Could we please have a trigger condition "rocket in zone"? There is a bomb in zone and missile in zone, however the mission I am trying to create would use white phosphorous rockets fired from a Huey to trigger AI actions, and I can see any way of setting that as a trigger condition. Thanks!

What is the secret to getting aircraft to not peel off when they should be patrolling the search area and only responding to enemy entering the zone? Instead of just taking off after anything within their search radar range... Search and Engage in Zone does not seem to provide what it implies.

The current map sets Afghanistan local as Zulu+5. Afghanistan is a weird country in that the time zone should be D+, i.e., Zulu+4:30.

Hi, In the mission editor some of US navy boats are labelled incorrectly. The destroyer has a CC icon and the cruiser or missile frigate has a DD icon. I world expect these icons to be the opposite of each other here.

Making this a separate topic and It is amazing to hear that a Balkan map is finally coming to DCS. With seeing the planned map, I do have some wishes of certain airfields/cities that can be added which would make the map overall more complete and true to the feeling it is trying to convey. As in the attached image, I propose the following: 1. In Romania: - LRTR/TSR - Timișoara International Airport / also is 93rd Air Base Giarmata - LRAR/ARW - Arad International Airport - LROD/OMR - Oradea International Airport - LRCS/CSB - Caransebeș International Airport / also was 73rd Air Base Caransebeș 2. In Hungary: - LHKE/QHK - Kecskemet Air Base - LHTA - Taszár Air Base Reason: Adding these airbases will undoubtedly complete this map and make it much stronger compared to others from a historical, logistical, and operational point of view. I mean- it already is with everything going on in the Balkans, but for a complete sense of realism regarding the Balkan operations, this would be the cherry on top. The 93rd Air Base existed at Giarmata (on the civil LRTR field), it was disbanded in Aug 2004 and its military sector is now an annex of the 71st Air Base, hosting the 712th Helicopter Squadron also a newly formed Romanian UAV Bayraktar squadron. In the past, this airfield operated MiG-21s, a large number of MiG-23s. During the 90's and early 2000's. this airbase hosted some US Reserve aircraft for logistics, such as C-130s. The Arad International Airport is a rather small airport in the city of Arad but it has a rich history as it had been used in intensely in WW2, currently however it is rarely used for commercial flights and it functions as a base for Emergency Rescue Air Service of Romania called SMURD. It could function as an alternate or emergency airfield. The Oradea International airport located close to Hungary's border can function as a simple yet one of a kind airports as it can offer support to hungarian air bases in specific missions. The 73rd Air Base Caransebeș was a military airfield with units rotating across decades and most notably, a Helicopter Air Base was established in 1984 and operated until 2001. If I am not mistaken, the largest number of helicopters of the Romanian Air Force was stationed here, IAR-330s and IAR-316. What makes it unique is its location between dangerous mountains which also offers a unique view for take offs and landings. Now it functions as a private airport for the Romanian Airclub but it is ocasionally used by the RoAF. For Romania, especially as these airbases/airfields are in the greater detail part of the planned map, can offer a unique addition to the purpose of this balkan map. And as member TB mentioned in the wishlist, "TASZAR Airbase was busy as a logistic hub receiving many transport aircraft. Also reconnaissance operations with USAF Predators operating from the base. KECSKEMET Airbase was doing daily CAP operations with MiG-29 aircraft." Overall, all these airbases and airfields would be a great addition and I believe many more here would agree, would love to see it! null (C-130 of USAF at LRTR in 1996) null(MiG-23 at LRTR) (LRCS - Airfield view)

Hi All, I am hoping to find a group that flies the Viggen, Mirage 2000, or Mirage F1. A Cold War setting would be preferred, and I have a great interest in scripted recon or ELINT roles. I look forward to hearing from someone.

Hi Baltic, someone reported a similar problem in August and it was reported fixed but I just experienced the same problem. I successfully hit the building and I successfully hit the west technical by the river and then I hit the APC east of the Utah FOB, and I was careful to ensure I was coming in the from north and egressing west. I hit the target and Darkstar (I think) says great F'king hit, and then nothing happened. I flew around the area for about 10 minutes with no communication and then decided to fly back to base with no further comm's, and when I ended the mission it said I had killed friendlies and my score was wiped out. It looks like from the debrief that the APC is around some friendlies (wall and some other assets). Thoughts? Really enjoying the campaign by the way!!

