Thanks guys... glad you're liking it!

That’s not corrosion. We definitely preferred functioning aircraft over aesthetics, but corrosion was never allowed. Most of the time what people see as corrosion is actually a chemical called Amlguard which was used as a corrosion preventative that turned brown with age. Civilian guys who own planes might use ACF-50 which is pretty similar. I used it on my Warrior.

Not possible... the boat only has four parking spots. While you can place an unlimited number of individual planes on spot 1, if you use 2-plane flights, after your second flight it will say “there are no parking spots for this aircraft”

TOMCAT!

The answer is in the thread. Third page....

I've come across a bug in spawning AI in MP vs. SP. I've got a mission and it's got a static MIG-21 and an AI MIG-21 set to Takeoff From Runway on a trigger. In SP, everything works fine. But in MP, the static AI is not there, and it attempts to spawn the AI MIG where the static MIG should be. It seems like that, with more than one player, the unit numbers get shifted around or something and it confused the static MIG with the AI MIG. Screen shots and .miz attached.

Is anyone else seeing this?... I have a Blue unit and Red unit in each other's WEZ, the Blue is immortal and Weapons Hold (I want a sustained firefight). In SP, the Red fires on Blue. In MP with just me, the Red fires on Blue. But in MP with other people (4 in this case), the Red unit would not fire on the Blue unit. Mission attached. Caucusus_FAC.miz

I edited out a whole section on squadron and deck operations because it was just getting too dang long. Are you guys interested in that sort of thing? I can do a stand-alone video on it...

Thanks, glad you liked it... when we actually get the Tomcat I’ll do some better ones. It’s hard to just ramble on to some still pictures.

You got it... once we get our hands on the Tomcat I’ll do an “avionics walkabout”.... give a tour of the cockpit and talk about the system behind each control box... where the components are in the plane and how the system works. I think it adds a level of “intimacy” for lack of a better word with the airplane. Or maybe that’s just me because I love the airplane :).

NVM... figured it out... I should have been using 127.0.0.1

Sorry if this has been asked and answered somewhere in here before... I'm trying to host a multiplayer server and also be AWACS with the client. Client is registered. I started my MP server, copied the IP address of the MP server, started my client and tried to connect to that IP address, but it would not connect. What am I doing wrong? log attached... dcs (2).zip

Thanks guys... there’s more coming, and we’ll keep posting them as we go...

Here you go guys... Intercept Geometry.pdf

I use it in MP all the time and it works fine.... it’s never not worked in MP.

The OP didn’t mention whether his wingman was AI or not, but I don’t believe this works for AI wingmen. I’ve tried to have an F-18 set A/A TACAN to 29X and I set mine to 92X and nothing. I believe only AI tankers support A/A TACAN.

That can be fixed as well... https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=159562&highlight=Gamemessages

Pick your poison...

Got a fix... I change UIMainView = GUI to UIMainView = Viewports.Center and it works. Make this change in the lua you're using in your monitor setup. Hopefully it works for everyone else.

I can’t say if it was used since that was after my time on Tomcats (I was an AT, got out in 95), but the F-14A TID was certainly capable. One of our favorite time killers was playing with the TCS in the back seat, tracking people walking around the line and whatnot. The RIO was the primary user of the TCS.

I can tell you that in the fleet there was a distinction. I was in VF-101 from 90-93 and we had birds we called A+ (avionics upgrade with old engines) and birds we called B (avionics and engine upgrade). Now maybe in the Navy official history there is no difference, and these birds had simply had their avionics upgraded and were waiting on a slot to go to NADEP NORVA to get their engines done, I don’t know. But I can tell you that to the folks in the fleet there was definitely an A+ and a B.

Yep... no doubt there are days like that. The problem is that, right now, there’s no in-between. You can have unlimited visibility or 5 mile visibility.
