Greetings Surrexen, loving all of your missions as are the rest of my squadron. I have an issue with the Clear Field mission I am hoping you can help me with. With the AI support in the CAP options we are able to enable the F-16s but they do not spawn in. We receive the confirmation message that they are enabled but the fighters never appear on the map. If we choose the F-18s the same message appears but they do not spawn and if the F-14s are chosen there is no message and they do not spawn in either. We are using the latest version of each mission, is there something we are leaving out? The same support options work fine in Snow Fox and Black Spire missions.

Thanks for responding shaHeen, but it seems I have not asked the question correctly and I'm being made to feel dumb by the first response I got so I'll just drop it. I'm not an expert at DCS that's why I ask questions here, thanks again shaHeen have a great day sir.

When I referred to blast radius I meant the dispersion of the submunitions used to be wider, the pattern seemed to be wider before the last update. The LS-6 was just a typo on my part, all I am asking is if the dispersion has been reduced in reference to the submunitions. Also I mentioned my altitude in my first post but not my speed, lastly I am only asking a question not criticizing the JF-17. It is my favorite aircraft in DCS by far so I'm just looking for information.

It appears that the SFW glide bomb's range and effectiveness have been diminished since the last OB update. Prior to the update I would get a launch que at about 16-18 nm and could take out an SA-11 site almost completely with one bomb. Flying yesterday the release point was around 12 miles and the burst radius appeared to be much smaller than before. Has anyone else experienced this issue since the last update? Has the weapon been nerfed in any way?

I did this today for the IL-78 but I did not know there was a mod for it, I added ' TACAN = true,' to the line above the CanopyGeoometry line using Notepad++ and was good to go.

Excellent work as always Eduardo! The JF-17 is my favorite aircraft and I really appreciate the time you are devoting to it. The more people know about it the more folks will want to fly it, keep up the excellent work sir!

I second this, I used it to convert all my mp3 files to .ogg with no problem at all. It will also convert to the .wav format and is free as well.

Trying to setup AAR practice mission but the iL-78M does not appear to have a TACAN setting. How do I locate the tanker or is there a way to set a TACAN for this tanker type?

Do we use Russian or NATO tanker?

Which tanker does the JF-17 use for AAR, Russian tanker or NATO?

Greetings sir, I am loving all your training vids, do you have one in the works for AAR? Can't wait for next video regardless of the topic, keep up the good work!

Excellent work sir! I finally got it figured out, I was not updating the DTC prior to trying to use the DPLAYER, once I updated it worked with no problem.

I am clear on how to install/uninstall the AAR probe and can do it with no problem, my issue is that in my hot start missions the probe is attached by default when I spawn in and I have to shut down to remove it. It is not an AAR mission and the mission was created before the probe was released to OB. How can I stop the probe from being attached by default?

I don't feel dumb at all now, nope not at all. Not one little bit. :) Ha, just got it working, jeez, thanks for the help everyone. I'm good to go now.

Excellent, thanks for the response, also I am unable to get the DPLAYER to work despite putting all files in the correct locations and in the correct format, (.sdef and .ogg ). I get no response from the DPLAYER in cockpit in either SP or MP.

By all means, I would appreciate it and I'm sure many other JF-17 pilots would as well.

Ok I pasted your .sdef files into my folder and it still does not work for me.

So for instance, I have 10 songs in my folder, you are saying for each one copy the example.sdef and rename it each time to music_02, 03, etc. Instead of making music_01 and then copying that file? If so then I get it because that is what i did, I copied the example once, renamed it then copied THAT file another 9 times and changed it to 02, 03, etc.

After today's update I am getting a weird output when entering the M3A IFF code for the TRS setting. I can enter the INT code as normal but when I enter the TRS portion the word 'PLAY' is displayed in the fields prior to the number fields ( see attached ). I have attached the track and the log file from this mission. To reproduce just select mode M3A and enter your codes, the incorrect display happens for me when I attempt to enter the code the second time. dcs.zip DPLAYER_NOT_WORKING.trk

Yes, see attached, not sure what I am doing wrong as you can see from my first post I put all files in the correct locations, my slider is at 15 and I have 10 music files.

Greetings, how did you get the DPLAYER working, I have my .sdef and .ogg files in the correct folders ( see attached ) but the player does not work in SP or MP for me.

I have saved the .sdef and .ogg files to the listed locations and am not getting any response in my JF-17 cockpit, please take a look at the attached screen snip of my folder paths for the DPLAYER setup.

Thank you sir, much appreciated!

How do you access the music player for the JF-17 that came in today's update?

Roger that, thanks for the quick response, much appreciated.