Hi BIGNEWY as requested heres the Report for Destroy Group ( Train Deactivation Not Working ) Also the trigger Deactivate Group does the same thing if you try and Deactivate a train. Example - You cannot Deactivate a Train arrival at a London Terminus Station so you end up with a load of unwanted Trains on top of each other in a last waypoint hold. If you Deactivate them they dont dissapear they fly off over the city forever to an unknown destination. This needs fixing as cpu gpu and memory resources are being used up. ----------------------- Heres the details using the miz or trk files - Compare the ground vehicle and train group destroy after 10 seconds. Ground Vehicle destroyed by group destroy script at 10 seconds = Ground Vehicle Disapeared from Game view. O.K. Ground Vehicle Disapeared from F10 Map view. O.K. ----- Train destroyed by group destroy script at 10 seconds = Train does not Disapear from Game view and continues forwards forever off track route. FAULTY Train Disapeared from F10 Map view. O.K. Thanks for the help Waterman Group Destroy not working on Trains.miz Group Destroy not working on Trains.trk Group Destroy not working on Trains.rtf

Neither curve or deadzone has any effect in my F/A-18C module (fine with others) for rudder input for yaw axis. No matter the setting I always get raw linear input with zero deadzone. Any ideas? Or is it a bug?

Currently in game they are just red half circles with a broken white line. That is partially correct. Current in game look: The red circle is meant to have white lines within it as presented in this image: Key thing to note is that these zones are meant to be as wide as an F-16I Soufa. Thanks for reading this.

Hi there, I ran the mission 12 two timesand got the same problem. After the refueling step, I follow the Hammer to the Tango WP. We are instructed to standby by Clearwater. The Hammer flys from Tango to Big City and vice versa. For hours! Nothing seems to be triggered at this stage, not any radio calls from Clearwater, Black Knight. Not even from the Hammer. I attached screenshots of the message history. The track file is 75 MB large, so it can't be joined here. (limit is 50 MB).

I've encountered an error in mission 8 of the campaign where my wingmen are all unable to take off due to the Humvees placed in front of them that are supposed to move after the initial briefing at Taxi. I have tried to restart the mission multiple times with the same problem every single time. I'm unable to complete the mission as the AAA that are supposed to be dealt with keep shooting me down. P.S. i love the campaign so far it's really fun but this issue is causing me a huge headache

I've noticed that WEP is not usable between 1000-9000Ft. When trying to engage it at an altitude between 1-9k. I can't find a combination of blower settings or throttle settings which don't cause knock that can engage the wep, as shown on the water pressure gauge. If you start with WEP on above those Altitudes, you can keep it on during a decent all the way to the deck. Once you start climbing again it will shut off and not come back on till 9000.ft. I found this repeatable. See track. LastMissionTrack.trk

hello been a long time since i fired up DCS , although am experienced with it and the f18c , i tried the mission more than 9 times, the JDAM never reachs the sa10 , last time it did but the sa10 wasnt harmed at all!! is the JDAM bugged in dcs for now ? or its something with the mission? i just watched the utube vid of mission 9 and i dont think i did anything wrong with setup or flying

It's a pain having to add the DTC to each individual aircraft in the group if they're using the same DTC. It would be nice if we could load the same DTC to all units in the group like we can with the payload and radio settings.

The topic is DCS Cold War Germany, may i ask you why a huge part of Bavaria is missing? Only a question, no criticism Is it too much work or is the map becoming too large if Bayern is included? It´s nice that you expand to the east and west, but for me it is missing something if a huge part of Bayern is not part of Germany. This is only my opinion. Its a great scenery with all the hills and lakes. Do you plan to make another add on where you expand to the south? Thank you!

Hi, first of, fantastic map. Likely the best in all of DCS. Really fantastic detail and a dream to fly low level in helicopters in VR. My question is, what is the performance optimization of the map right now and what is expected over EA? I am not trying to imply the map is poorly optimized, as the detail I am seeing here is best-in-class and the FPS I am getting (ie over Berlin) may be a natural consequence of such a fantastically detailed map. With that in mind, I am barely able to maintain 45fps on my RTX 5090 and Reverb G2 (90hz mode, locked reprojection to 45fps, ~17-21ms frame time over berlin with DLSS quality). Without detailing all my graphical settings, suffice to say that CW Germany is more demanding than any other map including Sinai, Marinasa, Iraq/Afghanistan, etc. That said... it also looks better and feels more uniquely detailed and dense. However, I also notice that the Syria map from Ugra gets notably better FPS. Of course, it has been out for years and seen many optimization passes. Is the CW Germany map expected to see further performance optimization with time (without a reduction in the brilliant visual quality), or has Ugra already implemented all performance optimizations that Syria has, and the lower performance is simply a result of more complex scenery? Thank you for any insight!
