Thanks Grimes That works for me. At least it wasn't simply due to my inability to find much using the Search tools in ED Forums OR that I had just missed it in the Manual (which I also searched using Ctrl+F ... for those that didn't know you could do that !). So thanks again Grimes.

Thanks Grimes. That's good to know. Where might I have found this information for myself ? {Just so I'm not asking too many stupid questions in the future} I didn't see anything about this in the open-beta manual.

Looks like TS has been down for a while. Seems to have quite some time yesterday (Thurs) afternoon. Hope to catch y'all on the server some time later today.

Oh if only that were true. Would have to use that Action more than once per mission !!

Today I noticed an ACTION that I don't remember seeing in v1.2 called "Begin Playing Actor". Does anyone know What this does ? or How/When to use it ? I have searched the forums without any success and I have searched the Open Beta DCS World Manual. No Luck !

Thank you all for the replies, especially you Sabre-TLA. I appreciate the instructions and will check that out (even though I am Not familiar with .lua scripting ... but I might find what I'm looking for). Grimes - I am actually unable to start my 1.2.16 mission in 1.5. Everything just hangs but never loads. But what I was asking for is a way to get a List of used Triggers etc so I don't have to go back and forth from one version of World to another, just to rewrite a mission. But I didn't realize that 1.5's inability to open my earlier version mission to be considered a Bug. There are several new things in 1.5 ME ... like a checkbox that changes the way Text Messages are viewed in 1.5 (which I still don't understand yet). In any case, I now have the information I need and so I thank you all again. Have a great day y'all.

I apologize in advance IF this topic has already been covered. I certainly can't find anything related via Search tool. I'm sure most of you have discovered that the DCS 1.5 Open Beta's ME is somewhat different than 1.2.16's is. At the very least, 1.5 does not seem to like most of my missions. As such, I/We have to rewrite most of the missions. I am very new to mission editing and my current mission is quite complex (to me ... had help from dooom to make it work at all). I'd love to be able to Print Out all the Triggers and Actions etc so I don't have to have both versions of DCS World/ME open and go back and forth between them ... trying to copy/recreate triggers (without which I really don't know what I'm doing still !!). So IS there any way to print out a spreadsheet or the like from which we can work ? Alternately >> Any Suggestions ?

Now if only I could find a similar mod for the Mustang !

Thanks dooom In fact I already scowered through that thread earlier today. Unfortunately there seems to be a clean glass mod for everything But the mustang. But I sent Devrim a PM with the question with hopes he has a mod or knows where I can get one. Thanks again doom. PS> Maybe see you in the skies later today.

Someone on TS this week mentioned that there is a Mod that cleans up the cockpit glass on the Mustang. Can someone please provide me with a Link to that Mod ? I can't seem to find it in the User Files but then I never had much luck searching there. Thx in Advance.

Any self-respecting pilot would clean the windows before flying !

I too immediately noticed the overhead glass panel tint/dirt/fog ... whatever it is. It truly sucks, especially when in a tight bank and trying to see where .... bang.. or there it is. Darn Buildings !

I have a similar situation. I crash to desktop from Multiplayer .. often and even crashed to desktop when trying a single player "create fast mission", mission. It usually happens as soon as I start moving from my parking spot OR when I start my run down the runway at take-off. But then it's happened during flight after 5 minutes or so too. I saved the dcs.log file just in case it is useful to anyone.

I was flying the Huey out of Batumi, ferrying Cargo around and decided I would land on a Ship in the Harbor (just North of Batumi Air Field). I ended up falling through the ship and then flew through it from one end to the other and back. And yet, I crashed into a neighboring ship. I have a (13 mins) that show this phenomena as well as some Beach Tents on the Road which "may" interfere with road traffic ?! You can see the Tents at about 10:10 in the video and the Non-Solid Ship immediately afterwards. Also I have noticed something that also happened in previous versions of DCS World where after placing/unloading Cargo UNDER a Tower Crane, the Cargo actually ends up on TOP of the crane instead !!????!! I'm not sure there is anything that can be done about this but I thought I should mention it anyway just in case. Please See Attached Screenshot.

Thanks Merlin-27 I was hoping it wasn't just me. I do have my share of difficulties .. if not one thing it's another ! Thanks again. Now if only I could get my Centered Seat Position and FOV to save (same prob I had with 1.2).

