And the F-5E and the Hornet. They almost all flex their wings. Taxiing an F-5 is pretty scary if you've never seen that. It's such a light machine, that sidewinder on the tip looks like a serious weight!

Nice! thanks Grimes!

Hi all, I built a couple of small scenario's that spawn random OPFOR. I used a trigger system to do this. * One trigger, on mission start, that puts a random value between 1 and 100 in flag 1. * One trigger for fighter group A that activates it on condition of flag 1 being more than 1 AND less than 25. * One trigger for fighter group B that activates it on condition of flag 1 being more than 25 AND less than 50 * One trigger for fighter group C that activates it on condition of flag 1 being more than 50 AND less than 75 * One trigger for fighter group D that activates it on condition of flag 1 being more than 75 AND less than 100 Now on tuesday, on the 'stable' version, this would give me one of four possible groups. Today this no longer works, no fighters get activated. For some reason the only way I can get this to work is a 50/50 chance with one group having the single condition MORE than 50 and the other LESS than 50. Having both (more and less) conditions leaves the groups unactivated! Le bug? I suspect something broke when it comes to evaluating trigger conditions. Also, if anyone knows of a more elegant solution to activating one out of a number of groups, I'd be happy to learn :smartass: trainAA4.miz

Hi, I started rebuilding my A2A exercise run. I wanted to run it to see if the weather settings check out. It crashed to desktop instead of loading the mission. DCS.log is attached. (might be an idea to set the forum to accept .log as an acceptable file format if y'all want us to submit them. Having to zip 'em up is just another hoop to jump, non?) Gah, turns out I had old roughmets modded in, repair fixed me. dcs.zip

I hope a vineyard bug fix is in. I had to turn ground object shadows off, and while I do appreciate the added smoothness this brings to the sim, I miss the depth and realism the flat shadows gave.

Oh dear, I'm afraid I haven't kept around logs but I'm quite certain letting the sim re-do the shaders after an update or driver update has unf$#ed the graphics on multiple occasions. Alas, it did not fix the Caucasus vineyard bug.

So just for completeness' sake if I were to want to add some randomness to my training scenario's, how would I go about spawning stuff on a percentage chance, or picking one out of four units to spawn? Say I want a chance of about 33% of a MiG appearing over the target, and the SA-2 site being placed either north or south of the target, how would I do that?

One advantage of center stick is you can hold a position with the left hand while the right one does something else, like fiddle with an MFD, tune a radio or sip a coffee.

You sir, won the internet for today O7

JHMCS to TGP would be nice.

The Cuacasus apparently has grown a very large wine industry almost overnight, because what used to be woodland has turned into this: Latest patch, latest GeForce drivers, deleted shader cache (metashaders2 and FXO) before loading.

Cool beans, thanks.

Hi Miles, I saw you are sending out units to people that are way later on the list than me, is there some step in the process I have missed? I'd still love to someday receive one. Wouldn't mind getting to the back of the line if necessary. Cheers

You sir, are my hero. Going to HSI, then DATA. WPT, UFC and set ELEV to zero does the trick!

Weasel dance is almost as fun as BFM tango. For an easy beginner's exercise try running an SA-2 site dry. Its quite doable, but it will make you go splat if and when you make grave mistakes.

Wasn't we supposed to get a PM on this forum when our number comes up? I thought I was on the list but never saw notice.

Its a pretty simple copypasta job to put it there. I will edit this post with detailed instructions how to when I get at the PC again.

It is not, the mail ocntains a one-pixel image that links to a thingamiebob on the digitalcombatsimulator.com domain that counts reads. It's odd and looks very fishy indeed. Bad show there ED! This is what's in the body of the message:

Does the map matter as well? AUTO bombing LGB's go way long on the Gulf map. But I has some fairly good results on the caucasus map...

Yes it is. Try the Enemy Within 3.0 campaign, you'll love it. Makes the red flag one look boring and repetitive imo.

Huh. I have been getting some really inconsistent results. Perhaps I should try some CCIP deliveries, see if the bombs see the laser that way.

how did you do that?

I'd love this machine!

Holy mother of Bog that is awesome! invulnerable shark is untouchable!

SP all the way. People are either sociopathic posterior cleaning material or not in my timezone.
