Any update on whether this function will be added, much appreciated
-
Yep, I saw exactly the same thing, also noticed that the 30secs seems to start when he drops his bomb rather than impact. I hit the assigned target at 15secs after Gruman and received a fail. However great first mission. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Operation Pontus 2.7.0 Update & Upcoming Campaign Upgrade
Oilman100 replied to gregzagk's topic in Operation Pontus Campaign
Thx for your reply, I think you mentioned elsewhere that scores will now be shown for strikes in a future update, I ensure that the main strike target is hit on every mission, but it is a bit disheartening to be told on your return that the mission was not a success and you need to do better; most of the time I also hit several other units as well, mostly Shilka or tanks. Hence the observation that you don't feel part of the battle /war. What is shown on the F10 map is rather sparse (mostly SAM sites) and the units are spread over a large area, so without having dots on they are very hard to spot. I really like the concept of this campaign and bought it day 1, I know that you will continue to make it better, I understand the limitations of DCS editor so know that it is not easy to implement what we believe should be easy. Keep up the good work. -
Operation Pontus 2.7.0 Update & Upcoming Campaign Upgrade
Oilman100 replied to gregzagk's topic in Operation Pontus Campaign
One great addition would be to see the battlefront, one of the nice features of the Liberation campaign is that you can see your progress as the battlefront moves back and also helps to plan your own missions. Currently it is hard to see what progress you are making and what areas you should be targeting. Just a thought -
View switches to missile view after launch
Oilman100 replied to Oilman100's topic in Bugs and Problems
thx -
I noticed on a few missions that when I launch a missile, it automatically switches to missile view and I have to F1 to get back into cockpit
-
In addition to the above mentioned labels issue, I took off and intercepted the Su-30, destroyed it and hung around the waypoints for a further 15mins with repeated calls to DARKSTAR and skies are clear, only to be told on my way back that the mission failed as my target was not destroyed !!

reported Kneeboard shortcuts stop responding after six
Oilman100 replied to Oilman100's topic in General Bugs
Thx it’s a workaround but I use it with Voice Attack for quickly jumping to different prescribed pages within the knee board. Will hopefully get sorted soon as it should be a quick fix -
DCS automatically taking screenshots every minute
Oilman100 replied to Oilman100's topic in General Bugs
So I found the issue, I had bound F13 key within Vaicom for Radio 1. So everytime I transmitted on Radio 1 it took a screenshot. No idea what F13 has to do with taking a screenshot but putting in a different key solved the problem. Thx for everyone’s comments -
DCS automatically taking screenshots every minute
Oilman100 replied to Oilman100's topic in General Bugs
I had screenshots going back 3 yrs so it has been happening for a long time and I just never noticed. I will try and check different module tomorrow and report back -
DCS automatically taking screenshots every minute
Oilman100 replied to Oilman100's topic in General Bugs
I did check this but the only key assigned for screenshot is the PrintScreen / SysReq button, which I don’t use for any other key binding in the game -
At mission 7 and still asked to SEAD
Oilman100 replied to mporlier's topic in Operation Pontus Campaign
What I’m picking up with your follow on post is that we are not taking full advantage of the ‘dynamic’ element and we are just following the XO tasks which as others and myself are seeing are repetitive SEAD even though there is nothing to attack when your in the air. There also seems to be a severe lack of opposition aircraft, often I see 5 or 6 allies attacking one poor MIG, not sure why but there never seems to be allot of RedFor aircraft in the area. However as you point out there are large numbers of ground units which we are not equipped to attack with our current strategy. So I need to break the mould and for Mission 8 it will be ground attack and also assign 2 other flights on strike as well. Also until now I have not used the Jtacs which as you rightly point out will cause an increase in moral etc. Please continue to enhance and grow this campaign as it is very enjoyable and keep steering us in the right direction to get the best out of this unique campaign. -
I noticed I was using allot of disc space and on investigation I found that there was almost 40GB of screenshot files in my saved game DCS screenshot folder. I deleted them and then flew a mission and noticed that DCS was taking a screenshot almost every minute, this is all in single player mode. Any idea why this is happening and how to stop it.

Strike TGT Circle and Co-ordinates don't match
Oilman100 replied to Oilman100's topic in Operation Pontus Campaign
The co-ordinates are 38T KN 58210 10388, this is also over a Warehouse -
Strike TGT Circle and Co-ordinates don't match
Oilman100 replied to Oilman100's topic in Operation Pontus Campaign
This is what I saw, I’m assuming this is the circle you mentioned above, however the co-ordinates are nowhere near this position, I’m talking > 10miles away -

Strike TGT Circle and Co-ordinates don't match
Oilman100 posted a topic in Operation Pontus Campaign
In Mission 4 I need to strike a warehouse which houses some bad guys, the circle in the F10 map in debrief and the given co-ordinates are 2 completely different locations, which one takes precedence ? They both appear to be warehouse type buildings ? -
Comms menu and briefing screen overlapping
Oilman100 replied to hreich's topic in Operation Pontus Campaign
I see exactly the same issue e.g when called Awacs to check in I get the call but the info is over the menu and I've got to wait until it disappears before I can enter the code -
No optional strike target object under red cricle on F10 map
Oilman100 replied to zildac's topic in Operation Pontus Campaign
Same issue on this mission, there is a red circle but it's in the middle of nothing, so nothing to strike -
I'm also getting exactly the same behavior, multiple SAM sites but not turning on, so Harm's are useful

Tacview, the ACMI for DCS World – Official Thread
Oilman100 replied to Vyrtuoz's topic in DCS Modding
I have Tacview advanced as has my flying partner but we cannot get the online debriefing to work, we have both loaded the same acmi file, then launch the Online Debrief screen, put in one IP address as host and start and the other person puts in the same ip address and hits join, it tries but nothing is connected. Not sure what to do with Pilot and password at the top. Any help welcome.
