159th_Falcon

Two things really, time and money. That's all there is to it, and don't forget, most of the airframes have already gotten significant updates compared to there FC2 or earlier incarnations. And last, who say's there not working on it? We don't know they are, but that doesn't mean there not. Think its rather unlikely though. Maybe when NTTR, DCS 2.0 the FA-18 and the carrier updates are done. (done as in, out of BETA)

Ping from them to your, or from you to them is the same thing really. Its just a measurement of time for a packet of data to be sent from A to B. And indeed the lower the better. Mind you though, pingwise in DCS i can play on servers whit pings up to about 250 and still have a smooth running game. Your issue might be a server side enforcement of (certain) graphics settings that your system cant handle. You might want to check your FPS online and offline and try to compare. (L CTRL + Pause/Break key will bring up a FPS counter in the top left corner of the screen)

No wonder i cant refuel in 2.0.............:doh: Glad i read this though, the hours spent :joystick:

Got the same problem in 2.0 open alpha. When i am in formation pre-contact he's flying about 320 knots, when i declare im in position to take fuel and the chute comes out he starts accelerating. Highest I've seen so far 355 knots. Even more annoying, after a while he says, "return pre contact" and rather literally hits the brakes. Nearly instantaneously slowing down to 310-320 knots. Another annoying thing that's happening is that once i finally make contact, the tanker starts looping "contact, return pre contact, contact, return pre contact" in an endless loop and I'm not taking any fuel, despite staying connected. See attached mission I'm using, mind you I'm using 2.0 Alpha. (EDIT, the fact im not getting any fuel is prolly because of the fuel transfer switch not being in the correct position:music_whistling:) A-10C CO-OP M-2000C.miz

probably, might be FC 1.12 though. Wonder if a 3 ship is still possible.

Nope, not possible. Though there is a way to effectively prevent others from editing your mission. Not sure how it went exactly but it had to do whit the fact that the mission editor and the actual client use separate co-ordinates for unit placement. So after making the mission, you could change all ME co-ordiantes of all units to be the same, making it damn near impossible to effectively edit the mision. Mind you though, this was over 3 or 4 years ago, no idea if this has changed. ***EDIT*** Just had a look in a recent mission file, doesn't seem to be possible anymore. ***EDIT2*** http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?p=727486#post727486 As i said, used to be possible, links are broken though and I'm pretty sure that the way of protecting the mission doesn't work anymore. (mission editor co-ordiantes were X and Y, ingame co-ordiantes were Lat, Long, just change the X-Y ones to 0 to let all units show up in the same place of the map in the editor but not ingame. though, current missions only have the X, Y co-ordinate system)

@ WinterH +1, nuff said.

Have you tried running it as administrator? right click on the icon, "Run as Administrator" In the pop-up that appears, click yes.

Version 1.5.3.50487.22 WAS the Open Beta version since a bit under a week. As of today, ED has decided it was stable enough to promote it to the latest stable version. So the latest stable release of DCS is V 1.5.3.50487.22 as of today. See link below; http://updates.digitalcombatsimulator.com/ As a final note, the open beta client and the stable release are both running the exact same version. Meaning there effectively is no Open Beta at this very moment. ***EDIT*** The use of the open beta version is that it runs a different updater. This will update to the latest Open Beta release if/when available The regular install has an updater that only updates to the latest stable release. At the moment, both installs end up being the same.

The real problem is warhead implementation. AFAIK all warheads are equal in DCS. So if you get realistic results for rocket/shell A, you will get over or underpowered rockets of type B. Unfortunately this won't change until ED starts to actually model the warheads correctly. Which in turn probably means we need to model armour correctly as well. (or atleast rudimentary armor classes for MBT, hardened shelter, AFV's, infantry, etc etc) Meaning that it's gonna be a huge undertaking to fix it all properly, without having any real return on investment from a company's perspective. Nice example would be the BETAP 500 SHP, a bomb designed to pierce x amount of concrete by means of rocket propulsion before exploding. Though, if you put an ammunition bunker ingame its damn near impossible to take out whit either regular FAB 500 bombs or the BETAP 500 SHP. Where as the latter, should be able to take out such a bunker whit a single direct hit. (it should also work great for blasting huge craters into runways)

Awesome!, that works wonderfully. Thank's for the update and goodluck on DCS-BIOS:thumbup:

Awesome video, shame the camera cant keep up whit the rapid movement of the blade during flight though. Maybe one day someone makes a similar video whit a high speed camera.

