Thanks for the clarification. I do all my programming for MP. Your hoggit scripting reference is invaluable.

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

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.

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.

I am working on a REDFOR training server that features the Yak-52. It may be a while before it's online though.

I hope she flies like the real thing.

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

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)

double post

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.

I have seen the Ak47. I will have to go look for the air freshener.

And night ops. I do those too.

I forgot bird strikes and random failures. I also add those in.

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.

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.

I still can't see it in the video. But I have seen it a few times on my system, although rarely and seemingly at random. I run the default high settings for graphics on an AMD6800XT. It might be video card related.

I have watched this video a number of times and have yet to see anything wrong

Rudel learning Lua is fun. It is much simpler than many other languages. Anyway that script can be written without Mist.

Yes. I see altogether way too much talking by internet fliers. Many things are accomplished by head nods and hand signals. It would be nice to see this as standard for all fighter and attack aircraft. It would be nice if ED could add a few hand signals bound to buttons on the hotas.

I used to see those little black boxes with SSAO on while flying the L-39C and the Su25T. Now I do not. It appears to be fixed for me. AMD Radeon 6800XT and Ryzen 7 3800X My graphic settings are just the default "high" settings preset.

That has to be one of the all-time worst acronyms ever created...it's bad even by government standards

That's not true. Presets are not required except on some very few older aircraft that are not always present in every scenario. I have made missions where I put in a ton of presets for each flight and put all that info in the briefing. I still do that. But that is part of mission making. It's not a chore. It's just part of the process and not a problem at all. As far as the A10 not having presets, I say who cares? In real life presets are used mainly by squadrons for local everyday freqs such as approach control, tower, the range, etc. Most other freqs are simply dialed in. Presets are something to simplify the task at hand when time is critical, like on an approach. But they are not required. It amazes me how gamers thing it's such a chore to pre-brief a freq and dial it in by hand. A kneeboard is a good idea..and I don't mean the one on screen. You need to brief your flight. That includes frequencies. On my server, if a pilot cannot be bothered to dial in a freq when necessary, all by himself, then I don't want him there. If his aircraft requires presets then he will have them. But I expect a basic level of airmanship and equipment familiarity.

The displaced threshold is obviously there for the road. You don't want to be dragging your gear into delivery vans. Also, in the image above, which is so blurry you could not even see a pole if it existed, there are what appear to be trees near the red mark. I would be willing to bet that those trees are every bit as high as a light pole.

Flight simulation is a niche. It would pretty much be dead already if not for the likes of ED. Anyone Remember the old Janes titles? Where are they now? So, ED has to sell stuff to stay in business. NATO stuff probably makes them more money. That's unfortunate because I love the old REDFOR aircraft. But that is the way it is. That being said, have you (the OP) not seen the updates they are doing to the old B-52, S-3, and B-1? I am sure they have more updates coming. Plus, we have a ton of new maps and new content on the way. I think the future is bright for DCS. Yes I want my beloved Grach and the Su-33 to be full modules. I am not giving up on DCS yet. As for me, I also got a little burned-out on DCS. So, I started spending my time programming and working on a new server. You don't have to quit DCS. It seriously is the best simulator out there for aviation.

The US Gulf of Mexico has all kinds of potential for a DCS map. It has plenty of military bases, plenty of ocean, plenty of bombing ranges, and Cuba not too far off. All kinds of fictional scenarios could be run there. As I recall Janes had that area back in the day
