[JDAM feature questions?]

Markpoints would certainly help with the delivery of many weapons.  Just not sure where that feature sits in the feature queue.

[So how do I land F-5E in IFR low viz weather with new 2.7 clouds?]

Here's a mission I fly to practice IFR with TACAN approaching Havadarya.

You could make a mission at any airfield because we have a portable TACAN unit now.

 

Reaper guy did a video on it which gave me the idea:

I am using the stable branch (2.5.6). The track I provided is in that release. 2.7 is not related to that specific issue at least.

 

Anyone checked the track? I opened a bug but no feedback there.

 

I drop these bombs frequently with the Viper and this has never happened to me.  I never use a 20ft spacing...seems pretty small to me.  I am always using a spacing of 45+ with good effect.

Are you trying wide and narrow FOV? Just a guess. 

They changed the way it worked, but this is how I got it to work.  Wide FOV and full zoom out.

Could you post a track so we can see this happening?

[How to use dedicated server(s) with Tacview real-time telemetry]

Hi,

Having problems removing the 10 minute delay.

 

I've added the ["Tacview"] section under plugins in the options.lua file.

In that, I changed ['tackviewPlaybackDelay"] = 0

 

When clients connect, they are still subject to the 10 minute delay.

 

Running DCS OB 2.7 dedicated server and exports are on.

See my attached options.lua file.

What am I doing wrong?

-Wraith

 

 

---EDIT---

I solved my own problem.  Was not the options.lua.  I didn't realize you had to copy c:\Program Files (x86)\Tacview\DCS folder contents to Saved Games\DCSxxx

This puts the hook in place so now the server and tacview can talk to each other.

 

Hope this helps someone.

[Engine Overheating]

I've attached a track.  This is the first time it's happened to me so I'm a bit confused.

I can't even take off until my engine overheats.  

What am I doing incorrectly??

Further testing of the rangescript.lua I sometimes get this error.. see the attached file.  It appears to be related when at above min bombing altitude to launch bombs/rockets and I enter into zone.  The message appears twice, which seems to coincide with enter zone and exit zone.  I have set range.bombingMinAlt = 1800

 

I'm also finding the following issue:

 

1. strafing zone maxAlt = 1500, the in-zone messages are being displayed well above that altitude.. 3-4k

Something may have failed with OVGME...

Check than d3d11.dll is no more existing in the folder where dcs.exe is, if it is still there remove it. If the problem still exists, do a game repair.

 

removing d3d11.dll from the dcs.exe folder worked.  Thanks,

I used to fly with an office chair, and what I did was rolling the chair sideways into "flying position" instead of rolling it forward, so that the wheels are rotated perpencidular. That prevents you from sliding backwards most of the time, but it can still be an issue.
I since then moved to a "one person sofa" from which I removed the wheels.

 

I got something similar to these.

I think its either an 18 or 19 thats not in the tables.....maybe another one or two as well.

Hi, it can be done with a function scheduller using MIST.

Here an exemple mission (tanker named 'Shell' turns on and off beacon - 1X A/A - every 10 seconds. you can see it in the Player F16c cockpit by displaying TACAN T/R A/A page on Data Entry Display, showing BCN TKR on and off every 10 seconds. You can of course change the 10 seconds and the tacan settings by editing the script)

I've searched for band/frequency charts and whatever I saw, 1X was not 1088000000Hz.

Thanks for all the replies.  I tried both D and G variants WITHOUT ripple mode.

I am using AGM-65D variant. I start mid air so should be no boresight issue.  PRE mode, Auto handoff, I get the handoff complete.

Every time I try this, I fire and the Mav hits short of the target.  I doesn't look like the maverick sight is quite aligned with the TPOD (again air start).

Then the question is can you place your aircraft (module) in the mission. It would be nice if the mission simply requested it when loading in sim. Does that make sense?

 

The way I understand, all the modules and AI are available to place on a map in ME. It doesn't care what you own. You can set any 'valid' module as client.

When it comes to flying the mission, you can only choose aircraft/module you own.

[Stand Alone Editor?]

Wondering if you can't just install the DCS core app and not install any of your modules. Save the mission files then from the game PC, load the .miz file from a shared drive to the other system.
