I was trying to make a nightly mission for cities like London and Paris, but there seem to be no options for streetlights, and headlights on cars, Ai or Player Controlled? Looks nice in Il2, where i made a mod for streetlights, Cologne by night:

They do, and the fun part is you can have trains running around without locs. If they don't spawn, check time?

Now start making one?

Just now saw it, is there a trim option for elevator?

Can you trim or adjust especially the elevator for the Christen Eagle somewhere in a Lua or else? It seems not possible in the controller setup in the game.

H Razo ... do you ever sleep? You seem to solve all my problems with DCS

Nope, just on foot soldiers in a street meet, ww2 assets and Combined arms. Is a flame thrower possible? Like to experiment with that, i'm bad, i know.

ggrewe's stuff above looks great ... Just been experimenting with 'street fights' in Paris ..... it's really weird that a poor dying virtual soldier has black smoke rising above the spot. Makes you feel extra bad.

Willie a Paris mission...... you'll need WW2 assets and Combined Arms, and Normandy 2.0. I cannot get Willie and his convoy mates to behave; f.i. he crosses Seine bridges, but half ways in the water, and at the end he does not obey a default parking command at the Nostre Dame. Dunno what function to choose there, maybe some other command?. But it's a nice trip, if only for those crazy French Ai drivers ... place here: ..........\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\tech\WWII Units\Missions\CombinedArms\Single Willie a Paris v1.zip

Just tried the Fast Mission Generator .... is there any thing better than this yet for 2.8? I tried to create a ww2 simple mission, andIt works but you need too much editing. 'Historic' marked, but f.i it still creates Belarus jet-planes as opponents for a p51 prop.

A wall were it shouldn't be:

Po' Wiilie. He lost his head in a RAF Ambulance Jeep ... maybe in love with a nurse? This is with my Trackhat Sensor v2, Player view active, pic 1, and Opentrack v 3.2 software. Seems meant to be LoL, but no wonder i keep crashing into walls etc ... When you switch to external view, Willie is Well again, see second pic.

I'll put a police car in the line up ...

Hi ME Crew. I wanna create an ON ROAD truck convoy. Can you do this in a way that they keep a certain distance without bumping into each other? So far i got one with each truck having its own waypoints, but there must be some master and slave truck setup possible. Is there some formation command, as i saw terms like abreast, and more once ...

Dang .. that's it, y'all thnx

I noticed a change of (player and playable vehicle) Icons. Don't get why ... to do with mission and time settings? version one (older one, marked Active Player): New version, now always:

Is that possible? It seems you can access windows only if you have a second monitor active; you can mouse around there with DCS running.

Can you find a link for them? i made working streetlamps for IL2 about 2 years ago, Cologne by night:

Just looking for that, for a Willys jeep or other vehicle in ww2 CA .... not found yet.

PS in IL2 there's a great template for the C47 and now updated for the recenter player version, but it contains 2 4096x4096 PSD files. IMO to do with the cockpit etc, I noticed that the template for the B17 has a different size in DCS, 8192x4069, without cockpit etc, as it's a Ai plane. Looks quite simple maybe. I guess a template for a C47 probably will have the same lay-outing as the B17. Has any one a dds or knows where they are located in DCS ? I found some in ..... \DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\tech\WWII Units\Textures\C-47.zip\ but airplane parts seem scattered all over the zip file. ================================================================== I made historical skins for civilian C74 planes in IL2. Lettering below the cabin windows was realty difficult for this one in Photoshop with special warping of parts, and also kerning: The Delta Airlines here was also a hell of a job, especially due the bands on body placement like engine cowlings and wing boots being partly warped and differing in relative size:

Here's a guide too: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/move-or-restore-default-location-of-saved-games-folder-in-windows-11.8717/ I am in the same process, but where are the profiles for your planes etc NORMALLY saved, as i used a specially homemade folder for 2 years now. Probably also in the saved games folder?

There is target info in special, is that what you mean? PS found out more to get it working as player:

I tend to use game flight mode as a DCS rookie, and also because getting the hang of each plane individually is not really my thing. I like to try different planes every time, and some times get bored with a specific difficult one with too many items to get right just to get lift off. BTW Avionics mode, where is that in 2.8 ?

WW2 and the London map .... created a simple mission about touring London in ww2 ... alas too many issues still but fun ... ========================================================================================== My first attempt in the mission editor, place the attached file here for a Willys sight seeing trip through London WW2 in a nice summers atmosphere.: ......... \DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\tech\WWII Units\Missions\CombinedArms\Single Be warned, you'll be overrun by trucks, busses, even on park footpaths, and halfway 'cross bridges your Willys will submerge, but it's fun. You'll need Normandy 2.0, WW2 Assets Pack, and Combined arms, and if you're an experienced ME expert, please add to this mission. Use the mouse to view the progress of Willie in London: WWII CA Willie in London v4.zip Pause the game on start, press F10 and then unit take control, then F7, after this you can drive your Willys. Here's a new version where you can 'cross the Tower Bridge: WWII CA Willie in London v5.zip
