Well, with the introduction of 2.9 and the new AI models, the older liveries for the BUFF, B1, and S3 no longer work. Hoping someone can either update the old liveries or make some new ones.

These mods are amazing!!! Thanks for all the hard work!!!

Pretty sure it’s a runway length issue. The BUFF needs a lot of real estate to get in the air, especially with a full load. I was stationed at Incirlik back in the 90s and I remember the C-5 pilots complaining about how they had to depart with minimum fuel if they were loaded heavy and then had to tank over the Med before departing the AO.

Well, I for one, love the idea of flying escort or just getting up close to the BUFFs, so wish they looked better.

'violently violated"...LOL, definitely stealing that

Ok, not finding anything in search and not sure if this is a bug, or if I’m just doing something wrong... I can’t imagine that this hasn’t already been discussed, so maybe I’m not using the right terms… When I set a group of ships (Carrier Strike Group) to follow preplanned waypoints, if a ship encounters an obstacle (Land mass) it doesn’t navigate around it, just steams straight into it and stops. Is there a way to fix this other than giving the individual ships their own waypoints to follow?

Thanks!

How does one place the glowing green gates when building a mission in the editor? I want to be able to build a carrier approach training pattern over any runway on any of the maps.

That solved the issue. Now to reload all my non-OVGME stuff.

Just did and it didn't fix....Wondering if I'm going to have to uninstall

Not sure what's happening. I went out of town for the weekend and shut down my system while I was gone. When I returned, my hornet is gone. It shows on the main screen as available and lets me load trainings and missions, but when I do, the A-10 is the aircraft that loads up. Also, when working in Mission Editor, the F/A-18C is greyed out, not yellow and won't load as a player aircraft, only AI.

What is the longest runway on the map?

Well, looks like they haven't modeled any of the ruins in Turkey. Two castles that are very close to Incirlik aren't present.

I can’t wait to go castle hopping in Turkey. Spent a lot of time checking out old castle and fortress ruins along the coast when I was stationed at Incirlik back in the 90s.

That solved the formation issue, THANKS!!! Now on to seeing what happens when I give the a target...

Thanks!!! I guess that's autogenerated, so I'll tinker with it.

Okay, so I backed up and I'm just trying to get the bombers to fly in formation before moving on to a bombing run. In the attached mission, The lead element forms up while the trail element flies S patterns. The lead AC of the trail element then forms up on the lead element and the remaining AC lag behind in linear formation and never form up. Any Ideas? Bomber Formation Test_01.miz

Makes sense. I’ll get it copied and posted up tomorrow.

Okay, I'm not sure what's up, but I'm not getting the formations to form up. When I follow his instructions, only the lead AC of each element forms up on the leader. The rest lag behing in trail, never forming up into the box. ??????????

No, I hadn’t seen that one yet. Thanks, I’ll give it a try with some B-52s and see how it works out.

Let’s hope not.

I’m attempting to get a flight of four B-52s to carpet boom the same area. However, the flight lines up in a following formation and all drop their bombs at the same time. The lead aircraft hits the target and all of the others hit somewhere short of the target. Does anyone know how to get the flight to all bomb the same target off of the same waypoint? Or, do I have to spawn the aircraft individually and have them all use their own waypoint and carpet bombing command?

Hello everyone. Jumping back into DCS after a few years away. This time, I’m really trying to understand how the Mission Editor works.
