    I can't quite see what this "?" means...
    The campaign is called "F-86F Hunters over the Yalu Campaign by Reflected Simulations"
    (It is currently discounted to 7.49$)

  5. Tom Kazansky's post in NVG brightness control? was marked as the answer   
    In the sensors section of the controls are 2 bindings for brighter and darker. I have the German version so I don't exactly know the English terminology.

    @cpt_milkeye
    LATE EDIT: the attached mission is not the correct mission bc of an upload mistake of mine. I added the correct one with my post on Friday 25th (v 05.04.05)
    I've been using exactly what you described for a number of years.
    There is only 1 thing the mission (not the script) adds: As soon as the "health" of a plane reaches zero, it gets vulnerable and you can kill it. For "unlimited" training just set the health to 1000 or more. I like to see a burning bandit at the end of the day, so I like this feature.
    I did not create the hitcounter script. Just found in in the WWW 2017 and AFAIR I did not change more than variable names, if any. So I don't take credits for the script. I never shared it btw. until totaday. (end of disclaimer 😉 )
    So here it is:
     
     
    customEventHandler = {};
    function customEventHandler:onEvent(event)
        if (world.event.S_EVENT_HIT == event.id) then
            local target = "unknown";
            if event.target:getCategory() == Object.Category.UNIT then
                if event.target:getPlayerName() then
                    target = event.target:getPlayerName();
                elseif event.target:getName() then
                    target = event.target:getName();
                end;            
            end;
               if (target == "Pilot Red" and trigger.misc.getUserFlag("1") >0) then
              local hits = trigger.misc.getUserFlag("1") -1;
              trigger.action.setUserFlag("1", hits);
           elseif (target == "ice" and trigger.misc.getUserFlag("2") >0) then
              local hits = trigger.misc.getUserFlag("2") -1;
              trigger.action.setUserFlag("2", hits);
           end;
        end;
    end;
    world.addEventHandler(customEventHandler);
     
    Here is my mission where I added the output and other little things.
    To adjust the "Health-Points" of the enemy plane and your own, simply edit the 2nd and 3rd trigger values in the ME.
    I'm German, so they are called "F1 Gegner-Leben" (="Enemy-Lifes") and "F2 Player-Leben" ("Player-Lifes").
    default is: F1 = 30, F2 =10
    Because I do my weapons trainings 99% of the time on the Nevada Map (NTTR) I only have the mission for that map.  And I use the F/A-18C for both planes in this version of the miz. (see attachment)
    EDIT: the names of the pilots/units are important for the script. So mine is "ice" and the enemy is called "Pilot Red".
    EDIT2: I use the stable version of DCS 2.8.7.42718 which (today) is 1 version behind. Hope that doesn't matter.

    With the mission editor you can add an important way of training with low frustration potential by using the invulnerability option. After the flight or even during the flight you can evaluate hits by enemy weapons with the event/score page of DCS.
    For immersion I use Nevada map. Flying out of Nellis to a target range feels very much like training the "real thing" imho.

    After pressing ESCAPE you will find an option to show all messages of the mission.
  9. Tom Kazansky's post in 2.7 Clouds disappear when I reach them was marked as the answer   
    WAIT! I've found the reason for the cloud layer "issue".
     
    It has nothing to do with climbing+descending through the layer. Every 160 seconds (or so, less then 3 minutes) it fades away. AND: it comes back again after a similar period of time. This seems to be intended. Not too realistic but I'm ok with that. And it explains why I sometimes needed 6 tries.
     
    See a track recorded with time acceleration in active pause:
     
    Thanks for your help @flappie! You've been pushing me to the truth.

  10. Tom Kazansky's post in What does "FE" stand for? was marked as the answer   
    Google says
     
    ...there are single seat and two seat variants, a wide variety of stores carriage ... Fighter Escort (FE) refers to the clean aircraft with or without pylons, fuselage stores, or wingtip missiles.
