Hi all - Update 2.9.18.12722 has introduced additional scripting functionality and therefore also new security features. Unfortunately, this means that in every Rampagers missions, whenever getting the option to use the windshield switch to make a radio call, you will get a scripting error. We're working on a permanent solution. In the meantime, to overcome this problem, you will need to give your DCS permission to call functions in lua scripts. You do this by copy/pasting the following lines into the file Saved Games\DCS\Config\autoexec.cfg if not net then net = {} end net.allow_unsafe_api = { -- this defines the secure zones where net.dostring_in() should be called from "userhooks", "scripting" } net.allow_dostring_in = { -- and this defines the scopes that you want to use from net.dostring_in() "server", "mission" } You can do this with any text editor. You can also use the attached file. For more details, and to verify the authenticity, please refer to this link: And sorry for the inconvenience. autoexec.cfg

good job (as usual)

This made my day, thanks 2circle. A bit of behind-the-scene stuff in response to your comments. The voice actors were full of enthusiasm. No way we wanted to take that away from them - it's contagious. And of course there's way too much chatter on AUX altogether, but that's to tell the story. Actually, hadn't thought of a penalty on the recovery weight. Loving the idea. We did actually try to create time slots for departures and recoveries, but it got really messy. AI groups got stuck on the catapults if you, as the player, didn't comply. The long missions with AAR were also a worry -- we weren't sure whether it would be well received in the community -- so didn't want to add extra wait time at the end of a 2-3 hour mission. But, perhaps we need to revisit the idea next time. We're here for carrier stuff, after all. -
Mission script error - after new update 22.7.2025
Nix Mills replied to KENNY1988's topic in Bugs and Problems
Hey Kenny. Thanks for reporting this. The issue you have follows on from today's update that has added security controls to the scripting environment. We will have this in every mission. BIGNEWY has provided a fix in the link above which involves editing your autoexec.cfg file and pasting a few lines into it. -
Ouch. I wonder if there's been an update to the weapons effect. We'll check and update. Thanks for reporting it.

Thanks, I hope you had better luck the second time. I'm not sure how it got to that point - it was waiting for the wingman to detect the MANPAD, however all that should've been over by the time you did show of force. We'll make sure to build in a safeguard to prevent it from happening again.

That is unfortunately a Core DCS bug. If it persists, .

Stupid question but...

Yes, I made those updates just after the cutover. Enjoy. -

Thanks. This is really helpful. I can see that it is missing also giving you 5 points for being on station when the operation commences. I'll make sure to fix this.

Scoring system seems right to me, but you’d need to get all the targets for a 100 result. As for your loadout, you’ll need to push that one up the chain to CAOC who issued the ATO.

I can take a look. Do you have a screenshot or message log of the debriefing you can select at the end when you’ve landed?

Hi guys I'd really like to ask for the lua task "refueling" to be made so that it can be used for a Unit also, like many of the other tasks do. The task works for a Group, but if you give it to a Unit (such as your wingman), the Unit will "RTB". Examples: Refueling = { id = 'Refueling', params = {} Group.getByName('Ram-2'):getController():setTask(Refueling) <-- this works fine for an AI group Unit.getByName('Ram-2-2'):getController():setTask(Refueling) <-- if used on player's wingman, wingman will RTB Keep up the good work - love it.
