They've never said they're gonna release this week. They haven't said a thing. Throttle down and anticipate March 21.

No. The pilot can see it on the VDI. HB even had a screenshot of it around Christmas tracking Santa Claus over a carrier.

As I cat owner myself...Get him on a diet.

I know they didn't fly Bravos, but I wish for a 2001 OEF VF-213 livery so much.

So where's the LANTIRN stick on the left side console? The center stick is for the radar I believe.,

The Tomcat likely did more as a strike fighter than a fighter.

Hi. Noob question inbound. If I want each stage to have two missions, what value should I set on each mission. Default setting is 0-100. The score within the mission I clearly understand. I've read the manual, but the score with in the campaign builder for each mission in a stage is fuzy to me. I've downloaded some campaigns to see how other people do, but the value is all over the place, some missions have 0-50, others 0-51, and others have the default 0-100 within the same stage. As I understand it, if the player fails to score below 51 in a mission you stay in the stage, but with two missions a stage, I don't know what to do. "If two missions are assigned the same value range in a stage, the mission will be randomly selected." - So should I just let them be the default value of 0-100?

Getting a "Conversion Failed" anytime I try to convert regardless off PDF. I cannot copy paste the error but the error splash starts with: "Ghostscript could not be started with error." I think it got something to do with Net.Framework 4.5 as there are numerous "Ghostscript.NET.Viewer.GhostscriptViewer" errors, but NET.Framework is included in Win 10 so I cannot install it. Any ideas?

Where have most wars where western nations have participated, and even Russia as of late, taken place the past 30 years? The sand box with a detour to the Balkans. The Balkans would be nice, but I'll eat up Middle Eastern theatres like candy.

Exactly. That's how we got the December 21st wish date and the debacle with it. Expectations running amok.

Southern Iraq/northern Persian Gulf = Iran/Iraq War, Desert Storm, Southern Watch, Desert Fox, Iraqi Freedom, fictional against Iran. Balkans/Kosovo/parts of Italy = 1990s NATO enforcement/Allied Force. Libya/Mediterranean = El Dorado Canyon, Odyssey Dawn, Anti-Isis, Cold War gone hot in the Med. Egypt and Israel. Taiwan with parts of Chinese shore line. Baltic states and neighboring countries/Baltic Sea. Pakistan/india/Indian Ocean. As long as there's ocean so one have the option to use the carrier.

It's your own fault for believing it was December. Winter ends in March as stated above. It's your own fault for pre-ordering without a set date, I didn't pre-order cause I'm a realist, or at least I don't believe things on face value. December 21 was a pipedream conjured up by some in the community because "it made sense" and it became a crackpot theory where naive people defended their pipedream vigorously against any nay sayers, I was even called stupid by some French dude "cause I didn't know" what I was talking about. But December 21 was never realistic. Saw that a mile away. Contact HB and demand a refund. Problem solved.

Suspected as much. To bad. Thanks anyway.

I'm making a mission where I want "Iranian" (Russian really) Molniya-corvettes to attack oil rigs, and you as the player will attack the corvettes. Is there a way to get those bloody ships to launch their missiles at a static object? Cause I can only get them to open fire with their cannons with the "Fire At Point"-command...and that's not very effective.

Now, now. Let's give them to late March before we pull out the pitchforks.

People believed in the 21st like their lives depended on it. :lol:

Cool, thanks, guys!

See title. How do I change white hot and black hot and other options? How does a RIO input anything? Was it all done via the stick?

Echoing the part that people should throttle back and wait, and let HB do their thing.

Nobody here has any idea. Everyone is obsessed with the 21st of this month, why? They said nothing about it. I love the hate some random dude gave me in another thread for pointing this out. They're working hard releasing it, but people should set their expectations realistically. "This winter" is is not necessarily december of this this year. But its a couple of weeks of 2018 left so anyhtings is possible and they could drop it next week out of nowhere but is that realistic? The crunch at HB must be insane nailing down bugs and getting the RIO pit in a state they like. Just imagine the posts of bug complaining they want to curb in these final moments by working hard. March 21st may be a wise decision for us users to anticipate for instead. The release date has not been changed, it's winter 2018/2019. It's the community that's obsessed with December 21.

Awesome guys! Gonna try em both. Thanks a lot!

I'd love that. Although I use MIST, and not the other script file. A lot of things to consider it seems. I looked at other missions and some authors use Group Alive Less Than, so I just copied their trigger setup exactly in my missions as well as mission score. Will see what happens. I'm building a large campaign with the F/A-18, and will convert it to the F-14 as well down the line and, it's a good process to learn the editor, even if I'm doing very simple editing at the moment.

Is that 20k feet sea level or ground level? Terrain elevation will be higher. I wonder how bombing will work in single player. In the real jet the pilot dropped the bomb, the RIO fired the laser. And with Jester unable to operate the LANTIRN at release I assume if I sit in the back, button commands will still work that are exclusive to the pilot or are they blocked? Can I drop a LGB from the rear and lase? Or do I jump between cockpits? Just questions I've had in my mind. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out on release.

Not exactly what I was looking for, more how to have a trigger registering accumulated x ammount of destroyed targets. Is it "Group Alive Less Than" and you set the percentage?

I'm not completely sure how to do this, or even explain! But I'm gonna do a CAS/BAI mission were you fly out to an area with lots of vehicles to attack. When destroying say four fixed targets (fuel tanks for instance) I can do triggers no problem; like target one destroyed and you get a message, a "Flag On" and a trigger firing so I can for instance "stack" the flags (1 through 4) for a final trigger saying all targets destroyed plus mission goals/points for each target. But with say some 10-15 tanks and other assorted vehicles I want to do accumulated destruction on the targets; say the player destroyed 49% of the targets you get those 49 points, not enough for a mission success, but 50% or more targets destroyed you get the vaunted mission success/mission goal points. And so forth. Am I making myself clear? Back in the Jane's F/A-18 days I could do this no problem. I've learned most stuff to make missions in DCS by looking at other authors missions, but this is eluding me. Like I looked at the missions in the Hornets Nest campaign where the author does exactly like I want to do... But I didn't understand how to set everything up. Help appreciated in some form. Thanks.