Oddly, now that I DO have 1.5 installed, I don't see DoW in the Server List either. BTW - It would be nice if we could sort the Server List by Ping (or whichever column we choose). I haven't been able to figure that one out at all. Makes for allot of scrolling and reading when all the servers are seemingly mixed willy-nilly !

I did the same as Captain Orso but I won't say it worked perfectly. I Cleared all the Columns in the Options for each controller (Rudder Pedals, Throttles, Stick, TIR). Then I loaded my saved profiles to each of those columns. They show up in the Options as they should. However, when I double click on any control option which "appears to be" assigned, I see there is Nothing Assigned. eg: To fire cannons I use Stick Trigger Button 1 and that is what is shown in the Column Category. But when I double click on Gun Trigger, it actually doesn't show anything is assigned. So I don't know what's up with this but I have seen it more than once (also in v1.2)

Hi ctguy That definitely wasn't the DoW TS. I don't think anyone here would do things that way at all. If you have difficulties getting connected following Merlin-27's instructions, let me know and I'll get you hooked up in a jiffy. Just PM me and I'll get back to you asap. Good to see ur still kickin' !

Hi Friedric The answer is YES. DoW Server is in the Multiplayer server list and is currently using the most up-to-date 1.5 open beta. UPDATE: However, I too am having difficulty finding it in the server list at the moment. I have no indication that the server is down but then I'm having some issues trying to figure out the new Multiplayer Server List ... thingy !!

I agree that this is a Favorite of mine too. While I'm glad it got updated to fix the cargo portion of the mission, I would have rather it continued to use the Original Radio Frequency for the Stolen Vehicles. I have not been able to get that part to work since the revision. As such, I still fly the original mission. Flying people around and chasing stolen vehicles offers lots of fun by itself. Thanks again for this excellent mission.

I concur with Dooom. I have never seen or heard of the Command Prompt method. Like Dooom says, look in Start/All Programs/Eagle Dynamics/DCS World/Repair DCS World. Click on "Repair DCS World" and it will execute the Repair Process which will only take a couple minutes at most.

Thanks for your offer Wrecking Crew. I'll probably need all the help I can get. Seeing things done once or twice really cuts down on my learning curve time. Once I see something done, I can usually figure it out and be well on my way .... as opposed to simply reading something and trying to recreate it in reality. All said, DOOOM, I have Downloaded and Installed TeamViewer and I "think" I have it set up (configured) the way it needs to be. But Before I bother either you or Wrecking Crew, I will do as much as I can on my own first. I am currently setting things/objects etc where I want them and trying to create some Triggers (or at least Trigger Names/Descriptions and Locations). At the same time, I have commenced doing my PDF Manual Homework to try to learn as much as I can on my own before asking for any help ... so I'm not a complete newbie basket case (to help eliminate and/or reduce Your Frustration with ME !!). At this moment I think I am getting a bit of a handle on Triggers. I have discovered they are necessary for most things I wish to accomplish in this mission. Finally, DOOOM, I will send you my Draft Mission with Written Explanation/Plot as soon as I get as far as I can go so that you will have some time to contemplate it prior to hooking up with me. Thanks again to both Dooom and Wrecking Crew for your kind offers to help me out. Have a good one !!

It would have been nice if DCS had considered a Canopy Damage Texture for the P-51, especially considering all the pilot kills we are victim of. BTW - DieHard, considering it only takes about 2 minutes any time I have run a DCS Repair, I wouldn't hesitate to do it anyway ... and as often as need be.

Hi Doom Thanks for that. The fact is, when I saw you online last night I then dawned on me that you would probably be a good one to ask, knowing how much you have worked with mission creation (really good one's at that). It wasn't until then that I remembered that you have already created some Huey Missions. So I just might take you up on that ... sooner rather than later. In the meantime, I will try to find out what TeamViewer is. It sounds handy. I'm guessing it's a Whiteboard attachment for TS for live graphical stuff. Thanks again friend.

Stonehouse - Thank you. In fact I do have that link and I forgot all about it. Time to sort some bookmarks I guess. Thanks again for that. Exorcet - I appreciate that information. It is as I expected (if not as I had hoped). Hopefully, I'll be able to avoid scripts for this mission. Otherwise I guess I'll go as far as I can go and then maybe hire someone to give it the once-over and add/fix anything they think will help. Thanks again friends.
