[Carrier landings]

Same problem with me.  Able to hook in the Caucusus training mission, but not able to in my own Mariana WWII map.

[Templates gone]

 

Use the Icon on the toolbar.  Works.

 

[Add Template]

Thanks @Mistermann it works.  I too never realized the icon on the left.  Odd that the drop down and icon bring up the same template list, but only one works

[Add Template]

I am unable to place a SAM template down on any map.  I'm using Edit->Add Template.  It doesn't matter which country (USA/Russia), no templates get added when I left click the map.  In fact, when I left click, the Add Template menu disappears.  Tried multiple maps (including Caucusus) and still not working.

I did a full (slow) DCS repair and still can't place a template on the map.  Turned of historical unit icon, still nothing.  Let DCS recreate the MissionEditor folder in Save Games, but to no avail.

Has anyone encountered this?

 

PS:  All Mods disabled, and Static Templates work on Caucasus

[Persistence support Scripting API functions]

Last newsletter said:

"DCS version 2.9.15.9408 also includes new persistence support Scripting API functions which also work with the Mission Save feature with custom scripts."

What is all this about?  Any documentation on this?

Turns out the radio selector on the Huey needs to be set to INT even with easy comms on.

Not sure whne this changed, but working now.

[Rearm/Refuel Pagan Airstrip Marianas]

Uh, that's weird. It works just fine for me, and I haven't changed anything.
Are you trying to rearm from the start of the mission or did you fly and land and try it that way?

I tried from start of mission, rearm mostly

I'm trying to setup and invisible FARP at Pagan airstrip to rearm and refuel the Huey.  When I make the request, I get no response from the ground crew.  Easy comms is turned on.  What am I missing?  See attached.  Thanks

Edit: i do have a fuel and ammo depot, as well as a refuelling truck and a rearming truck.

[Custom Payload - Delayed fuze setting not saving]

This still appears to be an issue.  Adding and removing bombs will modify the "Saved Games\DCS\MissionEditor\UnitPayloads\P-47D-40.lua file, but changing the nose or tail fuzing does not write the changes to the above mentioned LUA file.

-Wraith

 

[Custom Payload - Delayed fuze setting not saving]

Ok.  So I deleted the file from UnitPayloads folder.

My P-47 is saved with an empty payload in ME.  In mission. I choose my custom payload with 4s delay.  I shows up with the default 0s fuze delay.

BUT, If P-47 is saved with the 4s delay fuze in ME, in mission, It shows up as 4s delay.  

So in conclusion, in mission, with an empty payload, and choosing the custom payload with 4s delayed fuze, the fuzing shows up as 0s

Hope this makes sense.  Attached is the file again

[Custom Payload - Delayed fuze setting not saving]

Hi Flappie,

I've included screenshots to demonstrate. 
'ME Custom Loadout.jpg' shows that my fuse is set and saved to 4s in ME.

'Mission Custom Loadout.jpg' shows when I select the same loadout, it defaults to the 0s fuse delay.

Note that I marked my custom loadouts with an asterisk.

Clearly it's not be saved to use in mission.

 

[Custom Payload - Delayed fuze setting not saving]

In mission editor, I created a custom cayload for the P-47D.

I select 3x AN-M64 and I set the fuzing to the 4s fuze (can't remember the name). 

After saving this loadout, I go to the mission, select the newly created loadout, but when I check the fuzing, it goes back to the default 1s fuzing.

Fuzing doesn't get saved with the payload.

[Toss bombing issue]

45 degree release angle.  I wait 5 seconds after the cue stops flashing, pull my 4Gs  and I hit my targets all the time.  Thanks

 

EDIT:

Ok.  After some testing at different altitudes, It seems that below 1000 feet, I'm successful with a 30 degree release angle.

Above 1000 feet a 45 degree release angle works fine for me

End of 2022 and still can't destroy a bridge on the Channel map.

I've been on DCS for years and loved it!!

Lately when I launch DCS with VR I can get to the hanger, however the DCS launch page never comes up.

I just installed 2.8 today, issue was already a problem

Just updated Steam VR

Just installed the latest Nvidia Drivers dated 10/25/2022

I update the 3D shader within Nvidia to 10GB as the support page recommends

Any Help would be greatly appreciated 

Updated with dcs log

 

Update 2 I used the  --force_disable_VR to force into windows mode and all I get is a black screen

Something similar was happening to me.  I had a program files MOD that was breaking DCS.

Remove any mods you may have and try again.

I tried the mouse scroll wheel and it made me zoom in, that's in addition to showing the ruler.

I just meant press the wheel button, don't scroll.  Once pressed, hold and move the mouse around.

[Mission Editor Ruler Mechanics]

For a quick ruler, just press and hold the mouse scroll wheel button if you have one and move your mouse to a location.

Yes, I attached a .miz example with P51D and 50°C coolant temp.

The data needed for that are located in mainpanel_init.lua ( \DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\P-51D\Cockpit\Scripts ) :

Coolant_Temperature					= CreateGauge()
Coolant_Temperature.arg_number		= 22
Coolant_Temperature.input			= {-80, 150}

Just wondering why in the trigger you set the Min at 0.56?

Hi

I have tried the same procedure and can not ripple two missiles ;-(

Make sure you are using the LAU-117 launcher for your Mavericks.  Doesn't work with LAU-88.

[Maverick GMT and HTS Slave]

Not sure it's a bug or if I'm doing something wrong.  Tracking moving ground targets to attack with Mavericks.

I enter A/G mode.  Mavericks are ON.  Switch to WPN page

Switch from GM to GMT mode.  Reduce the MAP brightness.  I see my moving targets.

Switch from Mav. VIS mode to PRE mode, and the GMT mode seems to reset and I can no longer see any moving targets.

Please see attached track file

[Finding coordinates/steer point creation from map/HSI]

Coordinates are displayed on the FCR when you have a target track or in FRZ.

With SOI on the FCR press 7 on the ICP to bring up the markpoint page on the DED and TMS up to create a markpoint at the current FCR cursor position then press "0" to make it the active steerpoint. Remember to CZ to remove any slews afterwards.

SPI is displayed on the HSI so you can slew the FCR to move SPI to where you want it on the HSI then make a markpoint there.

 

I didn't realize the Markpoint DED page was working.  I'm only able to make a Markpoint using the A/G radar with FCR
