Thanks for the responses guys, much appreciated.

Afternoon all, We are an Air Cadet squadron based in North Wales (UK) and part of our activities include going to local shows etc. at which point we pack up our twin seat D-Box platform simulator and let a load of strangers have a great experience flying an F16 in VR. But this is usually people who know how a joystick works and have the very basics in piloting skills, we (the Staff) sit in seat two and talk them through things. Now, with twin seaters becoming more prominent, this opens up lots more opportunities for those who can't fly (or to scared to try) to sit in seat 2, put the VR headset on and let their friends/ family members or even one of our Staff members, fly them around in an F15/ F14 or another twin seat aircraft. But, we have a problem, and that is, that when we go to these places, they don't have internet, so is there a solution whereby PC1 can host, and PC2 can link directly to it via a network switch, which will also connect to DCS for license verification for both PC's? As I understand it with MP, as it stands, both PC's will need a dedicated internet connection to the DCS server, meaning that we'd have to get 4G routers and aerials etc, and then there's the throughput, some of the places we go too have quite a few people attending and the signal can be quite weak. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks Mike

Thanks for your responses guys, much appreciated. A whole raft of doors have just opened with this knowledge and I'm like a kid in a sweet shop

Thanks dark_wood, I'm going to ask a very silly question now . . . . From a logic point of view, does each line after the first within the condition box assign a hidden "and" that stacks the logic, put another way, if I say . . . Trigger - 3 Switched Condition - Low Fly Breach Condition line 1 = Flag True (flag 25) - Unit is within low fly zone Condition line 2 = Units AGL Higher Than - (151m or 500ft) Action = Sound to All -(Klaxon Sound) Does this mean that the first condition is stating that flag 25 must be on And that the second condition relates to the first condition in that, flag 25 must be on AND units AGL must be higher than 500ft before the action will take place?

Hi all, I have been putting together a little competition for our cadet wing, whereby the pilot will follow cues from smoke markers and complete the flight plan in a certain time. Got the smoke markers working perfectly, with additional audio announcements that I make using text to speech, the problem I have is setting a height limit from one waypoint to another half way round the flight plan, where if the pilot flies above an altitude of 500ft AGL, I'll have a repetitive action that will play a sound when ever the 500ft AGL is breached. There is a rectangular zone I have set up for the low fly zone, so basically what I want is a condition within a condition. I've set a condition where when the pilot "Unit Inside Zone" a flag is turned on . . . . I've also got a second zone at the end of the low fly zone to trigger "Unit Inside Zone" the above flag is turned off . . . . My question is, how do I then set up a trigger so it does the following? When flag "x" is on (Unit is inside low fly zone), "Unit Altitude Above AGL", "Play Sound to All" Any assistance will be greatly appreciated. Mike

Cheers Razo+r , had a run through the mission (3 hrs worth) and not a single hiccup with the landings, everything working a treat so thanks once again.

I'll give that a go and get back to you. Cheers mate :thumbup:

Not got the A4 Mod, but I do have a the AC130 mod, and a couple of texture mods also.

Hi all, Not sure if this is a repetitive post, but I can't seem to find an answer while searching on the subject. Sometimes, and for some reason, whilst trying to land an aircraft, my aircraft goes through the runway into middle earth and an underwater lake, so I pull up, power on and climb back through the runway into the sky again. Noticing it more with the F16 than any other aircraft, but it also happens in F15 and F18. Is this a common thing or is it just my machine? More importantly, is there a fix for this? Thanks in advance. Mike

Apologies if this has already been asked but this is frustrating the hell out me. Up till around two days ago, everything was working fine, then all of a sudden, the little mouse button on the throttle and mini joystick stopped working? I have gone into the controller settings to test the connectivity and they are both working fine! Has anyone else had the same issue and is there a fix for this? Thanks in advance.

Many thanks for the update QuiGon, thats great news, I can feel an download coming!

Hi guys, Apologies if this has been asked previous, I have searched through various threads and topics to find an answer however I can't seem to find one. Does anyone know (roughly) when the Viper will be released onto the stable version if it isn't already? We have a D-Box platform that only works with the stable version of DCS and don't want to purchase the Viper if we can't really use it. Thanks in advance.

Sent you a personal email Joey.

You're a star Joey What are you going to need? Crest artwork, crest location, F15 template and preferred tail code letters?

Good afternoon all, We use DCS world at our Air Cadet's squadron in the UK, we have a squadron crest that we would like to put on an F15C which is our aircraft of choice for giving the cadets experience of the principles of flight, and as well as the crest we would like to change the tail code to two letters of our choosing. What we would like to achieve is to have a specific F15C in the drop down window (of the load out screen) that is unique to our squadron. I have seen a couple of tutorials that (in all honesty) go way over my head as to where to even start, and the major issue is, that we just don't have the software in order to carry out the process. My question is: Is there a genius on here that finds this work a piece of cake that could do this for us if I was to send over the details/ artwork? If there is a fee, then please let me know the cost and I will run it past our charity committee and get the ball rolling. Thanks in advance. Mike

Thanks for this Shagrat, makes sense now as when you "kill" it comes up with the unknown F15 or F18 etc when it was a Mig 29 that was shot down, I will persevere.

Morning everyone, hoping someone has had the same issue as me and can assist? Built a multiplayer mission, which worked fine up till a few weeks ago. Now, during the mission, at certain stages the updating commentary on the left comes up with "Unknown F18 or F15" killed or damaged etc My question is: If you have aircraft set in the mission, then an update changes the characteristics of one or more of those aircraft, will it then be required to delete and re-introduce the aircraft in the mission or will the updates be included within the original mission text and it updates automatically? Thanks in advance.

Thanks Rudel, I have tried to assign the points but as both you and Leonardo pointed out, it needs a flag to record the event whilst I had a 'Unit Enters Area' condition set which obviously doesn't record the event. I'll be heading to the Sqn in a couple of hours so I shall have a play around and let you know how I got on.

Thanks Leonardo, thanks to both you and Nineline, things are starting to become clearer.

Thanks Nineline, makes sense now, think I set it up so the mission finished at a 'Unit Enters Area' when inside the trigger zone, but as I have set no outcome, it doesn't recognise mission completion, I can see this is going to be a very steep learning curve!!

Firstly I want to say thanks for this forum, without it I would be sat at home still scratching my head, but the advice from threads on here have really helped me understand the basics. This has probably been asked a million time before so my apologies for asking it once again. I am a Civilian Instructor at Air Cadets in the UK, we have a decent machine using VR, Saitek X52 Pro HOTAS and TM pedals so all the hardware is there. Recently we have moved away from FSX and gone onto DCS and want to get a basic tutorial campaign up and running for the cadets so they can learn the very basics. Currently I have created 10 missions, Taxi & Take Off, Navigation, Landing Approach, Landing & Taxi, then a mission encompassing all of the above. (missions 6-10 are weapons missions) but . . . when I run the campaign, the missions don't have any continuity, so I do mission one which will automatically end once the pilot has reached waypoint one, goes to the debrief screen but when you come off this screen, it was my understanding that mission 2 would automatically load up? What it does instead is take you back to the campaign main page and you have to select the campaign you're on before it will start up, can anyone point me in the right direction as to what I am doing wrong? Also, regarding points, are these automatically assigned to targets or can I assign a certain amount of points to be awarded for getting within 1000ft of a waypoint? I realise these are pretty basic questions to most of you but unfortunately so is my knowledge, I am trying however and I'm a quick learner! Many thanks in advance.
