked! I'm good now, thanks for the guidance.

Thanks that makes sense, I'll do that.

I put the WP exactly on the target many times thinking that would do it but the FLIR doesn't slew to it. I was hoping there is a place in the editor to put the coordinates for the flight so when they select the WP it slews. I'm thinking your comment about it having to be in the jet is the answer.

Hi guys, I did a search and couldn't find anything. I'm trying to build a mission in MP where our group bombs a group of bridges at night. In order to make it easier for the flight to find the bridge in the dark I wanted to have the FLIR lock on to the WP on each target. How do I do that? I have seen it done in other missions but don't know how they are doing it.

Thanks guys for the imput.

Guys VirusAM, is correct. Being an old Navy guy from the 80's we wouldn't have put a row boat in the waters of that region due to US/Russian tensions. But to my surprise the US does now have navel presence in the region as a response to the Russians being overly aggressive in the region.

I just wanted to chime in and say thanks for making this mod. I build a lot of missions and use it in every one of my missions. If your taking requests, I would like to see a Corsair and Intruder added to the mod. Again, thank you for making this mode!

Is there a link to d/l it or did I miss that somewhere in the post?

I have built a flight that is suppose to attack and destroy a DAM. When we hit the DAM it's shows us hitting it but we can not destroy it. I have even setup triggers using "Scenery Destruction" but the DAM still doesn't go down. So in short will DCS allow you to destroy a DAM's? If so what weapons will do it and how do you set it up in the mission editor?

Ditto for me!

If your talking about getting an air to air missile to fire you have to hold the button press a wee bit longer than it takes on the F-18

Ditto here! Everything is on sales so get everything you can while it's discounted.

Ditto for me! All my custom mission where I'm suppose to destroy something are screwed up because I can't find the target till I'm zoomed way in.

ATC sucks in general compared to Falcon BMS. That's the standard DCS needs to strive for. I would even pay for a well done ATC controller pack

Being an old Navy guy I'm here to tell you that none of the ships have a proper wake. Navel ships generate quite a big wake when at speed launching aircraft don't care what the size of the ship. The wakes are big. I would totally like to see more realism around the wake.

Hi there, I'm in the CT zone and am a semi serious flyer and enjoy creating and flying missions. I'm looking for a couple guys to fly with on a regular basis. I'm not crazy fanatical realist but I am dedicated to having fun and flying cooperative missions where working together as a team is the goal. I'm very well versed in the F-18 and the Harrier. I'm usually available most evenings after work/dinner as well as weekend evenings. I have a TS server we can use for comms. If your mature and interested in working together to fly and have fun too then PM me. Regards, LJ

I can't seem to get a GBU to track the laser, also after I drop one the rest are still on the hard point but the planes system thinks I'm out. Anyone else seeing this? I have duplicated it a few times now.

Thanks your right, the new question is how do I get a code to enable it, I will reach out to the guys at ED.

Thanks I'll check that out tonight
