  1. Thanks for the clarification. I do all my programming for MP. Your hoggit scripting reference is invaluable.
  2. It appears that S_EVENT_HIT returns a table with a key labelled "weapon". However, that key has a value of nil. It does return a key labelled "weapon_name" with a string value equal to the name of the weapon. Maybe @Grimes or whoever maintains the hoggit ref can update it. You can do a simple check on the "event" table with the Lua pairs function to see what is returned by the event. elseif event.id == world.event.S_EVENT_HIT then trigger.action.outText("S_EVENT_HIT\n", 10, true) for k,v in pairs(event) do trigger.action.outText(string.format("%s\n", k), 10, false) end
  3. You may indeed be correct, I don't know. However, the posted image does not say one way or the other for the AIM-9B. And, if you are going to reference documents, it's a good idea to post the title of the document so others can look it up.
  4. Please ED also give us some of the airfield equipment like an updated Ural 4320/APA-5d, towbars, and the like. I really liked the old Virpil airfield mod from a few years back. Also, thank you for the MiG-29. It is indeed a dream come true for me. I suppose a request for the Su-25 or maybe a Su-27 as well would be out of order....lol.
  5. I am working on a REDFOR training server that features the Yak-52. It may be a while before it's online though.
  6. I hope she flies like the real thing.
  7. Hi D500. Yes unfortunately. But it is coming back. I am re-writing the code and dropping support for SRS and Discord. The server will use in-game voice chat for radio comms. I will make a post when it's back up. It might be a month or two before it's ready. Hope you all have a nice Christmas. Z
  8. While I am sure that there must be a good youtube video out there somewhere, I would steer clear of YT for aviation knowledge. A good source for this info is the AIM (formerly the airman's information manual, before the woke crowd took over)Aeronautical Information Manual - AIM (faa.gov)
  9. In a properly designed multiplayer scenario, there won't be any hawking around the airfield looking for an easy kill. Unless maybe in a parachute.
  10. I have seen the Ak47. I will have to go look for the air freshener.
  11. I forgot bird strikes and random failures. I also add those in.
  12. I see it as another option, much like a password or weather. Both of those knock out most of the gamer types on initial contact. I also sprinkle in wake turbulence and the requirement to monitor guard. That usually starts all kinds of hand wringing, gnashing of teeth, and arm flailing from those same types.
  13. First of all, the "hand holding" and accommodating of newbies and shallow gamers is not there because ED wants to be "nice" and make everyone feel better. They may want that. But I believe it's there because it gets them more customers and more $. It's their business. Secondly, I would welcome the ability to disable autostart on the server. Having to go through the process of startup makes people fly differently. It's just like limiting resources at a base. It encourages self-preservation rather than the kamikaze behavior that is all too common on any public server. It's not about ego or "coolness". It actually affects how the mission progresses. As a pilot, I find it laughable that people cannot be bothered to do a short startup procedure. These people probably wouldn't be too happy in real-world flying.
