Truly appreciate all your efforts, you had a big impact on DCS mission development, using capabilities "still over looked, to this day", by ED. You took intuitive mission design with under the hood solid LUA code to help make mission maker dreams turn to reality. Many creative and cool features that made DCS more dynamic and more immersive as well as supporting intelligent core functions for continued development. Some of my favorites: FactoryZone, Convoys, Valet, Messenger, of course the King of Kings..... CloneZones! Clever items such the implementation of ASW, very slick. Intelligent resource and performance prudent capabilities such as Impostors. And of course tclGUI which gives server/community managers extra flexibility to trusted players to quickly swap missions or reset, etc. As you know I'm fond of saying...."Take the rest of the day off" Relax and contemplate the next big challenge. Many thanks!

Hi, Ever since the release of the Corsair, in Multiplayer the landing gear is down when you're in flight (despite having retracted the gear). While this doesn't appear when you view your own airframe, other players will see your gear down. Also this appears to have an effect on airspeed. Please fix this pretty obvious bug as it wrecks immersion. Hopefully this will be fixed in the next update, although I see no mention of it in the Friday newsletter. Thanks

cfrag, Worked like a charm, many thanks!

Hey cfrag, Hope you are well, encountering an error with twn.lua on the WWII Marianas map. When I run the mission at startup getting a script error. The first image is with DML 2.5.1 the second is using the twn.lua from DML 2.5.2. I tried with DML 2.5.2 and I get the second error. I imagine it's a DCS WWII Marianas issue since it's the latest to hit the streets. Never had any issues with twn.lua in the past so I am highly suspicious of the WWII Marianas map being the issue. Any insight is appreciated, thanks.null

Yeah the lack of Quality Control has been in decline for quite some time now. In usual fashion there will be marketing spin about how they have developed stunning graphics for pilot model boot laces and yet no serious logistics system for the Chinook or as you point out, the DCS 'Save game/Save State" fiasco. Then I see in the Patch notes yesterday references to "DCS Voice Chat".....yeah nah, please no more efforts in that direction as previous experiences with that feature are buggy, performance impacting, and in no way comparable to SRS. I find myself failing to comprehend the programming directives, priorities, and quality control (lack thereof), at ED. Thankful for your diligence in maintaining DML with the ever changing hot mess that DCS can be at times.

Yeah it sounded and looked ugly when they announced it, IMO ED is using this a beta test for further Dynamic Campaign development. Not exactly how I would do it. Not even touching for now, needs a lot of work, plus there are already community/author developed means of persistence or saved state that are far better.

And DML just keeps getting better and better, thanks for your work as always!

Outstanding, the work/development of DML rolls on, thanks for sharing your most excellent efforts. Take the rest of the day off.

Most excellent update as always, many thanks!

Nice!!!

Hmmm I like where the heloTroops amd groundTroops are headed for, (sorry bad pun Wednesday I guess). The new functionality sounds cool.

LOL Men without Hats. I would call them a "one hit wonder" but they actually had another hit as well. The video for this was so goofy!

Outstanding, thanks for the continued development. Intrigued and curious, looking forward to poking around the new undocumented stuff. Laughing nervously and slightly scared after your comment here: - wingTaskHelper - ugly. undocumented. You don't want know how the sausage is made.

All these years raised in the English language and I still don't get it. Thanks for the second set of eyes, works like a charm now.

Possible Issue with objectSpawner? cfrag, Happy Saturday, building out a new mission and using the objectSpawner to create bullseye rings. I've specified "Container red 1" as the type of marker for the spawn. However whenever I run the mission the the objects default to the "Mark Tyre White" ??? Currently working with DML 2.2.2b, I've tested with older versions of the objectSpawner LUA, in case there was something weird with the latest code, but it's not working. It might be something in dcsCommon? (Other missions where I have the objectSpawner running seem to work fine?) Let me know if you need me to send over the mission. Here are screenshots of the loaded DML libraries and objectSpawner zone config. Thanks!
