Flexible timing for unit-level events Saturday and Sunday. Training Pipelines: Ala 17 EdA (Fixed Wing) Phase 1 (Optional): Air Basic Academy (ABA) using the C-101EB, for beginners wishing to learn in a designated trainer, or seasoned aviators wishing to practice the basics. Designed for completion within the ED 2-week module trial. Phase 2: Modeled after ENJJPT (input from a program graduate), train in the Mirage F1BE to learn formation, BFM, and ACM basics. Phase 3: Advanced aircraft training in the Mirage F1EE, expanding to other airframes as the community grows. Fuerzas Aeromóviles del Ejército de Tierra (FAMET) EdT (Rotary Wing) Phase 1 (Optional): Initial Entry Rotary Wing (IERW) using the UH-1H Huey, for beginners wishing to start their RW journey, or seasoned aviators wishing to practice the basics.

Learn tactical flight mission planning, formations, movement techniques, and other RW tactical tasks. Phase 3: Advanced Graduate Flight Training (AGFT) Train in your chosen airframe to fully utilize aircraft systems, and learn tactics techniques and procedures to maximize lethality and survivability during RW operations. . Ambition: Encouraging innovative thinking, we incorporate MSFS/X-Plane military units, aim to build a robust manned ATC program, and plan future integration of Spanish Army rotary-wing assets.

Thank you for looking into it! dcs.log

This tool is great! I have an odd problem. I can select waypoints and transfer them to the ABRIS and PVI, but if I click save, save as, or load, I don't get the pop-up window and after that, the only key strokes that are recognized are ctl+shft+space. No other keys are recognized in DCS and I have to close it with the task manager. I don't have any security software other than the windows baked in defender. I'm not running DCS as an admin. Anyway, it's still usable for me, but it would be awesome to have the full functionality and figure out what's causing this. Log attached in case it helps. Thank you! SharkPlanner.log

I have the same problem. I also noticed it appears to be worse in the Syria map than Caucasus as an example.

Did anyone figure this conflict out? I can confirm it stops when voiceattack is closed, but starts as soon as it's opened. I really like VAICOM, but it sucks that this issue will keep me out of the MiG-21bis cockpit. Thanks for the help to whomever may have cracked this particular nut.

Hey Home Fries, as always thank you, big fan. Just to let you know the H1L and H1R to go between pilot and CP in the Mi8 are reversed. H1L sends you to the right seat and vice versa. Not a big deal just a bug report. I looked through the script trying to solve my own problem, but my Kung Fu isn't nearly strong enough. CTS is the best!

Hi, Home Fries. The short of it is that the station dependent blister window controls in the Mi-8 are not working for me right now, don't know if I'm alone in this. But, my real goal is to continue learning the ins and outs of CTS. I'd really like to understand how the station mapping for the Mi-8 works. I can see the definitions for stn > 2 FE, stn == 2 Pilot, else CP, but I'm trying to find where the program gets the current station info and how it all ties in together, to attempt to my own problem. This may be super complex and beyond my grasp, but I'd love to learn. Thanks again, CTS is the best!

Hi Home Fries. This is my first post and I want to thank you! CTS is an amazing tool. I'm really grateful for the hard work. Just for your situational awareness, I don't know if it was just me or widespread, there was a typo on the FC3 profiles and I was getting the symbol not found error. Throttle was misspelled as Thottle. I opened the tmc and compiled, CTL-F search, corrected the typo and the error message went away. I also had an issue where the left warthog throttle was not registering, so I went into the scripts, found the axis assignments, and the script read along the lines of "if helicopter > 1..." I changed the entries to "if helicopter > 0..." and the left throttle became functional again. I really like how well thought out the profiles are and how they function as a predictable ecosystem. As I learn ways to solve small problems like those above, and the ability to make some fine tuning on my own, I'm even more impressed.