Ill check later this evening when I'm back home, thank's for the pointer though. Will post here when i find out. Contents of MissionScripting.lua Maybe the line that says "dofile('Scripts/ScriptingSystem.lua')" must change into dofile('ScriptingSystem.lua') Or is it the single ' that needs to be " ? --Initialization script for the Mission lua Environment (SSE) dofile('Scripts/ScriptingSystem.lua') me_3dview = {port = 46587} dofile(lfs.writedir().."me_3dview.lua") --Sanitize Mission Scripting environment --This makes unavailable some unsecure functions. --Mission downloaded from server to client may contain potentialy harmful lua code that may use these functions. --You can remove the code below and make availble these functions at your own risk. local function sanitizeModule(name) _G[name] = nil package.loaded[name] = nil end do sanitizeModule('os') sanitizeModule('io') sanitizeModule('lfs') require = nil loadlib = nil end

Hence the reason i made a new mission in Nevada. And given the fact that Mist itself does seem to work in DCS 2.0, i cant think of a reason why this cant work. Then again, don't know much about this kinda thing so could be completely wrong.

Tried to make this work whit the OpenAlpha, unfortunately no succes. Followed the tutorial plus some extra steps; Opened the 3d view mission in winrar and extracted the mist .lua script. fired up OpenAlpha ME to make new mission and added the script to it using trigger. See screenshot for the trigger to load it and initialize the 3d script, copy pasted it from the openbeta mission. However, when i load the mission and hit the Fly button i get two errors, see screenshot again. After acknowledging the errors the mission does load but the 3dview script does not work, Any idea's?

Who says ED is updating all MIG-29 variations? Could be just the S. Though, in general, i like the idea of making a fighter of FC3 level available for free. But if it is the MIG-29, SU-33 or whatever else, doesn't really matter to much to me. (though, F-15 and SU-27 would be weird cause they already can be bought as seperate modules)

I think SiThSpAwN was referring to WWII bombings, not terrorist attacks of recent years. Also, a lot of WWII was door to door fighting in cities. Here's an example of a Major City in The Netherlands from before and after WWII;

Thank's :thumbup: EDIT; For the openbeta i get an error on the webpage, "element not found". Ill try again in a wee while.

Only problem i am having is that the OB version does not seem to be available from the website anymore. And had to delete due to a shortage of HD space. Anyone has a working download link?

Don't know what Relentov used ofcourse, but on these forums Notepad++ is often recommended.

Just a case of most mission designers not setting up the weather in a challenging way. You can make your own mission's though, and even create dynamic weather based on cyclone/anticyclone systems. In the mission editor, look on the LH side for the weather button, then on the RH side a menu should appear, note the tabs at the top for standard and dynamic weather. Play around whit the value's and see what happens when you try and fly. Also note, when selecting dynamic weather, the wind strength and direction changes overtime. It may also start or stop raining/snowing, lightning and thunder are also possible.

Not in 2.0, some long way back in Black Shark i believe you could. You can change the time of day, the day and month though.

Tough choice between the SU-25T and the A-10C, and here's why; The SU-25T, as an aircraft, is quite easy to learn to fly and fight. You probably already learned most of what you need to know. What makes it hard is that you need to know, before taking off, where you can find the targets that your after. The Skhval is a targeting system, and not really suited to searching for them. The A-10C is the other way around in a way, its a good bit harder to learn to fly and even harder yet to fight whit because of its advanced systems. Though, once you master those systems its a much more suitable platform to start searching for targets if there location is not already known. It's also very helpful that you can use markpoints to store location of various targets, similar to the ABRIS of the KA-50 but much more advanced. The best though, is to have a multiplayer flight of all three; SU-25T, KA-50 and A-10C. Here the SU-25T will have to rely on the KA-50 and the A-10C to talk him onto the targets. Unless your doing DEAD, so that the A-10C and other planes can move in. To be honest though, the possibilities are endless and there really is no good or wrong overall. Its all dependent on the exact situation.

You guys also remember, all of a sudden, how the DCS MIG-21BiS started out as a mod years and years ago? Lets hope something similar will happen whit the Bismarck, and other ships mentioned in this thread. ps, May i suggest looking towards World of Warships for inspiration? Then again, you probably already do.

Yes Please;
