I believe this thread is not a request to add a VietNam map, but to add VietNam to the list of available countries in the ME, and add skins,.

Lookin' good! Needs an Ernest Hemingway-like pilot model. ;)

From my tests, if you define the templates by hand in lua, you can have multiple types in a template, and they will load into the ME as expected. The mechanism for defining such a template in the ME GUI is lacking though.

Contacting DCS support via the main website, I was able to resolve this issue. Please contact them if you have similar problems.

When I try to update DCS or install a purchased module, I get an error box that says: [DCS Updater] Digital signature verification failed. I am running 8.1 I am able to log in and out of my account in the modules page of DCS. I reinstalled to the latest DCS version, did not help. A repair brings up the same window. Deactivating Firewall also does not help Deleting my Saved Games\DCS folder does not help I also get this when attempting to update another computer (XP) which has vanilla DCS - not linked to an account Thanks

For a higher level overview of GCI and radar at this period, check out Instruments of Darkness: The History of Electronic Warfare by Alfred Price http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/068415806X/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?qid=1410552866&sr=8-2&pi=SY200_QL40

The P-38 is a beaut, but if I was looking for a two engine fighter-bomber that fits in with the current mix, I sure wouldn't mind a Mosquito. Given that we may have multi-seat working soonish, it would really shine if some effort is put into nightfigter radars and searchlights.

It's been awhile sine I've used the ME. Tu-142 does not seem to have a ground attack or bombing task, though it does have an anti-ship task. Do any multi-engine prop planes have a land attacking task?

sorcer3r, I will try to test this myself this weekend, but meanwhile, try changing to 1 to a much larger number 10, 100, or 1000, and see if that works. Also, try printing the value of height to the log with env.info() and see if the value is reasonable. \edit : yes, min height for the huey when landed is 1.5, so testing against 1 was always false. I fixed the example.

Good guess. : function UnitInZone(unit, zone) local unitpos = unit:getPoint() -- note that getLand uses y for East West instead of z -- IIRC height will be in meters, -- when landed, Huey height is about 1.5 units. local height = unitpos.y - land.getHeight({x = unitpos.x, y = unitpos.z}) if unit:inAir() and height > 3 then return false end local triggerZone = trigger.misc.getZone(zone.ZoneName) local group = unit:getGroup() local groupid = group:getID() local xDiff = unitpos.x - triggerZone.point.x local yDiff = unitpos.z - triggerZone.point.z local dist = math.sqrt(xDiff * xDiff + yDiff * yDiff) if dist > triggerZone.radius then return false end return true endas an aside, I did not find any docs on unit:getPoint(). Is it documented or is it an addon from a custom library? Seems really useful shortcut for getPosition. Or is this only available here because the unit is passed from an event?

you have to register the event handler with MIst so will run your function periodically. So, make sure you have done a doscriptfile on the mist lua, then in your script, after the code you have above, make sure to add: mist.addEventHandler(shotHandler)

You probably want an world EventHandler that responds to S_EVENT_SHOT. Inside the handler function, you can check what type of weapon was fired, and where, and if it is a threat to the SAM site, you can set your flag True.

Besides these excellent examples from MBot, are there other scripts that add high level AI to a mission? Maybe we should keep a sticky list?

If you are a bit comfortable with programming, I suggest downloading Grimes' Mist and sct utility libraries and looking through them as well as trying to use them in lua. Very informative, much better examples than the basic ED docs. Also, there are a few recent Huey mission examples that have been posted on this board that are very helpful.

If you are still collecting suggestions: sct.teleportToPoint takes a groupName as an argument. This is a great convenience, and generally what the user will want. However, I have been playing with randomizing the groups a bit (applying casualties) and would like to optionally pass my own table in the format that sct.getGroupData returns, rather than a group name. thanks again for your work.
